Andy Ash
I first came across Andy Ash late last year after hearing his beefed-up, filtered-out re-edit of De De’s 80s boogie classic “S&M (Sexy Music)”. Andy Ash – Freak (mp3) His love of retro is evidenced by his linking to a myspace page in his soundcloud biography, which reveals that “Andy grew up collecting records and … Read more
Neneh Cherry – Buffalo Stance (The Revenge Edit)
Neneh Cherry was a fairly famous singer/rapper/dj/etc in the late 80s and early 90s; ‘Buffalo Stance’ reached #1 on the US dance charts and she was even nominated for the 1990 Best New Artist Grammy. (Which she lost to the powerhouse plagiarism pair Milli Vanilli) I recently came across an outstanding re-edit of ‘Buffalo Stance’ … Read more
Sleazy McQueen
Sleazy McQueen’s facebook page biography is perhaps the most epic of its kind that I’ve come across in all of dance music. Read it over for the full scoop, and ask yourself how such danceable disco goodness can be sourced from good ol’ Orlando, Florida, USA. Support his truly excellent label, Whiskey Disco, or just … Read more
An Excellent Derrick Carter mix. Which is a bit redundant.
Last month Derrick Carter was asked/begged/propositioned/whatever to do a promo mix for London fashion retailer Oki-Ni. This company’s taste in music is clearly better than just “Ok”, as they’ve previously enlisted the platter-turning services of Simian Mobile Disco, Dam-Funk, and Marcel Dettman. (And doesn’t everybody want to be raving to Berghain-quality techno when they’re trying … Read more
Edit Murphy
Edit Murphy, no relation to Hollywood actor and comedian Charlie Murphy, hails from Beverly Hills, if Murphy’s twitter page is to be believed. No word on his rumored service time with the police force. Hopefully you’ve heard one or all of his sensational Motown re-works: Not much else information is known about him. A google … Read more
Lazaro Casanova
Lazaro Casanova apparently dropped out of a Brooklyn art school to move back to his native Miami, where he started painting musical masterpieces instead, many coming out on the label that he owns and runs, petFood. Listen to this jackin’ deep-ish house mix he recently put out, and check out two of my personal favorite … Read more
new Jacques Renault dj mix
This New York disco dude’s production powers are solid, either by himself or as one-half of Runaway. I swear I’m still hearing his remix of “Beam Me Up” every time I go to a club… But more importantly, a new JR DJ set is always cause for pause. And that’s exactly what you have here, … Read more
Romeo, Where’s Juliet?
Back at the end of last year, we were given the now-legendary Tiger & Woods RA podcast. The Italian edit goofballs have had quite a 2011, touring around the world, dropping more super-cool white labels, and even coming to Chicago in September. Two weeks ago they put out the rest of the missing pieces to … Read more
Neon Indian Mixtape
Everyone and their mother (if theirs is a really cool, hipster-runoff-reading mother) knows about Neon Indian and his memorable 2009 debut album “Psychic Chasms”. While Alan Palomo, the Texas-by-way-of-Mexico native has no actual Indian or Neon heritage, he does have an interesting new mixtape floating around the internet, that was allegedly sourced from the bonus … Read more
