Enjoy!

Warehouse.

Erol, Simian Mobile Disco, Surkin, Digitalism, Metro Area, and Yuksek all played at the Warehouse Project last Sunday and I was there to watch.

Highlights of the night included, but were not limited to...

-Surkin playing the Laidback Luke remix of White Knight Two

-Yuksek playing his remix of Ugodzilla

-Simian opening with Animal Collective - My Girls

-Surkin and Yukseks' silhouetted hairstyles

-Jupiter Room's lovely tech-house

-Erol opening with new Boys Noize and ending with Bathroom Gurgle

-Digitalism being the most physically mis-matched DJ pair around

The new Boys Noize is pretty cool. Enjoy the vocoding lyrics, but it may get old. Worked well as an opener.

The Animal Collective track, surprisingly, was a beautiful, very atmospheric opener and sounded balearic on the underground car-park's soundsystem. Simian's mixing and track selection throughout was brilliant.

Also, kudos to my good friend, who goes by the name of Delcourt, who will be periodically updating this blog with his own, invasive take on music. He'll be dealing with things more tech-y and what not. Ciao.

DJ T.

Thomas Koch ... a bit of an institution; with releases on Poker Flat, Get Physical and it's sister label Kindisch (one of my favourite labels at the moment) he seems to me to be going from strength to strength. Oh and did I mention he co-founded Get Physical?!

His tracks merge between tech-house and minimal and have an understated charm, but still manage to get stuck in your head.

The first track I came across a while ago was his collaboration with Thomas Schumacher on the Get Physical compilation GPM100. "May Contain Nuts" is so very simple....it needed a few listens before I got it. It's perfect mid-set material to bounce to! 

His latest release on Kindisch, "Booty Call", is a slow-rising track with a drop that sounds just like something from my old Master System. The Daniel Melhart remix is noteworthy as it brings a bit more life into the tune, utilising the synth breakdown from the start. I would highly recommend purchasing this ep. 

His new release on Poker Flat, "After Dark" is also a stormer. Personally I prefer the b-side...a bit more club-friendly....go and buy it!

Here's the original mix of Booty Call in glorious 320 kbps....play it loud.

Dusty Kid

Sorry i've been away for a bit. Had an interview for a journalism course/loads of work etc... I got the course though which i'm pretty chuffed about. Anyway...Dusty Kid.






I just got hold of his new album A Raver's Diary. It's glorious techno gold. Really enjoy it. Dusty Kid made it big with his track The Cat. I can't believe there is anyone out there who hasn't heard that infectious track. If you heard that track you may be surprised by Dusty Kid's other stuff which is much darker tech-house. Not as many acid licks as you'd think, considering The Cat and The Riot.



These two tracks are similar in their pounding base- something that he's good at, but not neccessarily what he's best at. Lynchesque is the first single off the new album, whereas the Moby remix is an oldie. Absolutely belting, you have to love the slightly spooky vocals as well - "How could you lie?"

Moby - Disco Lies (Dusty Kid's The Fear Remix)

Dusty Kid is playing at Wax:on's new sister project, Magicbag, in Leeds on 6th June. Post-exam fun...i think so. Oh, and go buy the album - out in a week or so.
