blackbananamix

April 9th, 2008

Here are some *vintage* Garage records I’ve been listening to lately, I’m never sure if they’re technically Garage tbh - as some of them are from New Jersey I suppose the better term term would be “The New Jersey Sound”, this stuff moves me - it’s raw, positive and emotive and often gets overlooked nowadays.

btw - The Black Banana was a Philly club back in the day, nothing to do with New Jersey but there you go… I liked the name.

Enjoy.

Guest Trackwerker - Andrew Allsgood

March 3rd, 2008

Andrew Allsgood has been representing the more left field sounds of electronic and dance music as a DJ for the past 12 years.
Andrew has been collecting records since a child and has managed to feed his obsession with music through jobs at records shops through high school and college and now with an independent distributor.
Deep house, disco, electro, funk, soul, reggae, techno, jazz, rock……..you may hear it all in an Allsgood set! From pure party vibes to deep, dark, druggy warehouse flashbacks riding a disco pogo stick…….. if he is playing it is ALL GOOD. Andrew’s ability to raise the room temperature up when he is behind the decks has accounted for many a sweaty dance-floor over the last 12 years.
Andrew has held down various residencies in Toronto since 99 as well as playing loads of one off’s, warehouse parties and his monthly, anything goes extravaganza, Fascination alongside Toronto vet DJ Mike Tull as the Tn’A Soundsystem.
Toronto’s Truffle imprint released his first 12”, (Disco) Pigs In Space last year and his second release, Raise It On Down will follow on Truffle in March and there are loads more edits and originals in the pipeline!
Here is a taste of Andrew getting deep behind the 1’s & 2’s with a heavy mix of some cosmic goodies from the last little while, a few edits and two upcoming tracks from Truffle.

Andrew Allsgood - Deep Dementia 2

01- Woolfy vs. Projections – Return Of Starlight

02- Idjut Boys – Scorejazi (Cuban Heal Mix)

03- Andrew Allsgood – Raise It On Down (DrrtyHaze remix)

04- Nemesi – Jurassico Original Egg

05- Nick Chacona – Through The Door
