aah i see - i got confused and thought you had tickets to that night. still, with a crowd like that you cant go wrong <great to see
The night I nearly went to is called Thunder and is run by some proper house heads. One of them used to DJ at Bloodsugar with Weatherall. They are usually based at The Waiting Room in Stokey. I've yet to make it across town as I'm lazy these days, but they have some wicked guests on
 
There is a story about an early Richie Hawtin party in some dive in Detroit or Windsor in which there was a fire alarm, followed by a powercut. While they waited around outside, the crowd started signing Robert Armani's Fire Alarm

I love that kind of mass spontaneity that just demonstrates the kind of unity (and music knowledge) that is certainly rarely displayed these days
 
Oh and BTW in case you didn't know, the track in the Rahaan vid is Mach's On and On, which Jesse Saunders turned into the first house track (allegedly)
 
It is rare to find places like this now, and I can even remember the last one I went to as it stood out so much: Moodymann @ Cutloose, Manchester 2010. That also had a few instances of the music going off because Moody's tunes were too scratched. And he was getting on the mic and chatting to the crowd, which I usually hate but it worked. I
getting me through friday nicely, thanks. moodymann :D what a joker! comes across really great - top tunes all the way - never caught him live yet... on teh to do list

You should definitely do it. And avoid a big venue: it needs to be somewhere intimate. I've only caught him at that Cutloose night which was proper! And twice at festivals he's not turned up :facepalm:
 
I've heard him at Plastic People and he was awesome, but he was also brilliant at a roller disco I went to in Vauxhall, in which he brought over a team of roller dancers from Detroit who put all us amateurs to shame. He also had a cohort of female bodyguards in the booth with him like he was Colonel Gadaffi. Strange but amazing night!

Venison on The Bashy Beats Show

162b429433bb4de7dea364530f97398b.jpg


We are delighted to present a guest House mix from Venison for the Bashy Beats Show. Co-founder of forward thinking label Heresy. Venison has already carved a reputable career within electronic music with releases on Exit, Renegade Hardware, Modern Urban Jazz, Nu Directions, Inperspective Records and more. Now, under this new alias, Venison explores the slower tempos within dance music.

Venison told us “Here’s a mix of favorite tunes from the last 10 years. This mix could have gone on for hours so it’s just a slice of the Venison Record box.”

Listen to the mix now here - one for the house heads!

That roller disco sounds amazing. Was it about the same time as he did the Red Bull Music Academy interview? He has some female bodyguards types on that and it's all a bit crazy.

Well worth a watch. The man is clearly bonkers.

I never knew that was were the sample came from! Assume you're talking about Perc here?

That Manchester mix you listened to was sampled on a tune as well: Oliver $ - Doing Ya Thing

Just Moodymann taking over a simple house beat and baseline. S'not bad.
 
Surgeon ambient mix from Free Rotation festival:
https://soundcloud.com/dynamic-tens...d.com/dynamic-tension/surgeonfreerotation2013
It was a rare treat to be asked to perform an ambient set at Freerotation 2013 so I decided to present a selection of classic chill-out room favorites alongside newer gems.
No dreary industrial drones, just colourful, uplifting psychedelia.
It was like entering an alternate reality going through the small door into the Yurt structure which hosted the chill out room at Freerotation with rugs & cushions on the floor and oil lamp projections.
To hear the sound more clearly I decided to perform my set sat on the floor in front of the speakers instead of behind them as a DJ normally does. Sat in a meditation posture with my spine straight gave me a serene, calm feeling during the whole set. Also, it felt more inclusive to be sat with the audience, facing the same direction to enjoy the music together with them.
