Riton's alias Eine Kleine Nacht Musik is more hip than your father's hipflask that's locked away in storage. Clearly the best track from the self titled album (released earlier this year), "Feurprobe" finally has been given the single treatment and is out now on Beatport for everyone to love and adore. Rory Phillips ( Erol Alkan's right-hand man at Erol's/London's now dead nightclub Trash ) gives the track a nice touch aswell, but Riton's 'touch' (re-rub) also packs some heat. MP3: Eine Kleine Nacht [...]

Ed Banger's Mickey Moonlight 'Interplanetary Music' Thumbing through all of my fathers old jazz records gives me a warm feeling of bliss and on one such occasion I found Impulse records artist Sun Ra. His avant garde or free jazz as Ornette Coleman put it was my gateway into to sixties jazz when all I wanted to hear at that time was be bop and hard bop. Released in 1959 'Interplanetary Music' had the most sublime drumming and hornwork of the 50's and was a perfect finish to what Charlie Parker(Bird) and Miles Davis [...]

Viens l'ami, tu sens cette bonne odeur de bons sons qui traverse ton écran ? Ouè hein ! Allez check moi ça coco ! On commence par ma petite tuerie du moment, il tourne tout le temps dans le player et ce n'est autre que le nouveau remix de Congorock . Il remix ici un titre de Favretto "What's Your Name ?". C'est une petite bombe et qui à mon avis sur le dancefloor devrait faire très très mal. Profitez. Favretto - What's Your Name ? (Congorock Radio Edit Remix) [...]

Here we march toward the end of September. Let these remixes be the drumbeat that guides you. Once again the BOTR series is comprised of the best remixes I heard this month. Yes I have a lot of free time. Yes I listen to a lot of music. No I don't have time to listen to every single track that was online during the past thirty days. In my opinion, these thirteen tracks are the best of what I heard. Enjoy the music, tell your friends, and if you want to see all the previous volumes in the Best of [...]

Eine Kleine Nacht Musik , or 'a little night music' as it would be translated, is UK Deejay Riton's latest side project and if your even slightly into any form of krautrock electronica ( Kraftwerk , Neu! etc) then you'll really dig this. The album definitely takes a huge cue from the German sounds of the past, but puts a fresh spin on all, and must have taken someones liking as Modular have even stepped up to release it. Good to see theyre starting to give the label a more varied sound. [...]

INSTITUBES: An absolutely great french label (of which there are many), serious releases from names like Bobmo, Surkin, Para One, Tacteel, Das Glow, and so on and so forth.

I found an old book of computer jokes from like mid-90s, here is one: Q: Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586? A: Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and got 585.999983605. And the rest of these are just as good. Got some great remixes for you today. First up is the first solid remix i have heard from the new Ratatat tracks. It is a Copy remix and its hot. Secondly, DFA's best new sign in recent memmory, Hercules & Love Affair got remixed by Riton. [...]

For whatever reason, I have always found music that scares me the most appealing and enjoyable. When I was 7, the first cassette I ever picked out for myself was "No Diggity" by Blackstreet . The song made me nervous, mostly because it wasn't a compilation of Disney Hits or a Peter, Paul and Mary tape. But no matter how uncomfortable it made me, I continued to listen to the tape, which only had that one song on it, until I knew all the words backwards and forwards. Although my music taste has expanded much further than [...]
Yeah, I don't even know what that title means, I was just feelin' it; don't hate. Anyway, XLR8R did a really cool interview with Andy Butler of Hercules & Love Affair . Andy talks about how he went from being a bedroom disco-house who started off DJing at gay bars in Denver to his current position; ruler of the indie world. I'm not the biggest Hercules fan, but it's always cool to see how people got their come-up. Check the full-res version of this thing here . Hercules & [...]

A new Krautrock inspired project has come from an unlikely source in the form of Newcastle born Henry Smithson, aka Riton (pronounced Ree-ton). Riton now resides in London and is part of Gucci Soundsystem with Ben Rymer. Known for his Electro House stylings on such labels as Grand Central and Get Physical this project is a departure from that style with the very Krautrock inspired opening track 'Ertrinken' however normal service is resumed with the second track 'Feverprobe' with ultilising fat analogue synths with live drums for a [...]

I really cannot extol the virtues of Henry Smithson, AKA Riton enough on these pages. Much like the classic acid masters of old, he always manages to keep his music visceral without ever becoming mindless. For someone who has been around for seven years, which in dance music terms is a long time, he has managed to create a sound that is uniquely his and stick with it, no matter what the market conditions may be. Despite the fact that he's never fully fit in with any dominant trends in dance music, his profile has only gotten higher [...]
Rondo Veneziano's La Serenissima" has made quite an impression on the electronic music community within the past year. Justice dropped this track in their famous Xmas Mix, Daft Punk featured this track as one of their favorite dance tracks, and The Bloody Beetroots tapped into their Italian roots with their own cover, "We Are from Venice". Now Eine Kleine Nacht Musik aka Riton has tapped into this amazing track with his own rendition, adding a few Kraut elements to it. I definitely feel this version more than the Bloody Beetroots one (Sorry Bob!). But of course [...]

Mickey Moonlight = new Ed Banger signee. Mickey Moonlight - Interplanetary Music ( Riton Remix) (mp3)

Here we have a tight little mix from Mismatch - AKA Andy Toone - a new DJ who's only just started playing live DJ sets, with little more than a pair of battered old decks, impecabble music taste and a musical ear. And he's taken to it like a duck to water. He's a friend of mine from Leicester, but has been DJing in Bristol, with a residency at both Oyo's Night and Yam Yam's. I ought to point out; I tend to only post mixes by friends, unless there are remixes or original material from sent by [...]
