As this post is going up Sunday, technically it’s the picks from last week. I took on some new duties at RV in a week that happened to coincide with my birthday, and I’m lucky enough to have friends who had me out celebrating Wednesday through Saturday. 
Needless to say, I had my hands full. Better late than never, right?
.
1. Disconnected (Sascha Funke Mix) – Haito Göpfrich – Boxer Recordings. Both John and I were disappointed to find that Sascha Funke is not related to actor, analrapist, published author, and friend of Carl Weathers; Tobias Funke. None the less, it’s a good track.
.
2. The Third Dream (Original Mix) – Zhe – DP-6 Records. I can’t say enough about this release. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard an album of this size retain quality throughout. Lots of tracks, lots of variety, lots of goodness.
.
3. El Fuego (Berger Remix) – Benno Block & Derhardt – 040-Recordings. 040-Recordings seems to be popping up on my list frequently. I can’t help it. I like it.
.
4. Dockyard (Original Mix) – Piemont – My Best Friend / MBF. This is going to be a big release from MBF. Shipyard is a great track as well.
.
5. Cocktail Tokio (Original Mix) – Kresy And Handrus – Galvanic. Cocktail Tokio could be my favorite track of the week. If I didn’t work for an electronic music outfit, I would undoubtedly get strange looks from my coworkers for the things that happen at my desk when this one is coming through the cans.
.
6. Disjointed (Original Mix) – Askani – Harkee Records. When I saw the cover for Revenge of the Lizards, I knew I was going to like it.
.
7. Liberation (Estroe Remix) – Alemo – EevoNext. Liberation immediately reminded me of a track from a Patrice Baumel mix, which counts for a lot in my book.
.
8. Ten Thousand Bridges (Original Mix) – Darius Syrossian – Breakout Audio. This is the first release we have received from Breakout Audio. I’m glad we did.
.
9. Conga Loca (Original Mix) – Francesco Gemelli – Globox. Typically, Latin-flavored electronic music is not my cup of tea. I think that the real deal has such organic rhythm that it usually doesn’t translate well to something with programmed quantized beats. Conga Loca has hints, but just enough to sound good (to me) without making me wish I was listening to the Buena Vista Social Club, which is what usually happens.
.
10. Bolka (Original) – Prescott, Paul Mad – Fairlads Digital Records. Another solid release and a good way to wrap things up. Until next time…. (hopefully on Friday instead of Sunday)

It’s that time of year again. The long summer days are officially behind us, and as we make an almost ceremonial descent into the winter months there’s time for one last summer fling. What’s more it’s a free fling full of “Love” and it’s set in the heart of San Francisco. It’s a fling where music, sun, good people and good times can all get it on one last time.

Blog search results: A close friend of RV pointed out that, while our search results are great for finding music in our store and network, they don’t really help much with finding matching results in our blog. While we have not yet integrated blog content into our search engine, we’ve included a convenient link at the top of the search results page that will take you to a blog search results page. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction and will allow make searching the entire RV universe a bit easier.
