On his MySpace, LA based DJ and producer Tony Nuccio lists “Paradise Garage in my past life” as his influences. As is apparent in his latest mix, taking the vibe from the seminal New York nightclub into 2010 for Nuccio means deep, driving house grooves with big chords and big vocals.
The mix finishes off with Tony Nuccio’s recent remix of Jill Scott’s Wanna Be Loved. We’re sure the Garage’s patron Larry Levan is smiling from house heaven.
The Rub boys are back again with their weekly installment of hip hop classics. This time around, we’re going deep into the West coast for the years 1991 and -92, before heading back East again for 1993.
DJ Walshy Fire, aka Walshy Killa, is a member of Florida based soundsystem Black Chiney and a purveyor of all things caribbean and rhythm heavy. You’ll find some of his mixtapes on his Let’s mix profile page – and other through the excellent promo services of Riddimstream Marketing.
Walshy’s most recent mixtape Socal 4 is hosted by Trinidad’s soca king Machel Montano and is, in all regards, sensationally summery.
Hastings, England, is probably more known for a great battle about 1000 years ago than its club scene. But judging from Low Kill, a local DJ duo, there’s some good electro house action going on at the Hastings discos too. Low Kill’s latest podcast features tracks from LCD Soundsystem, Tiga and Boys Noize & Erol Alkan. Nuff said!
