(photo by the amazing san fran photographer merkley ) christian and justin martin (the martin brothers) and dirty bird records decided to have a remix contest. i'm not usually too keen on those cause everyone under the moon gets the parts and gets to run wild with them like chickens with their heads cut off. but i guess when its not posted on all the major blogs and has strict professional judgement criteria (tightness, sound quality, releasability and original use of samples) then you get a better quality result.

I wrote a treatement for an adult film loosely based on the 2008 Presidential Election and it's called ERECTION 2008. So like McCain and his running mate, Palin, throw key parties where they swap mates. And McCain is hooking up with Palin's daughter. And one night Obama gets drunk and passes out and the Palin Girl and she has her way with him. And then the Palin Girl is all preggers and she doesn't know which candidate is the father. The American Public is so upset that they don't know who the baby [...]
Nano Korg is set to release their Korg nanoSeries in October. Releasing first in the UK, I couldn't find anything on a US release yet, so expect to pay a hefty US-to-UK currency conversion. From top to bottom: nanoKONTROL and nanoPAD both at £59 ($109) and nanoKEY at £49 ($90). Head over [...]
The first time I encountered Teki Latex was visual rather than aural. A friend of mine had mailed me French youth culture magazine Clark and Teki Latex was on the cover, grinning from underneath an avalanche of neon, patterned boulders. I had no idea what he did, but whatever it was, I needed to be in on it. With a production style that spans from Dance to Hard Electro to French Hip-Hop, Institubes co-founder Teki Latex is a man who takes his music seriously. But a look closer reveals he is not only a [...]

A couple of weeks ago I was sent this outstanding mix by Robin from OliDAB vs Robin and intothefray (check their blog here , though they're currently on a brief hiatus) - and can often be seen ripping up the free Shoreditch clubnight , called ' Superfilth ', at Catch and various acclaimed nights at Corsica Studios in Elephant & Castle. This eclectic mix [...]

Had the privilege of DJ´ing with one brother of The Martin Brothers the other day. Christian that was and damn that fella was spinning tighter than your sisters k-whole! Been following him and his brother Justin for a while now and they really are stepping up their game with new and innovative sounds with every release. No wonder why Claude The Great is such a big fan. Heres a solid proof of what I´m talking about.. Martin Brothers - Dum X´s from your Copenhagen dildo Dan M
So this might sound a bit bold but as far as I'm concerned, The Martin Brothers are hands down, without a doubt the most amazing thing in dance music right now. No other music out makes me want to funk out like the work created when Christian Martin and Justin Martin pair up. Warped and pitch bent 808 bass slip in and out of nervous and awkward melodies, simplistic jackin' beats and a unique blend of tongue-in-cheek P-Funk and Detroit melancholy have a profound effect on any dancefloor. The Martin [...]
pic: cobrasnake Everything Claude Von Stroke has touched this year seems to have turned to gold, and rightly so as he has somehow managed to find the perfect balance between a veritable car crash of influences and production values. Long before this month's Mixmag came along, 'The Whistler' was meandering its way through all the right dancefloors , and it seldom failed to raise joy and curiosity. Raising a curtain on the end of their breakthrough year, Claude has made way for the new birds on the block to work some magic. Much like [...]
