Ah, 80's music. No, we don't mean that 80's music . We mean Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy inventing new art forms at dueling nightclubs in Chicago. From their respective perches at The Warehouse and The Music Box, these pioneers of music transformed soul, disco, R&B, and funk into what's now known as house music. Midway through the 80's, many Chicago DJs and clubgoers started experimenting with creating...

It’s Midsummer Day here in Sweden today, and those of us not hanging out at Sonar are getting ready to eat some herring and drink some snaps. But before we get all rowdy we just had to post this. Our Italian homies at Pig Mag/Pig Radio just gave out this pretty much all awesome mix [...]

When we were young we used to catch bits and pieces of Friday night dance mix shows on radio stations like Z100, and by bits and pieces we mean the time it took to walk to the bathroom during commercial breaks from TGIF to drain out all the fruit punch from our bladders. It was always on some Euro-trance nonsense and since we weren't familiar with clubs or bars yet, getting down with some good friends...

Check out some excellent new remixes of Hercules & Love Affair's new single "Blind" that features vocals by the amazing Antony. House legend Frankie Knuckles, London DJ Serge Santiago and Hercules himself created some pumping new renditions of the high-energy,...

There's something too slick and robotic about Hercules & Love Affair 's neo-disco for my taste; as Daft Punk has acknowledged, even electronic dance music should still drip human sweat. Leave it to legendary New York DJ Frankie Knuckles to turn "Blind" into something lush and warm, dropping the original's irritating bass octaves in favor of a more melodic bass line, soft synths and more naturalistic...

Sounds of Blackness – The Pressure pt.1(classic 12 inch mix) OK, going to get this out the way first thing this morning, hopefully so I can concentrate more on the less bloggy things that need to be done between now and the start of the weekend. This is another classic Frankie Knuckles remix of a classic house tune from 1992.. I love the lazy, soulful intro, the boompty beat when it kicks in, and...

After doing this on my personal blog for some time, it made sense to move it here to a more fitting place. So, here's the first of hopefully some regular postings, showcasing what's on heavy rotation on my MP3 player. There's no rules here and if there were, then I'd like to exercise my right to bending them a little. Sometimes it's newer stuff, sometimes it's older stuff, but wherever they're from...
