CLASSICS IN THE HOUSE
Those of us without our heads firmly buried in
the sand will know that house music as we know
it owes as much to the live instruments and organic
disco of the 70's as it does to the hard and software
of later decades. 'Defected Presents Classics
In the House' is the first dance compilation that
puts Chaka Khan’s 'I'm Every Woman' next to Everything
But the Girl's 'Missing' and Chic's 'Good Times'
alongside New Order’s 'Blue Monday'. An essential
addition to any serious house fans collection...OUT

LABELLED: TSUBA
Continuing
our exploration of some of the world's most innovative
and diverse dance music labels, this week we catch
up with Kevin Griffiths to talk about his Tsuba
imprint. A relative newcomer to the game, Tsuba
has established itself as one of the UK's key
deep house players, and has served as a platform
for founder and A&R man Kevin to release his own
material as well as tracks from producers like
Steve Lawler, Milton Jackson and Peace Division.
We caught up with him to discuss current projects,
the UK's musical heritage and to lay a certain
rumour to rest... |

IBIZA MARCHES ON
Ibiza is unique. Where else has a holiday destination been so intrinsically linked to major musical and socio-cultural shifts over such a significant length of time? In other, simpler words it rocks. Even now, this season, as global recession walks a smudgy footprint over our sparkling White Isle, there are hugely encouraging signs that the island is fighting back...

one of world's most renowned DJ's and producer’s

special. With a knack for consistently evolving
as an artist, and with a with a CV that boasts
countless successful releases and impressive collaborations,
it was time for Steve to tell us about his new
record, his admiration for THAT party island and

ill... |

THE SHAPESHIFTERS 'YOUNG DUBS EP'
the Shapeshifters have been back in the studio
and looking dangerous once again. After a huge
summer of releases last year including the massive
'Chime' and 'the Shapeshifters In The House' compilation,
these studio wizards return with the pedal to
