The low down on Antiquated Souls.

Antiquated Souls started with a group of house lovers who grew up in an era of deep soulful house and living by the motto "if house was a nation i wanna be president".

Due to a decline of this genre of music especially in Johannesburg they were missing the sweet infectious sound of deep house, unfortunately to the flood of commercial and soulless music in the market and night life scene.

Together they decided to take a stand and start the movement Antiquated Souls. Since then they have kept it real with only the best deep driven beats classic and new defying being slaves of commercial influences and daring to be different.

The responce has been overwhelming and it was soon discovered there was a population of people waiting for a movement like Antiquated Souls.

They truely are ambassadors of deep house and we are proud to have them on our show.

HK Podcast 003 - Guest Mix by Jorge Medina, Hosted by Alex Sims by houseknights

Low down on Jorge Medina our first HK Guest Mix

For our maiden HK Guest Mix we've invited Jorge Medina aka Jasmim from central Portugal to get behind the decks and mix us an exclusive set. One of the few underdogs on the DJ'ing circuit in Portugal who actually still cares about the quality of music and maintains a strictly no commercial music policy when he's in the booth. Having only 4 years of professional experience under his belt, don't let that fool you, with African blood running his veins he could probably out play many of the big boys out there today. With his passion for the house and electronic routes to back him his live sets span from the deepest house to the most eclecitc techno. He has played in most of the major cities in central Portugal especially areas surrounding his home town Figueira Da Foz and is a familiar face on the underground scene. He grew up with Kraftwerk as his personal idols and listened to Thunderdome at the age of ten, poison in the booth is Licor Beirão (Portuguese Licor) with Red Bull and a pack of Marlboro, the only thing he never leaves home without are his keys and if given the chance he would take up DJ'ing as his profession. When asked what track would define him he replied Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygen 7. An essential booth would include all top of the line Pioneer equipment, 2 decks and his Mac.
Favorite cuisine is obviously Portuguese but nothing beats his mothers home made crumbed pork steaks. The last task we gave him was to describe himself in three words, he instantly said ''Fat, Eccentric and Honest''. You can catch his mix exclusively on the HK Podcast around mid August.

REVIEW: Fabric 47 - Jay Haze

I didn't think I would buy another Fabric mix for a while, that is, until I found out Jay Haze was next on the list. What makes this mix just that more special is that Jay is donating all the profits from the CD to the Merlin Health Services Charity. Not only a DJ, a humanitarian too as he expresses his frustration about the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the sleeve notes.
Kudos for Jay.
For the music too.

Recipe:
Dub
House
Reggae
Soul N Funk
Spice of tech
Dash of groove

London's longest running compilation returns with the american Jay Haze for it's 93rd release. A 20 track thumper of analog beats, deep grooves and booty shaking rhythms. Most of the music on the mix comes from Haze's own imprints Tuningspork and Contexterrior as well as showcasing his own tunes under his Fuckpony alias. The CD evolves from a soulful start into deep house, spins and weaves through the Chicago vibe with flamboyant preaching by The Lost Poets and Mike Dunn's Phreaky Motherfuckers, before it glides through melodic dubby tech house. No wonder it made Mixmag's house compilation of the moth. It's a mix of flavors elegantly mixed showing his versatility within the house genre. Artists include Lump, Alex Cellar, Dirty Bee, Wasted Chicago Youth and exclusives from Rockey, Little Dirty Ghetto Bastard and Michal Ho. I humbly award it 4/5 Knights.

Tracklist:

01. Intro
02. Jay Haze - Awakening
03. Lil Dirrty Ghetto Bastard - An Hour To Fly
04. Mike Dunn Presents MR. 69 - Phreaky MF (Mike Dunn's Original Phreak Mixx)
05. Lump feat. Lerato - Confusion
06. Catrat feat. Yah Meek - Freedom (Jay Haze Main Mix)
07. Alex Celler - Trapped In Dub
08. Miss Fitz - Dementia
09. Jay Haze feat. Ricardo Villalobos - Mellow Dee
10. DIY - Pimp My Saw
11. Jay Haze feat. D:exter - I Can't Forget (Fuckpony Discotech Dub)
12. Wasted Chicago Youth - Mars Or Bust
13. The Last Poets - When The Revolution Comes / Pheek - Soundscape
14. Michael Ho - Ain't Going Out Like That
15. Dirty Bee - Work For Me
16. Johnny Fiasco - Conduction

REVIEW: Fabric 46 - Claude VonStroke

San Francisco based, Detroit raised power house producer Barclay Crenshaw aka Claude VonStroke finally lands his spot on the famous London based Fabric Series. After his At The Controls complilation CVS released back in late 2007 on Resist Music, again he showcases his flawless track programming abilities with a 22 track bumper tech mix, he weaves his way through bleepy tech house whilst keeping an old school feel to the whole mix. Two of his tracks are featured including ''Aundy'', the lastest single of his Mothership label which helped launch the likes of Italoboyz, The Martin Brothers and Catz 'n' Dogz. Other artist included in the mix are Detroit Grand Pubahs, Donk Boys, Stimming and Peter Lauer just to name a few of my top tracks. His hip hop roots are present while he drops cheeky acapellas, DJ Deeon's ''Shake It'' actually gets you bouncing around the dance floor, if it doesn't, you shouldn't be reading this. To sum it up, it's a compilation with long shelf life, timeless house, slippery wet basslines, wobbly kick drums and clean percussion. It get's 4/5 Knights.

Tracklist:

01. Ekkohaus feat. R. Wurz – Cry Baby / Ekkohaus feat. Mensa – The Healer
02. Claude VonStroke & Bootsy Collins - Yabadabadooza
03. Rob Van Valen – Trampen
