RV Network Winners – Congrats Morgan May and DJ Afterlight!

One of the most exciting features of the RV 2.0 website is our recurring network competition. In just over a month, hundreds of tracks and mixes have been uploaded to our network, and the RV community has been reviewing and rating them. Our policy is to give rewards out every few weeks to the DJ and producer who upload the most popular mix and track. The first decision date was May 1st (last Friday), and we’re ready now to declare the first network competition winners…
.
Our winning DJ is Morgan May for his mix @ Twisted Modelf*cker 06 April 2009, which has racked up nearly 70 thumbs up ratings. The mix has a lot of energy, and it weaves its way through a sequence of trance and progressive tracks, maintaining a peak hour dance floor feel. I’ll be writing more about Morgan and his mix over the next few days.
.
Now, turning to our network tracks, I want to announce that DJ Afterlight is our winning producer for his track titled, “Get in to It.” This track has gotten 24 thumbs up ratings, and it has a broken beat with hints of hardcore. It’s also stirred up a string of positive comments. You’ll definitely be seeing and hearing more about “Get in to It” in the near future.
.
Now that we’ve announced them as winners, I want to say “CONGRATULATIONS” to Morgan May and DJ Afterlight on behalf of the RV team!
.
In addition to congratulating our first network competition winners here, I want to write a bit about the significance of the competition in our eyes… (more…)

Brendon Moeller – RA Podcast 079

Brendon Moeller - RA PodcastAll right, here’s a little treat…Brendon’s Moeller’s Resident Advisor podcast. Sam introduced this mix to me on a recent road trip we took. I’m definitely feelin’ it.

For a while, I was listening to most of the RA podcasts, but then I started slacking off a bit. This one has definitely rekindled my interest.

For those interested, I’ve copied the excerpt about Brendon below:

"Brendon Moeller grew up in Johannesburg, where he played in bands, wrote for music magazines and even taught school before upping sticks and heading to New York to pursue music in 1993. Rumour has it he didn’t know a thing about electronic music before he hit America, but you wouldn’t know that from his productions. Moeller has spent the last ten years building up a quietly impressive catalogue of releases, including albums as Beat Pharmacy on Francois K’s Deep Space Media imprint and releases as Echologist for Mule Musiq. More recently he’s put out rated dub techno 12”s under his own name for Echocord and Third Ear – this year his ’Jazz Space EP’ was especially rated for its unusually high quality. Different names, different labels, but all of Moeller’s releases are wide-open affairs, synthesizing dub, minimal techno, jazz and African influences into deep, organic dance music with a careful attention to detail.

The Francois K connection is also key. Moeller does A&R for Mr. Kervorkian’s labels as well as DJs regularly at his Monday night Deep Space parties in New York. As a DJ, Moeller’s eclectic take on dance music shines through – he’s just as like to mix together reggae, dub techno or even comedy records as up to the minute house and techno. For his RA podcast, Moeller leans heavily towards the latter, offering up a mix that travels from dub to rave with its feet on the floor. A proper Monday night in."
