Two tunes for Friday
Is it really Friday again already? I’m certainly not complaining… Here are the two tracks I’m currently crazy about, picked by Cassy, Circo Loco’s latest resident, who’s also lent her talents to mixing the latest Mix Mag CD. Time to wind-up the week and get the party started. Geddes and Newman produce a heartbeat baseline…

The Temper Trap – Love Lost
I forgot just how good this song is – the video only serves to complete it. Happy Friday.

Trentemøller & Paul Kalkbrenner: Moan
At the beginning of May I finally had the chance to see Paul Kalkrenner live at Fabric and I was far from disappointed. I’ve been a big fan of his work for some time now and was only too glad to have his collaboration with Trentemøller (though somewhat old) sent my way by a friend. Titled…

The arch enemy of bad moods
This morning was not a good one. I’ll be honest, I felt royally down-in-the-mouth. Having left the bike in the office, my tube journey presented me with the perfect opportunity to get reacquainted with that old friend called iPod (unlike thousands of others, I refuse to risk my life by listening mid-cycle). My pick-me-up arrived in the…

Tuneful Tuesday
Today has been the first day in a while that I’ve had a little time to sit down and listen to what the wonderful world Beatport has to offer. As always, there’s so much on there that it’s difficult to see the wood for the trees, so to speak. However, after wading my way through…

A pop convert?
It’s no secret that every once in a while there’s a Live Lounge track that I fall head over heels for. A slightly less familiar love however, is that old chestnut called pop music. Then there is Adele. Oh, and her jaw-dropping, simply spectacular performance on The Brits this week. Maybe it’s because I can…

A bit of sweet house music
On the hunt for some new tunes last night, I was flicking through the many that had been sent my way. Sadly, there was a distinct lack of ear-pricking-up which prompted me to cast my attention back to 2010 and focus on those numbers I may have missed. First found was the glittering sounds of…

Island – Daypayk & Padberg, featuring Caro (Noze remix)
Apologies that it’s been a bit of a case of radio-silence from this end of the world – all energies have been focused strictly on tying up loose ends before Father Christmas and his reindeer friends pay us a visit. Finally, most of my work is done, it’s looking a little rosier on the flight…

Spend ‘A Night With…’ Tobi Neumann
Over the next couple of weeks, London livens up with some of the biggest nights of the year – Sven Väth and his Cocoon crew are in town for a double whammy weekender (Liverpool on Friday 26th, and Fabric London on 27th), Double Trouble Productions bravely host Rhythmatic’s third anniversary on the same Saturday as Väth,…

Double Trouble celebrate Rhythmatic’s 3rd birthday with headliner Marco Carola
On sitting down in a café in Spitalfields, it’s immediately hard not to be charmed by Kiri and Kostas Poulos. Brothers, twins and rock solid friends, the duo also go by the name of Double Trouble Productions and are the team behind the international Rhythmatic nights too. With over ten years experience, the boys have worked…

Head cinema with Kollektiv Turmstrasse
Back in September, I met up with friends from across the pond for Cocoon’s Green and Blue festival in Frankfurt. An ace time was had by all, but one of the highlights by far was experiencing the live sounds of German tech duo Kollektiv Turmstrasse. Yesterday, one of the friends who was with me at the event sent…

Music for a moody Monday
Judging by this morning’s hideous journey into The Eco Office, costing me a fine full £10 for said travel – today did not start off on the best foot. However, after a particularly slow first few hours, things finally picked up with discovery of some good tunes to type to. So, if you’ve been having…

An evening with men on the moon
Last weekend, I spent a day in blistering sunshine dancing to techno at Green and Blue festival in Frankfurt. In stark contrast, this Wednesday saw me taking my seat at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall to watch a performance of something quite unbeknown to me – Brian Eno’s Apollo. A far cry from bass fuelled house…

A good deed goes a long way
Running errands in Covent Garden (in six inch heels) I was stopped by someone asking for directions to an art shop. After pointing the way and exchanging a little small talk, he handed me a CD saying; “This is for you.” Swiftly after, I tottered back to the office and noticed my beaming smile. Who cares…

The Fashion Office Recommends…Goodbye Songs
This week we are dedicated this week’s Fashion Office Recommends to Goodbye Songs as it’s sadly Sartoriology’s turn yell “Because I’m Leaving!” at the top of her voice. So while the lovely lady herself hasn’t quite escaped our clutches just yet, here’s a few of our favourite picks to ensure she has nothing less than a…
