Photo by Jeri Rafter [ A Made Up Sound ] Despite being one of the most consistent producers out there (or perhaps because of?), Dave Huismans has never really shocked me. Over the years his music has slowed down, embraced and disengaged 4/4 kick patterns, and generally gotten deadlier - and I've eagerly snatched each missive and rinsed it [...]
I don't mean to be a prude when I do this, but we all had favourite albums last year, you can't deny that, and I had too many. In fact, so many that I loved that it was difficult to decide between them all, and I had been reading endless 'trendy choice' end-of-year lists before the year had even gone out. So I thought I might deliver some kind of personal justice by posting one that people can sneer at all they want, but might actually pick out something they overlooked and think "Hey, I might actually try that now, [...]

' Take The Plunge ' by A Made Up Sound is out now on A [...]
Remember 2562? Well if you don't check out our review of the album 'Fever' that we loved back in May. It's great, just like this chilled out mix recently done for Oki Ni. Here is 2562's take on the mix: 'I went a bit emo here and tried to make a more or less cohesive selection of music that provides comfort when things are getting me down; the kind of tracks and songs that can instantly make everything that's wrong seem only [...]

The following is my guide to all the wonderful events taking place during the Strøm 2011. I'll be writing about various happenings on here as well as on the official Strøm blog , so expect a lot of crossposting (and great music!). Morten from Regnsky will cover the other half of the festival on that blog, too, so there should be plenty of exciting things happening throughout the week. I wonder how we ever get anything done. Admittedly, it's summertime and things are pretty quiet at the moment, but look at all those [...]

zero" // podcast #045 - DJ Mix by Zanshin This week's podcast comes from Gregor Ladenhauf, better known as Zanshin , and as one half of Viennese house duo Ogris Debris . Those who only know Ladenhauf from cheeky club hits like ' Raid The Itch ' and ' Salty Womb ' or his club-rocking stage appearances with partner Daniel Kohlmeigner, might expect a similar style of minimal house music from his solo productions. His Zanshin project is however firmly dedicated [...]
With techno and its many subgenres moving into more explosive, dynamic samples and sound manipulations, it is always great to hear an artist that combines the minimalist, percussive-heavy style of techno, with the more modern, dubstep sounds of today. 25622s Fever does just that. David Huisman's production is enticing. "Winamp Melodrama," and its spastic, staccato percussive hits are the first thing to hit you, followed by warped synths and spacey loops. "Juxtapose" is a combination of short snare hits, bubbly synths and reverberated background sounds. "Aquatic Family Affair" will take you on an underwater [...]
This how about this for a great concept album? 2562 pushes the envelope to Jiffy sized proportions with his re-interpretation of underground Disco yes DISCO from the mid seventies to the early 80's with his own birth year 1979 as the gravitational point. The whole thing is based on one simple rule: every single sound no matter how large small or seemingly insignificant or equally as mind-blowingly amazing originates from a disco record. No additional synthesisers, drum computers or other samples sources are involved, at all. So the concept is [...]
