I'm not too familiar with the work of Rob Sparx, but I did like his remake of the Bar 9 track "Shoalin Style." He just released a new heavy, heavy track on the Audio Freaks label which is coming in the mail, and will hit the ZBC airwaves next show.
Also in store for next week's show is a spotlight of sorts on the Sandwell District label. They just re-relesed a few of 12"s, as well as a new split from Marcel Dettman and Regis. In the tradition of underground techno, the label is "anti-image" and does not have a website or email or much online prescence, but you can read an interview with Dave Sumner, aka Function, on residentadvisor.net here. I hoped to play all the re-releases, but the Female record was sold out as of today. Drats.
As I mentioned on air, I feel my show has been a bit confusing and schizophrenic lately. I'm doing two hours rather than three, dropped playing dub reggae, started playing house, and it just got to be like a pizza with too many toppings served cold.
I'm thinking about how to fit in all the music I like to play and listen to while having a point of view to the show. The main focus is bass. For you face. I don't want to be one of "those" deejays who needs to play his/her entire record collection each show to demonstrate how diverse are their musical taste. Ugh. Who can listen to that?
