Offaudio 67 – KillMinimal – Learning To Say No EP

Sometime ago Offaudio already teased us with a little taste of things to come. It tasted good!

Now that Offaudio 67 is finally released, it’s time to check it out and share the music. When I started playing the EP, I thought Tweetdeck was going crazy! There’s a sound in the first track that sounds very similar to the sound the application makes when a new tweet appears.

My favorite track is “K De”, deep dark sounds with a lot of atmosphere, what’s yours?

Offaudio 66 : Monokao – I’m Going To Tokyo

Another quality minimal techno release from netlabel Offaudio: Monokao – I’m going to Tokyo

This release’s name makes me very envious: “I’m going to Tokyo”. And as we all know, I wanna go back to Japan ASAP and apparently this guy is going to visit Japan’s fine capitol any time soon. Grrrr! I wanna go too! But, let’s be honest here; I wish him the best possible time, which I’m pretty sure he’ll have. (If the name of the EP is more than just a name, that is.)

I’m gonna be short about this release and let the rest of the deciding and imagination up to you: My favorite track is “Yes”, track number two on this EP. It’s squeaking melody gives it a groove to make the dancefloor bounce. The tracks overall are Beatport quality.

With that out of the way, I’m gonna go back to Smart.FM to work on my knowledge of the Japanese language so my return to Japan next summer will be a little bit more fluent speaking one: “東京に行きます。”

Bonsjoerd – 8-Bits of loneliness

The end of the year is coming, and all over the place you’ll notice “top 1000″’s, “best this” and “best that’s of the year” appear on the web, TV and radio. In this post I’ll tell you who my favorite DJ of the year 2009 is.

Drumroll….

His name is Sjoerd and goes by the moniker “BonSjoerd“. He lives in Groningen, like me he mixes techno, tech-house, minimal and deep-house, but he uses completely different tracks and mixes ever so subtle. I listened one of his demo mixes many times while taking walks in Japan. A few weeks ago, when I told him I was missing Japan and wanted to go back, he made a mix for me! Luckily he uploaded the whole thing to soundcloud so everyone can enjoy.

So, here’s to my favorite DJ of 2009!

Bonsjoerd – 8 Bits Of Loneliness by Bonsjoerd

Reminiscing Part 3 – Elektro

As any techno lover knows (or should know) elektro played a huge part in the development of the techno genre. So here are a few modern classics which I played a lot in my DJ-sets.

Vitalic – La Rock 01

This track never diminishes in popularity, and for me, the EP never bores me.

Miss Kittin – Requiem For A Hit Featuring LA Williams

A hard, pounding Elektro beat, funny lyrics and an even funnier break with R&B added to the mix. This track was a huge hit among DJ’s and dance-floor-dwellers alike.
