El Michels Affair

November 27, 2014

I feel like I’m caught in a Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels loop. Ever since I put on El Michels Affair. They produce supertight and laidback funk/soul, with…

Max Graef – Rivers of the red planet

April 23, 2014

Max Graef produces a unique kind of beat – simultaneously playful and shuffly yet deeply, seriously, grooving. And he is only around 22 years old, which sort of makes me think…

Albums: BoC & Omar

J-Beats: DJ Mitsu & OYG

May 8, 2013

Almost the weekend, although it’s only Wednesday. Magic made possible by the catholic church (as well as using redheads for firewood). But I digress. While akira fukuhara (the…

Pursuit Grooves – Fox Trot Mannerisms [TECCD008]

May 6, 2010

Tectonic is one of the pioneer dubstep/dubtech labels, its roster including the infamous Skream, Pinch, Joker, Peverelist and (one of my favorites) the dub-technoid 2562. Something that always fascinated…
