12" Single, released in 1984 Feargal Sharkey - Listen To Your Father (Extended Mix) Someone asked if I had this one ages ago, but I didn't have it. Then, recently, I was visiting Notting Hill in London for the first time in about 17 years and I found it in the bargain basement at Music and Video Exchange. Appropriately enough, I bought it on Father's Day.
The MidPoint music festival might feel a long ways away. Well, because it sorta is. But it's time for bands that want to play the fest this year to start getting their submissions ready. It's the 10th anniversary of MPMF , so I'm sure it's gonna be a big year and musicians interested in performing will be able to submit a request for showcase consideration starting this Friday, Feb. 25th when MidPoint's early submission windows open via Sonic Bids. The submission process continues through May 16. The festival is taking place September 22-24 [...]

Ya tenemos un año de vida!!, la verdad es que todo ha sido muy rápido y emocionante, lo que nació siendo un proyecto entre amigos para compartir música, se esta convirtiendo en algo estable y cada vez más grande. Los que nos seguís desde el principio habéis visto como la web cambiaba más de tres veces de diseño, como se han ido incorporando colaboradores nuevos y como el numero de post ha ido subiendo de una manera, muchas veces "anormal". Todo esto ha sido posible gracias sobre todo a vosotros. Y esta fiesta os la dedicamos a todos. [...]

La liga de los estándares dorados En una liga dorada. Mushroom Pillow parece que ha sabido sacar partido del éxito de Delorean around the world, y ahora tiran pa'lante con los Standard. "The Golden League" es un recopilatorio de remixes para el grupo español a cargo de nombracos para quedarse ojiplático, compadre... de Anoraak a CFCF pasando por in Flagranti o el mismísimo Arthur Baker ! Vamos, que David E. Sugar o Cazals , pueden pasar desapercibidos (aunque puede que sean los remixes más [...]

We could not be more excited to announce this show!!! Backseat has been around for over three years now and one of the best things about running the site has been meeting amazing people. Owen Ashworth is one of those people. He started using the moniker " Casiotone for the Painfully Alone " back in 1997 and five albums, countless EPs and 73s, and years of relentless touring later, he's decided to retire the moniker (and the songs) and move on to new things. Before he does though, he is heading out on one final tour [...]

Alpargata compilation Uno de los sellos favoritos de Neonized vuelve una semana más a regalar bailes de bien. Sweat it Out publica "The Dopeness", una pequeña reco con varios temas de los que han ido recibiendo en los últimos tiempos. Temas que quizás no dan para single, pero que por cojones tenían que estar en SIO. Yo sigo encantado con ellos, con sus artworks y la facilidad que tienen para alegrar mañanas. "The Dopeness" además tiene cierto encanto para los neonizeds. Sidechains y su "Dr Funk" es una de las [...]

Putting up with weird/average/annoying/crappy requests is part and parcel of being a DJ. But as any DJ will tell you, occasionally being told what to do just all gets a bit too much - DJs have feelings too, after all. Kid Capri is a good example. The legendary party rocker reached the end of his tether with one particular punter recently; but instead of dismissing the requestor with the flick of a hand, or smiling politely and grumbling about them when they left the booth, our man KC decided to play the name and shame game. [...]
Our fine friends of Buffetlibre have another massive project on the go. Before they have had huge and splendid projects like " Rewind " (80s cover project) and " Batidora " (remix project).

It was supposed to be released already by March 1, but due to to bureaucratic paperwork and legal authorizations the project will be fully released April 12 instead. But these who waits for something good... There are more than 15o artists from over 50 countries into the [...]

Following track by The Requesters from Barcelona got it anything a dancefloor needs: a rousing beat, great feelings, strobe, huge black curtains, dancing bartenders, ruff bouncers, cheap drinks, a jolly pack, plus the keen melody is a big strike to conquer some clubs through the speakers.
