It's All A Circus

Ever since i heard Brabe's remix of Flying Lotus' Breathe, i've been the biggest fan of this young producer. Now he's taken a track originally by the great J Dilla and made it into the most pleasant chill out track. Doesn't get any better

Happening...

Legendary South African Superclub, celebrates its 10th Birthday will a 24hr dance festival. Make sure you there to experience the insanity.

Eiszauber

For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, firstly i'd like to acknowledge you and thank you for your continued support of this blog. It seems we're not so different today as the weather in South Africa is wet and miserable. So i've been indulging in a little melancholy and decided to share this intensely awesome minimal track with all of you. This is pure art and it is achieved with such simplicity and restraint that it blows you away. It's a joint banger by Solomun and the highly talented Stimming. Enjoy it

Organo Scuro

Now here's a grimy little tech number that is probably the soundtrack to all my underground clubbing fantasies. I imagine walking into Truth with no one worried about clothing, out-jamming each other and being totally immersed in the intensity of the music. Its just a fantasy but hey I'll keep dreaming. This soundtrack is brought to you by Hermanez And Ramon Tapia.

Numb Wrist

This track is sooo old but i've always wanted to put it up here. I remember jamming it when i would only download sets. I remember it from one of the early quality Crookers sets. What a mad tune, combining the talents of Foamo, Will Bailey and Ill Phil. Chunky Fidget

Jack Off Jill

This is way overdue, been selfishly enjoying this, South African fidget Wunderkid, Mini K has blessed us with an apocalyptic banger that is really on par with some of the stuff Brabe produces. This young gun is one to look out for. Jam it

Crookers

Well I'd written this Italian Duo off, due to their recent noisy and random 'fidget'. The Crookers started off so well with tracks like Just Ghetto, Knobbers and Atomic Baile Boy. Lately however they've been less than impressive. That's why it was so good to hear their latest remix offering, its simple and unpretentious and that's the reason i probably got this track. And while it isn't mind-blowing, it isn't bad, and lets hope its signalling a return to simple good music. Then again this is a Jesse Rose Remix so, maybe he deserves all the credit

Mal-Innit

Malente always manages to surprise me because you can never truly know what to expect from him, whenever i see his name linked to a track i always download it just to be proven wrong. Well he's done it again with this upbeat deep track which has some old school disco leanings, truly stellar track. Perfect for any deep or disco set.

Potato Heads

Ladies and Gentlemen this is a presentation brought to you by the good people at good fidget inc. This track has so much chunky bounce its tiring, it takes me back to a time when i would walk into Natural Groove and immediately know that i would have a good night. The second drop is mind blowing, listen out for it on Hijack's September set, the way he mixes it in, is so insane. This is what musical progression is about, the use of traditional instruments (e.g. Sax and Trumpets) in house music. Go crazy for Potato Heads

Washed Out Disco

Washed out has created what is possibly the most melancholic song ever. This lo-fi disco track is so intensely awesome not only because of the instruments and strung out sounds, but because it induces deep introspection. In my mind, a song has to have some purpose, be it to entertain, soothe, excite etc. and this track meets that requirement, definitely one of my top tracks of 2009
