What started in 2011 as an underground club night in Southampton, UK called “No Logo” has taken the next big step this year and formally launched a label of the same name. The party itself has seen the likes of Ben UFO, Boddika, Oneman, South London Ordnance and many others so there is no doubt from us on this side of the pond that the label will have many talented…

George Fitzgerald had a proper good year in 2012 with big releases on Hypercolour and Aus Music, and his newest offering on Scuba’s Hotflush Recordings makes us certain that 2013 will be equally as big. The single, “Thinking Of You,” released on Monday is a cavernous, house-meets-techno, floor stomping monster. It’s quite a bit darker than his huge Aus release “Child” which as we all know was a feel good…

Nhan Solo was news to me but when I saw Mat.Joe on remix duty I had to check it out and i’m glad I did. Four cuts. Two them remixes. One by the aforementioned Mat.Joe, and the other by Death On The Balcony. “Big Tree” is a dub inspired call to the dancefloor. It’s subdued but will still get you grooving. The Mat.Joe remix takes things up a notch with…

Berlin’s OFF Recordings had a stellar year in 2012 and the new year is looking up as well. Miguel Puente serves up the label’s 44th release with the “Small Proposition” EP. The title track gets it’s name from the Nate Dogg sample used from his track “Gangsta Walk”. The track is aimed at serving this sample and it’s supported by a big thick bassline. “Lil Freakyness” is white hot centerpiece…

WOW. We have been quite absent on the web for the past two months. Mixture of us getting jobs (and losing them) Holidays, vacations, parties, and just plain apathy. However, with a new year comes new energy and we are committed to sharing with you all the music we think is dope. What a better way to kick off the new year than with a release from one of our…

“7 Mile Bridge” and “Take” are by far my favorites from the 4 track EP entitled Overseas Highway. To be honest I hadn’t heard of J. Alvarez before, so I had to do some research. After learning he used to be a electro/techno/ghetto-tech producer under the name Chris 214, the production style really makes sense. The tracks are all on the deep house tip, but show heavy influences of the…

Kim Ann Foxman’s newest release is a big one. Courtesy of Needwant, the release features two originals along with remixes from Populette and Steffi on “Return It”. I’m probably more of a fan of “Hypnotic Dance” than I am of “Return It”, but the remixes are going to be the most played for me. “Return It” is a really really good track, but Steffi and Populette absolutely turn it upside…

Delivery are Greg Shin and Alex Perliter of Los Angeles, and they’ve been making waves in the underground L.A. scene for a little while now. I went to uni at USC with these lads and I remember they used to DJ at house parties and create music under the moniker, MiCHAEL. Over the past couple of years they have been working on their new project, Delivery. Warehouse vibes and Acid…

The moment people have been waiting for all summer has arrived. Hot Natured (Jamie Jones & Lee Foss) teamed up with Ali Love earlier this year and made the STELLAR tune “Benediction,” which is finally out on Hot Creations for everyone to enjoy over and over again. Included in the package is a dub version, and instrumental, and an MK remix of “Forward Motion.” I first heard this track on…

Just a couple months after the success of his Round Pen EP on Crosstown Rebels, Burak Sar A.K.A. SIS has blessed our ears with another EP this time on Bouq. Two groovy originals and a pumpin’ remix courtesy of Butch make for a solid three tracks. “Foxy” is the title track and you guessed it, it samples Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady.” Thankfully it’s not cheesy and the overall mood is…

First off I’d like to apologize for our extremely lacklust performance on the blog as of late. Both Connor and I have been way in over our heads in our personal/work lives and the blog has suffered as a result. Gonna be doing our best to get back on the horse. With that said, let’s get into what i’ve got for ya today. Worthy’s banging Bay Area label, Anabatic Records…

Today we have some very beautiful house music from one of our favorites, Nicolas. A Brighter Day was release on the Quintessentials label. I’m loving each and every one of these tracks a lot right now. Great sample selection on every track with solid production work. The dub version of “On My Mind” might be my favorite of the bunch, but it’s hard to say since I can’t stop playing…

Black Light Smoke is a new name to me, but that’s just embarrassing on my part because this guy is unbelievably good. All of these tracks were released previously on Scissor and Thread about a year ago on vinyl, so apologies if these are old news to you. Now we get a compact, remastered, digital release, again, courtesy of the NYC label, Scissor and Thread. The tracks are all incredible….
