OK, I've been a bit slack with the blog posts for the last week or so. I'm putting this down to the fact that I've just moved house and don't have a proper Internet connection. I can wait no longer though, so this post is coming courtesy of the office time. Who am I kidding, that's no different than usual. Anyway, these are just three tracks that stuck out from last week for one reason or another. It was a pretty random set, and a fairly random night overall. I honestly looked back over my set the next [...]

No matter how cheesy this may sound, nobody can deny that Bloodhound Gang 's The Bad Touch still manages to fill the dancefloors - it is sad, I know... Anyway, if you are a DJ who's fed up with the original but still want to please the crowds, give Prime 's dubstep remix a spin and you won't be disappointed. For more wobble, check out DJ Philistine 's take on Like a G6 , but if it's drum & bass you are after, Netsky delivers a massive remix of Shameboy 's [...]

Captain Obvious - Ravril (What the SL2) [mp3] Avril Lavigne – What the Hell SL2 – On a Ragga Tip [audio:] Captain Obvious took Avril to rave, cos it was obvious

Twenty years passed from the beginning of that underground phenomenon till today. Rave music, the movement of many generations and the advent of the great Techno Music still makes our heart beat and move our body . Early 90's, techno has a distinct sound from other techno.It's energy, lot of sampling and mixes, breakbeats with hardbeats... It's unlike Detroit Techno, Happy Hardcore, or the newer breed of techno from Chrystal Method, Chemical Brothers or others (that we all like). Rave years were the Golden Age of the techno music. To make it [...]

Image from Sexy People . I've been listening to loads of tunes from electronic beatmakers; the likes of Zomby, Samiyam, Flying Lotus, Joker, Take and other headswirling instrumental music. It's represented here. Pay special attention to 2000F's robotic g-funk anthem. It'll stick to the inside of your brain. Worth noting is that The Long Lost is Daedelus and his wife Laura Darlington and they've an album dropping soon. Also, frantic nostalgic buzz at the end 2000F - You Don't Know What Love is [...]

I admit it: I've been waiting for this one. Early-'90s rave, the goony stuff with the air-raid sirens, dithering bass drops, beats that alternately stomped or skittered with what then seemed like too much hurry, and today sounds almost quaint—this was some of the first music I ever felt a sense of ownership over, like it was mine before anyone's. The apex of this epoch was breakbeat hardcore—or, as Simon Reynolds terms it, 'ardkore: the stuff that would soon mutate into jungle and/or stick to its euphoric, glow-in-the-dark guns, adopt more of a four-on-the-floor stomp and become happy hardcore. The [...]

It seems pretty stupid, given that I wasn't too young to be part of it, that I missed out on a lot of dance culture. Silly me. In fact, I probably, like many indie kids, (and I mean that in the pre-Britpop sense of the phrase) was guilty of being snobby because it didn't have guitars in it. Oh, and because I really can't dance. The mad sweaty guy headbanging at the indie disco? That was your host. Working in a record shop changed a lot for me about what I listened to, and whilst an interest in 'dance/electronica' type [...]

Summer is in full swing and the soundtrack has arrived fashionably late courtesy of Los Angeles- based BREAKDOWN. Already known as dancefloor- devistating DJs, and gaining ground as an ace production team with 6 releases since the start of 2008 on labels such as Promo, DUG, and InStereo, this trio is making serious noise out in clubland. The mix captures the essence of a live Breakdown performance - a high energy ride featuring new remixes of old favorites and red-hot artists from the bleeding edge of tomorrow. With bits and pieces of over 30 tracks in about an [...]

breakdown are a dj and producers collective from california consisting of reid speed and the brothers josh david and matt david . in 2005 they started throwing the 'breakdown' parties together and over the years they have focused more and more on production which was a pretty good decision as they hooked me up with a lot of material and every single track is just so slamming that i just have to post them all. breakdown already received big support for their tracks from the likes of z-trip , twocker [...]

Eerder dit jaar sloeg een oldschoolmix van Unyx al in als een bom, en nu blijkt ook het legendarische acidcollectief 030303 zoiets in huis te hebben. De SL2 030303 Rave Mix is oldschool die je liefdevol doet terugverlangen naar housebroeken, mdma, Houseparty- en Move the House-feesten, Rave Radio, smileys en cassettebandjes. Bonuspunten voor wie de playlist kan compileren! - SL2 030303 RAVE MIX !!!! (.mp3)
