I’m back, and i’ve really missed you guys! We’ve been over in England for the last few weeks, visiting family and friends before the arrival of the little one, and what I time we had! Thanks to everyone who came out to play in London and Yorkshire - it was so great to see you [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Well, this was a special one… so many things to celebrate! Not only did we have 3 weeks of amazing, new music to enlighten the Trans-Atlantic faithful, but we also had to get things shaking for Grace’s 20th Birthday schenanigans in Leeds, start the My House Your House Mk 2 weekend celebrations, and also mark [...]
A bumper collection of new tracks from Transport Recordings, OM, Musical Missionary, Lost My Dog, Nervous, Fresh Meat and Headtunes really launched Trans-Atlantic Airwaves into the weekend! I was lucky enough to receive a huge pack of promos from Timo Garcia (including his INCREDIBLE Swing Thing remix package), Dope Den, Kahua and Eighth Dimension, including [...]
There’s some serious generosity going around at the start of this year… and we are loving it! This week we have an incredible offering for you, courtesy of our frineds over at Lost My Dog. They’ve just released The Journey; a brand new artist album from the abundantly talented Latvian wonder-kid Artie Flexs… and you can [...]
Rainy days in El Lay… well that calls for something a little bit different this week. A little less of the sunshine sound, and more of the dark and naughty… and some serious fun I had with it too!
This week I’ve been sent and found an abundance of superb, FREE music. My huge thanks (as [...]
