Manalogue

Not sure if you’ve seen what’s coming down the pipes from the FABRIC team. If not, pay close attention because the latest releases are killing it! FREQ NASTY tears up FABRICLIVE 42 with an hour of fidgity grimey breaks and sleazey electro steez albeit with a bit of a mixed message. The mix starts with Saul Williams’ political powerhouse “Not In Our Name” which progresses quickly into a booty knockin party poppin bass heavy jam. Who am I to say you can’t fight and party at the same time?

The mix from Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani (aka METRO AREA) on Fabric 43 is a different pace altogether – this is a 23-track journey into disco, funk, and late night grooves. It takes listeners through the duo’s vast and brightly coloured record collection, all dazzling and sparkling and uplifting and ever so infectuous.

To promote the two releases FABRIC have released two exclusive 30 minute mixes available to preview. Clicky below.

MP3: THE SHAKE 08/07/11 – a live mix by Manalogue

I wanted to post this a week ago already but a trip out west to see family and friends prevented me from giving this the undivided attention it deserved.

Chris recorded this Soul Selectro promo mix to promote the launch of SoulSelecta.ca. Recorded with Ableton, Chris says the mix was meant to be a collection of his favorite tracks from the last year or so. I wouldn’t know because I haven’t had the pleasure to see the man play but apparently Ottawa locals can hear these tracks at his Friday and Saturday night residency at Cornerstone in the Byward Market. Many of these cuts are Manalogue favourites and should be yours too. The newest school of mixing is nice for those suffering from ADD because of the rapid fire mixes. Chris gets to the punch cycling through 50 cuts in a mere 60 minutes. This one has lotsa flava and should keep your girlfriend happy on long drives, especially when she’s annoyed at your monotonous, slow-moving playlist. Turn this one up and don’t be afraid to take some clothes off if the party heat burns you up.

The latest release from TWEROK RECORDS starts a bit slow so at first I was expecting something minimal which is ordinarily quite refreshing. PATRICK L only takes a minute to let the oscillation loose where pounding wobbly basslines and bubbly synth bursts harmonize nicely with haunting analogue warmth.

Chris Rockwell sasy he’s been spinning records since the age of 12. That’s quite the feat since he’s 28 now. With former residencies at Ottawa hotspots such as Helsinki, MTL & Co., and Kinki he’s been around the block a few times and is no stranger to free drinks and debilitating hangovers. Currently resident at Cornerstone with frequent gigs at Sunrise Afterhours, Club Heaven and various other events, he is busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest these days. He’s appeared on the bill with DJ’s such as Hatiras, Mat The Alien, Luke Fair, Endo, Eddy Jasmin, and the immensely popular Jokers of the Scene of “Y’All Know The Name” fame.

He sent his latest mix my way and it’s outstanding. Complete party rocker from start to finish. Check it out here.
