Sniffing out the best new music
Gold from Sydney based Australian artist Jessica Nitties AKA 'Sparrows' - uplifting stuff to say the least. This was my first tune I've found through The Hype Machine and I'm extremely glad I persevered on my search through the heaps of stuff on that platform. 'Do you wanna Dance' opens with an intriguing, brooding and... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I've put a pure house groover up on the site. Locked Groove, the German producer, has forced my hand this time with his brilliant piano led oldschool house hit 'Do Not Freak'. It would be rude to bypass this little gem which is nestled in his new album 'Sunset Service'.... Continue Reading →
Completely Lekker Lekker here from Berlin-based Dubliners Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith (Lakker). What type of sorcery is this? 'A Whisper In Your Ear' is the end product, in my opinion, of their decade of working together on their own genre the aptly named - Techno not Techno. Not all will be into this one...

Hailing from Galloway, in the South-West of Scotland, these two mates Stuart Ramage and Roan Ballintine are doing rightly these days! I came into contact with them recently and enjoyed their take on commercially based music. It was 'Positive' I heard a few months ago and I put them on the backburner in lieu of... Continue Reading →
A tune nestled extremely high in BIRP's estimates we pounce on from Ontario's Jaguar Sun. I came across this on SoundCloud a few days ago and it has rightfully commanded a constant shuffle since.

There is nothing complicated and brash to be heard here, a simple slow-rolling... Continue Reading →

Blaring out uniquely manic sounds, they are a must see if you get the chance. An exciting sound is always welcome... Continue Reading →
This lad broke through a good few years ago with some pure class reworks using samples of well known chart hits. Songs like 'Drowning in You' and 'Cheated' were tunes I used to play in my shed with the gang over, to a curious and on the whole, positive reaction. Pascäal had the touch back... Continue Reading →
Larry Heard was one of the best original Chicago producers back in the vibrant beginning of house music. He turns 60 next year but it still producing absolute gold-dust. He recently released his first full length Mr Fingers album in over 25 years. He is an inspiration to any upcoming music maker. Imagine your grandad... Continue Reading →
Sheffield’s Matt Relton (Kidnap Kid) is a stalwart on the London Club scene. I suppose I better call him ‘Kidnap’, now since he has changed his name and all that jazz, but how and ever. ‘Birds that Fly’ is such a relaxing production from Relton and has been on our playlists for a good long...
