Riva Starr just did a podcast/mix for the Berlinbased label Made To Play (run by Jesse Rose ). It was done to promote the launch of his new 123 which will be released by Made To Play in mid October. The funky jacking house mix contains teasers from the upcoming 123 and also some exclusive goodies such as a preview of Rivas "Black Bettie" bootleg and also his Fatboy Slim remix (which has already been played twice by Pete Tong over the weekend).

Sunday Post Compressed Playlist I'm not sure if any readers out there have noticed but some of my photobucket pics are screwed as apparently the popularity of our page has exceeded our available bandwidth with them. I am too cheap to upgrade (and pissed about the no warning) so I will work fast at getting them all back to the original as soon as I can get through the 47 posts in August. (ouch!) To make up for it I figured music speaks louder than words of apology so here a [...]

Jesse Rose and Action Man (aka Herve) bring a monster of an ep on Jesse Rose's Made to Play label called "Take It To The Club". Jesse still presses vinyl so you vinyl seekers would have seen this ep drop in June but for us digital nerds, it dropped into digi-land in August. This means, holy crap, I'm actually reviewing a track in the month I'm supposed to!?!? (well sorta!). The EP contains 2 tracks, "Take it to the club" which is a banger and the late night or earlier morning druggy chugger called "Wind it [...]

A quick post is needed for my old fave Herve. Hes continuing to churn out wobbly beasts, and his trademark style still hits the spot. I wonder ..... how long it will be until i get bored of him? Well i hope its a good year or two before that happens. Anyways.. Herve AKA Joshua Harvey is known by a multitude of aliases: Action man, herve, the count of monte crystal etc etcbut this doesnt detract his tradmark wobbly, bassy club tracks. Favoured by the likes of Switch / Erol and Annie Macs radio shows hes already [...]

Ok, so after a successful first couple of months on the taRDyboy front with mp3's and mixes flying off the proverbial shelves, the time has come for me to introduce you to the stylings of an upcoming producer/dj... or maybe more specifically - 'Laptop Twiddler'! (Refer to Photo!) His name is BoB SwanS (irregular capitalisation deliberate!), and he has sent me a tonne of mixes and mp3's for you guys. See, it really is that simple! Send stuff/I like stuff/I 'big up' stuff! BoB is based in Manchester and plays out both locally and nationally! He [...]

Jesse Rose is back with this extra jackin' number in the form of "Take It To The Club". I think this one goes more toward the fidget territory than his previous effort without losing that Jesse Rose sound. Jesse Rose myspace Music: Jesse Rose & Action Man - Take It To The Club [Zshare]

lee mortimer, tambien conocido como sawtooth sucka saco hace un par de meses un ep, titulado "don't forget about lee", con 5 tracks llenos de fidget del bueno y samples que mojaran a mas de uno. resaltan para mi, "depressed mode" que me puso a alucinar con un sample del temazo "just cant get enough" en pleno break de la vaina. y "backing town" (remixeada en este caso por scott copper) que tambien samplea una cancion que me suena bastante, pero mis limitados conocimientos musicales no me permite reconocer cual es. tambien pasense por su [...]
Bare with me while I get curmudgeonly for a post. Whats with the tail-spin that this " fidget-house " stuff has gone into? Fidget-House, as the kids seem to be calling it, takes cues from pre-millennial UK jungle , 2step and speed garage , basically all the stuff that Switch and his Dubsided co-horts spawned. 90% of it is just awful. The worst of it can be found in the Blogosphere, but have you heard the latest Dubsided releases (Switch's label)? Its like Nu-Jump-Up-Jungle! Anyone remember Joker Recordings and Urban Takeover ? Ironically [...]

Orlando Tonight I'll be playing Firestone in Orlando. Many of you think Orlando is a lost hope or nothing really goes on here. I'm here to tell you otherwise, this spot is very promising. There is a good amount of live shows being booked at Firestone, the next being The Rapture on January 25th. For more info visit Saturday Thursday . Here are some more of my recently added dates. Feb 16 - Miami Feb [...]

The sound of poeple piling the cold on the summer's ice cream. Pink, purple, blue lights & strobes instead of sunshine. Keeping it familiar, daft punkfunky house but with enough twists & turns to keep you alert. Various elements of the song play Frogger with the others, each in turn, techno-dos-i-do-ing across the track. It's demure, never fully spinning around, just in patient 3/4 turns. Plus girls like it. I like that Modular's signees seem to get a free trip to Australia and a cutbanggangvan shetechcopymodu-makeover (in lovely Tsubi prints, [...]
