With his Galactic Caravan album remixed by the likes of Dan Curtin, Alexander Robotnick and Ben Sims, and a new single set to drop this month, Detroit techno producer DJ 3000 is hot property at the moment. Read on to find out his top tunes for the month, along with insight into why they are a favourite in his record bag.
Chubby Dubz is a German/US production team consisting of Oliver $ and Gene Siewing – two men with a shared passion for quality underground music. Having just dropped their 31 Flavours EP on Ornate Music, we managed to coax a featured chart out of them for February. As charts go this has a definite classicist tilt, with a few new gems thrown in for good measure. Enjoy…
In the latest Juno Plus featured chart, mobilee boss Anja Schneider reveals some of the songs that are floating her musical boat at the moment. There’s a healthy mix of the old and new, with brand new productions from Deniz Kurtel and a (relative) oldie from Justin Martin. Also keep an eye out for Anja’s new Ithought EP, which you can buy now from Juno Records.
James Curd has beaten his own path from cult indie band Greenskeepers (a favourite of John Peel) to a respected DJ and beat-merchant over the last few years. His new EP In With The Old, In With The New shows off the range of styles that the Chicago-born producer has got under his belt. We chased him down to find out what tunes are floating his musical boat so far in 2010, and he admits it wasn’t an easy choice.
Breakbeat don Richie Balboa already knocks out the odd mix for Juno, which we think is rather good. It seems we’re not alone in thinking that either – it’s been nominated for Best Podcast in the 2010 Breakspoll awards (vote here). With such a talented man on our team, we thought we’d rope him in for a featured chart too. Here are his top picks for January – enjoy…
Following on from our in-depth interview with Jamie Odell aka Jimpster, earlier this month, we’ve roped the Freerange boss into talking us through his top tunes of 2009. Unsurprisingly, there’s some stellar choices from the deeper end of house music.
This year has been something of a watershed for The Revenge, aka disco and house producer Graeme Clark. There were a host of releases on esteemed labels like Wolf Music, Mule and Delusions of Grandeur, some notable remixes and additional production under his 6th Borough Project alias (with Craig Smith). Time to kick back and relax then? Hardly – this Scotsman looks set to be flying higher than ever come 2010. He spoke to Juno Plus about the year that was, and talked us through the top five tunes from his “Best of 2009″ chart.
This week Sinden brings us his “Best of 2009” chart with a range of the year’s biggest dance floor bangers. The London-based DJ has remixed the likes of A-Trak and DJ Mujava, holds down his own radio show at Kiss FM and toured with M.I.A (as her personal DJ no less). He has become famed for his wide-ranging sets, which touch on everything from Baltimore and dancehall to dubstep and house.
In the latest instalment of our featured chart series, we get the low down on Faze Action’s hottest tunes for November. The disco duo are set to play at a show to launch Electric Mind’s Arthur Russell tribute album, taking place this Friday (November 27) at the Garage in north London. The likes of Maurice Fulton, Yam Who? and Groove Armada’s Tom Findlay will all be DJing on the night.
