I'm Nathan. I'm 21, and I like good music. I listen to a lot of things, and occasionally I'll make mash ups or mixtapes of stuff that I like.
You might find me blogging:
Alternative or Indie Rock
Folk
Pop
Chill Out or Downtempo Music
Classic Rock or Metal
Electro House (also Progressive and Tech House)
Trance
Disco and Indie Dance
Dubstep
Drum n Bass
Hip Hop
jPop
etc etc ETC BASICALLY anything which sounds good to me. I try not to write off entire genres if I can avoid it - music should be about keeping your ears open to new sounds and just liking what sounds good, regardless of what it's classified as.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Mr Scruff - Hold On
This is a record which has been taunting me every time I go to my local store. In among all of the shiny new dance LPs, there exists this album — simplistic almost-art on a case which feels like it’s been made out of recycled egg cartons.
Last week I finally caved and bought the thing along with a few other CDs. I walked into this purchase with low expectations and a pinch of curiousity, but now I can tell you that this is a great album. Never judge a book by its cover, nor an album by its sleeve.
Ninja Tuna was released in 2008, but it features some of the freshest house tunes I’ve heard in a while. Deep, punchy-yet-funky bass, great instrumentation and vocals — this is easily one of my unexpectantly-favourite pickups. Strongly recommended.
Softwar - Believe
Out on the 6th of May on Club Mod. Really nice and deep groove… though it’s not like I’d expect anything less from Softwar.
struggling to find a tribal house track that tops this. Nice page btw!
Breach - Jack
big
get it now on Beatport.
Sebastien Tellier - Sedulous (Mickey Remix)
On repeat. Been out for a while but suuuch a good remix. Love.
Sohight & Cheevy - Travel Anthem (Moullinex Remix)
Really bouncy and fun song. The percussion combo is my favourite.
Sebastien Leger’s Spring 2013 DJ Set
Great selection of warm and techy house music. Not downloadable and there isn’t a tracklist as of yet, but it’s a great collection of chill house grooves to listen to nonetheless.
Butch - Sweet in the Morning
Really minimalist tribal groove. Love it.
Junior Vasquez - X
Tribal house from 1994. Could easily get away with playing this during an opening set today - quality stuff.
La Roux vs Lifelike - Electroproof (Fishtrek Mash)
Hey followers and whoever, here’s a free mashup thing I just finished. Think I originally intended to get it done to celebrate 200 followers on this blog, but that was a while back now… oh well.
Lyrics kick in around the 1-minute mark - left the intro DJ-friendly. Enjoy. :)
