One of my favorite old school rave traxxx!

The Infinite Wheel are James Johnstone (formerly of Pigbag, known for their funky cover of James Brown, “Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag”) and Mark Smith. “Lake of Dreams” originally came out on Underworld’s Tomato label and was re-released on R&S.

Bouncing basslines over breakbeats and dreamy strings made this tune one of the more memorable of the day (so memorable, I couldn’t remember the name of the song without the assistance of Mr. GoTearItUp-Thanks again Marty!). ->BUY

Today’s select is in honor of the birth of my daughter, Onjali Marie!

Welcoming her into the world is Isao Tomita’s synthtastic version of the timeless,”Claire De Lune”. French for “moonlight”, Claire De Lune is the title of  the third movement of Claude Debussy’s piano suite, Suite bergamasque and a depiction of  the poem by Paul Verlaine.

First issued as a promo only 7″(the year of my  birth), it’s also included on Tomita’s first album, “Dancing With Snowflakes” and widely available on various comps and soundtracks. ->BUY (7″)

Thanks to Stevian for having me back and to all who tuned in live. For those that missed it, here’s my set, complete with tracklisting. Sorry for the recent lack of posts, but life has been hectic (in a good way) and in about another week you’ll see why. Enjoy:

I’ve been doing a lil research on Detroit’s own Electrifying Mojo and came upon this Thomas Dolby gem. “Get On Out of My Mix” is basically an instrumental cut up of two of Dolby’s hits, “She Blinded Me With Science and “Europa and The Pirate Twins”, both off his first album, “The Golden Age of Wireless”. This is the “Special Dub Version” which means less words and more beats. Fun to dj with and loads of sample opportunities. Super drawn out explanations of how many versions of this song are out there, HERE. Very reasonable prices, BUY->

I’ll be guest djing tonight along with Derrick Scott (dobox recordings) and host Stevian on Electronic Generation. Tune in from 7:30-10:30 pm (Pacific Standard time)
