Hey, hope all is well! Come by the page and check out my newest tunes "Midnight Rush" and "Gamer's Delight" recently added to the player when you get a chance.
"Midnight Rush" has a more Brookes Brothers/Futurebound vibe while "Gamer's Delight" is just full-blown dirty analog bliss. Leave some love if you like what you hear, it's always appreciated. Big up!
For the first Nerve release of 2009, we're very proud to present the debut EP from Copenhagen's Jean Doe.
It's drum n bass tinged with detroit techno and deep house, from the glitchy beats of the title track to deep rolling vibes on "Nuance" and "Fibre" before fellow Copenhagen based producer Pyro joins him for the epic and uplifting "Ambitions in A Minor".
Como cada mes Nyahbingi Sound y Dance Crasher vuelven con una nueva fiesta Reggae a la Resistencia. Para esta ocasión contaremos con Badalonias como inviatados y alguna sorpresa más.

At Nerve Recordings, we're constantly on the look out for new and interesting artists pushing the drum n bass envelope and developing the music further. In the past few years, the techno influenced drum n bass has once again started to take a foothold so our very own Dj Pyro set out to find the most interesting prospects of this part of the scene. Join him, if you will, on his journey to new frontier
The new 7sins home proved to be a righteous home for the Maggik Hour, last month's debut appearance wickedly set off proceedings, now we are mostly all returned from our Cliff Richards (summer holidays) lets bustle up, bring it on and crank up the embers of the summer with this one off mid month Maggik Hour shindig.
13th September - Saturday.. this one coming..
10.30-03.30
7SINS BAR
Muntaner 7 (literally 2mins walk from Universitat Metro).
Just be aware a couple of new elements are to be added to the brew this time!! HEADS OFF!!.........................
This Saturday will be Dj..s Desmond Sonshine..s last outing at the Minusaclub. We have greatly enjoyed the bar and the continued support from yourselves that have meant a top evening on each occasion the needle met the groove. However the owners of the bar want to pay us half the money and yet still line their pockets with lots of your dinero, we don..t care about the cash, just the principle of the matter. We ain..t two chimney sweeps from the Dickens era, or on a youth training scheme in Burnley or plucking feathers from a bernard matthews turkey (much as we much look like it).
So this Saturday, please join us one more time before we move to the rooftops of Barcelona. Over the Summer months the Maggik Hour will continue with a series of parties that we are hosting on various roof terraces of this wonderful city and all FOR FREE, no greedy bar owners or bar prices. After the summer we will start a residence at a well respected venue without all the shite we have had to put up with over the months!
