Tomorrow's Festivities

If anyone in Glasgow or London is heading out tomorrow you can catch The Revenge at Craig Richards & Jamie Jones' new night "Shoplifter" at the new T Bar down in the big smoke.

Locals can catch AliOOFT at the Sunday Circus all-dayer at the Courtyard in Glasgow city-centre.

Best have a good breakfast methinks, as it'll be a long day!

Part Four

Ilija Rudman has provided the ammunition for number four in the Instruments Of Rapture series due out at the end of September. There's a Revenge mix and a 6th Borough Project mix too.

We'll have some more info in the next week or two.

(Com)pressing Matters

I was on a short holiday over the weekend and picked up a copy of the new issue of Sound On Sound magazine for the flight to Viva Espana. It turns out it was a good thing I did as the main feature was a great article on the use of audio compression, which is always seen as a bit of a black art to anyone (such as myself) who has never had any formal audio training.
So if you've every wondered about what compressors to use in a specific situation, or worried about messing around with attack/release times and the like grab yourself a copy now. Article taster link below...

RJA03 : Harri

This one just missed the beginning of our podcast series and I figured it would be a crime not to give it more exposure as it was received so well. So here's the man like Harri doing what he does so well ...

Beyond Senses

Harri and myself put together a remix for "And If" on Rebirth Records in Italy recently. All handclaps, string bits and boingy bass. There's a tasty Dave Pezzner workout on there too. Out today and ROTW at Piccadilly ...

Ruff Jamz Podcast Relaunch

Due to the amount of good mixes we've been hearing lately, we have just relaunched our Ruff Jamz podcast (previously available through Five20East) on a new server. We'll be sporadically bringing you some of our favourite mixes and of course we'd be interested in you getting some of your own mixes over to us if you reckon they can meet the grade.

The first mix is from Neville's Disco (aka Paul Thompson & Paul Barton), and it's a great little chilled out number to get us back on our feet again.

** A quick note : you'll need to re-subscribe to the new podcast through i-tunes if you had already subscribed to the old one **

Keeping Talley

I've been listening to this supa-deep mix by Detroit Beatdown veteran, Norm Talley over and over again recently. Originally posted by Lee Bolton who recorded them for his radio show in Pittsburg, it's are a great example of a legend at work. There is also a disco mix which is great too.

American Heart Remixes

We've been busy finishing a few more remixes for Music For Dreams America. There's dub and vocal versions of this one for Bliss on the same EP, featuring the enigma that is Boy George. We left out the A-Team samples.
