Good Talk with K-HAND

Don’t think of K-HAND as just another Detroit-based producer, or DJ. Think of her instead as one of the city’s best, as bold as that thought may seem. She has devoted more than two decades to working crowds into techno dance frenzy, reading crowds and seducing them, one track after another, until she has it at her mercy.

K-HAND stands alongside Detroit’s elite as an internationally recognized veteran of the legendary Detroit Techno scene. Her latest releases are some of hottest music coming out of Detroit on Acacia Recordings and Nina Kraviz’s Label ???? (English: Trip). Continue reading →

Good Talk with A Guy Called Gerald + Podcast

The Manchester scene in the late 80s radiated from the Hacienda. It was a place which grew to be a breeding ground for the likes of Laurent Garnier and Chemical Brothers and in the Summer of Love the Hacienda had a theme tune called Voodoo Ray. It was A Guy Called Gerald’s first release in 1988 and became a seminal classic that put British house music firmly on the map. Continue reading →

Good Talk with DJ Aakmael + Podcast

DJ Aakmael is all about preserving that deep, underground sound. Since he started making noise in 2004 he has some of the deepest and rawest house tracks of today’s Deep House scene, back before Deep House was a thing.

From his first record, ‘Unexposed Evolutionz EP’ on Bumpin’ City Records, to his projects on labels like Unified Records, Uzuri, Real Tone/Earthrumental, and his own imprint Unxpozd Entertainment, His mixes contain the perfect blend of smooth vocal tracks as well as hard hitting deep house instrumentals – which is just what we like at Good Room.

Good Talk with DJ Sprinkles

DJ Sprinkles is something of a true renegade in modern club culture. She tackles themes that are usually off limits in electronic music, eschewing conventional notions of ‘having the night of your life’ and instead confronting issues of gender, sexuality, race and class, often in lipstick and four-inch heels.

Nineteen albums and multifarious monikers into her 20-year career, she’s constructed a political discourse that’s hard to find anywhere else in dance music today. We’re bringing her rare spirit back to Good Room on September 17 at the French Kiss presents party. We caught up with the Comatonse label head ahead of her set, sharing her love and ideas on music.

Label Launch – Samo Records

A new label out of New York is exploring the darker, moodier side of electronic music.Just-launched Samo Records will take you anywhere from electro to EBM to cold-wave territory and all points in between.

Founder Boris Knezevic (who DJs under the Facets moniker) wants to showcase the wealth of talent coming out of NYC, showcasing the best local up-and-coming and established artists on every release. Wanting to bring something different to the table, one of his key ideal behind the label is to connect people who wouldn’t normally be on the same release to create something new as a result of two worlds colliding.
