Fri 15 Aug – Futureboogie

Bristol based promoter/agency/collective has made it to London for a night of disco rumbling, and you know that when it come to those big punchy basssline there is really nowhere like the Cargo.

First in a double heavy weight line up were Crazy P , another moniker to multi-toned, Nottingham based Crazy Penis. Their line up was a mix of pa and DJ with the highlight of the show was an amazing acid disco meltdown with Danielle Moore working out the mic, jumping on the decks and keeping the vibe up.The Penis seemed to have…

SCI FI LO FI - Compiled by Damian Lazarus - SOMA - DARLING PR

Damian has been a long running underground DJ and involved in record labels, first co running City Rockers and then in conducting Crosstown rebels. As one of the leading characters in the London scene, his sound is constantly evolving.That said, in the last few years he has really taken on the minimal sound, in its purest manner, some might say.
I had little expectations that i would click with his latest mix for Soma, having drifted away from clicks and clacks but i am…

Love box Weekender review/Nitzan Hermon/www.nitzan.co.uk

Love box, oh dear old love box.

After the great time I had last year, when cosmos, beer and disco all aligned in the Greg Wilson set in the Rizzla stage, I was really curios to one would turn out to be.

The weatherman was apprehensive and the possibility was a wet day was over our head but nonetheless we decided to keep the spirits high and headed out east.

As we were heading down to the park the excitement was building up, excitement that had to be paused for some long queues, queues that…

Everyone’s favorite Nordic DJ, Thomas Moen Hermansen aka Prins Thomas, is back with a rudely named double cd, encompassing the very best of solar groove and disko melodika.

There seem to be a strong yet overlooked, connection between New York and Scandinavia when it comes to that obscure cosmic disco sound and Thomas has capsulated that nicely, really melting down that sound, with a variety of angles.
Sandoz, by Blackbelt Andersen, the opening of the second cd, is a high point as well as Thomas’s edit to Takras by Jarle…

VA - Disco Italia
Strut Records

(taken from a review i did for clash)

Cool has slowed down to 110 BPM. Forget about those grabby Parisians, big resonating bass, that is for the kids, the new disco sound is on the rise, for a house movement promised too many times that minimal has finished.
K7's recently introduced, Strut records, is serving a new compilation, ‘Disco Italia’ - a celebration of everything Italo.
Back in the 80’s italo was the underground, it was practically unknown to the mainstream crowd, and in those non internet times, obscurity was the name of…

I was pleasantly surprised to find a classic in my promo list.

Air - Moon safari.

such a superb album, so much fun to fall in love with it again, and realize that good albums are so hard to find.

here is a little review i wrote for clash - this is really a superb album

——–

All These Things is a magical journey through the deeper regions of house music, ambience and the fine line between those.

Kuniyuki Takahashi is a producer and sound engineer Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan and has produced music since 1994, partly under the Koss , Frr Hive and Forth monikers.

This album is a unique one, partly due to the great merging of genres, deep house,electronica and Jazz, but also because of the fact that unlike other deep house productions where lot of the sounds…

A new interview of Lee Holman

Sat 19 Jan – DJ Krush, The Herbaliser, DJ Vadim, The Shadow Orchestra, Memory9

A night of high expectations, Krush , the all might Japanese beat assassin, along side the Russian Maverick, Vadim and UK innovators, Herbaliser.

The night proved to be a great success from the firs minute, the sound was phat, the MC was rhyming and the groove was building.

Shadow orchestra were an amazing opening, humble, not fussy but utterly promising, far more then a group of harp, cello and a powerbook night sound. Definitely ones to look out for.

Next on was Memory 9, quite an…
