Donato Dozzy The Tao (ep) Samurai Music Italian techno DJ and producer Donato Dozzy is a bit of a magician – he makes the club bangers that also can exist outside of those four walls and can live and breathe on your home stereo too. It’s a slick gift, subtle, intriguing. He’s been making music […]Archive

Charles Webster: Decision Time
Charles Webster Decision Time Dimensions Recordings What a comeback. What a return. Charles Webster – legendary DJ, producer, remixer, composer – hasn’t made a proper record under his own name in nearly two decades.

Tenderlonious: Think Twice (ep)
Tenderlonious Think Twice (ep) 22a Music / 22a Ed “Tenderlonious” Cawthorne released a killer record last year called Hard Rain and he followed it up with this EP – another oblique Bob Dylan reference… Flautist, saxophonist, bandleader turned label-owner, beatmaker and producer, Tenderlonious has parked his future-jazz 22archestra to the side and now seems more […]Archive

Anthony Naples: Fog FM
Anthony Naples Fog FM ANS Good house and techno music isn’t so much hard to find as it is hard to keep up with, and I don’t mean BPM-wise. I’m so out of the loop I’m barely a semi-circle. But I have – slightly – followed Anthony Naples. He’s been on the scene for the […]Archive

Stubs: #170 – Hugh Laurie, Wellington, 2014
Hugh Laurie singing Dr. John is like John Key serving a romantic dinner – however well-intentioned you just can’t feel comfortable with the end result. That was (part of) what I said in my review.

Theo Parrish: Footwork (ep)
Theo Parrish Footwork Sound Signature Ahead of the full-lengther here’s a new 2-track EP from Theo Parrish. Only two tracks – but 20 minutes of groove; that makes it worth mentioning – Parrish has roots in Chicago’s early house scene and Detroit’s classic techno feel and he combines those separate vestiges to make is own […]Archive

Vermont: Vermont
Vermont Vermont Kompakt Germany You might know Danilo Plessow from his Motor City Drum Ensemble moniker. You might know , both are talented house music producers. Together they are Vermont – and this self-titled album project is a calming and lovely late-night/early-early-morning set of ambient ideas that has very little to do with house music […]Archive
