194 / Seconds / Welcome To The Machine
Seconds is the alter ego of Markus Enochson and Luciano Leiva. Together with singer Linus Lutthi they release their first single for the Above Machine label, “Another Day” today (Monday), a folk-based balearic number.
193 / London Club Playlists / 004 / Le Beat Route
Le Kilt was small and on a Tuesday night, but inspired by its success, Ollie O`Donnell, an old friend of Sullivan`s, and Steve Mahoney, start a Friday night party at the larger Le Beat Route.
192 / Phil Mison / Live AT LN-CC
We were lucky enough to get down to LN-CC in Dalston the other week for a bit of a sit down session with Phil Mison in control of the music all night. Starting slow and building up it was a lovely night with the music as you’d expect being top notch. LN-CC postewd the first...
191 / London Club Playlists / 003 / Le Kilt
If St Moritz was a short-lived knee-jerk reaction to the Futurism of The Blitz and Hell somewhere in between then Le Kilt seems to be an attempt to re-dress the balance. Claw back some sanity. At least on a musical front. Hosted again by Chris Sullivan, this time with Graham Ball, and with the “St...
190 / London Club Playlists / 002 / Hell
St Moritz closes, possibly due to the influence of Soho`s nefarious underworld, possibly because it had served its purpose, in providing a musical alternative to The Blitz.
189 / London Club Playlists / 001 / St Moritz
One of the good things about having been buying records for a long time is that you amass what can only be described as a library (one of the bad things is of course that records end up everywhere, your greed conspicuous). Tons of stuff that has been filed away and not listened to in...
188 / Finger Magazine / Come To Marina Del Rey II
Back once again comes Honey K from Finger Magazine with a mix for us. We wrote about them before but if you missed it they have a magazine full of lists of music to check and a great website so if you haven’t seen what it’s all about go here. Watch out for the first...
187 / PRODUCERS SERIES #17 / LEE “SCRATCH” PERRY
Dr Rob goes in heavy on Lee “Scratch” Perry and can’t fail… When I was a youth, reggae was the thing. I was 15 in 1981 and the Brixton riots were just around the corner, instead of thirty years ago. While at school, we went from Two Tone to toasting pretty fast. UB40 quickly ditched...
186 / Joe’s Bakery / Mix!
Happy to have Joe’s Bakery on board at Test Pressing with a mix to finish off Sunday and ease you into the week. Joe’s Bakery is a Leeds based party that have been quietly getting on with doing a good thing and is run by Craig Christon & Joe Gill. The idea behind the night...
185 / Rune Lindbæk / Mariupol Mix
It’s always nice to get a mix from Rune Lindbæk and this one is as good as ever taking in the brand new, and pretty special, mix of Joakim by Todd Terje, an unreleased Idjut Boys mix of Keren Ann’s ‘My Name Is Trouble’, the Toby Tobias mix of Hardway Brothers and some Arthur Russell...
184 / Balearic Mike / Live At Vinyl Dream Launch Party
Alright. Here’s that rare thing – a balearic party mix. I love a mellow one, as we all do, but its nice to hear a DJ in party mode and here’s Balearic Mike live and direct (well not live live) from the Vinyl Dreams launch party, San Francisco on the 18th of June in 2011....
183 / Alexis Le-Tan / When Sound Becomes Colour
Alexis Le-Tan has been into ‘this’ music for a long time now. His mixes have appeared on Lovefingers, Noise In My Head and Beats In Space and he has also released the Space Oddities compilations and various other edits over the years. He also runs a very fine creative agency based in Paris by the...
182 / Hardway Bros / ALFOS Equinox Mix
Always good to welcome Sean Johnston / Hardway Bros back to the fold. Here he is with a great mix of lowdown, and sometimes dubby, house and disco business. Sean throws the A Love From Outer Space parties with Andrew Weatherall and they have a pretty big party coming up on Easter weekend at Corsica...
181 / Tiago / Test Press Mix
We asked Tiago for a mix a long time back and here it is. Recorded and selected at home in the company of friends its one of those where he just goes as he chooses. You can hear Tiago in club mode here but the mix below is for your iPod ears. The man himself...
180 / Balearic Social / First Birthday Mix
Andy Pye is the man behind Balearic Social, a one man balearic machine. He is far better than us at getting in touch with people and he’s getting results. His radio show is going from strength-to-strength and has had many guests since he last did a mix for us including The Seahawks, Jolyon Green, Sally...
