Explorations

The house sounds I’ve been consistently drawn to over the last few years seem to revolve around siblings Dubbyman and Above Smoke’s Deep Explorer imprint and the small coterie of labels they release on and share some kind of kindred spirit with: Yore, Mineundo, Fear of Flying to name a few. While the legacy of [...]

This is why I don’t get booked

This is why I don’t get booked

The title is only half in jest. Deep, dubby techno.

Imaginatively Titled

Some dubstep, techno, noodly stuff for February.

Finally, a new mix

Finally, a new mix

Been listening to a lot of disco nuggets recently, as well as some 80’s synth stuff, largely as a result of recently being asked to play at Peroxide, a monthly synth-based night at Fiction in Cape Town. Had a great time there and have included a few tracks I played that night in my latest [...]

Beat diggin’

Beat diggin’

The fine art and science of searching for the elusive beat.
“Like the beat digging, cuz that’s a whole science man. There’s a lot more to beat digging than a gamble. I’m still learning every day y’know. And that’s the whole beauty of it — the learning. We’re on some masters levels in beat digging in [...]

Here’s a new mix.
Bit of a mixed bag, some hip hop, some house, some unclassifiable stuff … and Prince.
It’s in two parts of roughly an hour each. Usual “buy the tracks if you like them” thing here.

Friday Deep House Mix

Friday Deep House Mix

Here’s another deep mix for a languid Friday afternoon. I aim to upload something new for you every two weeks or so. Cheesy images will of course be the norm. If you like the tracks on here please go and buy them at Traxsource or Beatport. They’re all available. If you want the vinyl try [...]

Deep House Mix

Deep House Mix

Every Thursday I pack some records and go down the road to play a four hour set at Asoka in Cape Town. Here’s a recording of part of one of those sets, complete with cheesy name, picture and tracklist. As you’ll see I don’t discriminate between the old and the new. Some of the records [...]
