Jerry was one of the best drummers I've have ever seen, but besides that was one of the nicest guys you could have met. Jerry just seemed to brighten any room he was in and always have a good time. There honestly was never a time when I wasn't happy and excited to see Jerry (a drumming, record collecting, touring machine!). I'm still in shock about the whole thing. We're all going to miss him!!!
The New York Times has done an article about what happened.
You can pre-order the t-shirt now (Shipping Nov 10th) from RVNG

RVNG also have 15 of the limited edition 10th Anniversary posters for sale.
so, we're doing a Beats In Space 10th Anniversary Party this Friday in London at Plastic People (there will be more 10th Anniversary Parties coming up over the next couple months in different cities, by the way)... anyways, we're making 10th Anniversary T-shirts with the same design, but those won't be ready in time for this Friday, so I'm bringing along these hand screenprinted posters instead. they're 18 inches by 24 inches on 130lb paper. Only 50 were made. I'll try and bring about 20 to London, so come out and buy one! by the way, if you can't tell, the poster lists all the guests that have been on the show over the past 10 years.


I did a Balihu Records megamix for Danny Wang back at the end of July to help with his new retrospective "Daniel Wang Presents Balihu 1993-2008" on Rush Hour... the mix is now up on Pitchfork for Download.

Maft Sai caught my attention with his two Thai funk compilations called "Thai Funk ZudRangMa". The packaging for these comps is amazing too. I asked Maft Sai for a mix and he turned in something special. in his words "(with) this mix I didn't play too much of Thai Funk but instead "Luk Thung Music" = "Children of Rice Fields" which is the roots of Thai Funk most of the production is around late 60's - 70's + last couple of tracks is "Molam Music" = "Dance Doctor" Music of Thailand-northeast area (more percussion based) also on a same era as Luk Thung." it'll be something special, so make sure to check it out tonight.
he also does his own radio show called Radio ZudRangMa, so make sure to check that out!
The server that has all the shows seems to be down again. Just waiting for them to get that back online and I'll put up last nights show with Sal P. Hopefully we'll get it running later today (fingers crossed).

Tonight we've got Strangefruit returning to the show. This time, he'll be in the studio with us.
Next week Sal P from Liquid Liquid will be joining us in the studio for some vegan cooking lessons. Don't forget to check out Liquid Liquid performing live (and for free!!) in New York on Saturday, August 8th at the Damrosch Park Bandshell at Lincoln Center: more info.
Sal also has his Fist Of Facts project coming out on Claremont 56 right now. Here's a youtube video of that.
And if you're in Europe over the next two weeks, don't forget to come out to one of the parties I'm playing: Montpellier, Munich, London, and the Big Chill festival.

The French/Japan connection this week. I:Cube will be DJing at the Sunday Best party this weekend (July 19th) in Brooklyn and he'll also be out in Los Angeles on Saturday, July 18th for the Futurehouse Party at The Custom Hotel.
DJ KZA from Force Of Nature has just mixed the "I'm Starting To Feel OK Vol.3" compilation on Endless Flight.
Nice little mark down on the BIS t-shirts for the summer... all prices include shipping as well:
$15 for the US
$20 for Canada
$25 for the rest of the world.

we've now got a nice little comments section for each show underneath their playlist. So if you have some comment or question, leave your message there!

As you can see from the note above, I will be wearing my HNYSNDSYSTM speedo's during the show tomorrow. Hot stuff! Make sure you check out Honey Soundsystem whenever you're in San Francisco.
tonight it's Linger & Quiet from Portland and The Revenge from Glasgow.
Next week we've got Tony Lionni and Peter Kruder.
Coming up: Jus Ed, Ame, Henrik Schwarz, John Daly, Black Meteoric Star!
Just wanted to clear things up a bit about how to find where to download shows: just click on the blue bar that has the show number and date above the pictures for each show. That will bring you to the Playlist detail page where you can find the mp3 download link.
We'll be making this a little easier to figure out in the next couple days so that if you click on the DJ name or the pictures it will bring you to the download page, but right now if you click on the DJ name it brings you to a page listing all the DJ sets from that DJ on the show. In the future you'll be able to find this same info from just using the drop down menu on the playlist page with all the DJ names.
okay, that's it for now!

I'm really honored to present a mix tonight from one of my all-time hero's: Andrew Weatherall! He's had his hand in so much amazing music, from his early days working with Primal Scream to his group projects as Sabres of Paradise and Two Lone Swordsmen... and all the remixes he's done! He's one of those people where if I see his name on a record, I pick it up without listening.
And starting off the show tonight we've got a mix from Sean Johnston of the Hardway Bros. Sean's got a new record coming out now on one of our favorite labels at the moment: Luna Flicks. Luna Flicks is run by Strangefruit from Mungolian Jet Set and Kango from Fjordfunk & Kango's Stein Massiv. Look out next week because we've got a mix from Kango on the show!
Listen in tonight. Weatherall and Sean planned out their mixes to go together tonight, so it will be a nice flow for the 2.5 hours!
Okay, I'm jumping on the Twitter train for the radio show. You can follow here: BISradio
Lovefingers, Marcos Cabral (Runaway, Trapez), Andrew Weatherall, Hardway Bros, Fjordfunk aka Kango's Stein Massiv, Tony Watson, Linger & Quiet, Black Meteoric Star (Live!), and a bunch more!
We've got Traxx from Chicago coming by the studio tonight. He's released on labels such as Crème Organization, Crème-Jak, Gigolo, Muzique, Relief, M/O/S, and under different monikers such as XXART, SATURN V, X2, THE GREEN GOBLIN, DIRTY CRIMINALS and some more. He's also collaborated with James T. Cotton, DJ Hell, Green Velvet, D`marc Cantu, Mount Sims, and Legowelt. Should be fun.
also, found this nice mp3 site today that I'm sure people who listen to the show would be interested in: donnaslut

With Lux Interior passing away just recently, I have to share these links... Nine CD's worth of Lux Interior and Poison Ivy's favorite songs:
Volumes 1-6
Volumes 7-9
(thanks to Voodoo Village)
I'm just starting to get through it, but some really amazing music.
Okay, we're finally up and running with the new website. It's been years since there's been any change to the site (originally designed by XXXChange), so I thought it would be nice to have an update since we'll be coming up on 10 years old soon! There could be a few problems at the beginning, but give us a little time and it'll all be smoothed out. If you're finding any problems, please let me (tim@beatsinspace.net) know. Big, big thanks to Kevin O'Neill from RVNG and Will Work for Good for designing the new site!

New T&T 12" on Phonica Records. Really excited to finally have this out! Available through Phonica and Rvng Intl..
