The nutty nutty CRAZY LARRY has embarked a few weeks ago on a month-long statewide journey! Crossing the United States diagonally, back and again, rigged with his super all-that-Larry-can-fly plane ticket, the Crazy one is puttin himself into a motley of culinary adventures. You can follow his whereabouts on the blog setup for the occasion http://crazylarry.posterous.com

This set has been recorded while CRAZY LARRY was on his Las Vegas stop. Picture a lavish yet smutty Vegas downtown cocktail room and yes… this is the perfect soundtrack to it. All time house classics flirt here with new groovy pieces, randy Larry… shaggy!

This live set was recorded on the occasion of Dirty Room’s appearance at the Airdrop party in Berlin at Bar 25, on June 12th. Organized for the arrival of the Fase boys in Berlin, by their two friends and transplanted Argentine clowns, Sirs Dirty Room and Santos Resiak.

You probably remember Mr. Dirty from his release on Airdrop (ADDIG008), the Itches EP, on which appeared two of his original bombs as well as remixes by the same crew of accolytes Fase Miusic Sender and Santos “Chuchugas” Resiak as well as a special appearance by Mr. Guti!

The energy is high on this set of Dirty’s, one can feel the shaking vibrations inside the famous Berlino spot, and the man is at the controls of this funky, groovy hour and half (edited to podcast length) recording. Watch out for more Dirty-ness coming up soon on Airdrop! But, not before you go clean your room you little rascal! NOW!

Can you believe that our last Soul Clap AirPod Episode dates back from a year ago! June 10th 2008! It was the recording of the release party for AD 002 – die Ente where the entire Boston family played, Soul Clap, Tanner Ross, Pat Fontes and Sergio! Eli had minus two tattoos on his body, Charlie looked like tweety, Tanner was already bald and Sergio, well a little less than now! Read the rest of this entry »

It goes like this: Samybo is French (Just like us!) Needless to say, the taste is there! The mix we are sending out today was recorded on the 10th of April 2009, at Pink Flower in Toulouse, where Samybo opened for Matthias Tanzmann. Good times! In 2008, Samybo released a record on Spanish label Room 613 with an elegant Lemos remix. The same Lemos which will be playing at Samybo’s party this week end in Berlin along Audio Werner. The bash is called “Climb the Fence” and announces itself to be a great success! Coming up for Samybo is a great release on AIRDROP, due for the summer. But I am obliged to cut things short here, it is way too tempting to reveal too much of a secret surprise! Enjoy the mix and check out the party details here and on flyer below! If you are in Berlin, don’t miss it and bring your toys – it will be happening in an abandoned kindergarten!!

For AIRPOD 22 (and the wonderful beginning of Spring in the northern hemisphere) what’s best than the fresh midtempo mix of a 22 years old kid. This mix blends a good amount of current and smooth 2009 tunes (that somehow feel like they have been around for a while) with a few tad older ones like Boeing’s Endless from the 2000 released Beta album we love so much. Amongst the garden-fresh tracks there is also Andrés Zacco’s Long Way, issued from his new release on AIRDROP, AD 007 – Seated Hopping EP. The mix is to be enjoyed lying down on the grass, in the warming sun while the air is still crisp.

For AIRPOD’s 20th episode, we are honoured to welcome the live recording of an artist we hold dear in our hearts: Mikael Stavöstrand. This was recorded in San Francisco in December 2008 at the occasion of the second installment of Auralism Records’ brand new monthly – Aural Therapy – happening every 3rd Friday at the newly refurbished Paradise Lounge.

For those of you who weren’t at our party at The Bunker on the 12th of December, with the performances of Soul Clap and Mikael himself – we are also very excited to announce the coming of Soul Clap’s new record “Puppy Crack”. The record features an incredible remix by Mikael Stavöstrand that you can preview right here – close to the beginning of this podcast episode.

More details about the record coming soon but we can already tell you that “Puppy Crack” is a potent dance drug and should immediately be banned to avoid further brain damage. Dripping into your drainage like some highly potent acid, the original version of the track breaks down into the wonkiest mayhem that clubbers’ ears have heard in a long time!

You will have to call in the ambulance and hope the doctor saving you when you overdose is Mikael Stavöstrand: he is just such a fine balancer and knows how to dose right: “Puppy Crack” becomes a deep entrancing affair with squelching noises and hypnotic synths that underline squeaking and clicking effects. Slowly the whole affair culminates in an evil addiction you did not even notice you developed!

The year is over! And what a year this one has been… a happy, eventful and gratifying year for us and our faithful AIRDROPPERS. Unfortunately this hasn’t been the case in the rest of the world. With so many social ordeals and structural fallacies, those who have always suffered keep on suffering. But let’s not let go of our great hopes for change. 2009 will be thought-provoking, to say the least, and the world needs that stimulation – upside down… inside out!

To create the link between ‘08 and ‘09 and to provide all of you with the most amazing grooves for the holidayzz what’s better than the sublime set and sounds of one of this ending year’s most interesting revelations, coming straight from France – AIRDROP’s birth country: MASOMENOS! Look out for the amazing remix MASOMENOS operated of SOUL CLAP’s GIRAFFE earlier this year – it’s located towards the end of the mix.

But wait wait, here is the best piece of news: MASOMENOS WILL BE TROPICALIZING NYC’s COLD WINTER, ON JANUARY 3rd of 2009 – and at our favourite spot: BAR 13! There we go, the bridge between both years is established, the buckle is buckled, 2009 will be amazing! Remember these words and make it happen! Fire it up! Ready to go!

SATURDAY JANUARY 3rd 2009
MASOMENOS @ BAR 13
35 EAST 13th ST – NYC

Exactly a month ago, we had the chance to receive Punisher and Sassmouth at Midweek Techno in Boston… and yes we were all immediately hypnotized. The duo embodies a great blend, each of the girls bringing their yin and yang. Both shared some music and my favourite piece remained Sassmouth’s “No Sleep ’til Kuujjauq” on Hej Records, Punisher’s imprint. Sass moved from Chicago to London earlier in the year. And around that time we also had the chance to assist Punisher’s pounding set on the Real Detroit Stage @ Detroit Electronic Music Festival in May 2008. It’s the recording of this set we are honored to send you today! Punisher’s Super High-Octane Beats will not give you a millisecond to even think about resting!! Also here is more info about Punisher’s great and long experience:
