This guy is something special. Rory Phillips , an icon in the nightlife of London and the UK. Everything he touches turns kind of into gold, when he makes remixes they're excellent and when he makes his own material it's as excellent. Today I just want to collect a bunch of his greatest remixes and let the music speak for itself instead of me babbling on. They're in alphabetical order so you can find more easily. Enjoy Rory and give him all your hails over at his MySpace . Alexander Robotnik - [...]
Wee Hannah Lilley . She was a regular at Gigantic for ages, then she had to go off and study in Germany for a year. Pft. Well, she's back home for a bit, and because we're such painfully nice people, we've decided to dedicate this afternoon's post to her, in a roundabout way. The three tracks here are all related to Germany in some fashion. Like this first tune, from Errors . It's called Germany. I think that's self-explanatory enough, yes? Errors - Germany And how [...]
Denna veckan går vi tillbaka till det lite tristare onsdagsdroppet. Lite smått och gott som nöter på lurarna för tillfället bara! Hit the jump Aufgang - Channel 7 (you and me) (John Talabot remix) L-Vis 1990 - United groove (Kingdom remix) Fabian Lendrum - Trouble (Jakwob remix) Renaissance Man - Rhythm Neon Indian - Deadbeat summer (Afghan Riders remix) Yolanda [...]
My housemate picked up a copy of Riton 's 2001 release 'Beats du Jour' in a charity shop the other day and drew my attention to a few tracks. One that stood out was 'Departure', with glitchy, downtempo synths and a bouncy, funked up edge, pretty much unrecognisable from the kind of hard originals the Novocastrian has been producing more recently. Maybe, if I ask nicely enough, Sam will squeeze this into one of his barbecue sets. Riton - Departure This find prompted me to rummage through Riton's [...]
It is good to be back after another short hiatus – I have missed you guys so much and thanks once again to Adso for keeping the flame burning. Well how was Parklife everybody?? I was floating around Earth in an Aeroplane for about an hour – and that is about as much as I can say… Did anyone get to try out Adso's playlist when they got home – I just gave it a listen and it sounded perfect for after life although I am sure that after life many of us saw death? Since we [...]
Gracias a él, es que NNM es lo que es. Tuve la suerte de conocer lo que era Trash, y lo que luego se Convirtió en Durrr. Rory Phillips , y Erol Alkan , fundaron estas fiesta, la historia real no la conozco, y menos quien tuvo mayor influencia en todo el proyecto. Pero fuera de estos detalles dentro de la historia, lo importante es que quiero destacar a Rory Phillips, como uno de los Djs mas Influyentes en la escena electrónica independiente de hoy en día. Trash y Durrr, fueron por lejos los clubes que [...]
Friday is here - time to get the groove going with a nifty selection of beats for your feets. Much head nodding hip hop goodness is represented by new DJ Vadim and new Luke Vibert, both SIART faves. Onra & Byron take you for a sunny and warm cruise on a sea of flute. The new Depeche Mode is good - I've been listening to it a lot. In Sympathy is so sleek and pulsing. The new Röyksopp is good -
We are divided as to which (of the several new versions and edits of this) tune we prefare, so we'll let you decide for yourself, if any! Expect something a little theatrical, think of an Italian baroque orchestra and you'll be kinda there. Serge Santiago Edit Riton (a.k.a Eine Kleine Nacht Musik) Version Serge Santiago Edit [...]

Have you got that Friday feeling? You know the one - shedding the worries of the week, getting your groove on and cutting damn loose. It's what is happening round these parts, hopefully you're doing the same. Got a few select song choices here to help you get in the weekend mood. Kicking us off is Brian's choice. It's a remix of the lead single from Kanye West 's latest opus 808's And Heartbreaks , 'Love Lockdown' by Pilotpriest . It really gets going about two minutes in. Nice. [...]
Greetings! Happiest of New Years to everyone who've been popping by once in awhile since this blog started somewhere during September. As of this moment, there have been 2100 clicks in the space of 3 months. I am very happy with the statistics, but most of all, I've been really stoked at having the opportunity to share these music that I like to everyone round the world. Every year round this time, music bloggers all over the world would lose a whole lotta hair stressing themselves to come up with their own top 10 lists. Many people would [...]
What a mouthful that is! For those of you who don't speeka de Deutsch it just means 'A Little Night Music'. The single is nothing special. The remixes are a better, especially the 'Riton rerub'. It's got all the key elements you would expect from him. It works in the club and will get the dancefloor moving. The best thing about this project has to be the extras. As well as the album that was released earlier this year there is a wonderful website where you can watch a ten minute video. The video [...]
As you may have noticed, I have been having difficulties with my mp3 links for a few weeks now. I did Boxstr and Fileden for a while, went to File Dropper next, then a bit of Hotlink files (not a good choice, btw) and now that everything has been resolved, I have finally settled with BOTH Zshare and Mediafire . (Dunce) So in this Christmas edition of Hardcore Mixtape, I decided to once again play Santa. I placed what I think may be [...]
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is the the pet project of Riton , who this year has given us some great remixes for Hercules & Love Affair and Mickey Moonlight , and I have to say, I am surprised. Not because it's well done, Riton usually never lets me down in that regard; rather, I'm surprised of the song choice. La Serenissima is a famous Italian song by Rondo Veneziano, and was featured in Justice's rejected FABRIC Live mix. Riton keeps the focus of the original and embellishes on [...]

88 days were just asked about our top 10 albums of 2008. We put our heads together, and now we're happy with this. To be honest, we're not really ones for looking at releases in terms of calendar years. We get lost. And we get stuck listening to our Roxy Music records and missing every new release for two months. But we'll play the game, if you ask. Portishead - Third [ amazon / iTunes / Rough Trade ] Lulu Rouge - Bless You [ amazon / iTunes [...]
Rory gave me this banger ages ago but I thought posting it would be rude. It's all over the internet now so hopefully he won't get mad if I tell the world how good it is. EINE KLEINE - FEUERPROBE (RORY PHILLIPS NACHTVERSION)
© Gareth Pugh Nach einer scheinbar endlosen Welt-Tour und dem dazu enstandenen DVD-Roadmovie beschert uns Soulwax , die Band um die belgischen Brüder Stephen und David Dewaele, dieses Jahr zu Weihnachten eine ganz besondere Konzertreihe in Paris, Berlin, Rotterdam und Hasselt. RADIO SOULWAXMAS vereint Soulwax & 2ManyDJs und ihre besten Freunde in einem Konzert. Dieses Jahr wird die Schleife neben den Initiatoren um Tiga [...]
Eine Kleine Nacht Musik is a concept project by Henry Smithson aka Riton. - In a manner similiar to Lindstrom's " Where You Go I Go Too " EP, Smithson pays homage to krautrock and like Where You Go I Go Too, it's done with great splendor! - For now Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is Modular's secret gem but once it's released to English speaking markets, it won't stay secret for long. The first remix from the self-titled album came from London's veteran DJ, Rory Phillips . And while Rory has been producing dance music for some [...]
Hello my lovelies, sorry for the infrequent posting, back to normal this week. Get yourself over to Bleep immediately & avail yourself of the On the hour series's, Chris Morris' pre-cursor to 'The Day Today'. 'Which is worse, a horizontal disease or a vertical disease?' Chris Morris- On the Hour Trailer (Z Share) (YSI) You know we bum DC Recordings loads round here, but it's only 'cos they're so bleeding good. This week they have two excellent new releases in the shops from Vincent Markowski [...]
