“In those days, people would carry boomboxes. There were always enough people with them, so we put a boombox on top of each speaker. We went out and bought a bunch of candles, and we tuned in a station that happened to be coming out of New Jersey, that played the kind of music that we usually had at the party, good crossover music. We tuned all the boomboxes into the same station, so we had sound through the room. The candles were lit, and the party went on.“

Going to start posting these soundcloud playlists. This one is all recent uploads –
“This was the year of the little guy, with new vinyl labels riding a magic carpet of internet hype and limited supply. Here are the five imprints everyone should be watching.… The thread running through all these small presses’ success is a “no new friends” approach to A&R. Such was the case with Blank Slate, who launched their label from the unlikely HQ of Ithaca, New York. Blank Slate’s first release was a compilation introducing the world to four totally unknown artists. The label kept the blinders on to winning effect, going on to release full EPs by Arnaldo and Mirko along with atmospheric house cuts by label co-founder Rene Audiard. An equal emphasis on mind and body has made Blank Slate one of the hottest imprints for those who know.”
