yeah they always had a lot of skill at riding the pop edge without descending into outright cheese (my opinion, of course)

I'll take it!

Hey! So I know some of you will hate this, but that's ok ... I'm a big fan of The Chemical Brothers, and have been since basically when I first got into electronic music, which was (gulp) quite some time ago. Anyways, I decided to put together a mix of some of my favorite 90's stuff from them...

that was the era, a lot of earnest enthusiasm in that first wave of music blogs

a couple things have happened: 1. Puerto Ricans are more widely dispersed around NYC these days; they're less segregated than in the past (IMO a good thing!), and more have moved into the middle class and beyond. For example, when I was last in New York in October I went up to Riverdale in the...

as I remember you hate No U-Turn stuff, so I wouldn't bother with the second mix at all (I like it, though!) as for the first one, well, I guess it depends on how much you like Bukem-type tunage - if you think it all sounds a bit 90's hair commercial, then I guess not, but if you like it...

Hey! I'm super excited to kick off 2023 with a very special mix project: a two-part, 50-track mix set dedicated to reimagining nights at two of London's most influential drum n' bass nights ever: Speed and Metalheadz! One mix is focused on the light side, the other on the dark, but taken...

Interesting to see Lil Uzi Vert hop on this particular train:

thanks! yeah, I really like this stuff (obviously), but I guess it is very knowingly retro, and that's the issue, maybe?

I've done a mix of some of my favorite tunes from London-born, Berlin-based producer Luca Lozano. Very big fan of his old skool-flavored mashup of Chicago house, Detroit techno, bleep, breaks, electro, and jungle. Enjoy! Blog link...

oof, what a tune. I'm not really a reggae expert, anything else you would recommend in a similar vein?

going to revive this thread with this monster of a tune - great reggae sample in this! nice hardcore-esque echoey breakdown, too

Naughty Naughty was Grant Nelson, surely one of the greatest multi-genre producers in the whole history of the 'nuum? his Mentasm remix was particularly fantastic: absurd sub-bass on this one, would love to hear it on a big soundsystem some time

I've never been a huge fan of 'Dream' actually! I did use 'Trapped', which was on the flip

Here's a new mix of mine - I've done a fun little selection of mid-00's (mostly) vocal grime tunes, which is a bit of a departure for me, as I normally play instrumentals. It meant I had to rethink how I do the mixing, so it was a kind of fun experiment. From the blog post to accompany the mix...

They're still out there djing, the label isn't too busy these days, but Elijah in particular seems quite active as a writer / podcaster - he's actually using Instagram in a pretty interesting way to share thoughts about the world of music. Skilliam mailed me a copy of their last release as a...

great drums on this one!

I did a mix of Butterz stuff a few weeks back - big fan of that label Tracklisting: 01. Swindle & Silkie - Unlimited [Butterz] 02. Terror Danjah - Bipolar [Butterz] 03. TRC - Oo Aa Ee (VIP Mix) [Butterz] 04. D.O.K. - Chemical Planet [Butterz] 05. Swindle - Airmiles (20,000 Miles Later)...

not one of Dave Charlesworth's better-known tunes, but still a pretty tasty slice of '94 jungle.
