New Artists Added to Movement / DEMF 2012 Lineup + Movement Spotify Channel

March 18, 2012 § Leave a Comment

I’m getting psyched for this year’s Movement Festival at Hart Plaza in Detroit. It’s hands-down one of the best music events happening in North America, one of few I’m proud that our culture has produced (shout outs to Decibel, Communikey, and Unsound btw).  I’ll be joining some old friends in Detroit and covering the event for Dubspot, stay tuned for updates from the frontlines from May 26 – 28 of this year. In the meantime Paxahau has recently announced new additions to the lineup so I’ve compiled the complete list below. In addition, Paxahau has launched a Spoitfy Channel which looks like a nice soundtrack for days leading up to the event.

Nice mix from Hotflush/Halcyon NYC’s Nihal Ramchandani

April 13, 2010 § 1 Comment

I was caught dead in the sights of this mix today.. waking up over my cup of coffee, starting to work, got in the ZONE and then wondered “hey what did I just download.. this is great.” It starts off ambient and moody (a la Sigha and Gas) then gets sneaky and changes up on you in a very subtle yet determined rising rhythm backbeat. Ends with one of my favorite tunes of all time (Babyford’s “Dead Eye”) and makes for a fantastic AM journey. Words below the break from Percussion Lab.

Perhaps it’s not surprising how deep the music runs in a guy who got his first set of turntables at 13 after a dance music crash course by his older brother. By 15, Nihal Ramchandani was rising through the ranks of Houston’s techno scene. This past September, at a fresh 18, he arrived in New York and quickly fell in with the crew at Halcyon Records and the NYC arm of Berlin’s Hotflush Recordings.

“Inward” is a testament to Nihal’s supreme versatility and focus behind the decks, not to mention how damn good records sound when he plays them. Moving from tense ambient swells to heady techno and beyond – featuring classic, current, and forthcoming cuts from the likes of Ben Frost, Sigha, Mike Parker, and Baby Ford — Nihal has committed something very, very special to tape. Moody and dark yet executed with the lightest of touches, it’s a fantastic introduction to Nihal’s style.

We had to get this fantastic set up today, just in time for Nihal’s birthday. If you see him wilin’ out on the streets of NYC this evening, buy the man a drink. Shit, for this mix – he deserves it.
