For many, Global Underground is more than just a series of DJ mixes, it’s a succession of pitstops along the road of life. Many of us remember what we were doing when we first heard Sasha’s epic San Francisco or Ibiza mixes, or soundtracked our after-hours sessions with contributions from locations as diverse as New…
Featuring artists such as Decal, Phil Kieran, Americhord, Chymera, Magnetize, Metroneem, John Braine and Takeover Sound, the new Dreams of Electric Bleep compilation (released on Earwiggle’s Bandcamp on 6 October) shines a light on the emerging electro scene in Ireland at the turn of the Millennium – specifically the period from 1999 to 2005.

Madrid-born Wally Lopez has established himself as one of the best-loved (and most travelled) Spanish DJs and producers of the past couple of decades, with residencies at the likes of Space and Pacha in Ibiza, as well as London’s Ministry of Sound and The End, as well as through his The Factoria (part of the…
If electronic music had a global ambassador, it would arguably be Danny Tenaglia – the Brooklyn native has lived and breathed all things dance-related since he started to pick up his first vinyls as a ten-year-old.

Todd Terry is an iconic figure in the world of house music. The Brooklyn native’s contribution to the acid house movement with tracks like Weekend and Can You Party helped light the touchpaper for what is now approaching a four-decade career. Elsewhere, cuts like Something Going On, A Day In The Life, Keep On Jumpin…
Around the turn of the Millennium, no club or festival lineup was complete without the name of Jon Carter, the big beat virtuoso turned DJ celebrity, whose releases on labels such as Wall of Sound, Saville Row and Bugged Out! (holding a residency at the club of the same name) helped establish him as one…
An active participant in the dance scene since its foundation, Dave Seaman is synonymous with countless projects over a 30-plus year career – his work alongside Steve Anderson as Brothers In Rhythm; his classic Renaissance and Global Underground mix CDs (particularly GU016: Cape Town! – Ed); his Selador Recordings label, which he runs alongside Steve Parry; his…
