I'm a day late here and I'm not really sure why. I've had this mix structured since Tuesday evening and it seemed to slip my mind until this morning. Anyways, I've got a little over a half hour of some excellent minimal house and deep house tracks.
Before I get to the mix, I just wanted to share a video of my favorite Paul Kalkbrenner track, Dockyard. We're all huge fans of Berlin Calling at NslL, especially the soundtrack, so I spent this week digging through Kalkbrenner's past and picked up all four of his albums. I highly recommend Self, his album previous to Berlin Calling, which several tracks have been lifted from and re-edited for the movie / soundtrack. Enjoy.

The Darkness
Seuil's latest release on Freak n Chic, Freak & Violence, is perhaps the most captivating dance track I've heard ever. It's a powerful composition that condemns American values with an extended monologue laid atop dark, somber chords and swells accompanied by a minimal groove. It's fantastic, a night opener that is sure to be heard the world over for months to come.
Freak & Violence as a set opener establishes the tone of the mix; dark, melancholic and evocative.

Track List
Freak & Violence - Seuil
This is Your House - Micha Klang
Never Mind - Falko Brocksieper

New Mix
(where I'm from)
So I thought I'd return from my extended hiatus with a brand new mix. But first, there are a few releases I'm anxiously awaiting.
Balance 015 mixed by Will Saul. We're all familiar with the Balance Series by now so not much to say really except October 19th cannot come soon enough.
Sounds of the Tenth Season. Techno king Sven Vath is back for the tenth annual edition of his series highlighting the best tracks of the past Ibiza season. Last year's disc was excellent and I can only expect more of the same skillful track selection and mixing.
Fabric 48 mixed by Radio Slave. Fabric releases these mix cds every other month and last September's was compiled and spun by Radio Slave. Full of dark and deep tech house, it's a superb mix in the series. Well worth checking out.
This week's mix features some light house and tech tunes, a perfect accompaniment to the cold, rainy and snowy weather those of us in the northeast have been subjected to. The unseasonal climate has drawn me to these soft, melancholic tracks. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Mix
Tracklist
1. GoingEasy - Audio Werner
2. La Balada Tzigana feat. Irina Sierra Bravo (Mike Shannon's Haunted Mix) - Andrea Florito
3. Det - Daso & Pawas
4. Serena - Mirko Loko
Here is a short video interview with Sébastien Léger, a blog favourite. He discusses his shift in style characterized by his releases over the past year and his disdain for electro, which with I agree.
New Stimming EPs! New heavy electro remixes!
Hey. Hey hey hey. Stimming of Diynamic has come out with two new EPs, both brilliant as I'm sure you can imagine.
Seriously, just download these to preview them, then go buy the vinyls or whatever, its worth your money.
If you want something much more energetic, something that has tentatively re-lit my faith in electro, check out these Glitch Mob tracks. Seriously heavy stuff, absolutely brilliant:
Ok gotta study n do stuff i dunno, enjoy!

Music for forgiveness? Not a bad deal.
Wow its been a while since my last post, does anyone even read these any more? Its still a nice exercise in philanthropy, given that the stuff I post is mega genius and you all should have it. I must let it speak for itself though. I've prepared a massive post to make up for my absence, I hope you can forgive me.
Then some nice tech-house to chill to, get pumped with, or stay up late because of;
Allegretto (Hector Couto Remix) - Gary Caos
Overcast - Seulo
The Life Wire - Gregor Thresher (there's a bunch of good tracks from his new album, grab it if you can)
Jazzy Stuff - Neuroxyde, Doomwork
O Superman feat. Laurie Anderson (Audiofly X Remix) - M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade (prominently featured in the great City Lights Vol 3 mixed By Kaiser Souzai)
Toxic Love - Popof
And we close with the jewel of recent music, The Twelves new mix!!! AMAZING! A must have;The Twelfth Hour - The Twelves
Night Vision (Daft Punk cover) - The Twelves
SO I guess this is what I do on this friday night...might as well, it keeps me from drinking while on antibiotics. For the journalistically-minded among you, check out what I do during the day time: Editor's Weblog.
Shout out if you're in Paris and wanna go see some DJs...I think there's some good stuff comin through.
Enjoy!
P.S. I can't wait for this movie:
