It’s about bloody time! Apologies if you’ve been waiting a tad long for the new mix. I’ve been too busy/lazy/uninspired/tired to get something new out. But here it is, 29- a nice smooth ride that starts with an amazing new track by Chilly Gonzales, goes into a chirpy lovey peak, and ends off with a melancholic Portishead icing. It just happens!

Oh don’t forget Poptart this weekend!

Local techno spartan Norman Chung just put out a new mixtape called Descendants Of The Dragon, and it features tracks from some of the best techno artists we’ve known. The mix is filled with currents and classics from techno gods Carl Craig, Ben Sims, Joris Voorn, Stacey Pullen, DJ Bone and UR. The sneaky bastard even squeezed in one of his own tracks

Listen to it. It’s fantastic pumping stuff- how techno should be.

Hello! It’s about time Blake Baxter asked ‘ what happened?’. I’ve been asking myself the same thing lately, and at the same time, feeling good ole house getting back into my veins. If you didn’t know, Abstract Relations had a strong house/tech influence when I put out my first mixes in 2004 (I should reup those!)

So here’s a mix I’ve done with some recent finds. Hope you can feel it like i feel it.

Happy Holidays!

I have to admit, inspiration for new mixes have been dry of late. I’ve been finding it so difficult to get turned on by  new stuff. Here’s something i managed to compile for a mix, it’s spacey discoey and groovy…I think it’s good for a mild shakin’ boogie; and the final track by Sally Shapiro- that’s pure bliss and i had to put it in! Let’s hope for more outstanding releases soon, I need!
