The last time I woke up to music and it was perfect was this morning. The exercise began the exact same way it has begun for two years. Without ceremony I opened my eyes and turned my head to the unfolded laptop by my right. It offered the exact same view: the iTunes Artwork screen saver and the time. 7:01 a.m. and like always, I wore headphones from the night before. No differently, I hit the ...

Minimalistic Chicago House meets Detroit Electro. Cold and futuristic sounding house but with some serious funk thrown in here and there. This will get you moving for certain. A bit like Kelley Polar minus the vocals. Or, it's like Plastic Man wearing a Bill Cosby sweater. Minimal and funky. I recommend it. Straight up yo. It's very forward thinking dance music. Not your typical club m...
Long time Lurking, but haven't posted for quite a while. I've been in a "dancy" mood for the past 2 or 3 months. It's a new feeling for me, the ceaseless need to move and shake and such. So I've been counting on my collection of music that hasn't heard the light of day (wha?) for quite some time. I picked up this Booka Shade album when it came out apparently, but never really gave it the time o...

New Yorkers are spoiled when it comes to indie rock. Night after night, venues throughout the city overflow with guitars, drums and bass. But for those who love beats and breaks, selections are more limited. Most unfortunate are those who aren't 21, as the turntable goes hand-and-hand with the beer bottle. Studio B, the epicenter for most things electro, was recently shut down, and while sh...

I’ve been listening to a lot more Minimal and Techno recently. One label I have come to count on for providing me with the soundtrack to my nights at home is Get Physical. Artists like Booka Shade, Bronnt Industries Kapital, Damian Lazarus and M.A.N.D.Y are only a few of their artists who I frequently listen [...]
I discovered Booka Shade while trawling the Coachella set list for bands I hadn't heard.Been listening to Movements now repeatedly - to the point that its interrupted my list of music to listen to before the festival.
