Stimming, Bearweasel, Atjazz, Flori

Spent a little time on Beatport upon returning from xmas in Mount Vision…unfortunately, I wasn’t really feeling the way the ambient set I attempted to record ended up, although the atmosphere while recording was as enthralling as the original mix.  I might patch it up and still release, along with the few photos I managed […]


Blog.H34 – Best of 2009, Part 3: Culture

The final installment of our look at the best of this year concerns a subject I rarely discuss on the blog.  I do, however, read and follow the political, economic, and cultural developments that happen around the world.  It’s probably for the best that I keep the political aspect safely out of the blog, there’s […]


Blog.H34 – Best of 2009, Part 2: Design

It’s that time once again, for everyone to sum up the last year (which of course, flew by quicker than any year before it).  It’s a good time to reflect, and relax, and try to step back from the painting to see the big picture.  While it may not be quite that easy for some, […]


Blog.H34 – Best of 2009, Part 1: Music

Yes, Yes, I know this is the time of year where everyone posts up their best music of 2009 list.  If you’ve been following Blog.H34 for a while, or if you’ve taken some time to read back through past posts, you know that the range of genres looked at around here is pretty wide.  It […]


A Setting Sun, Grouper, Gastón Arévalo, Rameses III

I have been hearing requests over the last few months for a new ambient mix, but despite how much I’d have liked to deliver, the truth was and is, that I don’t accumulate enough solid new material at a pace as quickly as other genres, like hip hop and house.  However, it’s been a few […]


Stimming, Pezzner, Hermanez, Leoesco

Alright, it’s been very quiet around here.  To break the long silence, here are some long-overdue deep house tracks for you to shovel snow to…they could help put a little bit of extra elbow grease in your efforts to brave the storm.  My absence can be attributed in part to being in NYC for a […]


Tycho, Shigeto, Casino Vs Japan, Sunny Day in Glasgow

This Sunday, one of the most exciting shows of the year is going to come right at the end of it, with the Ghostly/Moodgadget Holiday Party at Le Poisson Rouge in Manhattan.  Tycho and Casino Versus Japan, two of my favorite musicians right now, are both set to make their NYC debut.  Fans of any […]


Enter the Dubstep, Kryptic Minds, DFRNT, El Rakkas

Dubstep fans have a lot to be happy about, the genre is on the up-and-up, rising in popularity at unprecedented rates, as 2009 may have been its best year yet.  Yet with all the stylistic variations evolving out of dubstep, and with all the high school teenagers showing up at shows, and with the sheer […]


Quantec, Deepchord, The Echologist, Intrusion

Winter is here now, and it’s time once again to get used to the frigid cold, the absence of color, and the serenity of silence.  But for eyes and ears looking to perceive the beauty of winter, there is plenty to be found.  These images, by Croatian photographer Vladimir Zivkovic provide a perfect visual companion […]


Mountain People, Imaani Brown, Soul Clap, Deniz Kurtel

I do realize that I’ve been posting a whole lot of house music recently, hope people are feelin’ the vibes, but for those who are wishing for more variety, I will make a point to deliver soon…maybe…there’s a lot of good stuff to be heard, but at the same time, I know that there are […]
