Excellent mix from Chicago's Specter

I really enjoyed listening to this last night. I had it on in the background whilst watching the Chelsea versus Barcelona game and it was a particularly pleasant soundtrack as a counterbalance to the intensity of the game. Nice and deep and a sterling effort from Specter, who I hope to check out in the dark basement of a club next time he's in London.

Guest Mix: Andy Green/Verdant Recordings

Andy popped this mix into my inbox a couple of days ago, which he kindly put together over the weekend.

When Turgid Worlds Collide

Andy's mixes are usually Ambient by nature, recorded under his Verdant Recordings moniker and can be found at his website http://verdant-recordings.com/

It was these mixes that led to him being asked to record an ambient mix for the now defunct Bleep 43 podcast series.

He was also recently asked to guest host a show alongside his long time friend Rick Hopkins, for the excellent Berlin based Estimulo Radio, showing that he also has a canny ear for all things House.

Here's a link to a recording of the show: http://soundcloud.com/verdant-recordings/esti_rick_verdant

An enjoyable jam for you from Juju & Jordash

There seems to be a decent little scene coming along in Holland at the moment. In fact the last couple of mixes that I have posted up on here have been from Dutch based DJ's/Producers.

Juju & Jordash are two Israeli guys that are based in Amsterdam and I was really impressed with them when I saw them play live just before Christmas.

They basically just improvise and jam together on old Analogue hardware and even had a slide guitar, which actually worked really well coupled with their use of a microphone to add the odd muffled vocal here and there. Which again strangely works well.

This recording of a recent live set they did in Bucharest went down a treat this morning and reminded me a lot of the night in London i.e they seemed to have the guitar in use for this one which they haven't seemed to use that often recently when I've listened to some of their other live sets.

Anyway, here's the link:
