ASADINHO feat MR NORF- Born With A Sweet Tooth / Wrong Recordings (12")

Born With A Sweet Tooth (Asad Rizvi vocal pass)

Born With A Sweet Tooth (instrumental)

After his amazing "Slippery Heights", whenever I see Asad's name I get exited. Although he couldn't came up with something as big as "Slippery Heights" since then this Deep/Tech House record released from Asad's own Wrong Recordings. With Hip house and Breakbeat flavors it is more exiting with his Vocal Pass interpratation. My favorite; "John Larner(Inland Knights) Remix" contains few samples but the fantastic bassline and catchy vocals make you move instantly.

RIZVI, Asad/KESTER LYDDON - Reverberations Series / Reverberations Ltd

well, speaking of Asad Rizvi, He and Kester Lyddon teamed up and released another great 3 track 12" variying from Tech house to Acid House. Asad's Disco-funkin' "Duality" on the A-side is not the Asad we know but yet pure fun! Nice deep touch with that tasty Rhodes, plus some quirk to boot. Flipside sees Asad with Kester Lyddon for the spacey acid-tinged Killer Loop remix of 'In My Sky', plus a wicked funk Instrumental Edit.

Boo williams / Demarkus Lewis' New Ep

I've been waiting Williams and Lewis to come together again and release some stuff since their amazing track "Keys To City (Dees Dub)" got into my all time favorites list last year. "Keys To City" is one of the most uplifting deep house track ever. I saw a 140 kg totaly stoned man got up and danced to it as soon as I play it and I thought "yeah, this record has some side effects" For those of you who doesn't know what it is to be fat and stoned, let me tell you that its fucking hard to move.

On june 16 2006 Capture US records released Boo williams / Demarkus Lewis' New "The Peak Hour" Ep which is nice and warm, carrying vocals, bionic pulses/beeps and synths with a rolling - catchy- bassline. Vey nice track again, thumbs up!

Fuck Free File Hosting Services

Due to the problems with my free file host filespoint.com, you won't be able to download dj sets or tracks until I find a reliable service which doesn't delete your files without any reason and tell you that "it may be lost while we're moving to our new server" kind of shit. Grrrr!

Deep House


SLOPE/TITONTON DUVANTE/BEANFIELD/FABRICE LIG - Exchanging Tracks EP

A1.Slope - "Nippon House"
A2.Titonton Duvante - "Chi Doro" (Titonton refreak)
B1.Beanfield - "Yuki"
B2.Fabrice Lig - "Few Hours In Japan"

This EP has a distinctive japanese flavor! I specially liked Fabrice Lig's "Few Hours in Japan" which has also middle eastern feeling. Combination of far east and middle east is just fine. Other tracks are also OK but I'd really love to hear some japanese vocals.

Funky/Vocal/Disco/Club House


DATA 80 aka HAKAN LIDBO - You Are Always On My Mind

A1."You Are Always On My Mind"
A2."Honey Dripping"

B1."Never Change"
B2."Everybody Dance"

If we don't count the boring title track, "You Are Always On My Mind" released from Jet Set Japan has 3 very nice tracks. All funky and rolling with Hakan Libdoish vocal moves. Although some might say that this kind of distorted vocals are already out of fashion, well, in this case it goes great with the job, specially female vocals on "Never Change" and male(!) vocals on "Everybody Dance".

Cool Things # 2 : Adidas Airline Original

I think I have to confess that I just can't help buying anything with retro feeling . This minimal beauty; reduced, simple, clean and convincing is just A-Must-Have and I had it. Plus I bought the last one in Adidas Originals store in Istanbul almost 30 Euros cheaper than the ones in german concept stores on the internet. Thus, now I adore it :-) Finally, it's nice to have cool things in istanbul and more and more are coming. Now it's even possible to buy limited edition legendary onitsuka tiger sneakers! Hurray!

Delia gonzales & Gavin russom - Relevee (DFA Mix)
please respect the artists and buy records.

When I listened installation artists Gonzales & Russom's "Relevee (DFA Mix)" on their double 12" "Relevee" released from DFA Records UK last week, first I thought "yeah it's absolutely a Hot Shot Debut!".

With it's very nice intro, dreamy vocals and amazing disco/electro feeling, Down Tempo "Relevee (DFA Mix)" is one the best tunes I've listened in past few weeks. After millions(!) of replay I decided to dig a little bit deeper for getting more from Gonzales & Russom but I end up in dissapointment.

Unfortunately "Relevee" single is full of weak remixes from Carl Craig and Baby Ford. Well, it's way too much experimental for me and "Relevee (DFA Mix)"is shining like a star among the others. Thumbs up!
