I first stumbled upon the music of London underground house mainstay Mr. G in 2000, off a progressive house compilation I bought in Baltimore called Duty Free 2. This was my introduction to the sound of deep house, and though I wasn’t aware of the distinction at the time, it’s effect lasted long enough to […]
Hello again, readers and listeners. Where have the past couple months gone? Perhaps it’s just best to forget, with the winter refusing to loosen its icy grip on our fair city. Now, we all look forward with even more anticipation to the warmer months, completely forgetting about how unbearable heat can be just as pleasant […]
Ptaki – Krystyna by The Very Polish Cut Outs Beats in Space has been a constant source of new track discoveries for me for the past few years. For over a decade, Tim Sweeney has been bringing some of the most interesting DJ’s and producers into the studio at WNYU to lay down rare grooves […]
My man Detonate gave me a shout recently and clued me into his latest production work, with King Sterlz.

At one point about a decade ago now, I had just discovered the atmospheric drum n’ bass flavors purveyed by LTJ Bukem, and it was the soundtrack to much of my existence. After years collecting dust on an old external hard drive, I stumbled back across this magnificent mix and have been hooked once again. […]
Benoit & Sergio have a good thing going, people are starting to catch on and that good thing is still going. This is the sort of musical success I really love to see, these guys are staying true to their original form, making music that seems reverent to Paul Simon pop and Italo disco on […]
For me, Freerange has always been a guiding beacon in the ocean of deep house, but I admit I started to lose interest a bit this year…that is until some of the label’s more recent releases and podcasts. Last month’s mix from Jimpster was positively rugged and raw, you can catch that below. This recent […]
What ever happened to dubstep as we knew it in America? Some say it was a dead genre even before it broke out here in the US. Its hay day had come and gone before most Americans heard it, before the resurgence of that awful acronym EDM, the sort of empty (even more esoteric) descriptor […]
