Juno's suggestions confirmed generally weak imo, something about that whole
site just rubs me the wrong way, like beatport.

It's funny to me we have a million different places on the internet to
supposedly connect and share good music in a better way, but still nothing
beats just talking to someone whose taste you respect and seeing what they
are into.  Just reading a few friend's best of year lists gets more mileage
from me than 50 spam mails from Juno shotgunning whatever is coming off
their conveyor belt

"I for one love discogs in all its imperfection. The new release listings for
artists in yr collection is nice when you've been away for a while.

Besides 'discover function' algorithms always vary, juno's always feels a
bit weak but Rushhour and Hhv.de are good.

Plus its nice to surf outta discogs too, maybe some like myspace sprawl or
something, the whole web should be branching + connecting..

No pleasing some people. ;-P

Mike Dunn - House from All Angels ( More About Music/BlackballMuzik) just
dropped this week available at fine record stores everywhere like Bent
Crayon. Just cop it, you'll be hearing a lot of tracks played out over the
next few months.

Not sure what wave we are in now, but I recently came across a few new 
Detroit labels:



Portage Garage Sounds

Vanity Press Records: 
https://www.discogs.com/label/980200-Vanity-Press-Records 




Clave House: https://www.discogs.com/label/1197543-Clave-House 




Anyone know of any others? Always interested to hear what the youngins 
are up to!

Re: Beyond the sixth/seventh/eight wave?

[jwan allen]

I've got a a couple off of clave, picked up from bent crayon, I was
intrigued by what I've heard thus far and the fact that I'm not
already familiar with the principles involved.

Sure it kinda sounds like something we already own, but I'm looking
forward to see how they progress.
