April Mix: Somewhat Familiar

I’ve found it hard to come up with something to post lately. With the amount of fantastic tracks surfacing in the first half of april, it seems that my quota was simply used up. So, what do you do? You spend some time sewing together all your favorites from April (and whatever else you may [...]

Up The Aurehill

When I bought my mixing gear, I made a promise to myself that I would record something within two weeks. Although I didn’t make that deadline (today is day 16), I’ve managed to sew together some straight-forward house for you to enjoy. I know it’s a bit rough on the ears, but I’ll do my [...]

Recently, I’ve been spending some time trying to absorb the dubstep/house fusion happening all around me. While I haven’t been very successful yet, I’ve dug enough to get a decent idea of what’s going on. Though it’s a fun journey to be on alone, it’s always nice to see someone sharing my love for genre-crossing. [...]

Mosca heads to the BBQ

It’s a bit strange to post an event promo mix the day after the event went down. Although this mix will not make you head to the BBQ night at Poland’s Osrodek nightclub, you’ll most likely still get a decent musical experience. If you had been to Osrodek yesterday, you would have bumped into Mosca [...]

I’m writing a couple of semi-late reviews of the releases that have rocked my headphones recently. If you haven’t become tired of seeing these releases turned into eloquent prose, read on. When Scuba releases a mix named after his Berghain night, you know you’re in for a treat. For many of us, I would imagine [...]

If this is house

I’ve lost track of the many dubstep offsprings by now. I’ve lost track of their influences, their middle grounds, their attempts to breed new genres from well-known genes. I still know one thing, though. They’re one of the most exciting things in music right now. Nobody symbolizes this evolution better than Martyn. While I have [...]

A renaissance is coming

I don’t usually post promo mixes on here, simply because they always carry that “look at us, we’re going somewhere” tag. That may just be my regrettable jealousy shining through, although I think mixing just for the sake of tooting your own horn becomes a little dull. Occasionally, though, people pull it off. I’ve made [...]

Julio Bashmore

If the internet hadn’t existed, Julio Bashmore would probably have made dubstep. That’s of course a major generalization, but seeing that he’s the first house producer I’ve heard emerge from the Bristol scene, I don’t think it’s all that unlikely. So, has he listened to bass music? Definitely. Although he doesn’t fit the conventional deep [...]

George Fitzgerald

So, it’s finally time for one of the artists who will come to dominate 2010. I’m of course talking about Joy Orbison’s new protege on his Doldrums label, George Fitzgerald. He has already made some noise in Jah Pat‘s recent mix and dropped some previews on Soundcloud. Now, he finally drops something you can carry [...]

Exclusive Savile mixes

Remember when I stated that finding more solid mixes was one of my new year’s resolutions for 2010? Well, Savile was nice enough to give me a helping hand in keeping up that resolution and promptly sent over some fresh mixes exclusively for Going Other Places (nice, huh?). If his name sounds familiar it’s most [...]
