Andres - New 4 U

This guy is in Moodymann's crew. He also replaced J Dilla as the Slum Village's main producer and DJ. I saw him at fabric for the Elgo records launch party. He played a killer set.

RA Review








LoKee next Sunday May 6th. Robag and DJ Koze 9 Hour Set.

Two of the best. For 9 hours. No brainer.

Top transmissions


I find it quite enjoyable poking around in website stats. And after doing this for Techno Transmission I made some interesting discoveries...

For example, did you know that, in almost three years of excellent service, the TT website has hosted 566 posts, which have clocked up a total of 32,276 page views? (and that only three of these 32,276 were made on a Blackberry device). OK, not that interesting...

But what is interesting is taking a look at the most clicked posts of these 566. Some are obvious classics from the TT archives, such as Jack’s Kollektion mix and Immer 3. But there are also a few surprises in there too. Check it out, here’s the top ten most clicked transmissions:
*Note: when I was halfway through I realised it doesn’t mean that much as most people will just listen to the tunes from the homepage. But I’d started, so I decided to finish...

10: A Taste of Yesterday Morning's Extravaganza 
– Jack’s snapshot of a particularly heavy Ricardo session at Fabric from August 2010 (time goes quick, huh?)
9: They tended to get straight to the point in '94 
– A no nonsense TT debut from Sam (also in August 2010)
8: Belated Top Electronic Albums of 2010 
– Jools’ excellent retrospective from Jan 2011
7: PANABAR 
- Laurent Garnier’s homage to berghain/panorama bar, courtesy of Benjoid (July 2010)
6 Matteo Manzini Mix 
– Matteo’s mix, posted by Ben (also July 2010)
5: Immer 3 
– el classico, donated courtesy of Filip ((July 2010)
4: Kollektion 
– Jack’s aforementioned Kompendium of Kollektiv Turmstrasse tunes from August 2010
3: 120.0 BPM Hall & Oates - Cant Go For That (Salvatore remix) 
– from The Ballykissangel in November 2011
2: J Jones v Heaven 17 re-edit 
– Posted by me nine days after matt’s post above.
1: UK Mix 
– The most clicked upon link on TT is Phil’s mix, which is also from Novemeber last year.

ALSO, I took a look round File Factory and have noted the most downloaded files below. These are:


At the very least this post should highlight some old gems we’ve forgotten about or missed first time round. #Cheers

Danny Tenaglia's Loft / Danny Tenaglia's quit DJing



He is no doubt adversely effected by hammering the club circuit for nearly 40 (?!?!?!!?) years, but have no doubt, Danny Tenaglia is a New York house legend of the highest regard. I don't really understand the hysteria personally but his quitting is significant. Really the first round of DJs to hit 50 / 60 is happening now, so I think we'll see this kind of thing happen more and more. It reminds you that club music is still in its relative infancy. This was his post from the other day.

Dear Friends, please, just LET me BE, LET me BE! >> The Time Has Come for ME to "finally" BE MYSELF!! :) I have been telling people for so many years now to JUST BE YOURSELF!! But for me, being myself was living with 1 foot in a closet and 1 outside "trying" to BE the happiest DJ on Earth, which I have been, and give the World the best I had to Give because I know how happy I have made people with the gift of music from GOD and this has been a great blessing .... so I simply Could Not Stop!! Since everything has CHANGED since I first realized I wanted to BE a DJ forever like playing records" and getting a job in nightclubs back in the early 70's (gag) and now here I am at 51, been around the world many times, put over One Million Miles in the sky, 3 full Passports and my Heart has been YEARNING for something New & Different besides music. BUT, as I have been trying to STOP and make BIG changes like finally calling my home in Miami since 2006 HOME, but was always to busy between NY residencies and travels and it's been getting the best of me lately. Airplanes, Airports, Hotels, Foreign-isms, and what can I say: I HAVE SEEN THE MOUNTAINTOP as a DJ and I just need to STOP and smell the roses of my life and simply try to "Grow Up and BE who I really am" but "everything" - including the need for finances to afford my Loft of 10 years in NY which I can no longer afford and must let go of by July . . . I know many people think I am wealthy but I assure I am not! I have lived well and have very nice things to show for my earnings, but I cannot stop working!! When I say I have been writing for the past 5 days, it has been DEEP!! I kept starting over and over and it's turned into a major journal and sooooo much of this I promise I want to share with ALL of you, The Good and The Bad, but thankfully it's mostly good! ON my way home on Wed from DR & Montreal I was having a bad day as I had a head cold, and there's no enjoyment in an airplane or in a hotel room out of the country with a headcold .... anyhow, I was traveling back to Miami alone as my co-workers flew back to NY and I was just looking out the window the whole flight and for 3 hours I was just thinking HOW AM I EVER GOING TO PROPERLY RESIGN (not retire) . . . And when I got home I realized I left a small carry on murse bag with many personal things, keys, passport and so on and at first all I could feel was FURY!! I tried everything between Lost & Found and the car service, but as my ID was in there and now 6 days later no return, well all I can say is that THIS has been The Revelation that I needed to say: LADIES & GENTLEMEN: As of this day, I am "resigning" (not retiring) and all future gigs will sadly BE canceled except for My Belated Birthday @ Pacha on Sat April 28th! This will BE my final gig until I feel I am ready to return back to the decks. This is thee hardest decision I have ever had to make in my career, but if not now, then when?? I apologize to all parties involved but I think most people that know me personally know that this has been coming! I have performed at WMC 26 years in a row! I have played every year in Ibiza since 2000! It's time for ME to Stop and settle down, move out from the loft which will BE a very MAJOR ordeal . . . OMG!! I have soooooooooo much STUFF!!! There is no way I can do all this and travel and have a life . . . Only I can make the decisions of what stays and what goes, including what I will do with over 10,000 records, etc etc etc ....... SO in closing: I LOVE YOU ALL and I just wanna Thank U 4 Lettin me BE MYSELF all these years, and now I beg you to please continue with me in my journey and my quest for something new and wonderful. I will never give up my first love with MUSIC, but there has to BE something else (or someone) out there waiting for me! :) >> I promise to keep updating here, but I needed to do this today - in order to BE FREE & BE ME!! Please BE kind, this has not been easy and I am a very sensitive person. God BE with US all! See you soon!! :)


He also released these pictures of his loft space, which is pretty much a club, studio, office in one. He's flat broke apparently and it isn't hard to see why.
