Just a quick one about this that I just stumbled upon! Beatport are offering this 10 track promo album for free! Just go to Beatport & type 'Spectral Promo' into the search box and hit 'Releases' and there she'll be. Tracks from Audion, Kate Simko, Osborne & Par Grindvik amongst others make up the album.
This one is a bit special! And its excited me no end! Each time I've seen these guys they are legendary. Another night I have to fit in somehow.......
This weeks new podcast from the Cannibals is up and comes from one of this weeks TWO special guests at the club in New York, Martin Landsky. The other guest is a guy who seems to be everywhere at the moment, Konrad Black! Landsky's mix is really good and in many peoples opinions is possibly the best yet. It's a toss up between this one and Cassy's for me.

someone else
elsewhere ep
(remixes by michal ho and kriss)
release date: march 30 2009
sean o'neal (a.k.a. someone else) got started djing in philadelphia amidst his local piers such as king britt, josh wink, pete moss, rob paine, and the list goes on. and then someone else became known for gritty minimal techno hits like "bedroom eyes", "picture perfect", his remix of heartz4's "intimacy girl", and many others. but now is another time, and someone else wants to bring back some of the deep tech-house vibes that he was raised on in his hometown, yet still remaining himself all along.
sooooo, that said, foundsound cofounder someone else delivers more bomb-diggity good times with elsewhere ep. this time, he delves into a more organic and soulful side of loopy dancefloor tech-house suitable for the tasteful clubs and (maybe more so) the outdoors -- incorporating a smoother and catchier side of his trademark cut-up vocals. plus, you get a wicked remix by michal ho of tuning spork fame, and a jaw-dropping digital bonus remix by unfoundsound’s latest pride-and-joy, kriss.
on a1 – “sunny day in smallville” -- you get a 10:15 long-play with a deep progression that'll make a dancefloor spin and grin. this anthemic chugger drives with a rolling bassline, a bouncy swing, dense yet dissonant percussion, and sliced 'n' diced vocals which are rich and emotive. it's simple, tracky and complex all at once, and it makes an excellent dj tool.
on b1 – “funny day elsewhere -- you get a catchy, vocal snippy tech-house joyride with a dubby bassline, blurry bongos and soulful delight.
on b2 – “funny day elsewhere (michal ho remix)” -- the tuning spork mofo keeps it housey, bouncy and abstract.
then the digital bonus track – “sunny day in smallville (kriss remix)” -- the young italian newbie dishes out a mind-numbing minimal club-stormer.
go ahead and poop in your pants.
audio clips:
a1/ sunny day in smallville
b1/ funny day elsewhere
b2/ funny day elsewhere (michal ho remix)

Miskate
Drillbit ep
(remix by Barem)
Foundsound’s own co-founder, a shy and beautiful American supergirl known as Miskate, returns with a fresh, new twist on her buggy trademark sound. Plus, Argentina’s Barem of Foundsound and Minus fame dishes out a minimal tech-house bomb that is an emotively mesmerizing remix.
Now with more than 15 records on labels like Karloff, Einmaleins, Microcosm, Alphahouse, Roman Photo, Wit and Foundsound, Drillbit ep might be Miskate’s strongest release to date. Miskate proves to have an amazing ability to take only a few significant samples -- whether it’s a field recording or her own voice -- along with simple groovy rhythms, and spawn irresistible works-of-art that djs can appreciate. Ranging form loopy dancefloor mayhem to deeply emotional abstractionism, Miskate’s Drillbit ep is powerfully enticing.
on a1 – “Drillbit” -- you get a loopy dancefloor gem shaped by tribally bongos, a bouncy bassline and a driving tech-house beat -- meanwhile all being relentlessly overshadowed by the melodic snarling and roaring of an electric drill. During the riveting breakdown, the intense wailing of the drill pleasurably cuts through your body while forcing your hands happily into the air.
on a2 – “What You Want” -- she goes deep and groovy with her own oddly pitched vocals, a captivating bassline and pleasantly haunting atmospherics -- moving with a sort of Villalobos-like structure along with profound emotions captured in the melodies of her voice, both melancholy and blissful at the same time.
on b1 – “What You Want (Barem remix)” -- the Minus superkid delivers a tech-house long-play fueled by bongo drums, Miskate’s stirring vocals and a climactic breakdown that’ll make audiences rejoice on the dancefloor.
So c’mon boys and girls! Take yourself and your audience on a tripped-out joyride through the wondrous worlds of Miskate and Barem!

System's next night at The Mint Club in Leeds brings over Tunisian, ex hip hop DJ turned techno star, Loco Dice! The night takes place on Saturday 21st March.
New one from the Ibiza-Voice podcast series. From one of the men of the moment as he seems to be everywhere, Johnny D.
The latest installment in the quality Berghain series is mixed by resident , Len Faki. Its out in April and will no doubt be typically great.
Also just found out that the dark queen of techno herself is back after a long leave of Leeds absense. That dark queen is of course, Magda! Taking place on the first bank holiday weekend of the two in May, this is on the Sunday night which is the 3rd May. The venue is confirmed as being at The Faversham, so I assume its gonna be one of their bank holiday all dayers, and I for one, am there!
So this Saturdays special guest at New Yorks 'Save the Cannibals', is Cassy, all the way from Berlin. And as usual there is a podcast from the weeks guest. The only information I have on it is that it was recorded last month.
EG 064 - Let's Go Outside
Steve Schieberl was born in Milan, Italy and is now living in Portland, Oregon. He took the moniker "Let's Go Outside" as a tribute to his fascination with outdoor activities.
Let's Go Outside started DJing and producing electronic music as a teenager in the early nineties in southern California. He was picked up by Glasgow-based Soma Quality Recordings in 2006, receiving support from luminaries such as Andrew Weatherall, Laurent Garnier, and Ivan Smagghe. He's followed up on some early releases and remixes with the early 2008 release of his debut album, "A Picnic with the Hunters", on Soma Records, pairing that with a successful European tour performing for sold out crowds at venues including Fabric, The Loft, The Arches and Sub Club. He's continued with a steady stream of releases and has now started his own imprint, Slant Records.
This mix is a one hour showcase of music recently made or released by Let's Go Outside and his friends in the Pacific Northwest USA. It debuts new pieces from Let's Go Outside and the Cells and Catalog projects, alongside material from forthcoming releases on Slant Records. Cells is a collaboration project between Let's Go Outside and Seattle-based From 0-1's Milkplant and Sone. "Catalog" is Schieberl's new alias for electro-based music. This set represents a particular flavor of techno in Cascadia and what is in store for 2009 from this corner of the world..

For those who simply don't know when to stop clubbing Fabric are hosting a new Sunday night event from the 'Wet Yourself' crew. Running each Sunday night from 11pm-6am they appear to be bringing in some quality guests. This Sunday [8th Feb] its Miss Kitten, followed by Marc Houle on the 15th and Popof [CR2/Turbo] on the 22nd. One to watch I think. Make sure you've got Monday off though!
Bit of a late one this but if you're in London tonight this should be a decent night out in the capital.
£5 tickets sold out, last few £10 tickets remaining from http://www.clubtickets.com/uk/2009-02/06/fervor.jsp
£12 on the door.
This Saturday see's Save the Cannibals in New York showcasing Matthew Dear & Derek Plaslaiko. Dear is playing an extended 5 hour set which should be nice! I was hoping for a new Matthew Dear podcast from the Cannibals this week as the previous headliners have all had their own podcasts but thats not to be this week. However, Plaslaiko has done one for the guys and it can be downloaded here:
Remute returns to Shooting Elvis but this time with his own EP, delivering a straight-up, no-nonsense techno cut in the form of "Joking About Death". Dabbling in warehouse style rides and invading fx, this is outer-space techno not for the faint hearted!
Flip to the B and James Kronier steps up to rework the original into a heavyweight bass kick led, organic percussive, howling grinder, another dancefloor stomper! The final cut on this 3 track EP is the cheeky instrumental, "Zotvuu". Layered with live tricks and stutters, a perfect crowd teaser that completes this well rounded EP.
Shooting Elvis is the new imprint from precocious twenty-two-year-old UK talent Tommy-Four-Seven. The label already has contributions from Remute, Mark Broom, Sebastian Roya and James Kronier with tracks from more deep techno luminaries to be announced.
Fans range from Speedy J or Chris Liebing to Satoshi Tomiie, the latter both licenced Shooting Elvis tracks for their latest mix compilations.
