Track of the day #21

Once again, northern England provides us with some of the finest bass music. Emerging from the as of yet underground collective Squelchandclap, Kidnap Kid recently digitally released his first EP which includes thois little nugget :

Just too bad it’s not out on wax… yet!
Check out his label mates as well : Tete De Tigre, B- Ju, CDBL, Arcade
Great swinging stuff as well!

Track of the day #20

File under Deep house, Hannes Netzell‘s Under Bron (“under the bridge”) was just released on Stockholm based Junk Yard Connections. It’s a super lush deep affair of the highest order with eerie late summerish female voice echoes. I hope to hear more from this guy as he evidently displays a accute ear for balanced dance choons.
Don’t sleep on it as it’s super limited.

Cheers,
Bertrand Delanowave

Helter Skelter on F***book !

Still not sure Facebook is a good thing for the sake of humanity, it’s still undoubtedly the place to show up and off for the next couples of years (or just at least until some new big-trendy-social-place-to-be leaves it as dire as MySpace today.
Whatever you and us may think about it, this is not a place we could just stay away from, so here we are today and that page will be updated as frequently as this blog.
So send your friends requests, you ‘likes’, comments, join the buzz, and let’s try and reach a modest hundred million friends, here we are !

Like it !

Track of the day #19

Abstraxion is a confirmed french techno producer who seems to fare in London. I must confess that he’s so far remained under our radar, but his new EP for Play It Again Sam‘s Different electronic offshoot caught us by surprise : We’ve always had mixed feelings about In Flagranti, but here on remix duty for “Jus Acid”, they nail it.

Just a nice little track for late night late summer clubs.
Cheers,
