New stuff on the DFA Records label, Hercules and Love Affair hails from Brooklyn and consists of producer/dj Andrew Butler. His sound has been described as “a cross between Arthur Russell, Kevin Saunderson's Inner City, and and some old Chicago house but with a 2007 feel.” This beautiful and epic dance track - “Blind” - [...]

When it comes to replicating all those lost afternoons spent watching Dance Party USA , there's only so many times you can listen to "Buffalo Stance" for a late-'80s dance pop fix--no, we swear--and that's where 1988's "Big Fun" by Inner City comes in. Mastermind Kevin Saunderson is rightly feted as a serious techno pioneer by serious techno fans, but here all he needed was a split-screen working...

Larry Vuckovich hasna(TM)t been recorded nearly often enough as a leader since his 1980 Inner City debut Blue Balkan, though the Balkan nativea(TM)s Street Scene is clearly one of his finest efforts. Although he had been using horns on recent projects, Vuckovich decided to put more focus on the piano, opting for what is primarily a trio date with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Akira Tana...

Not only is he a gifted musician, he’s from Houston. And over the last 2 years his Inner City Parochial Schools Organization donated $105,000 to 3 black parochial schools, including Our Mother of Mercy which he and his wife Yolanda both attended. About 4 minutes in he does one of my all time favorites Misty. And [...]

Inner City – Good Life (Magic Juan Mix) As Juan Week draws to a close (Is it really a week already since we had Heavenly ? My, my doesn't time fly when you're having fun') I thought I’d finish off my contribution to it as we started: with a Magic Juan remix of a Kevin Saunderson track. With more than a dash of pop sensibility yet an unmistakeably underground sound, you've gotta love the chunky synth...

SingStar seems to be amazingly popular. No seriously, like AMAZINGLY popular. Personally it's a fun concept for a game, and a bit of a laugh, but i've not yet met anyone who plays it on any kind of semi-regular basis.

It's the second anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina disaster that almost destroyed New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. While tourist New Orleans is back pretty much intact, many of the places that served as homes and rehearsal spaces for musicians remains abandoned and unusable. Groups like Music Rising have assisted greatly in replacing instruments and allowing Preservation Jazz Hall to reopen,...

Jackie McLean with Michael Carvin for Inner City from 1975 Two files- McLean & Carvin This unusual project matches alto saxophonist Jackie McLean (also heard on flute, percussion, and a little bit of piano) and drummer/percussionist Michael Carvin in a set of duets. The music (all originals) is atmospheric and often haunting, making a lot of use of space. Some sections meander, but the four-part title...

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who came out to the Get Girl. Kill Baddies. Save Planet. all-dayer, Attack Of The Giant Woman (the Get Girl people don't like to make things easy) yesterday. It was a great day and even though NO-ONE danced while I was DJing (think it might have been a bit too early for rug-cutting, to be honest), thanks to everyone who was there. For those who are interested,...
