Accompanied by the skies carrying through the noises of a heavy and intense breeze, through to the sound of little children playing in the distance and the resonance of lawnmowers and helicopters buzzing around in the atmosphere.. the signs and the aromas of summer are all but here already ... But in the few cases where the heat can sometimes makes people lose their temperament & emotions.. it can always be summed up by the weird, the unique and down-right anger management unmanageable. Let's hope that these five audio ice creams from !K7 can cool those [...]
Amsterdam Open Air Festival was a huge success last year, so it's only natural that AIR and MTV go for a victory lap and do it all again on Whitsun weekend this year. While last year's Open Air was a one day event, this year's is set to be a two day party, featuring a wide array of excellent artists. Each stage will be hosted by a different event organizer, including Format, GirlsLoveDJs, Apenkooi, and Carnivale for the four main stages. Apenkooi will feature a roster of great electro acts, including Dr. Lektroluv, The Subs, Motor [...]
Midland is back on AUS with the much-anticipated 'Placement EP'. After gaining a big following with his amazing'Through Motion' EP in 2011 the now London-based producer returns with four tracks that continue to blur boundaries between techno, house, garage and more. Midland's productions always pay attention to little intricate details and textures and that is very true here with the new tracks. The 'Placement' EP is currently being remixed by Motor City Drum Ensemble & Lone which will be released as a 123 single on Aus in April. For now though you can expect the 4 originals to be [...]
Savile Live @ Smartbar - 01.20.12 Chicago-bred forward thinker and inaugural rebel podcast inductee , Gianpaolo 'Savile' Dieli, has supplied us with a conceptual supply of quality music since the dawn rebel itself. Now, for all those on the west coast who couldn't make it to Smartbar (Chicago) this past weekend for MCDE & Savile , you're in luck. You can listen to Dieli's recorded set right now. The just-over-an-hour-long mix spans a timeline of classic cut Chicago House through an (unfortunately) nameless tracklisting.
Once again it's time for our summary of the best music that has been around us during 2011. As always, it's a tricky game to play, some tracks are obvious on the list and some had to be outside the list because there are only 25 tracks listed. But this year we will solve this small dilemma by also giving you a Best Of list in Spotify in a couple of days. But the list below is the real deal, that summarizes my year in music. See you in 2012 again, Happy New Year! #25. Oxford [...]
Next up, the mighty jackin' house producer Dj Kool Dek!
To end the second day of the Trans Musicales, we met up with German DJ/remixer Motor City Drum Ensemble who told to us about the importance of 60's and 70's groove in his music. Those sounds from 40 years ago and playing with analog equipment make up the essence of his style. Thanks to MCDE who blew us away with an awesome DJ set.
A peine quelques mois après un premier album, Sunshadows , The Echocentrics reviennent avec Echoland , un EP hommage à Timbaland . Adrian Quesada (l'homme qui se cache derrière les projets Ocote Soul Sounds, Grupo Fantasma et Brownout ) a pioché dans la myriade de beats de l'incontournable et prolifique producteur US pour nous offrir ces enthousiasmantes reprises acoustiques raw funk aux accents latins si chers à l'homme orchestre d'Austin. Une démarche qui si elle n'est pas nouvelle [...]
Any Delusions of Grandeur junkie will bitch slap me for leaving this one so late. I haven't been trawling for records lately in hope of saving some money for Christmas, and somehow I still haven't saved anything. Danilo Plessow, aka Motor City Drum Ensemble, teams up with We Play House regulars FCL (Red D & San Soda) to deliver the twenty second installment of DoG. MCDE is nowhere to be found on this record however, due to his new alias VFB. (Still yet to discover what it stands for) He delivers a [...]

Paradis - Parfait Tirage By Stef Siepel The weekly froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer's fancy. Track of the Week: 'Parfait Tirage' by Paradis A new band from France, being introduced in Beats in Space by I think Tim Sweeney actually. [...]

The prospect of Motor City Drum Ensemble doing the dirty on Shit Robot is pretty mouthwatering in itself... it does not disappoint! Little tip first though... make sure you're listening on good headphones as laptop speakers can't handle it. Had the pleasure of being in the raving mass for MCDE on the beach stage at Garden Festival this past summer... absolutely amazing set! Anyways... rave on! Shit Robot - Answering Machine (M.C.D.E. Remix) by DFA Records
Why Moby never sampled this track will always remain a mystery. Sun Ra's "Door to the Cosmos", the centerpiece of his 1979 album Sleeping Beauty , provides that perfect entry point to Motor City Drum Ensemble's DJ Kicks mix, an effortless blend of jazz, soul, afro-beat and various shades of Danilo Plessow's signature deep house. The track, with its soulful gospel intro and the rest of its casual free-jazz, sounds like one of Sun Ra's more laid back efforts even whilst remaining entrancing as ever. That too mirrors the mix as a whole which works [...]
