Nu Grooves in Brooklyn

In this week's Village Voice, I wrote a profile on the uptick in dance music labels in New York City. Shouts went out to Blackdisco, Wurst, Deconstruct Music, and others, but I focused on three growing in Brooklyn: W.T. Records, Long Island Electrical Systems, and Golf Channel. All are worth investigating, and each release varies greatly from one to the next.

I wrote a feature for Resident Advisor about one of New York's most idiosyncratic dance music labels of the moment, Golf Channel. They released that monstrous Mark E edit of Janet Jackson a few years back and have continue to deliver the goods since then. Like this track. But the piece also doubles as a history of New York's sweetest, seediest dance party of the past decade, No Ordinary Monkey.
