Mixed Signals re-issuing some quite gloriously lo fi productions that put the polished stuff to shame.
So much personality in these tracks.

Go’wan Then
ReviewsSomeone who constantly pushes the boundaries of electronic music is Blawan.
Always fresh, always interesting, never compromising, here are five I love!
Too Many Strooms
ReviewsBelgiums know best, and the Stroom label is consistently great, especially on the re-issue front. I may have posted some of these tracks before – all of them firm favourites, that they have done a great job of putting out again and hopefully finding new ears.
A.N.Y.C
ReviewsSomeone from the modern electronics world I always check, is New York based Anthony Naples. He certainly knows how to craft a club record, always with just enough elements. Here are 5 tried and tested A.N bombs…
Doctor, Doctor!
ReviewsSlightly strange reissue label Medical Records.
At times putting out records that aren’t really that hard to find or have been reissued not that long ago with better pressings…

Some classics below…
SHELL FIRE
ReviewsIf looking for modern sounds for the floor, then check London duo Two Shell who make club music with a different kinda’ swing. Touches of garage, broken beat and detroit techno all compound to make for some of the best programming around.

Are You Listening?
ReviewsClassic (early) Planet E Communications. Founded by Carl Craig in ’91 and housed A LOT of his amazing productions. I’ve gone for 5 that I don’t think he had a hand in, but I could be wrong. Just raw, soulful (but never dull) electronic music.
3:26
ReviewsBeen loving the raw energy of Chicago’s Jamie 3:26 for a while. He seems to have that skill for making, editing & blending, house, disco, funk and techno in a similar way to how Ron Hardy jacked the party, must be a Chi-town thing!

Perfect Pop
ReviewsAs we cling onto Summer here are some timeless classics to keep you in the party mood. Fuzz Dance hit a sweet spot in the 80’s releasing some cracking Italo pop that seems to never date.
All Corners Covered
ReviewsFrom the more modern side of things, one imprint I have been loving the output of is “On The Corner Records”. As a label it’s got a perfect mix of more traditional sounds and out there electronics and constantly surprises with it’s releases.
