I’m massively stoked about seeing Sao Paulo, Brazil’s very own favourite (probably) techno son Gui Boratto live tonight at Plastic People as part of the Kompakt party night (also featuring Chilean Matias Aguayo, gotta love that South American Techno vibe…) from the lovely people at allez-allez.
Boratto’s Chromophobia is my techno album of 2007 (so far) and I never tire of listening to it. it’s just so goddam beautiful! Word on the grapevine (ok, the intarwebs) is that Boratto is AMAZING live, so I’m almost literally spazziing out with anticipation. (Video clips after the ‘jump’…) Continue reading →

My good friend Rico Casazza has a new track out – “Low Tech Predator” – on the first release from the brand new Serialism label, straight outta Shoreditch, bringing you finest quality bespoke minimal/tech house. You can pick it up at Juno, and on vinyl in all discerning record stores soon. Or, thanks to the magic of the intarwebs, Martin Laine’s nifty Audio Player WordPress plug-in, and this very blog, you can enjoy it right here:

Ideally of course, you’ll want to hear it on the “dancefloor”, so why not get along to Audio Bass at Rhythm Factory on 10 August, where Rico will be ‘spinning’ along with other luminaries of the East London underground minimal/techno/electro/whathaveyou scene.

Welcome, gentle readers, to my new blog. I’ve imported my old Typepad blog so as to have something for you to peruse, but I consider this really to be a fresh start. After two years working in Londond and commuting to Cambridge I have recently gone freelance and hope that the extra time I have when I am not involved in hellish commuting will actually result in somewhat more frequent blog posting (more frequent than hardly ever, which is what I was managing lately…) I’ll also take advantage of the marvellous flexibility and extensibility of WordPress to try to craft something lovely for you all to enjoy, with widgets galore and all manner of unnecessary but cool bells and whistles. So then, here we go again!

This is the Mobile Clubbing event at Paddington Station, London, on 30 November 2006. It was a lot of fun. I danced next to Geoff Dyer for a while, which was nice, since I really like his books, particularly Yoga For People Who Can’t Be Bothered To Do It .
There were probably about 500 people there, and the atmosphere was just excellent, with lots of spontaneous waves of cheering erupting. Onlooking Police Ossifers even managed to crack a smile occassionally. I left after about an hour, having been filmed dancing by Reuters.
Here is a nice slideshow of photos by yappa.

I’m happy to announce the ‘soft launch’ of VinylRulz.com, which I’ve been working on in dribs and drabs for the last several months. It’s not quite finished yet, but near enough for your perusal, I reckon. I hope you like it, but let me know if you think anything, like, sucks.
The proprietors – Ray and Danny – are great guys and it has been lovely working with them on it. If you are in London and want to visit an excellent and friendly record store specialising in techno, minimal, electro, breaks and house, why not check it out?
