My Existential Zebra





I took this picture in a safari park in Sweden over the summer when I visited my girlfriend's family in Norkoping I believe A couple of hours north of Stockholm. He looked really sad, I have a little joke with a friend about him that goes something like this:
The Zebra is aware he is a Zebra. He is aware of his somewhat ridiculous attire, especially for the Swedish countryside he is surrounded by. He wishes he was normal. He wishes he was a horse.

Party tonight

Its my lovely friend Sophie's party tonight I will hopefully play a few tracks if I can learn how to use one of these, and Traktor

Tunes for when the weather is Crisp, Cold but Sunny



It's my favorite time of year (to be in London) The weather is good, the sun is out and the air is crisp, almost fresh.
I've got a couple of tunes to go with this beautiful time of year, nice uplifting tracks more house than the stuff I've posted before. Still bigging up the gents over at Buzzin Fly:

October Mix Is Here!


After a few weeks of tweaking and lots of technical problems, experimenting with this and that... Here is my new mix, there was a problem about 2/3rds of the way through some plugin I was using decided to mute the right channel, I've made it mono (instead of the normal stereo) to combat this problem but I apologize for th brief volume dip!
Enjoy!



If I wasn't busy

I would be at the release of 2562s new album at Corsica Studios, Elephant tonight if I wasn't busy. A friend told me who the album art is by, an amazing VJ artist called vector Meldrew. Check him out.



Todays Tracks


Hello.
Today I've got some more crackers for you, no post yesterday because I was working at the UAL freshers fair on brick lane, getting the contact details of the "fresh meat" for Nokia.
Got another glitchy beat from Dorian concept who I've already blogged yo y'all. And Also A fresh name in the glitchy form of Harmonic 313. Also one of my  favorite tracks of this year by Down-tempo demons Lukid.

Dorian Concept - Trilingual Dance Sexperience

Following will be a mixture of sounds, as usual probably all electronic but some dub and a lot of tech-house. Enjoy!

Deadbeat call themselves Dub/Techno/Experimental, there sounds are progressive and have a solid beat but are a bit more abstract and ambient sounding than straight dubstep.


To Celebrate the forthcoming release of Claude Vonstroke's new EP "Bird Brain" (19th October) On his very own label DirtyBird Records, I've got a few tracks from the label for you.
Firstly a nice bouncy house rhythm from Justin Martin:
Secondly the Track that I think made Claude.
Then A track purely for comic value by claude vonstroke called "chimps" 





Many of you will probably know Jesse Rose, he has a successful album out and his most known track "Touch My Horn" was and probably still is played often in all the big clubs, along with a disgusting Crookers remix. I originally liked his sound, until I heard the original version of his most famous track by a Balkan horn band called "13Markovic" on a CD called Balkan Beats.
I've got the original and the Jesse Rose version (not credited as a remix or re-work) for you to hear, check them out:


Every time I post I will try and put something that I know most people will like, granted house, techno or electronic music in general might not be your thing. This weeks tracks for everyone come from Stimming out of Hamburg who some of you might know. 

Stimming is on a couple of labels, DIYnamic and Buzzin' Fly records, who sometimes put on nights at Plastic People. There website is pretty cool. Launched in 2003, by Ben Watt Buzzin' Fly Records is recognised as a leading-edge imprint in the world of deep House and Techno, fostering the careers of young producer-DJs such as Justin Martin (tracks above). Buzzin Fly won Best Breakthrough Label, House Music Awards, 2004 and Best British Label Runner-Up DJ Magazine Awards, 2007 & 2008.


These tracks from Stimming are guaranteed to impress: Come and See them at Fabric on the 7th November with me!

and one Remix:
Following the same sound: Jichael Mackson  - Velvet



Now For Something completely different, Sorted By Genre
