Movement

Here's some dubby techno goodness by DeepChord's Rod Modell. According to Discogs, 350 copies of Movement were originally pressed in 2003 and another 60 copies were reissued in 2006, so this 12" is tough to come by. Keep your eyes peeled for a copy - all four mixes are super heady delights.

Bits & Pieces 93.5

Here's another gem from the collection DJ Image discovered earlier this month. I'm used to seeing Bits & Pieces disco mixes, so this underground house and hip-hop 12" cames as a surprise. Both mixes are killer, so here are files of both the "razor side" and "bladed side:"

Pittsburgh Track Authority in Philly

On Saturday, January 5, there's a special PTA meeting at Medusa Lounge in Philly! The Pittsburgh Track Authority is going to teach us how the other side (of Pennsylvania) goes 2am strong! Their tracks, like, "Untitled," "Now's Tomorrow," & "Crosstown Blvd," have been getting serious play at Hurrah in 2012. Now I'm super stoked to kick off 2013 with their Philadelphia debut! This is going to be a crazy night in the rave cave, so let's go 2am strong & beyond with the PTA!!!


My jam...

Plus free downloads...

Rise Up

Here's another track from Baltimore, by Charm City house staple Patrick Turner. Rise Up is a percussion heavy number ideal for layering.

Give Me The Beat

For this post, we're gonna step out of the bedroom and into the big room. The words "big room" are often a turn off, but Chris Lum's flip of Keep On Jumpin gives this a classic DJ Sneak style flavor. Have a listen:

Don't get me wrong, Gwen's vocals are fantastic, but so is Larry Levan's dub.

Gimme Groove

The homie DJ Image hooked me up with a handful of 12"s to rip, including this joint, so it's going to be a good week on DBJ. Stay tuned.

Not a huge Universal Robot Band fan, but I thought I'd rescue this from a dollar bin for the jammers.
