Aftermath

Big shouts to everyone who came to see me at Bloc Weekend. It was good fun as always to play there and great to meet the UR & Model 500 guys, sneak into Salt N Pepa's dressing room, dance hard to Matt Whitehead, Bass Junkie & Dexorcist, and chill out with various friends old and new.

The music poll reveals that you most want to hear Old School Electro, followed closely by Detroit Techno and New Wave/Synth Pop. Then clearly behind but popular were Rave, Chicago House, and Disco/Boogie.

Personally sad to see funk and soul so low down the list and amazed to see European & UK house & techno so far down as well - none of you like Aphex Twin? Luke Slater? Mike Dred? Baby Ford? Shiver?

I've decided to mostly ignore the results on the basis that if you give the people what they want when they want then their brains shrink. If you don't like funk then you just haven't heard enough James Brown records yet! Podcast 17 is almost ready and will contain lots of music you didn't vote for, but after that I'll play load of old electro for y'all.

Sixteen

Here's the sixteenth show where you can hear mostly freestyle and Detroit techno.
Do hope you love it.
I've still got a big list of records that I want to play you but I'd be interested to know what you lot are most interested in as well so please vote in my poll!

Ceephax

OK I feel a bit guilty using this blog for advertising but have you heard the new Ceephax Acid Crew album? It's called "United Acid Emirates" and it's the best album I've heard in literally years. Do go and check it out.
To celebrate (cash in) I have ordered a very limited vinyl repress of Breakin' Records BRK52 which is an EP of Ceephax's best tracks from his Breakin' EPs. So get it while you can from all good record stores!

Podcast 16 is on the way soon....

Fifteen - Studio Special

This time the show is a bit different. Instead of listening to records, we take a trip to my studio and make a track on some old synths and stuff in under 90 minutes. Hopefully this is interesting to some of you, let me know in the comments and feel free to ask questions about what's going on.

Normal service will be resumed next time.

I just updated my website, www.dmxkrew.com and added lots of audio for you to check. On the downloads page there's a brand new live set from last month in Germany and lots of other DJ mixes and live sets, some of which you might have missed, all free downloads.
So check it out, enjoy the free stuff and then go and buy some MP3s or vinyl so I can keep eating :D

Thirteen

Unlucky for some, Episode 13 features a lot of old Chicago house, mostly of the acid variety, plus some Detroit techno and some electro from wherever.
