Hello my head-phoned friends! To celebrate the launch of our new facebook page, Podcast 21 is the best part of 2 hours and brings you some jolly spiffing house music.

We have also dug up some photos of parties gone by for old times sake. So come like us, not that we’re lonely but we’ll make sure you get yourselves first dibs on some lovely, spanking new mixes.

All by Myself

With DJ experience almost 30 years, born and bred Queens boy Joeski sure knows how to take things deep.

Throughout the 2000s, his originals and remix work have been well in demand, with Joeski remixing the likes of the Sneaker Pimps, Dajaé, Delacy, Dirty Vegas, Medway, DJ Sneak and more. He’s appeared on such labels as Hooj Choons, NRK, Ministry, Stealth and Junior Boys Own.

I stumbled across this track being played by Buzzin’ Fly’s Ben Watt (check out his DJ Mag Mix CD). All the fruits of his DJing career have been poured into building his label Maya Records. I absolutely love this kind of stuff, closing your eyes on the dancefloor and losing yourself in its hypnotic percussion and echoed lyric.

Delusionally Good?

I also have to make a mention in the way of London record label Delusions of Grandure. From which Tornado Wallace’s track Whispering Twirl came from.

An enclave of both established artists and fresh, undiscovered talent whose shared passion of deep underground Detroit-inspired house and disco are reflected in the quality output you will come to expect from the label.

Since its inception one year ago Delusions Of Grandeur have built an incredible reputation from the underground club scene through just 10 releases from producers such as DJ Nature, The Revenge, John Daly, 6th Borough Project, Session Victim, Kalabrese, CB Funk, Trickski, Manuel Tur, Tim Toh, Soultourist, Tornado Wallace, Linkwood and Franc Spangler.

Fans of the label include a whole host of DJʼs regularly controlling dancefloors worldwide including Deetron, Seth Troxler, Tim Sweeny, Soul Clap, Sebo K, Akufen, Charles Webster, Ewan Pearson and Ben Watt to name a few.

Our good friend and one half of Monkey Tennis. Lawrence Brookes has kindly made a mix and boy its a corker! We asked him a few questions to give us a brief insight into his monkey magic.

Larry, cracking mix, when did you put this together, what was happening that day, what mood were you in?

I recorded this on a sunny Saturday afternoon a few weeks back, just bought a load of new tunes that week and I was feeling… determined and ever so slightly tired and emotional.

Heavy Friday night no doubt. So the name Monkey Tennis, where is that from, Alan Partridge?

Yeah the name comes from Partridge – me and Matt (Ralph) had started a night down in South London and we needed a name for it. We both came up with a few ideas but it was a bit like that scene when Steve Coogan is at that meeting with the guy from the BBC, desparately trying to get a second series for his show and coming out with all sorts of rubbish. Backpacking with Chris Eubank, Arm Wrestling with Chas and Dave… Monkey Tennis came up and it just kind of stuck.

Apparently there’s another Monkey Tennis night in Sydney.

Yes, It looks like they have had the likes of the Inland nights guesting – Are you up for a grudge match?

You bet! As long as our air travel, hotel bill and expenses are thrown in…

Sounds great as long and we can join the tour. So what was the first piece of vinyl you bought?

First vinyl was Falco – Rock me Amadeus on 7″ from Woolworths on Finchley Road. It ended up wedged and warped down the back of mum and dad’s sofa after some vodka fuelled “parents are away for the weekend” house party. Great days, great times. First 12″ was M.A.R.R.S. – Pump up the Volume, still got that one.

What’s the most important track on your mix for you and why?

Not sure about most important but my fave track is that Hot Toddy mix of Never Gonna Reach Me by Crazy P. It’s rare to find a really good vocal house track these day in my opinion but this one’s right on the money, got a lovely sentiment and feel to it, really nice tune.

It’s funny, the other Crazy P track “The Hit” is probably one of my favourite Crazy P track. So what’s next for Monkey Tennis?

When we can get our shit together we’ll find another venue to throw a party and keep on keeping on. In an ideal world I’d find a big pot of money at the end of the garden, hire a decent space, get some of my mates and a special guest to play an all-nighter and put on a top night out.

A lot of time and energy goes into a putting a night on, lets hope we don’t have to wait too long for some more Monkey action.  Faze Action and Crazy P who both feature on your mix are performing at the Queen of Hoxton later on this month. You in?

Didn’t know that… Two of my fave producers at the moment – yeah I’m in, see you down the front!

You would hardly believe that the Carnivalism partnership has been going for 7 years now. And although our public appearances aren’t as prolific as they used to be, think of us more like your favourite takeaway delivery, bringing the Carnivalism vibes to you, rather than you coming to us. But don’t think that’s the end of our playing live. Like Arnie, we’ll be back…

A gradual and beautiful introduction from  Deneice Williams is a precursor to a track that Norman Jay will inevitably play over carnival weekend. Free by J Marky & Makoto (feat.Deeizm) is a D&B rendition that featured in a podcast Norman recorded for Time Out last summer and is sure to set the crowds on fire this weekend.

After he parted company with BBC London 94.9 in February 2008 due to programming issues and although Jazzy B has done a sterling effort in filling the gap, you can’t help but feel London is a little less richer without the dulcet tones of Norman picking out some musical gems every Sunday.

You can listen to Norman’s Timeout podcast by following this link;

In typical Carnivalism style Matt’s latest episode spreads genres. 60′s Philly Soul, the very first rap record from the 80s,Then there’s classic disco, late 80s Chicago house and electro house of today. Where the hell are you gonna put this your music library?

Paul Winley founded a doo-wop record label in 1956 that later on, became a hip hop label in 1976. Based on 125th Street, Harlem Paul was responsible for the “Super Disco Breaks” compilation albums that featured songs with popular breaks (of which would form the structure of hip hop songs) and were arguably the first breakbeat records in history.

Paul’s daughter Tanya “Sweet Tee”  Winley, as a result, was the first ever female rap artist to record a song in 1980 with her “Vicous Rap”. That was 2 years before Grandmaster Flash’s “the Message”.

History lesson over, class dismissed.

This Carnivalism podcast is an oozing funk tip.  Matt searches for something a little more old school.  It’s Disco, it’s Funk, but there are a couple of new house gems in there too.

Joe Claussell recently played “God Created Woman” at one of the many closing parties at Mr C’s the End in Holborn London. Produced by Teddy Douglas, the track touched the spot with the Need II Soul fans.

Native to Baltimore, Douglas heads up A&R of Basement Boys Records and his professional DJ career spans back to the early eighties.

Recorded back in September and dedicated to a brilliant weekend slopping about in the mud.  Inspiration coming from Greg Wilson, Horsemeat Disco & Hercules Love Affair, Gilles Peterson & Todd Terje to name but a few. Although the rain was torrential nothing was going to stop us having fun at the 2008 Bestival.

While  Gilles Peterson entertained the Bollywood Tent with Todd Terje’s edit of Chic’s “I want your love”, Horsemat Disco and Greg Wilson ruled the roost in the Rilza stage.

Thats just a handful of the DJs. I haven’t even mentioned any of the live acts!

At last year’s event I discovered the deep techy sounds Will Saul, man behind Simple Records for the first time DJing in the Rizla lorry. When he dropped Wagon Cookin’s “Start to Play”, I was mesmerised by this hypnotic track. It is now one that is very hard to leave out of the record bag when playing out.
