It's been a hefty slice of time since I first considered making a post about the music of 19-year old Adam McClusky - - better known within the electronic music scene as DJ Big Blocks . Focusing mainly on women, electro, and electro-house vibes that roar in the club, Big Blocks also loves producing bass-heavy dubstep which he has been spending more of his time working on recently. You can check out some of this new grease on his Soundcloud page . I really feel his tune BWA , the title-track off his debut release on the [...]

LUCY LO sent a couple of remixes our way after finding one of her latest tunes found its way onto the last post from YYZ RECORDS . I'm glad she found us because I'm always looking for sultry tech house. Who isn't right? The first, I'd say is a bit more techno than house capturing tribal rhythms from digital ancestors. The second track LL gives the remix treatment to fellow Canadians BORRACHO . It's another tribal gathering although I'd venture to say it goes a [...]
One of my favourite labels last year was a relatively new imprint. YYZ RECORDS out of Toronto sent some brilliant material our way. This year's no different. Case in point, here's their latest - a single from JEREMY GLENN inspired by 80s R&B shimmer and gloss. I'm especially fond of the remixes from the package. Here's the rundown in point form: DVAS takes their interpretation back another decade to a disco playground. [...]
Jeremy Glenn' s beacon has moved closer and closer to the center of my radar over the last few months. Mysterious Lover is his latest single slated for release on May 18th on YYZ Records. With 4 remixes of the deep catchy original, the title track is bound to cross boundaries. I can't put my finger on it, but the bassline at the beginning reminds me of a an old tune. It is driving me insane, but I must call it quits on my search for the name of this tune and get on with the post hoping [...]

It's December, it's cold in Toronto, but no snow yet.. kind of strange.. Even worse yet, I haven't given out a track in over two fucking weeks. I blame Santa, when's the last time you heard of anyone givin him a hard time for giving everything away for free, fat red nosed fuck. Well I got something for Rudolf, two homegrown mixtapes. The first from Lucy'lo, but you can call him Jay'lo... and the next, fresh off the shelf from Fluke. Tell me I haven't posted in a while and I tell you to go request yourself. THIS [...]

Marshall Jefferson is widely regarded as one of the original innovators of Chicago House. He was also very influential on deeper house and his track "mushrooms" was certainly regarded as a journey through the deeper end of this spectrum. I came across Justin Martin 's remix of mushrooms on Julio Bashmore's mix (which was posted on this site) and I haven't been able to stop listening....do yourself a favor and vibe to this one Marshall Jefferson - Mushrooms (Justin Martin Mix) || zshare || [...]

So I'm going to start a new thing where every saturday before the radio show I post a whole bunch of tracks that we didn't get around to posting this week. We get so much new music coming in that we can't really keep up with it all. But I think this way we'll be able to give more tracks the exposure they deserve, not forget so much stuff, and not fall so far behind on our posting. Still, my apologies for the miscellaneous mish-mash post. Give some a listen! I'm goin alphabetical by [...]
