Solid Steel (30th August) Coldcut presents 2 Hours of Sanity Pt. 1 Love - This is Part 1 in a new Coldcut series of mixes.

The mind map lists the bases we want to cover, and some part of the links between our lifelong music experience and the electronic scene of today.  It's partly about playing with the interface between DJ mixes of other peoples tunes, and producer/studio mixes creating original tunes. Using micro slicing and multi threading of material, with an ear for the magic moment of harmonic mix beauty and eye for mix aptness. 
The project is also about celebrating the history of musical experimentation, featuring innovators ancient to the future. Using spoken word from Sun Ra's Arkestra as a leitmotif, it's a tribute from Coldcut to some of the artists we feel have both moved us and changed the game.
You can catch Matt Black from Coldcut celebrating 25 years of Solid Steel alongside DJ Cheeba at We Love in Ibiza on 1st September.

BBC RADIO 1 ESSENTIAL MIX (SEPTEMBER 2021)

For this edition of my House music producer mix series, I'm thrilled to focus on another Motor City native: Rick Wade. The man behind Harmonie Park Records has long been hailed an underground hero and the producer's producer. I think with this mix you will see why. This is one of my favorites!

Rick Wade - Contact 
Rick Wade - I Feel Good 
Rick Wade - Prime Time
 Rick Wade - Pulsation Killer
 Rick Wade - Forgotten Track

Wicket Keepah Vol. 2

NEW! 29 track compilation, out right now, first 90 downloads are FREE...

https://dan-f.bandcamp.com/album/volume-two-2000-2009

One phrase to sum up this entire package:

"It felt like a good idea at the time."

Dan F goes dumpster diving (again) and comes up smiling with this collection of gems. Some released, some not, some remixes, some collabs, some demos which morphed into other/better songs, some musical idea that probably should have been aborted and definitely not uploaded to the internet. Be careful what you wish for.

Volume Three coming *soon* (pffff yeah who am I kidding... 2025 at the absolute earliest).

NOTE: I have 91 followers on Bandcamp so the first 90 downloads of this compilation are FREE. After that it'll cost something?

Many thanks to the following people ...

Volume Two (2000-2009)

Dan F & Meat Katie "My Time" (2004)

This set was first performed on January 1st 2024 in San Francisco at the Breakfast of Champions block party on the Space Cowboys main stage.

A RE:CONSTRUCTED set is a *long* way removed from a standard DJ set. It's a live/hybrid set.

Simon takes hundreds of tracks from his huge library, painstakingly deconstructs them (using Ai if needed to separate elements from the original tracks), and then pieces everything back together to create a hugely emotive and immersive musical story.

He uses Ableton Live and multiple controllers to trigger up to 16 individual channels of audio at any one time during the performance, and also performs live keyboard overdubs. The end result is a hugely addictive, compulsive and compelling blend of music that's often new, often familiar but always utterly unique.

Thanks for all the love on this set 🙏 Out of it came a full track — Bell Tolls (Revamped).

Hope you enjoy the ride.
