i checked a mix linked to on that event page, just to see what some of you think 'proper house' is. it was just atjazz/yoruba soul style vocal tracks. quite nice.

kind of surprised i still have it, took me a while to find! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11654724/Investigation%20at%2045rpm.mp3 i cant believe the way i spoke online 4 years ago

well the obvious point to make is that women are not a minority group. it's a worthwhile issue to bring up but given that there are equal numbers of women in our society, and a lot of women who do go to nights and listen to the music (the overwhelmingly positive reactions from women in the...

in that case im interested in hearing why you think there's such an imbalance? if it's irrelevant why are there so few female producers/djs/label owners, and why is gender always discussed when the few successful women are interviewed or talked about

sorry that wasn't my intention!

yeah, don't worry though - it only becomes problematic when we've got no decoration at raves

fair enough, i don't object to the idea of a dancefloor as a sexualised space but i do object to sexuality being represented so narrowly. even if it's never quite translated to reality, a kind of social idealism has existed in dance music, and i think that's valuable. i don't see women being...

are u actually a men's rights activist?

ctrl c + ctrl v from my dj cv you need one these days or the house music guys don't let you in

that sound system (after last summers closure) was the same as the old one, the only tweaks were to the room/acoustic treatment stuff

reading turn the beat around and came across this section on the blackout riots in new york in 1977. i thought it sounded familiar “By the time power was restored the next evening, there had been 1,037 fires, the city had suffered $300 million worth of damage and the police had arrested more...

interesting idea, maybe that's why you like her dj sets

blimey wasn't the first tune to use hollowed out percussion sounds would you criticise a funky or grime producer for this in the same way? she just has her own sound, distinctive and instantly recognisable

was your account hacked?

yeah i remember that one, there was that tune rising sun too i think i stopped checking for this stuff when it stopped coming out on record. i used to check them at uptown
