So now when I started writing about the remixes, I felt obliged to do my homework and give the original a listen. Have to say, I did my best, but barely noticed it ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2009/05/15/ben-watt-guinea-pig-remixes-by-dj-koze-m.a.n.d.y.-smallboy/ Abicah Soul - ASR-0029 Abicah Soul (apparently a one-man-show by DJ Stax) first came around with a self-titled EP on Wha? Roots at the time when the afro-latin sound was just becoming popular in house. The record nailed it with all the tracks on the EP. And it makes me glad ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2009/03/27/abicah-soul-makossa/ Via Versatile blog: Etienne Jaumet's album "Night Music" will get a remix/re-interpretation by Carl Craig. It's supposed to see release in September this year and will include 5 tracks, including a track of 22 minutes' duration. Both guys being regulars on this blog, this is definitely intriguing news. As for the ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2009/03/20/carl-craig-to-remix-etienne-jaumet/ Google that and you most probably will NOT find out that actually there's a cool club night by that name happening in Tallinn. It will take place this Friday at Club Angel, and the main guest this time is Giles Smith of Secretsundaze fame. Also, P Julm (known as a ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2009/03/11/get-fucked/ The fact that we haven’t been posting much recently doesn’t mean that we are not listening to new music. I already previously mentioned an experiment with Tumblr, now we have attached a Delicious bookmark feed on the right of the page. It points (mostly) to Juno releases where you can ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2009/03/10/its-alive/ So we're actually trying out another format of doing this. If you read Estonian, you can check the experiment out here: fijiama.tumblr.com Basically, we're thinking "shorter, but more frequent", without cutting back on the priceless literary value of the posts. Your feedback is welcome. For now, I'll leave you with a ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/10/30/radio-silence/ Rekids - REKIDS 029 I will pretend as if the radio silence never happened. Shh… Please – if you haven’t already – give a listen to this and try not to pee your pants. And if you do – welcome to the club. Apparently, the track is produced by two NY guys, ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/09/09/runaway-brooklyn-club-jam/ Innervisions - IV 16 There’s one obvious choice for you. The Laurent Garnier record has already received enough buzz without me adding to it. However, I have decided to ignore this fact and talk about it anyway. Sue me. So the story is that Dixon was playing with Laurent Garnier at Panorama ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/05/30/laurent-garnier-back-to-my-roots-ep/ Sonar Kollektiv - SK170CD This little gem is something for you to start your weekend with - a perfectly orchestrated version of the nu-trance anthem that whisked Âme and the Innervisions gang up into hype heaven. Pizzicato strings take over the melody that all the office geeks with bags under their ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/05/23/sonar-kollektiv-orchester-%e2%80%93-rej-from-guaranteed-niceness-cd/ It’s been quite slow lately music-wise, or maybe that’s just me (probably…). Some of the tunes that have caught my ear have been the DJ Bone “No Sleep” record (featured in Little White Earbuds) or the Nick Holder “Time” remixes (I’m thinking Manuel Tur rather than Wahoo). But as long as ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/05/11/...-the-past-isnt-through-with-us/
