This Is The Season Of Not Being Arsed . . .

. . .with anything really. A temporary, unplanned hiatus has befallen me, and at the moment things are moving very slowly indeed. Still, some reviews for Resident Advisor are in the pipeline, as is an email interview with Siteholder supremo Daniel Mnookin. Meanwhile, here are some links to a few recent mixes I've been listening to.

Ernie PersonalDeeperMix Summer 2009

A while ago I reviewed 'Deeptical Tracks' by Ernie. Ernie is part of a new wave of Iberian talent, making it's presence felt on the globe's discerning dancefloors. The EP's name might have sounded a bit contrived, but the production talent is very evident. Ernie heads
Minuendo Records, a Spanish label that has already attracted the likes of Jus' Ed and Patrice Scott, amomgst others, to its roster. Their next release is a various artists EP called 'The Deepfathers' and is as good a representation of the current deep house sound as it gets. This is summer music so, as we bask in a heatwave (certainly in the UK, maybe it's just par for the course everywhere else), here's a link to downbload a mix Ernie sent me a link to.
