Alex Harmony - Sonnendeck EP

djcruze — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 22:10:40 +0000

I have to give a massive shout out to one of my good friends, Alex Harmony, who has just released his first EP “Sonnendeck” on Germany’s Club City Music label. It features two rocking tech house tunes, Artefacts and Sonnendeck. You can check out both of them on the media player on the Club City Music website right now so head on over there.

Artefacts is a great deep and dubby track with its dark vocoded vocal breakdown and Sonnendeck brings us a massive wall of sound that reminds me of an old Orbital track (…I can’t remember which). I think that “sounding like Orbital” is praise enough for his first release and you should look out for the EP on Beatport soon. Make sure you pick it up if you like it deep and dirty!

Big love to you Alex and you beat me to it mate!

Scratching with cassette tapes

djcruze — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 17:00:06 +0000

Anyone who has seen me DJ’ing knows that I like scratching. I scratch a lot in my DJ sets (although not very much on the podcasts!) and I love to watch technical scratch DJs like Q-Bert, A-Trak and DJ Craze. I got into DJ’ing back in the late 80s because I was a wannabe hip-hop kid. I realised pretty quickly that I was terrible at rapping, even worse at graffiti so I pestered my parents to get me a set of turntables so I could learn to mix and scratch. So I love scratching and turntablism but this video I found via Music Thing is crazy!

DJ Ramsey (an Arizonan DJ I think and not the DJ Ramsey that plays garage over here in the UK) switches turntablism back to the 80s and becomes cassetetapism! He takes two boomboxes and scratches, beat juggles and cuts up tunes by twisting the tape spindle and playing with the tape head. He’s a genius! Check him out:
