Contrast Playlist: 19/01/11 – Piano Power

Jan 31, 2011, 7:03pm Gigantic

So, I was playing in the Ballroom of Lavery's on Saturday night. I've DJ'd in the room a few times before, and have always tended to stick to the safer end of the musical spectrum, playing a broad mix of genres and styles and trying to keep it edgy and accessible at the same time. This week I decided to try something different. The club has been selling out every week for a good while now, which means that there is always a full room. I figured that rather than playing an eclectic mix of styles, [...]

ESSENTIAL DANCE ANTHEMS 05 / 04

Apr 4, 2009, 3:05am Acid Ted

Getting closer to the top spot on NME's countdown. A genuine classic in Rhythim is Rhythim and a key figure in DnB with Goldie. 05. Rhythim is Rhythim - Strings of Life (1987) NME says "When he wasn't inventing house music, Frankie Knuckles was buying his first drum machine from the man who helped invent techno. That man - Derrick May - took his inexpert knowledge and sprayed it at random ovef 'Strings of Life'. Way too weird to be a hit in any other era, that stabby synth line didn't seem [...]

Welcome Obama

Nov 5, 2008, 1:00pm Free your mind and your ass will follow

Je ne me fais pas d'illusion : vous savez tous que Barack Obama est devenu cette nuit Président des États-Unis : les médias français nous mitraillent avec leur « premier président noir élu » (comme si l'Afrique n'élisait que des Présidents blancs ...). Pour moi, Barack Obama est surtout le premier Président a avoir probablement dansé sur de la musique électronique. Pour rappel : il a 47 ans aujourd'hui, et vient de Chicago. Elu du South Side, quartier ghetto noir par [...]

Life's What You Make It

Oct 11, 2008, 10:04am Versions Galore

Wow, it seems like only yesterday when I was bitching about how there's barely any electronica covers and then faster than you can say 'TR-909' we got two covers of Detroit techno anthem Strings of Life by Rythim Is Rythim (aka Derrick May ). The ever percussive Christian Prommer (of Fauna Flash and Truby Trio fame) turns his Strings into a very Blue Note affair with his Christian Prommer's Drumlesson project, [...]
