History Of House Music...

This was a massive, massive track when UK garage was at its height.

And Tuff Jam are a legendary production duo. They banged out classic after classic...

This is one of many.

Subb Dominating...

Subb-an has been grafting for a while and, over the last few months in particular, he's really been making an impact.

His smasher of a remix of Noir & Haze - Around dropped like a bomb when it popped up in early October.

And this is another wicked little tune. Looking forward to hearing more from him in the coming months...

Everybody Wants To Be A Big Star...

Nice little fusion of hip-hop and house by Huxley and Russo...

I don't update this blog much anymore purely because I'm so busy, but every now and then I post up a track that's worthy of a posting.

This is one of them.

Forgotten Gem...

I LOVED The Shamen when I was a kid.

So when I heard this on an old Mr.C set from 1992, I was over the moon.

Totally forgot about it, but so glad I had my memory jogged.

The Shamen - Phorever People



As a bonus, here's another brilliant tune by Mr.C and the gang.

Fire Fire...

This is a beauty... first heard played out by Seth Troxler back in July, a forthcoming Visionquest release.

My Favourite Robot mixing vocals, mysticism and atmosphere to great effect.

Instant favourite. Works at home and in a club too...

1999...

This is one of those anthemic tracks that reminds of the days when I'd be locked in to pirate radio constantly... way back before downloading podcasts and trawling YouTube incessantly was the order of the day.

I have a very distinct memory of listening to a female DJ, whose name I forget, playing a garage/house set and dropping this in neatly somewhere along the way. I still have the tape and, one day when I have time, I'll convert it to MP3 and upload it to Soundcloud I'm sure.

In the meantime, check this track out. Classic Cassius.

Late Late Late...

Well, this has been around a while and I had heard it on a mix somewhere - I think it was Lee Foss' Modern Amusement podcast.

Anyway, this and the rest of the album Changed by Mario & Vidis is absolutely sublime.

Great great music.

ENJOY!

Slacking...

Well I've been neglecting this blog a hell of a lot recently.

Happy to say it's for a good reason though.. I've been ridiculously busy over the last few weeks.

Interviews, club reviews and so forth have been keeping me occupied - as well as my day job. So I've had no time to post anything on here.

Anyway, I'm off to Amsterdam next week and Turin the week after. Above all that though I'm dreaming of Miami already... seriously CANNOT WAIT to go back.

This tune is great - Dyed Soundorom has quickly become one of my favourite DJs in recent months and he dropped this on a set that's been posted online recently.

QUALITY.
