Daniel Vangarde 1971 -1987
I think everyone is a bit Daft Punked out, but not Dazed & Confused it would seem, as they've commisioned super excellent dj overlord CK303 to produce this retrospective mix of Daniel Vangardes works. Daniel Vangarde if you don't know goes by the real name of Daniel Bangalter and is dad to Thomas Bangalter from Daft [...]
Project Tempo – Project Tempo Vol3
The first post I ever made on Interesting Blends was a re-edit by the Project Tempo collective. It was what went on to be their hugely successful "Why Not?" a re-edit of the Carly Simon classic "Why". that was three years ago i think, and since then they've released two EP's and today have released [...]
Interesting Blends presents: Project Tempo vs The Balkan All Stars
People who followed the blog previously will know we've long had a tradition of procuring irregular mixtapes and palming them them off as Podcasts. Well not quite, but we're pretty proud that we've hosted some particularly good ones in the past. A big contributor to this has been the Parisian based edit project, erm… Project Tempo, of whom i’m an irregular [...]
Instruments Of Rapture : The Final Party
I've long been a fan of the Instruments of Rapture record label. Run by Ali Ooft! the label has released some truly brilliant 80's soaked re-edits, and is probably one of the labels most responsible for kick starting the whole re-edit scene that has dominated the more relaxed house sounds over the last 4-5 years. Instruments Of Rapture isn't only a re-edits label [...]

yep, we know we've featured a lot of Disco Deviance stuff of late, but we’ve been doing a lot of things with them of late. One of which is this short video we made for them at their latest party at the Queen of Hoxton, we were in attendance as our very own Project Tempo [...]
MCA & Burzootie – Drum Machine
Today we heard the very sad news of the death MCA from the Beastie Boys, and have decided to post a classic offering from the man himself. Drum Machine by MCA and Burzootie I'll hold off any further emotional outpourings, and just say this record was a huge influence on me [...]
Roger Martinez & funkuZ – Close Off Open Up
I’ve had a day at home and have spent most of it chilling out and sorting through music – both old and new. As a matter of course, a few choice tracks have popped up on my playlist and I thought I’d repost this track again on the blog. Roger Martinez & funkuZ – Close [...]
