Not The Full Moog
(Originally uploaded January 2005)
This mix was started simply as a means of getting to know some of my new tracks, picked up on a recent weekend’s record shopping in Nottingham before playing at a charity gig there. So what started out as a means of getting to know the new grooves ended up being a nice little mix… I’d never heard of Zoo Brazil before but have a few pieces on label Airtight already and went with my gut feeling as my patience for digging in the crates can wear thin at the best of times these days. I’ve since listened to the other tracks on the flip-side of both of the twelves featured here and I’m glad I picked them up. The NYC2 track is something I picked up from Flying Records and I’m afraid I don’t have any more info other than it sounds like an old Detroit number and that’s always a good thing for me. Speaking of Detroit, the Sandstorms tune from the Just Another Day release by Carl Craig, is something I’ve been listening to a fair bit of late; every track melting any hassles away. One wonders how he manages to keep putting out such lush aural gems that sound oh-so-familiar yet so different at the same time… Show tracklisting.
