  • Total girl crush (still)

    The first time I clapped eyes on Nina Kraviz, I was completely bowled over (and hideously envious) of her beauty. This Siberian-born lady is one fine fox, who has brains and business sense too – like the best of us, of course. Perhaps that’s why she’s chosen Radio Slave’s Rekids as the label to release…

  • 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 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…

  • New music for a new year

    While I’m off sunning myself on the beaches of Egypt, here are a couple of cool little tracks to keep you ticking over. Germany-based Walker Barnard is definitely my latest love affair so in the spirit of sharing is caring, I’m selflessly passing on his collaboration with Swedish producer Agaric, plus his amazing ‘Bend The…

  • 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…

  • Paul Kalkbrenner- Atzepeng

    Time to come clean, I have an unhealthy addiction. Ok, so there are worse things to be hooked on but I can’t quite get enough of Paul Kalkbrenner. From his amazing mix from this summer’s Chateau Click Clack festival in Germany and his performance in Berlin Calling (finally winging it’s way to me as we…

  • Transform – Transformation (Tobi Neumann Matthew Styles Mix)

    Since returning from Ibiza, I’d somehow forgotten to look up the tune that became the soundtrack to my holiday. Going by last year’s effort, that’s quite out of character too… Fear not, last night, a friend sent me a link to a song he wanted me to listen to…and there it was. Funny how things…

  • The Amnesia I Will Never Forget

    Arriving home at 7am yesterday, it really felt like a week in Ibiza had just melted into one as it completely flew by.  However, I’m delighted to say that not only was it the best holiday of my life, it was also throughly a thirtieth to remember thanks to one incredible night; Cocoon at Amnesia.…

  • CR2 Records Crank Up The Competition With 20th Anniversary Space ’09 Release

    Each year, there’s a veritable choice of Ibiza compilations to choose from.  Whilst I’m a big Azuli fan, a sample CD made its way to me last year to prove there’s only really one go-to label to wind you up for the White Isle, and keep you going long after a hedonistic week.  Who? Independent…
