SUMMER SYNTH SMASH Undisputed disco-king Todd Terje tops his entirely ARP produced anthem Inspector Norse with this shamelessly camp, synth laden disco cut that will have you rollerskating around in leg warmers and cruising for pokey bum-sex. If you happen to be of a synth-geek persuasion check out Terjes' website Let's Nerd! where he questions famous producers about their production techniques and synthesiser tweakery. Fascintating stuff. If that's what you're into.
Details have surfaced of the world’s first Gesture Controlled DJ interface. Under a working title of " Movement" the collaboration between Pioneer and Native Instruments is already in the late stages of development and there is strong evidence to suggest that a head worn, gesture controlled interface system is already in advanced stages of beta testing. Utilising camera based movement detection and accelerometer technologies the device integrates directly with NI’s popular Traktor Pro DJ software and Pioneer's phenomenally successful range of DJ hardware.

CLASSIC 802S CLUB Any excuse. Any excuse at all to post Donna Allen's "Serious". If you happen to be unfamiliar with one of the greatest 80 dance tracks ever skip to 2:48 and treat your ears to THAT ridiculous vocal hook. Sampled by Strike in the 902s for U Sure Do those 2 bars of pop cheddar probably did more to corrupt the author than any other piece of music. The original can be found here. Or grab this neat re-edit from Fingerman for the princely sum [...]
The UK dance scene was reeling last night after chart topping duo “Disclosure” were exposed as frauds . Brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence stormed the UK charts last week with the debut dance album “Settle” but It has since emerged none of the songs were written by the Lawrence’s and that the young siblings are a façade engineered by their record label to sell 90’s music to a contemporary market. Exposed: Disclosure peparing for their deception Disclosure shot to fame tih with hits such as “Running” “Latch” and [...]
TECHNO HEAT Late night subsonic techno from Boddika forthcoming on Swamp81. Either Boddika has managed to corrupt the dubstep movement with electro and techno or dubstep has managed to find the kicks and snares it's been missing since its genesis. They were probably in a pub in Croydon.
TECH HOUSE RULER Midland started a record label called Graded and by jeepers if he's not tooting his own trumpet all over it. Graded's maiden release: Midland Not a bad signing. He must know someone that knows someone.
THE GHOST OF BREAKBEAT PAST Recently exhumed from the Evil Nine tomb - the duo's first ever track. Sent toFreeland's Marine Parade label on a tape, no less! Dusted off, hair brushed and a quick spray of Lynx deodrant and it's still sounding fresh.
TIP TIPPER More proof, should you need it, that God does not exist. Dave Tipper needs open heart surgery. Why did this not happen to David Guetta? At time of writing Dave's getting tanked up on entonox while surgeons are sharpening cleavers and preparing dive into his chest to repair his ticker. Flippant as this may sound its about as serious as it gets. Wouldn't you know it his insurance company won't fork out for the operation so he's having to pay for the procedure out his own pocket. Knowing how much [...]

ARETHA'S FUNK EDIT The gospel guilded lungs of Aretha Franklin get a faithful re-edit from Touchsoul. When I say "Faithful" I mean - didn't really do that much to the original .

ORIGINAL ELECTRO BOOGIE Superb chunk of original electro-boogie from Glasgow's Mirrors.

JULIO BASHED LESS The darling bass track of the hair-gelled student masses get's a laid back work over by Jamie Hartley and features a few more plinks, lots more plonks and a bit more of the original vocal from You To Me Are Everything. First recorded in 1976 by Northern soul outfit The Real Thing "You To Me Are Everything" was subsequently covered by 902s UK pop disaster Sonia who failed because she's massively ginger.
MONSTER BREAKS AND BASS Just so happened to catch young upstart Real Connoisseur DJing in a dirty basment nightclub this weekend. The 19 old Oxfordian successfully took the place to pieces and then kindly handed me a copy of his forthcoming release "Jungle Jakarta" due to drop some time in June. ( I think that's what he said .I couldn't see very well by that point) A thunderous rolling cut fusing electro sensibilities with crack-smoking warehouse jungle breaks. Watch out for this one.
