2009 has been a great year for dance music. Fresh tracks and new genres popped up from all four corners of the globe, while mainstream pop music has been the most boring since years (err, could anyone name one serious chart storming tune for 2009?) . As the year is coming to an end, it’s time to do what most bloggers do aka. make the ‘best of the year’ lists. Here’s some of our favourite tunes in 2009. With a lot of hot new stuff in the oven for Man Recordings (Schlachthofbronx EP,  Beware-Motorpitch EP, Edu K EP, Bert On Beats EP, Seiji EP, Isa GT EP produced by Crookers, Daniel Haaksman album, Man Rec 5 Years compilation) 2010 is going to be even bigger!

Crookers and Andy Cumming are on holidays and will present their faves later.

Almost half a year after the closing of Berlin´s Scala club, where we had our last regular club residency, we are now happy to announce the start of a new monthly club event in Berlin. The night is called “Heat” and will be every 2nd Thursday on the small floor at piping hot WMF club in Mitte.

Our very first guest at Heat next Thursday (10th of Dec) is DJ Beware. On January 14th there is João Brasil and February 11th Wildlife!. Every three months a Heat special will be staged on the big floor at WMF, the first is on Jan 30th with Sinden, Drop The Lime, Schlachthofbronx, Ku Bo Live and myself. Berlin, the heat is on!

WILDLIFE! releases his new EP “JUMBIE” with remixes from a whole bunch of Man Recordings artists such as Schlachthofbronx, Mixhell, Dj Beware & Motorpitch and Edu K. Once more WILDLIFE! highlights the tropic’s darker side of life with this dark, percussion driven smasher to keep caribbean ghosts busy on any given dancefloor.

Our homie WILDLIFE! (AKA the Swiss Johnny Depp) is a generous man, which is why you can get the WILDLIFE – Jumbie (Beware & Motorpitch Remix) for free here.

Be sure to check out the rest of the EP, out now on Beatport

There are certain individuals who just encompass the vibe of their city in everything they do wherever they go, and Bobbito Garcia is definitely one of those souls. When Bobbito came and did a mix  live for my radio show, a couple of weeks back, it was like New York City walked into the studio.

For those who don’t know, Bobbito, together with Stretch Armstrong  ran a hip hop radio show in the early, mid 90’s for on WKCR fm for 8 years in NYC. The show was also syndicated all over the United States as well to other continents. This was definitely THE radio show for hip hop  lovers,

a)they played the best tunes, no commercial pop rap stuff

b) they had the best guests – still unsigned Nas, Jay Z, Biggie, Big Pun, Fugees, Big L  and many more all came on the show for interview and freestyle

c)  with the help of Lord Sear, were responsible for some of the best comedy I have ever heard on any radio show.

Since the end of his radio days, Bobbito has been keeping himself busy as a DJ, writer, streetball player, magazine creator and sneaker consultant. Its been a good few years since he has been on a radio, so it was definitely an honour for me to have him on. We had a good chat, cracked a few jokes, and Bobbito did a wicked latin set.

Find out what Bobbito though his website.  Sneaker fanatics look out for his new Pro Keds basketball shoe coming out end of this month. Music heads look out for Bobbito and Rich Medina’s compilation “Connection- Modern explorations in Afro Beat & Afro Latin”.

Big thanks to Bobbito for letting me blog the mix and interview. Get it here.
