Where? Copenhagen Skatepark, Copenhagen, Denmark When? July 30 – August 1 Web trailerparkfestival.com/ Running a festival must be a tough job. Unless you provide a sharp lineup or a clear profile, there isn’t much chance that your project will gain any traction. Fortunately, there seems to be a lot of festivals popping up around here [...]

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 [...]

I find it hard to say anything truly original about Renaissance Man. They’re releasing great track, but you probably already knew that. It’s hardly original anymore to be yet another blog on the block to laud their latest efforts to push our perception of house just a little bit. Yet I feel like I somehow [...]

The Rundown: Sound Pellegrino

Coming as a surprise-attack when we least expected it, Sound Pellegrino became one of 2009′s most celebrated labels. As Teki Latex initially stated when creating the label, the point was to take the best from french house’s tradition for banging, over-the-top tracks and mash it up with a Berlin-inspired minimal approach. The result was a [...]

The Rundown: Renaissance Man

If you had told me a year ago that the hottest thing on the fidget/midget/whatever-minimal stage would be a Finnish duo who took their name from more than 500 year old principles, I would never had believed you. Imagine my surprise when the first singles started showing up on Sound Pellegrino (more on them later), [...]

If I can’t make it to Berlin, I’ll give NYC a shot. Admittedly, it’s a little farther away, but music-wise it sounds equally cool. So if a mental trip to Berlin is done with a Renaissance Man edit of a local bar-anthem, a New York trip has to involve some disco. Given that he’s going [...]

I’ve spent most of my week dreaming of Berlin’s golden streets, so what would be more natural than celebrating Friday with what I’ve learned is a Berlin anthem. Reliable sources tell me that this track is what made Bar 25 erupt this summer. Although we’re not quite there, try to loose yourself in the balkan-inspired [...]

Canto Della Kalimba

Renaissance Man spins some solid jams this year. Delivering rhythm & Pellegrino bop they seem to be pretty much untouchable. A Bootcut Edit of Canto Della Kalimba just adds to that. Slightly more percussive and less techno inspired, this is a fun house jam if you’re into african vocals. Get ready to loose yourself in [...]

After amazing me with What is Guru, Renaissance Man now return to show us all why they’re the talk of the town. I owe a lot to Pelski for this one, and if you enjoy the Sound Pellegrino team, you should definitely check out his rundown. Whether or not fidget is dead or still kicking, [...]

A thump and a whoop

I actually meant to post something completely different today, since I’ve been listening to disco edits all day. Then, I decided to play a game of blogger’s catch-up meaning that I’m going to post tracks that peaked about two weeks ago. I don’t know why I ignored Renaissance man when they first surfaced. The ordinary [...]
