I started out this DJ thang with playing drum & bass vinyls. People told me I should learn to mix house first, before moving on to more demanding drum & bass. I shot back by playing it for a year, before moving on to Acid House and later, Detroit. In those days, the golden 90´s and the early 00´s, Goldie was in the same status leauge as Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, Sasha and Sven Väth. Combined. His imprint, Metalheadz gave rise to as many tattoos as Richie Hawtins Plastikman dito. [...]

Martin Brodin - Don't Stop the Dance (2013) Malmö based Martin Brodin returns with a stunning modern disco remake of Bryan Ferry's classic. Everything in this version sounds superfresh, the bacing vocals, the electric guitar, the police syrens and Mikael Surdi's vocal interoperation of Bryan. The video brings together some scenes from the classic American Documentary Paris is Burning (1990) that explored New York 's gay balls, dance music scene, gender, race and class issues of mid-80s.

I immediately feel the neo-nostalgia of a big city dweller looking at the cover art. One can almost hear Nick's mesmerizing synths fade in and breath freely over the [...]
