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 […]
If you design for mobile devices like the iPhone, chances are you already know about this helpful tool, but if you did not already know, or if you are thinking about getting into the game, you absolutely need to know the names Teehan + Lax. Thanks to them, we have a comprehensive launch point for […]
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 […]
I got a chance to meet two of my absolute favorite deep house producers last month, both of whom happen to be from Melbourne.

Dilla remains at the core of my musical heart and soul. I’ve gone on about how much I respect and revere the work of James “Dilla” Yancey, so I don’t need to repeat anything other than my ongoing amazement at the cross-genre inspiration that Dilla’s work has achieved, with this incredible Jazzy take by Robert […]
The Hedonist’s Cloudcasts on Mixcloud Jazz is one of those therapeutic genres with something to offer in just about any situation, with high mountains and deep valleys of recordings to explore, true musicianship from long before my time. I sometimes wish I could go back to the days of strolling through yellow and orange parks […]
Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted last, but if you’ve been coming here before this point, or if you know me, you know my music and design exploration has not ceased. However, as we seem to evolve beyond having the time, interest, or energy to maintain anything larger than a tumblr/twitter-size microblog, […]
