A wicked little video from Bugge Wesseltoft & Henrik Schwarz + a podcast from Soul Clap...

Music lovers will appreciate this...

Bugge Wesseltoft & Henrik Schwarz at Dancity Festival 2010 from dancity on Vimeo.




The Boston-bred duo provide a soundtrack of mellow grooves for the end of summer.

Get the ladies on the dance floor, and the rest will follow. It's a simple rule. But Soul Clap's Charles Levine and Eli Goldstein understand it better than most. Although funk and jazz were the pair's first respective musical loves, they found a common passion in searching out disco, house and techno records at Boston's Vinyl Connection store, where they were schooled by resident disco connoisseur Caril Mitro.

Itzamna and Airdrop were early supporters, but it's their ongoing hook-up with the Wolf + Lamb crew that was the duo's real tipping point, culminating in a series of edits that housed up the likes of Fleetwood Mac, R. Kelly and Stevie Wonder, which have become staples in their DJ sets. Recently, the duo have released their Action/Satisfaction EP on Crosstown Rebels following a tequila-fuelled session at Damian Lazarus' Los Angeles abode, and when they're not in the studio, they're busy either touring the globe, or in Berlin where they've recently taken up residence.

Roy Matthews (Vinyl Factory) Interview

After I had a lot of good feedback on my how vinyl is made post, I thought I'd hit you with a little knowledge. I found this interview by Chris Tubbs with Roy Mattews on vinyl plants....

Roy Matthews is a legend in the field of vinyl record production, an engineer who’s spirited passion for vinyl is literally mapped into the tireless, steaming presses that produce the finest records in the UK at Vinyl Factory, the ex EMI pressing plant just outside London.

Roy’s been working in his field for 45 years; it’s probably fair to say that what the man doesn’t know about vinyl production isn’t worth knowing. Here we talk about what makes a great pressing, Roy dispenses some great advice to young label upstarts and I get a tour of the factory. Enjoy!

Some Interesting Reads, Views and Audio....

Roland have announced the arrival of a new model in their Juno range, the JUNO-Gi.



Following in the hallowed footsteps of the 106, 6 and 60, the JUNO-Gi comes sporting 1300 on board sounds, an eight-track digital recorder and a built-in audio interface. Roland are leaning heavily on the idea of this being a "mobile synthesizer" and as such have built the Gi with a lightweight body and battery-power compatibility. Other key features include on-board effects, "tone category" buttons for sound library navigation and 192 hours worth of recording time thanks to a SDHC card slot. A copy of the Cakewalk Sonar 8.5 LE software also comes bundled with the package.

Roland will release the Juno-Gi in October, 2010 at a recommended retail price of $1,199.

A few videos of Kink in the studio...
