2007, the year of the Remix

2007, in dance music terms is the year of the remix. There are shed loads of tunes being dug up from the vaults and re-released with a fat beat/electro beat/breakz (select appropriate mix type!).

Nothing is sacred! Actually, it shows that there is a lack of originality - there is a lack of really good music out there - so tunes of yesteryear are being rehashed/mashed up/remixed/re-released and then some. Is this a sign that the four to the floor format is worn out? I don't think so. I think it is most likely down to the fact that the technology is more accessible, and there people out there who can't really construct music, so they just rip someone elses idea and stick a 'fat electro beat' with it...job done

There are some good re-workings out there, but there are also some truly awful ones. Re-making a classic tune is not as easy as you might think! !

The Taproom is the new cool in St Ives

It's official, The Taproom is the new cool in St Ives. Located on Bridge Street (at the 'bridge' end) The Taproom is tapping successfully into a niche that has been missing in St Ives - the chilled, contemporary bar type place where it's cool to chill and read a book while sipping wine on a week day, but also where it's cool and hip to be seen in conversation on any night of the week.

I'm hoping to play down there soon..it has a good atmosphere...
