Top Track: Alex Picone ‘Floppy/Furby’

Section: Music News Topics: DJ Gossip
Written by: Zack Rico

Luciano stopped playing Alex Picone ‘Floppy/Furby’ about six months ago, but it still took his label Cadenza that long to release the two-tracker tech house beauty.

Quite why ‘Floppy/Furby’ took such a long time to get released is anyone’s guess, but the double-decker is definitely worth snapping up.

The Godfather of Tech-House: Eddie Richards interview

Section: Music News Topics: Beatport Blog
Written by: Lee Smith

Dance music is littered with unsung heroes and underground legends, but few DJs have been as instrumental in shaping the sound of tech-house as ‘Evil’ Eddie Richards.

From his residency at London’s Camden Palace in the ‘80s, through to his involvement with esteemed parties and clubs like Clink Street, Wiggle, and latterly, Fabric, Eddie has consistently been revered by house and techno connoisseurs for his influence on today’s scene.

We caught up with Eddie after his closing set at The End last weekend, where he was playing at the club’s Summer Of Love party with DJs including Mr C, Danny Rampling, Kid Batchelor, and many more heroes of acid house.
