Audio: October 2006 Archives

I would like to propose a new term for the Dance Music vernacular:

The Juno Minute.

This is the 60 seconds* of a tune chosen by on-line record shops for the 'Listen' MP3, which bears no relation to the rest of the track.
You'll think you've bought the finest Ambient available to humanity, but will in fact receive bastard-hard nose-bleed Techno. The Juno Minute will have been the breakdown.
You'll have gone looking for some tracky Deep House, but the postman will hand you full-on-gospel Garage. The Juno Minute will have been the first minute of the track.
* - Pedants pointing out that Juno's clips actually last 90 seconds will be wedgied. They used to be a minute long.

Hey peeps! I'm working on a new tape.
Inspired by the Kerri Chandler Essential Mix a wee while ago, I started digging around my limitless reserves of Deep House. Transport was an excellent tape (even if I do say so myself, and the folks at DI seem to agree), but it lacked that certain Deepness that I require from a tape.
So far we've got some Ibadan, some Drop Music, some Airtight (where's your website gone guys?) and some other random excellence on the playlist.
Think Afterhours, not Choice Cuts.
It's gonna be real Deep.
