D-Node 153: Will Azada | Proper Trax

In cities across America, there are those people who take on the struggle to keep proper dance music a part of their cultural landscape.

D-Node 152: Harvey McKay | Drumcode + Soma

DJ/producer Harvey McKay spent years in the Glasgow underground until he became known internationally for some explosive tracks. "Nightwalker" on Soma, "Show Face" on Saved, and "Supercell" on Drumcode are some of the most memorable, and they also demonstrate a wide stylistic range, an ability to incorporate a house feel at will.

D-Node 150: Abdulla Rashim | Prologue

So here's the official word on Abdulla Rashim, and the first sentence is pretty much our favorite way of introducing a DJ/producer: "Not much is known of the mysterious producer Abdulla Rashim. Being situated in Sweden and having released two records, ASAYITA and GIZAW in 2011 on his own imprint, Abdulla Rashim Records, Abdulla keeps both his sound and himself below the surface." We're also allowed this visual to the left. Need we say more? His dark, psychedelic tracks have been making t...
