Another flight jam-packed with awesome promos this week… the summer of 2010 has been an absolute monster for new music! Sadly I’m not hitting Ibiza this year, but I hear it’s been one of the best seasons for near-on a decade, and over this side of the Atlantic the dance events have been better than [...]
It all got a little sloooowed down this week as I kicked off the show (and actually ran with it for well over half the flight!) on a mid-tempo tip, keeping things nicely in the 118 - 121 area so I could rock some of the beautiful new tracks from the Intelligent Audio eclectic release [...]
It’s here! Thank you all for getting in touch over twitter, facebook, AIM, MSN and all of the other avenues to ask about this week’s show. It really seemed to go down well and many of you have been hankering your weekly dose of TAA download (and tracklist) action. Pads (who hosts the incredible House [...]
It has been a very hectic week over here in Streetnoise! world, it started with my dog Lulu falling off a 20ft balcony in Malibu and surviving! A week later miraculously she seems to be recovering, yes miracles can really happen! The doctor prognosis was that she would not walk again!
On the music front we [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
