Stone Cold Mark E

We were quite happy this morning to see news of the new Mark E album coming out on Spectral Sounds in May. You can stream the whole album here, and if you wanna get mixtified, there's a typically masterful new blend-up by Mister Evetts below.

A Sunday Celebration with Justus Kohncke

Spring has finally arrived in New York which means summer isn't far off. I dipped into the archives of our old Sunday party this week and had a listen to Justus Kohncke's set from 2009. It's pretty great and it brought back lovely memories, such as the one above. If you don't have the set already you can grab it here. Roll on summer.

Thom Yorke, Four Tet & Burial Collaborate


We're big, make that HUGE, fans of Radiohead and Thom Yorke. We're also pretty sizable fans of Mister Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet and the more mysterious Burial. So naturally we're very excited about this three-way collaboration, which you can pre-order right here.

Enter The Red Zone



Following on from previous posts covering the house sounds of the seminal Junior Boys Own imprint and the marvelous MK here's a look at another great production style from the 90s – the Red Zone remixes from New York's own David Morales.

Morales was one of the first super star DJs, breaking through in the early 90s after receiving critical recognition from Larry Levan. He carved out a lucrative career as a remixer at a time when a house remix was a must for all major label releases. It's his Red Zone remixes and in particular the dub versions which catch my ear. Here are 5 of my favorites.

New Mix from Wolf Music Matt

In case you didn't know, we really love Wolf Music over here at the Mister. Lately Eamon's been closing sets with The Dead Rose Music Company's 'Just A Bitter Love'; we closed out our Allez Allez mix with KRL's 'I Wanna Be With You', and we also included their most recent EP in our JunoPlus chart.

We are mildly obsessed. (At least I am.) So you could understand how happy we'd be that Matt, the gent who runs Wolf, has made a mix just for us. I can personally attest that it's perfect for a morning listen or an end-of-day listen, but it'd probably suit you fine any old time.

Thanks much to Matt for the mix.  We hope (and we are pretty sure that) you will enjoy!


There's a tracklisting after the jump if you want to trainspot.

This new Joy Orbison's got me even more excited about playing alongside him next month than I was before. What a banger. It's coming out next week, but you can pre-order here. Nom, nom, nom...
