HTIKM


A wee heads up ... We'll be running a competition on Monday 5th October to win a test pressing of the debut release on new imprint Home Taping Is Killing Music.

Dedicated to that H.O.U.S.E. sound we all love, the label kicks of with a Revenge release as a Part One / Part Two (including a double-extra deep Red Rack'em remix).

DC La Rue Reworks


The beginning of a new series of remixes of legendary disco / house producer DC La Rue commissioned for wax ...

The Weekend



This Friday is the launch of Prins Thomas' Full Pupp party @ Corsica Studios in London with Mark E, Blackbelt Anderson, Bjorn Torske, Warm Residents and yours truly.

Saturday is a Glasgow affair in The Glasshouse with the iguanas and orchids at the Wee Chill - also with Thomas and a whole bunch of other folk.

The weekend culminates in Glasgow's Courtyard at the Sabbath's infamous house party, Sunday Circus, where Ali will be taking care of some OOFT business.

Dexter



Been messing around with a classic! Some say you shouldn't but I guess most of you will see what I was going after with this one...

400 D/Ls - no reposting as always

Calling all Glasgow Heads...



Heads up... We're going to be holding down a monthly residency at the Mamasan late-night Bar/Club from next Friday October 2nd, and then the first Friday of each and every month after that.

Part of the Saint Judes Boutique hotel on Bath Street, it's a rather nice place to lay down some beats and will give us the chance to explore all the various sounds we've been punting on the blog for so long over each 4-hour set. So if anyone local is kicking about that end of town, on that particular date, at that particular time then pop in - its free entry. And if you ask nicely there may be some free muso-goodies too ;)

Right On Point



Got this 12" today from one of my fave producers. Been heavily bumping the B-side track Truly for a while now (as anyone who's listened to the recent OOFT mixes will testify), but the title track trumps it - just a beautiful piece of emotional electronic dance music. Both are easy contenders for tunes of the year at OOFT towers.
