I’ve realised that I don’t champion enough new music on here, and just lately I have been overwhelmed by the amount of great stuff there is out there. So, I’ve made a conscious decision to rectify that forthwith.

First up let me present Hardway Bros to you, a wonderful DJ and production duo that have really been floating my boat of late. Their recent mix for Beats in Space with Lord Wetherall is one of the best I’ve heard, and this led me to dig a little further. The pair have released a cool edit on Beard Science and have releases slated for History Clock; a label that first caught my attention with their awesome Woman 12″. Keep an eye out for A Diabolical Liberty which is due to drop soon; a seriously heavy balearic disco chugger. The guys also have a website, Trackwerk, with a glut of strong DJ mixes that you should definitely cast your ears over. The live mix at Disco Bloodbath was a particular fave of mine. Check it out below:

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a great Xmas and New Year. Normal service will be resumed on 6th February now the silly season is over and we took a well earned break.

Producer and DJ, Jacques Renault was a post-punk Washington D.C. native who moved to Chicago in 1997 to continue his studies of viola, but in turn got a serious education in dance music. Tapping into the well established Drum n’ Bass scene, he held a residency at Smart Bar and became a buyer at the legendary Gramaphone Records. This broad, raw exposure to House music lead him straight back to the classics of Disco and to it’s heart, New York City, where he landed in 2002. His distinct sound and ability to gauge his audience has made Jacques a stand-out amongst his peers in the elite, international sphere of electronic music. He has performed everywhere from the Guggenheim’s Art After Dark event to Berlin’s Rio Club – even gracing the pages of Paper Magazine’s 2007 Beautiful People. Recently voted as Best NYC DJ for Paper’s Night Life Awards, Jacques has held residencies at New York’s famed venues Happy Endings and Tribeca Grand while currently hosting a 205 Club party showcasing an impressive line-up of weekly guest DJs. Along with friends at DFA Records, Jacques is pushing the disco conscious sweep into the new dance-punk scene. With his edits, original tracks and collaborative project RUNAWAY he has released music on the internationally acclaimed New York labels, Italians Do It Better, Editions Disco, and Wurst Edits while having EP’s slated for Brennan Green’s Chinatown, Cosmo Vitelli’s I’m A Cliche, and the new internet only label RCRD LBL. As well as getting coveted spots on the Glimmers’ Eskimo mix and the Lindstrom and Prins Thomas BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, Mr. Renault appears regularly on Beats In Space, EVR and contributes a weekly show, Runaway Disco, to VIVA Radio.

Sometimes promoting club nights can be a pain. There are times when you go through the motions and the DJ you have booked can be uninspiring, and you are left shaking your head at the end of the night when you have handed over a bundle of cash for a lame performance. But then, there are other nights where you get a feeling and a vibe that the night is going to be something special. Everything comes together and the night goes off with a bang and you are reminded why you toil away month in month out to put on a party to play the music you love.

We had one such night last Friday. Brodinski, the 20 year old DJ and producer from Lille in France came and blew the place apart. We had a feeling in the run up to the night that we were going to have a good one, but nothing prepared us for what took place that evening. It�s always nice when your crowd arrive early and we had a steady stream of people in the club as soon as the doors opened. Soon after that we had a queue snaking down the road and almost round the corner.

By midnight it was almost a lock out and Brodinski stepped up to the decks about one a.m, plugged in his headphone and proceeded to rock the club like it�s never been rocked before. What followed was two hours of whooping and hollering and shouting and jumping and hugging and raving to Brodinski�s impeccable mixing and sick beats until we practically had to pull him off the decks somewhere around 3 a.m.

I can�t recall many DJ�s, if any, that have received an ovation in the four years we�ve been running but Brodinski was certainly treated like a hero upon stepping out of the DJ booth. And so our residents the Broken Hookers were left the impossible task of taking the crowd to the finish line but did so in their own inimitable style keeping the vibe flowing until 5am to a sweaty and shell-shocked dance floor. And that was our farewell to 2007. A fitting end to a great year for us and all that is left to say is Brodinski vous �tes notre h�ros!

Here’s a podcast I’ve just completed for the lovely people over at VirusAV.com. You should check it out there’s some great mixes on there.

Anyway, here’s my effort. It’s a subtle blend of warm deep house, heavy disco and Balearic vibes.

Hope you like it, enjoy! x

Here’s a great teaser mix from next weeks special guest, Shit Robot. It was actually recorded for Tim Sweeney’s Beats in Space show in New York a couple of month’s back and the mix includes a couple of tracks from Tim himself. Marcus from Shit Robot states the mix is a selection of tracks that he grew up clubbing to. Kind of like an old rave mix rather than some ‘Nu Rave’ bollocks so expect to hear loads of New York and Brit house classics but there are some fresher cuts from the likes of MyMy, Gui Boratto and Theo Parrish too. See if you can spot his new single towards the end of the mix…

Part One – Shit Robot
Part Two – Shit Robot & Tim Sweeney
