Daniel Berman, aka Hot Coins (aka Red Rack’em) is an infuriatingly talented Scotsman living in Berlin. This blinder is from his upcoming album ‘The Damage Is Done’ (more about that later) which is out at the end of January on Sonar Kollektiv. I absolutely love it. Check out my Basement Sessions interview with Herr Berman [...]

vimeo Direkt It was only a matter of time before I dragged longtime Heads Down compadre and (rapidly) rising star Red Rack em down to the shady confines of the AllSaints Basement Sessions . Red Rack’em (real name Daniel Berman) has been tearing it up all over the globe of late; in the last week [...]

I recently talked to Heads Down favourite and all round compadre-in-arms Red Rack’em (aka Daniel Berman) about his debut album ‘The Early Years’, on his very own imprint Bergerac. Danny’s been going from strength to strength in the last year with heavy releases on my own Untracked imprint and some other lesser-known labels I can’t [...]

As some of you may know, I’m one of the two guys behind the Untracked Recordings label, the erstwhile home to Frank Booker, Red Rack’em and my outfit Atlantic Conveyor (amongst others). Well, due to the success of this blog, it’s podcasts and it’s interviews, I’ve decided to go it alone and start my own [...]

It’s not often I post gigs (I think I’ve posted three in total), but every now and then something comes up which has to be ANNOUNCED LOUDLY. Last year Red Rack’em (aka Hot Coins aka Daniel Berman) invited me to tropical Nottingham to play one of his notorious invite-only Smuggler’s Inn parties. Now, Danny’s not [...]

Red Rack em (or Hot Coins in this instance- check the interview) is slowly but surely becoming the master of the subaquatic bass groove. His records ‘Underground‘ on Shift, ‘In Love Again‘ on Untracked and now this absolute 4am thermonuclear destroyer ‘Voices’ are absolute proof of this. Production so raw and murky that you think [...]

Last weekend I nervously travelled to Nottingham to DJ at a secret party thrown by Red Rack’em, he of the Smuggler’s Inn Radio Show and eclectic releases on Untracked, Tirk and Deep Freeze. The party started at 2am and finished at 7am; the well-up-for-it partygoers consisted of the kind of freaks that DJ’s dream of [...]
