Danceblogga lists a very strong selection of important LPs of electronic music. If you have Spotify, I recommend to add all of those you can find to a single playlist and press play. Pure bliss for a day or two.
“I’ve compiled a list of my 30 “D’essential” long-players of the e-music era, which I define as roughly 1989 to now. I use 1989 as a starting point because it marks the rave explosion in England and the largely British ideal that electronic dance music could transcend the 12-inch and master the album format.”

Trainspotter’s heaven:
“Ever been to a club and heard a DJ drop a great record that afterwards you were desperate to name? Or ever listened to a DJ mix and felt compelled to track down that bomb from 00.15.36? Yes, we have too. That’s why we’ve decided to launch a brand new Track ID section on Beatportal, which we’re calling BeatDetect.”

Way Out West about their upcoming album name:
“Yep, we’ve got one. And it is..’We Love Machine’. Mix downs still going very well, there is an end in sight. There’ll be a Youtube promo up of one of the tracks in the next couple of weeks so we’ll let you know once it’s ready to go. The footage will be filmed at Nick’s show at Babalou Brixton on the 7th Feb.”

”In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box Jack boldy declared,
Let there be HOUSE!
and house music was born.”
IT’S SUPER JACK !!!.

Lately I’ve been listening a lot of “Best of 2008” mixes. What’s been a very positive surprise, is that they contain many many tracks of which I haven’t heard anything during 2008.
If several DJs rate dozens of unknown tracks (unknown to me, at least) as their Best of 2008, what does it tell?
Rather than getting depressed of not listening enough music or finding those tracks in time, I’m feeling excited. Today it’s easier than ever to play your unique sound, find tracks of which nobody has ever heard and play them the whole year and still they are unique tracks for someone.
It also tells that there’s just SO much music to crawl into. Why would anyone still stick to tracks released only during the past two weeks or browse through Beatport’s TOP 10 sales charts? It just feels more meaningless than ever.
Is this how Long Tail affects DJing?
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…
Jack moves to Redrum and kick-starts the spring season this Saturday with handful of frrresh Helsinki-based house jocks.
Jack is also part of Helsinki Techno City which combines the clubs of Mr.A, Lil’Tony, Eliot Ness and DJ Orkidea under one roof.
Check the event details from Klubitus or Facebook and join the dance on Saturday.
P.S. Mark your calendar for Super Jack, 21.03.2009…
Mä oon yrittänyt olla alun hip-hop-vuosien jälkeen vähän avarakatseisempi eri tekniikoiden suhteen. Soitin aikanaan puritaanisesti ainoastaan 12-tuumaisia vinyyleitä, jotka oli painettu Amerikoissa, enkä mitään muuta. Mulle DJ-touhussa ei nykyisin ole väliä millä soitan, vaan mitä mä soitan.
