Basement Jaxx Remix of Vampire Weekend - White sky
Basement Jaxx have been producing house tracks since the 90s and there sound is always very uplifting and is always different. You never know if its going to be more on the funky side of house or on the tech house side. I love tech house.. so Yahoo! for this track. They seriously lay down the law with this summer track that is both techno and very uplifting. I'm surprised I barely discovered it until now consider it came out last summer, and damn did it make the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I really thank Basement Jaxx for this gift of a song.

This week Blind Spot Radio hosts Speedy J from Holland. Speedy J should be a household name if you're into techno, but just in case you're not, Speedy J has been active since the early 90s. He first major albums, Ginger and G-Spot, were released on Richie Hawtin's label Plus 8 label in the early 90s. Since then he has gone on to produce multiple LPs and EPs. He also has his own record label Electric Deluxe which features its own podcast. Dr. Hoffman opens the show with a *reallly* hard set. Check it out.

Richie Hawtin live sets @ Tokyo, France and Miami 2011
Anyone who knows techno has definitely heard of Ritchie Hawtin. He has been a staple in the techno seen since the early 90's. Of course he is also known as Plastikman, the live minimal techno producer. I was able to track down three of his live sets that show just how varied his sound really is. On the far far left, from France, we have a very experimental type of set that you would expect to hear from Plastikman. If you're looking for those abstract and strange beats n rhythms, you need to check out that set. On the far right, we have his set from Miami. A very uptempo, pounding, peak-hour techno set that would be very typical in a club at 2 AM. Right in the middle, we have his Tokyo set. Its not all upbeat, pouding or even experimental, but it's more tech-house with a bit of techno sprinkled in there to add a moody element to the set. Whatever your flavor, you're sure to enjoy either one of these sets if you're a Hawtin fan or a connoisseur of techno in general. Enjoy.

Dr. Hoffmann's Blindspot Radio Show presents Luke Slater.
Although this isn't the most recent show, this mix definitely had to be put up for everyone to check. This week Dr. Hoffman welcomes Luke Slater from Redding, England. Luke has been involved in DJing and producing techno since the early 90s.Since that time he has released LPs and EPs on General Production Recordings, Peacefrog Records, Mute Records and Ostgut Ton. He set up his own label, Mote-Evolver, in 2006 and also releases music under the moniker Planetary Assault System. In this mix, Luke drops tracks that are more on the twisted side but with a slightly minimalistic beat. Don't get be wrong though, the beat will pound your subs. Sad to say, but the tracklist is not available. The set was recorded live at a secret location. Of course, as always, Dr. Hoffmann opens the show with a hard, bangin, one-hour mix. I'll let the mix speak for itself, so take a listen.
