Music People ahoy! Our main man Dj Anonymous put together this awesome journey of Dance music, together with fresh like damn Finnish label Kojac Giant SOunds. Jus LISTEn, it´s awesome.

DJ Anonymous - WKGS by Kojak Giant Sounds™

Damn, he got records.

Arttu aka Lump feat Jerry the Cat

Arttu aka Lump (from Finland) would be jamming in his Lisbon studio with Detroit's Jerry the Cat! These tracks are the perfect first collaboration between Arttu, Jerry the Cat and Clone records!! Playful and funky old schoolish house tracks with the joyfull vocals of Mr Cat all recorded during some live sessions in Lisbon where they both reside. Arttu went back to some intuitive drum programming for these live sessions and made simple funky drum machine patterns around nice hypnotic basslines. Vocals and additional percussion still have some of that live feel after the tracks have been arranged and mixed. Enjoy!!

Legends # 2: Larry Levan.

When talking about legends of house music, one can´t deny that Larry Levan is one of the biggest inspirators for the whole industry. I decide not to write few lines of gibberish you have propably read a thousand times instead you should listen Larry Levan tribute - Legends of dance music series from BBC -radio. Enjoy

All of us Dj´s hate when people come asking a tune. Damn that irritates me, but there is a cool way to do it also. Check out this page, where dj´s allarount the world post this small requests.

What i do is usually store the request notes on the vinyl sleeves to the recrd is playing when the request comes in. Have to go diggin´then.
