Our man Mark de Clive-Lowe decides to give away his collaboration with Rahel as a free download through his bandcamp. “RAHEL has collaborated with Dudley Perkins, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Eric Lau.

Sister labels Tirk & Nang both sent us promos last month. Tirk No. 55 is by Milano discoheads The Love Supreme. Nang 07 is a remix package to Tirk’s best download seller in 2009, by Siberian discobears Acos Coolkas.

Clear bright blue skies in Istanbul today and what better way to celebrate then play some jolly nujazz, we’ll have time to play gloomy stuff in the impending winter season. Today’s menu is comprised entirely of Milano produce.

UK producer Dom Stanton aka Domu announces that he has quit making music : “The point is that I am no longer Domu. He is a character, always has been, and as of Friday 13th November 2009, he no longer exists.”

Three big names to choose from, if you wanna rock out in Istanbul tonight. Joe Lovano Us Five with Esperanza Spalding at CRR. Bear Funk maestro Bottin at Indigo. Brendan Moeller aka Beat Pharmacy at Crystal. Take a pick!

Californian punk rockers Mika Miko will play a farewell concert in Los Angeles next month (Nov09) after announcing the band is to split. The rockers will disband after six years together to allow the members to pursue other goals.

If you ask me the freshest names in the dance biz today, one of the few I’ll be uttering is the Lithuanian duo Downtown Party Network.
