Louche is a Leeds and London based club night - www.louchemusic.com http://www.louchemusic.com en-us info@louchemusic.com info@louchemusic.com http://www.louchemusic.com/images/PodcastCover.jpg http://www.louchemusic.com 300 300 We've been itching to release this podcast since it was sent over; a real peach of a mix by Genius Of Time. Hailing from Göteborg Sweden, the duo have been putting tip top quality house music out since 2010, on their own imprint Aniara and the excellent Royal Oak Records. Their productions are raw and expressive, sounding like music made in the heart of Chicago rather than Scandanavia, and you can hear these U.S. influences poking through in their podcast. We're happy to announce that you can catch the boys playing with Louche and Brawther in Room 3 at Fabric this March, and after hearing this mix we can't wait! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E066-FFA Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:14:19 +0000 Trimsound owner Leif Knowles lays down some grooved out house for our 65th instalment, an hour long melodic work out that's really got our feet tapping. The half Swedish, half British DJ and producer has been releasing his shuffly, uber funky beats since 2003, on labels such as Morris Audio, Fear of Flying, Moon Harbour and promising new Leeds based label FINA. His DJing has taken him right around the globe, from Tokyo to Budapest and beyond, he's even resident at one of the UK's coolest festivals Freerotation. The mix is a great addition to the series we're sure you'll concur! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E065-FFA Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:05:09 +0000 Young New Jersey natives Voices Of Black turn out our first mix of 2012, a few weeks ahead of their upcoming gig at Mint Club alongside Gadi. The Wolf + Lamb wonder-kids' debut release 'Plastik Dolls' on the Brooklyn taste making label was a colourful journey through house and disco, owing much to their greatest influences, such as Fela Kuti, George Clinton, J Dilla & Thom Yorke. Look out for their new album, coming out this year, which we're told is a cosmic and highly soulful masterpiece. Their Louche Podcast grooves in typical Wolf + Lamb fashion, and after having this on repeat at Louche HQ for a while now, we can't wait to welcome them to Leeds for their city debut. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E064-FFA Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:35:24 +0000 Matthew Burton delivers Louche 63 from his base in sub zero Berlin. The English producer from Nottingham, now residing in Germany has been involved in electronic music for 10 years, and this experience shows in his forward thinking, superbly produced music. With releases on Visionquest, Sammy Dee's new imprint Ultrastretch, Leftroom and Retrofit, plus another full release on Visionquest out soon, it's clear to see we have an extremely talented dude on podcast duty this week. The mix is absolutely class, moving from dub reggae to minimal house to darker, african influenced techno, all drenched in groove and soul. A real winter warmer this one, turn it up loud! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E063-FFA Wed, 14 Dec 2011 01:00:01 +0000 Young New Yorker M A N I K delivers our next episode, an artist currently sitting right at the top of his game. Chris' releases this year have included an album on Josh Wink's Ovum, a release on Hot Creations and very recently an EP on Culprit; needless to say the dude's production skills are absolutely razor sharp. A unique, fresh, and forward thinking musician Mr M A N I K's skills on the decks are also unquestioned, his beats taking him right the way round the world so far this year, From London to L.A, Berlin to Barcelona. We've been speaking to Chris for about 6 months trying to lock this baby down and we're delighted to finally release the mix, which by the way, is badass! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E062-FFA Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:39:52 +0000 It gives us great pleasure to put out a DJ mix by the one and only Crazy P this week. The 5 piece band, together since 1996 (wow!) are Leeds faithfuls, with strong ties with 2020 Vision, and the party Asylum, where Crazy P just last weekend played their 8th birthday party. The bands musical roots lie in early house and techno, and their performances, while playing live or Djing stay true to these influences, whilst merging them with disco, soul and boogie vibes. We've seen them play many many times before, including Sonar Barcelona and at this years marvellous Secret Garden Party, where they took the bloody roof off! The mix is a funky eclectic compilation, a perfect weekend starting podcast. Follow the guys on Twitter here: and check their website here: http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E061-FFA Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:33:00 +0000 José Manuel Alvarez, also known as Dubbyman is up next, delivering a deeper than deep mix to add to the Louche series. The Spaniard debuted as a DJ in '92 under the name José Vertice, spinning acid house, with tinges of funk and hip hop amongst his sets. Flash forward to now and his sound is deeper, more dubbed out house with electrofunk flavours, as attendees of Sonar Festival and the highly respected Free Rotation will testify. He and his brother Above Smoke run the label Deep Explorer, where their productions are released alongside international artists like Mike Huckaby, Rick Wade, Sascha Dive and The Lady Blacktronika. The mix is top notch, a tidy addition to the series. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E060-FFA Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:48:26 +0000 Born and bred Parisian Shonky mixes our next episode, ahead of his hotly anticipated performance at our Leeds 4th birthday. A purely natural house DJ, the talented Frenchman has had quite a year; he was heavily involved with this year's Circo Loco parties at DC 10, released some massive bombs and is currently setting a label up with Dan Ghenacia and good pal of Louche Dyed. Look out for the imprint Apollonia, coming very soon to a record shop near you. The mix crosses differing channels of house, grooving from funky stabs and rhythms to tougher edged sounds. A worthy addition to the series, and excellent taste maker for our next Leeds party- November 19th. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E059-FFA Thu, 03 Nov 2011 00:57:00 +0000 Following our last mix from Tama Sumo, the Ostgut Ton Louche takeover week continues, with Achim Brandenberg AKA Prosumer stepping up to the decks. To say this is an honour is an understatement, the guy is right up there on our favourite DJs list; needless to say we're beyond privileged to put a mix out by this dude. Our Ostgut Ton showcase at Mint is fast approaching, and this serves as another flavoursome little taster of what to expect; Tama's podcast was awesome, as is this one, thanks Achim! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E058-FFA Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:28:20 +0000 Cool as ice German house music coming at you this month, courtesy of Ostgut Ton and Panorama Bar's Tama Sumo. Kerstin Egert has been part of the Ostgut family for many years; since the days of the old Berghain. Her residency has since continued into the new location of the legendary club in Friedrichshain, Berlin where she regularly thrills party goers with her fresh musical direction. Integrating different electronic music genres into her sets, she has developed a varied style ranging from House in all its colours, combined with reduced Techno, old Electro, Disco and Pop. This podcast demonstrates just that, a lovely mix. which has got us right in the mood for our Ostgut showcase next weekend at Mint Club. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E057-FFA Wed, 12 Oct 2011 22:19:00 +0000 One of the UKs' hottest labels owners step up to the plate this week, with Hypercolour Records' Alex Jones and Ste Roberts getting in on the series. Set up in 2006 the imprint has released tracks and remixes from the likes of Kris Wadsworth, Maya Jane Coles, Agnes, Jozif and many more, to the delight of fans of underground house and techno the world over. As well as having a sense of humour, and never taking themselves too seriously the label consistently avoids trends and themes, resulting in true musical freedom for the artists, and something continually different for record buyers, djs and clubbers. The podcast is deep and quirky, hypnotic and jacking. Unmissable shit from the lads! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E056-FFA Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:15:00 +0000 Soul Clap presents: music for grown folks, a tribute to Cyrus. An extra special podcast this week, from our good pals Soul Clap. After meeting Brinsley's dad Cyrus at a party over the summer the boys were so taken by the music aficionado and all-round Ibiza legend that they wanted their Louche Podcast to reflect not just their tastes, but his too. With tracks selected by Cyrus, ourselves, and Eli and Charlie, this mix navigates house, disco, a bit of classic rock n roll and hip hop in classic Soul Clap fashion, perfectly arranged and dripping with class. Leeds subscribers will know all about the Clap's imminent gig with us, and from listening to this bad boy we're even more exited for the next Louche at Mint Club. Thanks guys, we'll see you Saturday. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E055-FFA Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:56:00 +0000 Leeds is still shaking after the Bicep boys rattled our fair city to her core in July, and now we're delighted to put out a podcast by the Northern Irishmen. Through their world renowned blog "Feel My Bicep" they push disco, funk, Italo, house and techno old and new, always of a high standard, their taste in music clearly impeccable. Their sound when playing out and producing nowadays is raw, ruff n tuff house, the guys slightly moving away from more discoey music, that they still frequently push on the blog. Their set at our annual summer courtyard party, and again later on that evening at Mint were both top banana, as is this mix. Cheers lads! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E054-FFA Fri, 26 Aug 2011 08:34:00 +0000 An excellent mix from Detroit chappy Kris Wadsworth this week. The Hypercolour and Morris Audio producer has written his own special message to accompany the mix, so we'll leave this in the words of the man himself...Recorded on the first take while I was high as fuck on water and Marlboro 100's, two hours after I woke up on August 1, 2011 with: my personal 1210's, my shitty-ass taped headphones that have dog bite marks on them, some needles I had laying around next to syringes, strictly vinyl only from my horrible fucking collection, and some skills I guess Ive gripped up after DJing since 16 years old in Uranus. Ive been a DJ in Uranus for about 11 years and Ive been making tracks in Uranus for about 13 years. Ive been on DJ hiatus in Uranus for awhile this year just making records and doing remixes. I hope Im ready to come rock with all you guys again soon. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E053-FFA Tue, 16 Aug 2011 12:05:08 +0000 Greg Paulus and Nick DeBruyn AKA No Regular Play met as eight year olds growing up in St. Paul, Minnesota, and after exploring music in ranging genres throughout their younger years, formed No Regular Play in 2008 when they met Zav and Gadi in Brooklyn. The pairing have been heavily involved with Wolf + Lamb ever since, contributing to the collective's supreme musical output with a string of releases and breath taking live shows, incorporating live trumpet played by Greg. Their Louche podcast is an exquisite listen: full of sensual vocals and chords, its no wonder they are held in such high esteem in the Wolf + Lamb camp. Check this one out, it's a hotty. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E052-FFA Fri, 05 Aug 2011 05:25:23 +0000 This weeks instalment comes courtesy of Frenchman Brawther, who has been turning heads of late. A producer for about five years as both Brawther and as his moniker Izmo, the young Parisian has been influenced by house, real garage and ambient Warp-esque electronica on his journey to become the accomplished, versatile producer and DJ he is today. He's heavily involved in scorching hot labels 'My Love is Underground' and Balance Recordings, producing for the former under the alias Paris Underground Trax. He even bagged the first release on secretsundaze's new imprint. Need we say more about this dude's serious electronic music skills. The mix is pure class, warm analog sounds from start to finish, a more than worthy addition to the series. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E051-FFA Wed, 27 Jul 2011 22:34:00 +0000 It's been just over two years since the launch of our podcast series, and after 49 episodes and by our maths about 350,000 beats, we've reached our first milestone. Who better we thought to call upon to record our half century than our good pals at Wolf + Lamb, the mix coming exclusively from Baby Prince, the artist formerly known as Gadi Mizrahi. This special, extended episode was mixed live at Farbfenseher, or as Gadi calls it 'the Marcy of Berlin', a club which encapsulates the vibe of the collective's spiritual home in Brooklyn. Spanning house, hip hop and disco this mix is exactly why we can't get enough of this label, and anyone that has been to one of our Wolf + Lamb parties over the years will definitely recall hearing some of these sexy ass tracks. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the series so far, and to all you subscribers out there. Here's to the next fifty : ) http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E050-FFA Tue, 12 Jul 2011 11:08:20 +0000 Fresh off the back of their debut performance in Mint Club for us in June, Bristol boys Futureboogie step up to the decks. The DJ's, promoters, label heads and booking managers comtinue to go from strength to strength with a string of performances planned across various festivals this summer. The mix crosses house and party starting disco in typical Futureboogie fashion, perfect summer time listening we're sure you'll all agree. Including cuts from Art Department, Midland and more… tune in, sit back and freak out! So podcast number 49 is out. The big half century coming soon. Who has done it? Watch this space… http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E049-FFA Tue, 05 Jul 2011 09:43:00 +0000 A tribute to the Windy City this week, as we introduce our newest episode, courtesy of Mr Murphy Jax. Somewhat of a throwback to the golden era of Chicago and disco, Jax maintains classic vibes in his work, and we simply can't get enough. Lush melodies and vocals wash over this mix of Chicago house and disco, full of old gems, a few of which your bound to recognise. We'd hazard a guess that Larry Levan would be all over this like a tramp on chips. You can catch his own productions on 12", released by Dutch label Clone and Canadian My Favorite Robot. Keep your ears to the ground for his upcoming release "We Dance" on Turbo Recordings. For now though, sit back, and enjoy this absolute peach of a dj mix. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E048-FFA Thu, 23 Jun 2011 23:01:00 +0000 Chicago native Kate Simko lays down our next chapter. Kate’s unique path into music making has led to a distinctive and innovative sound that has carved her niche in dance music’s avante garde. With a background in classical music Simko has been releasing music since 2003, on labels such as Traum, Ghostly International and Spectral. Her latest release, the ten track album 'Lights Out' on Hello?Repeat literally dropped this week, so there could not have been a better time for her to record a Louche mix. The podcast is aimed at the dancefloor, grooving as smoothly as silk between house and techno with the occasional disco flourish. Ch ch check it out. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E047-FFA Tue, 14 Jun 2011 23:11:47 +0000 Christopher Rau delivers a soothing instalment for Louche's 46th episode, spanning instramental, vocal and gritty cuts; Rau conveys his hip-hop roots through some first-rate selections. Residing in Hamburg, Rau has imprints on labels as Smallville, Pampa, Ethereal Sound and his own Dérive. His productions embrace multiple layers of slow moving melodys that build and build adding hints of vocals and drums, the acclaimed Asper Clouds LP has been likened to the work of Move-D which isn't suggested lightly... we reckon this lads got talent. To fully appreciate his work, turn up the volume get fully immersed. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E046-FFA Mon, 06 Jun 2011 20:54:00 +0000 Next up is an insight into the sounds of up and comer BNJMN. His debut album on Amsterdam mega label 'Rush Hour' tests the confines of electronica, treading a hybrid ground between house, techno and dubstep. Deep, intrinsically melodic and densely layered soundscapes sit against references from the early 90’s, making for a very interesting and unique listen. This well put together podcast offers us glimpses into the vibe of his album, and shows why luminaries Steffi, Surgeon and Deetron hold him in such high regard. This young prodigy is destined for big things, and we're chuffed to put a mix out by him. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E045-FFA Thu, 26 May 2011 15:50:00 +0000 When Art of Tones released a series of two EPs on 2020vision in 2005, people thought it was a well known producer using a secret alias. It was in fact Ludovic Llorca, a very well known producer, but in the jazz and downtempo scene. WHat started as a side project, nowadays Art of Tones is Llorca's main project, and he has really been perfecting his more straight up, dubby dance floor orientated house music since. Last years "The World As I Live It" EP on Room With a View in 2010 was a big success, both critically and commercially, and his remix work includes tracks for labels such as 2020vision, Freerange and Compost Black. The mix is a lovely summery blend, hinting at Ludovic's backgrond in jazz whilst maintaining Art of Tones' typical house groove. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E044-FFA Tue, 17 May 2011 12:17:57 +0000 East London DJ, promoter and music journalist Jane Fitz serves up this weeks mix. Djing since the nineties in London and her old home Hong Kong, Jane has always shown a natural aptitude to house music of all kinds. She's taken this passion for the music we all love around the globe, from Watergate to Free Rotation Festival to Secretsundaze, as well as at her own parties, PEG, which have come to be renound in and around London. Her long running weekly radio show on myhouseyourhouse.net is very well respected, and it was perhaps her early work on pirate London radio stations that makes her such a good broadcaster. We can't stop listening to this one, respect! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E043-FFA Fri, 06 May 2011 14:56:00 +0000 Next up we have Tanner Ross on number 42! New Jersey born, this guy has been making waves on labels such as Dirty Bird, Freerange, Airdrop and Culprit the past couple of years, and it seems to be paying off now. His career is starting to gain some serious momentum with wax on Double Standard, No.19 and !K7 all set to drop very soon. This mix starts off with a classic joint from the late, great Nate Dogg, and slowly but surely unwinds into an extremely classy, funkified 64 minutes. Plenty of nice, sleazy unreleased material of Tanner's own, thrown in for good measure. Tried and tested - perfect for barefooted, sunkissed afternoon raving! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E042-FFA Tue, 19 Apr 2011 21:54:00 +0000 Italian-turned-Irishman Lerosa dishes us up some tasty sonic delights for the next installment of the louche podcast series. With a killer album set to drop imminently on Uzuri, Leo has been setting our subs alight with this mix the past week. The mix, while taking tracks from varied walks and styles of electronic music, keeps a distinctively raw flavour throughout and proves Lerosa to be a proper badman, definitely a name to be run through the lips and ears of many for time to come. Did someone say acid bassline?... Well done sir! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E041-FFA Thu, 07 Apr 2011 13:46:00 +0000 Our next mix comes from Canadian duo The kings Arms aka James Teej & Aaron Santos. Both hailing from Toronto James & Aaron are part of the "Toronto Connection" that have been breaking through over the past year like artists such as My Favourite Robot & Art Department no less. The Kings Arms project is spin off from the duos usual sound touching on anything from classic house to nu-disco, french house and even a dash of pop flavourings which is all hear in the mix. With some scheduled releases coming out over the next few months things are looking up for the duos new project, listen in to hear what it's all about! http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E040-FFA Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:05:00 +0000 A mix from an excellent producer and DJ this week, as Jan Krueger steps up to the decks to record our thirty-ninth podcast. Starting his career in '96 in Dusseldorf, warming up for some of his heroes in an abandoned wine cellar, Jan now finds himself at the very top of his game. With a residency at Watergate, and releases on Hello?Repeat and Moon Harbour, Jan's lovely, rough edged deep house and techno is finding its way into all the right boxes, and this mix demonstrates exactly why he is regarded as such a top drawer DJ and electronic music writer. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E039-FFA Thu, 24 Mar 2011 11:55:22 +0000 Ever since we witnessed Fred P's epic four hour set in Panorama Bar last December the mans music hasn't been far from our attention. He's booked for our party this weekend, and now we're happy to announce that we have an exclusive podcast too. The Soul People Music owner, who also produces under the alias Black Jazz Consortium has an emotive and truly brilliant deep house sound, clearly evident through his studio and club work. This mix is a real gem, building in intensity throughout, the perfect warm up for Saturday nights event. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E038-FFA Fri, 11 Mar 2011 13:42:00 +0000 Good friend of Louche Jef K mixes this weeks instalment, and we’re thrilled with the results. The Parisian maestro- our headliner for last years New Years Eve Party in Leeds has put together a lovely mix, which ebbs and flows through different genres of house like a cool mountain stream. Jef’s releases on his own label Silver Network, including last years massive ‘In My System’ was received well on all corners of the globe, and on listening to this mix, the Frenchman’s natural flair for house music is very apparent. Cheers Jef, for an excellent addition to the series ; ) http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E037-FFA Fri, 11 Mar 2011 10:20:00 +0000 Pokerflat, Connaiseur and 8bit have all released music from our next guest artist: Afrilounge stepping in to lay some beats down for our next installment. The South German trio Eduard, Richard and Markus’ groovy house grooves have been working dancefloors since 2005, when the three first starting jamming together and sharing creative energy. The mix has been in our ipods ever since the guys sent it, a nice little addition to the series. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E036-FFA Fri, 11 Mar 2011 09:39:00 +0000 We mix things up this week, with a podcast that differs in style from any that we have put out before. Michael J Collin’s recent Louche interview got across his love-hate relationship with the music biz, and sticking within this school of thought he has recorded an ‘Anti Mix’ for us. Not wanting to put out a normal 4/4 dancefloor orientated mix, this podcast is an experimental, dubbed out, ambient blend of acoustic elements, delays and guitars. Perfect for chilling too, and a very welcome change of pace for our series. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E035-FFA Fri, 11 Mar 2011 09:12:00 +0000 One of Detroit’s top deep house and techno producers Patrice Scott delivers our next installment, and it’s a lovely little addition to the series. Scott’s refreshing attitude to music, and his desire to be anything but the norm has won him the praise of all his peers, with DJs such as Levon Vincent, Fred P and Efdemin supporting his tunes from day one. His label Sistrum, launched in 2006 provides him with an excellent outlet to provide music for the masses, and receives rave reviews with every release. Patrice’s raw and emotively charged sound is at the forefront of the latest wave of electronic music to emerge from the Motor City, and it’s a pleasure to have him record a mix for us. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E034-FFA Thu, 10 Mar 2011 22:46:00 +0000 This week our upcoming guest Matthew Styles delivers a worthy podcast to open up 2011 for us. If you asked us what DJ’s mixes did we most enjoy from 2010, Matthew would have been at the top of our list. One of the most underrated DJ’s around Styles has graced the floors of Fabric, Panorama Bar & Watergate whilst releasing on labels such as Horizontal and Crosstown Rebels.

The producer, designer and fashion photographer has seriously been blowing up of late; his unique and provocative ultra modern sound environments turning heads the world over.

Releasing since 2002 on labels such as Warp, Pokerflat, Playhouse and even Minus, this guy is seriously hot, and its a pleasure to release this high energy, funk fuelled mix. ‘Hot Raw Sex’ translated into electronic music at its very very best. http://www.louchemusic.com 809AC33C-6835-49D8-B9F3-E87BB02BB124-152-000003036745E031-FFA Thu, 10 Mar 2011 19:00:00 +0000 A pumping house mix for your ears this week, mixed by Freak n Chic’s Chris Carrier.
