Today I am mostly listening to...
... house music documentaries.
Further to Tulley's post of the High Tech Soul film, there's something a bit similar for house music on BBC6 at the mo - Dave Pearce interviews Frankie Knuckles on the 6Mix.
This is the first interview I've heard with the big man, and he's pretty interesting. As is Dave Pearce in fact (despite looking well downsy in the promo pic) reminiscing about going down to the Paradise Garage at 5am to interview Gwen Guthrie and such - some time in early 80s I guess. Plus loads of classic house of course. Get on it here.
An interview with the god-like genius Dimitri from Paris on RA's Exchange series. Another interesting exploration of the late disco/early house scene, with a French twist this time. Available from the RA website now. There's quite a few in that series that look interesting at the mo, have a browse.

I'm rather liking this wee mix from the somewhat dodgily-named Frenchman, Jay Weed. Grab it from Fact here: factmag.com/2011/05/13/fact-mix-247-jay-weed/. House music with a dubstep soundscape aesthetic, insofar as the likes of Rhythm & Sound et al make either house or dubstep. Quite tasty anyway.
And finally, here's something I hadn't heard in ages till Benji B played it on his show this week. Please do not be alarmed, remain calm...

The Jackening
.jpg)
After Scobie's extremely interesting post about Jakbeat I went off to try and get me some, without much success, so here is a wee sample of what I found mixed up with some old Chicago House, disco, synth pop,techno and whatever the fuck else. I had great fun making this actually, plenty of looping and fannying about with tracks goin on, hope yis like it.
