As stated by Michael Baumann aka Soulphiction on the latest installment of Resident Advisor podcasts,
‘It’s featuring some new exclusive Philpot stuff as well as some classics. It’s more of a radio mix then a club set. Just a set I’d play on Monday morning for those who’ve been jackin’ at the weekend and are now trying to blend in at the office…’
I think I’ve found the perfect mixtape to ease all of us into a busy Monday morning. Enjoy the next 80 plus minutes of sultry deep house as provided by Soulphiction for Resident Advisor.

According to Pocket-lint, production of Technics dj grade turntables, the SL-1200 and SL-1210 models will discontinue after February 2010. Although, its common practice these days to use cd-j’s and mp3 formatted music as the medium, the iconic tools of the trade are still an industry standard in the booth. As quoted by Ian North, spokesperson for Panasonic:
“It is a sad day today but due to low sales globally in analogue turntables a decision to stop production has been made on Technics Turntables. For Australia this means we will receive our last shipment in March”.
Even with this bit of gloomy news, most beginners usually end up picking up someone’s used setup on craigslist. But in the grand scheme of things, this is something to mourn about.

Cage’s album “Depart From Me” is matched in intensity and naked honesty only by his live show. We opened for him this past July, and his set was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen.

Educated Consumers will be rocking a new set featuring the unreleased “Better Than This.” Lauren Schreiber will also join us for the first live performances of “Copy After Copy” and “Listen Close Enough.”*
The Axxxis is a new project from Pras of Fugees fame.
We will also have tape of several varieties.
