It's Friday folks, and that can only mean one thing - time to double up on your beats dosage and get prepped for the weekend ahead. It's a whole week before out next Tashcast is due (with Stay Ali at the controls, going to be large), so in order to avoid a potentially fun-threatening beat shortage, we've recruited Singapore's own Eden Cai AKA Eye of Eden who has been good enough to supply us with a fantastic mix of his own. Touching on a range of genres, there's [...]

FATBACK - KEEP YOUR FINGER OUT THE JAM 1981
Here's a grip of intro edits I've made the last few months. There are a few rap joints - the Michael-McDonald-sampling classic Regulate by Warren G and Nate Dogg, the Think -sampling More Towels by Philly fav Peedi Crakk. There's a nu-disco joint - High Together by Germany's Siriusmo. Plus, there's the slow, bouncing disco groove of Keep on Steppin by Fatback. This is my Yom Kippur penance. Enjoy. Peedi Crakk - More Towels (DJ Apt One Intro Edit) [...]
Many people have been inquiring what the BeatElectric crew actually look like. It seems to be a real point of interest, which is a shame, as the blog was supposed to be about rare dance records and not our perceived celebrity status, which doesn't really mean anything to us as we are millionaires who live outside and above the normal restrictions and tier structure of society, but seeing as so many of you asked I'm posting the above picture of Kelley B, taken the other night at our two year anniversary party roller dance jam. This is a rare [...]
It's not too often inner-city tweens get full access to a bevy of independent producers, studio time, and their own album - but thanks to the efforts of Sam Hillmer and his program Representing NYC, these six Brooklyn middle-schoolers did just that. Paired with Nathan "ZEBRABLOOD" Corbin (of Excepter), the six girls wrote songs reflecting their [...]
There is no shortage of DJ nights in DC. But time and again, the one that's consistently hitting hard is Fatback. Last month saw the night debut at its new home, Liv, above Bohemian Caverns. And the house was packed - both levels were pulsing with bodies and dripping with sweat. And sure enough, you [...]
FATBACK BAND - SPREAD LOVE - 1983
As you already know, starting tonight, D.C. is going to be open for business for 24 hours a day straight through to Wednesday. Many bars are serving booze until 4am, and if you don't want to go home, you won't ever have to. Having said that, navigating the city is probably going to border on nightmarish, since the [...]
Recently my father was complaining about the fact that house and electro aren't real music because the musicians don't play their own instruments. What he doesn't realize is that today's house music is yesterday's disco. Today's mixdown is a throwback to a time where synthesizers didn't dominate music, when disco was king, and house was on the horizon. The tracklist is impeccable. Every one of these songs makes me move in my seat and want to move my feet. The culprit behind the mix is Toronto DJ SplatterMonkey who has been spinning around Toronto for a while now. [...]
I've often heard that there isn't enough to do in the District. Well if there is one thing that this town has an overabundance of, it's DJ nights. Thankfully, we at AON are here to help you wade through the crowds, by highlighting some of our preferred DJ night options and under the radar venues [...]
