I wanted to share this little piece of dance music history with you all. Back to Basics is where it all began for me. As a very proud Yorshireman, it’s wonderful to be able to say that Dave, Ralph and all of the Basics guys provided me with an education in dance music culture. They [...]

We’ve been rocking away to the sounds of the Winter Music Conference all week, thanks to the incredible live broadcasts on Be@Tv. The video and club community website has been transmitting live from a selection of stand-out events across Miami, in addition to their fine archive of recorded sets from around the world.
The site is a [...]

This week the 25th annual Winter Music Conference kicked off in sunny South Beach, Florida. For one week stunning Miami welcomes the biggest movers and shakers from the dance music community to dance, party, drink and be happy, all under the premise that a bit of business might get done (then soon forgotten about)!!! (Hey, [...]

SXSW, the annual music, film and interactive festival held in beautiful Austin, TX started on Friday, and today the music portion got into full swing! Our friends over at Metrogum have been covering the build-up to the music mega-party all week, with a video countdown to some of the best acts that will be featuring [...]

The Trans-Atlantic Airliner gassed-up and went long haul with an extended 3 hour flight this week, and the party over at My House Your House was something pretty special! The MK2 site looks great and is drawing some fantastic new frequent flyers to the party. Thank you all, old and new for making this one [...]

Head honcho Jafar is the consumate aficionado of all things deep house, producing tracks and rocking dance floors with his trademark lush and hypnotic sound for decades.

A little bit of an unintentional, 2 part mix this week! I kicked things off with a super deep and spacey vibe, courtesy of some lovely new cuts from Artizan, Fresh Meat and the outrageously talented (and busy!) Davidson Ospina. In the second hour of the show I turned to the dark side, with a [...]

We’re not sure whether to laugh or cry!!! It’s a cartoon, so it has to be funny, right? Yeah… but it’s also pretty representative of a few meetings we’ve all been in! Big thanks to our man in Chi-town - Lee Jarvis for sending over. Definitely brightened up our Monday!
Enjoy!

Here’s a little something we’re definitely liking! Our buddies over at Dope Den Productions; the management and promotion team behind music legends such as Jay-J, Chuck Love, Mark Rae and Yes King, among many others have just dropped us a line with Mark Farina’s GLA Percussion Mix, and it is smoking! Mark is one of the [...]

My House Your House; our very favourite internet radio braodcaster and home to CheckPoint’s Trans-Atlantic Airwaves show have always been pioneers, but in the first few months of 2010 they’ve gone above and beyond by not only improving their stream quality to near CD clarity, but also designed and launched a brand new version of [...]
