We’re right in the middle of summer party season (if you’re in the northern hemisphere that is… sorry Ian!) so I came out with the big guns this week! I had a great time with this one too, and from the look of the chat box and all of the instant messages, you guys were [...]

Summer is always a big time for new releases with labels holding onto their monster tunes until the big festival / Ibiza season, but this year it’s just a little bit crazy! There are so many beautifully bouncy, sun-kissed tracks doing the rounds… and not the thrown together, cheesy, hands in the air tracks either. [...]

Ok, I cannot stop talking about the footie - what a World Cup it has been… amazing, full of drama, surprises and controversy! To all my Dutch friends, I will be routing for the men in orange on Sunday, although it seems most of Los Angeles in off course is behind Spain and I will [...]

A show of new, new and a bit more new this week! New toys in the form of a Traktor update from the old Scratch platform to the pro software, which is simply superb. I’ve been rocking the old format for a few years, and never really saw the need to upgrade, but holy smoke [...]

We decided to delve deep on the crates for this show including tracks from 1980’s diva Joyce Sims, Ray Barretto’s absolute classic Acid and the ultra rare Life On Mars from Dexter Wansel. Also we played for the first time a track that we put together Into My World which features Trevy Felix from Boom [...]

This week we continue our usual eclectic mix with the inclusion of the classic Expansions by Lonnie Liston Smith. This I feel is a must for anyone’s jazz funk collection. It was one of the first funk records I bought, which included at that time Bob James 1 and Kool & The Gang’s Spirit Of [...]

Ah, the World Cup and house music… there’s few better combinations in life! Super excited this week for the start of the competition, and there was plenty of chatter over on My House Your House during the show all about England (and America’s) chances this time around. It’s party-time in the CheckPoint household this weekend too - watching [...]

Thanks so much to everyone for tuning in to our debut show! We had a couple technical hitches… well, pilot error really, but all in all, everything went well! Thanks so much to CheckPoint for all his help in getting us up and running and My House Your House for giving us the opportunity [...]

A few months ago we hosted an old Mark Farina Percussion mix that really hit the spot with you guys… and why not, it’s a beauty! We got back in touch with Mark’s people over at Dope Den Productions recently, and with a little bit of wheeling and dealing we got our mits on a [...]

Summer’s definitely here in sunny Southern California, and the tunes have been seriously heating up over the last few weeks too. A huge thanks to the usual contributors: Kahua, 8D Promo, Berwick Street and the man from down under! A special mention has to go to Ian over at Kahua for the superb Kahua Music May 2010 Sampler. You [...]
