Captain Mustard - Quiet Move


I think Quiet Move by Captain Mustard has to be my favourite Lovefingers track. What was yours? Thank you Lovefingers.




Sui Generis - Speaking Terms (buy)


You can tell a bit about an artist just from the label they appear on. Sui Generis has featured with Rush Hour and Soma, so you know there is going to be elements of techno and house. What you might not know until you listen is just how amazing it sounds.



Itamar Sagi - Selio (buy)


Taken from Shlomi Aber's Be As One label is this from Itamar Sagi. Repetitive tech-house is good.

Kenny Larkin - Q (Right Brain Mix) (buy)


Quite a peculiar Kenny Larkin track. Taken from a split with Incogdo aka Carl Craig & Derrick May.

Panorama Bar favourite XDB has out on Wave Music the Lost Tapes EP which really highlights this guys raw talent when it comes to producing a wide range of electronic music styles




Dorothy's Fortress - Tube Thumper (buy)


Dorothy's Fortress
had a couple of belting disco-house EP's out last year. More prolific than Retro/Grade.

Rising Sun - Candy In My Pocket (buy)


This is taken off Rising Sun's fantastic debut 12" Sun Dance. Deep minimal house music, complemented superbly by a gorgeous remix wrapped in cotton wool from Sven Weisemann.



Cottam - 001A (buy)


2009 saw the emergence of Cottam, an artist who I am very keen to hear more of this year. Hailing from Preston he'd been soaking up electronic music for years in various forms before finally coming up with his own winning formula, his three EP's to date have all been received superbly, offering a sumptuous deep house sound that often samples and re-works old soul, funk and r'n'b tracks. Fans of Soul Clap, take note.



This is a 30 minute mix that I have done for the guys at The Joint and their weekly radio show. Cheers guys!


Tracklist:
Servi - Laistrygonen
Abraham - Magpie
Mark E - Codsall Juniors
Paskal - Sweet Settings
John Talabot - Naomi
Comtron - C64 Carat (Tom Trago Remix)
Idioma - Landscapes (Tim Paris Remix)
Geheimtipp - Geheimtipp 3 Side A
Ron Geesin - Mominous
John Daly - Juno Skies


Stream/Download



Hmm, I guess Sweet Settings by Paskal was one of the most slept on tracks of last year. So, so beautiful. Paskal also features on Etoka's celebratory 20th release. Lot's of nice minimal through to deep house on there.

And normal service resumes, will hopefully post a bit more now :)


Family Of God - PIP


Going back to 1998 is this by Family Of God on In Flagranti's Codek Records... amazing stuff as you'd expect. You can find this and other pre-millenium Codek cuts on Blast Head's Middle Taste Of Codek. So good.



Patrick Cowley and Jorge Socarras - Burn Brighter Flame (Morgan Geist Edit) (buy)


More curio old stuff getting editted and re-released. Cowley and Socarras get editted here by Morgan Geist, but there's also a remix by Oni Ayhun in this package!



Ulysses - Latin Combo (buy)


Out on Wurst Edits is the sublime Latin Combo by Ulysses, upbeat disco for the modern dancefloor.



Sleazy McQueen - Naked (KiNK Remix) (buy)


This starts off on a fairly similar track to the original, then KiNK descends into darkness, bass and acidic oscillating synths. Nice.



Lil' Tony - Mona (buy)


Chicago inspired house from Lil' Tony. His latest Underground Sound Of Helsinki EP is pure goodness throughout.



Memphis - Le Petit (buy)


Spanish tech-house from Memphis, simple yet very effective and refreshing production based around some strange, strange vocal sample. Like it a lot.



Martin Buttrich - L2 (buy)


Again, loving the relative simplicity of this Martin Buttrich track for Desolat.
