You know those super jolly people who roam the city streets holding a cardboard sign saying “FREE HUGS”? The ones who seem like they haven’t bathed since their baptism, who clearly have nothing better to do other than spread bed bugs to strangers on the street? No, not the ones who give you a hug [...]
While going through tracks for today’s Beatport Find of the Week, I fell asleep twice. Now, I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been a sleepless vampire or because of the fecal fest that was released this past week on Beatport. I wish I was kidding, really. Hey Beatport, I’m ready to volunteer the rest [...]
When Wednesday rolls around, I know it’s time to buckle down for at least 4 hours and start sifting through new releases.

I’ve been fighting what feels like some new form of the Bubonic plague all week. At some point during my weekly 2-hour sift through Beatport’s new releases I actually had to touch my ears and make sure they weren’t bleeding and then this happened: The dark bass cradled me in its arms while the soft [...]
If you’re feeling nostalgic but don’t want to lose grip of the present, this one’s for you. The German trio, Les Loups, released “Side to Side” on Umalu Recordings on September 23rd.
