Different continents, different timezones, a parallel universe, nothing can even get close standing in the way of DJ Neoteric‘s dedication.

Pie in the Sky

It’s Just a Ride
If you have a penchant for heavy rave music, Aerotronic has to be the thing for you. These young upstarts are probably one of Belgium’s best kept secrets when it comes down to it. I first came across these boys when they had their first release on Monkey see Monkey do and was instantly a […]

This is Not a Love Song
Except for the not so subtle cowbell, Proxy‘s Vibrate still sounds like good old Proxy.

You’re Never Over
One of my favourite things to happen to my inbox, next to receiving sweet messages from friends and family or strange BBC articles along the lines of “Prince opens new shop” and “Condoms ‘too big’ for Indian men” are definitely the good old Sound Pellegrino head-ups.

My most played tracks have been all about wobbly beats and crazy percussion recently. I suppose it has something to do with the prospects of upcoming heatstrokes but I’ve been craving for happy music as of late. Lewis CanCut‘s new EP Neon Saxaphone has proven to be something that is well worth having on repeat while […]
