Lone Star
Ken Hidaka
Guy
Max Essa
Gordy
Dr Rob

Five friends meeting in Tokyo.
All with twenty years or more experience.
On one scene or another.
All bringing something different to the musical table.

Lone Star? A Lone Star state of mind?
Maybe in this case the lone star is a purpose, a focus.

DJ Gordy bio:

1991. Pirate radio & the free-party scene in Glasgow. JD Twitch dressed as a cat, spinning in a living room in Hyndland. Easy Street. The Centre for Contemporary Art.

2001. A move to Tokyo. Mental Position at Ovo. Bar Jam and Celebrate Life. Discodomo. Apollo 69. Seco. Air. Loop. Supporting scene-founders, such as Terry Farley & Alfredo whenever they`re in town.

2011. Lone Star. Five friends. All with first-hand experience of the original Acid House. All taking different paths to Tokyo. All bringing something of that late 80s energy and enthusiasm. Past, Present and Phuture. This ain`t no retro night.

March 10 2012, the eve of the first anniversary of the Tohoku earthquake. In remembrance of the in excess of 22, 000 people who lost their lives and the tens of thousands more who lost their families, homes and livelihood, I`ve put together three selections of music made by Japanese artists – the first - Classic Japanese fusion and disco - old and new - I`m posting here on the Lone Star page, tomorrow this will be followed by selections on the RightRightRight page on Samurai.FM, and at www.testpressing.org - Tonight`s show on FM.Karuizawa http://fm-karuizawa.net/remedy.html will be devoted to Japanese Balearic classics, and the The Remedy will focus on Japanese artists and DJs for the rest of March.

DR ROB / HOUSE HITS OF 2011 / MARCH 2012

  • House
  • 1h 19m
Bit late, but I was waiting on a copy of the Factory Floor 12 (thanks Ed!) - some of the House I picked up (and kept) in 2011 - predictably a lot of it sounds like it was made no later than 1989

Paul from Test Pressing has repeatedly told me that I should leave House mixes to the experts. He is right of course, but here is a “blend” of House-tempo promos we`ve be lucky enough to receive. Most of these are recent, some still unreleased. I figured the “blend” was “party” enough for Lone Star so here it is. Big “Thank You”s to Phil South, Max Essa, Sean Johnston, Andy Blake, Dean Meredith, and Gerd Janson. Labels Running Back, Golf Channel, Valley Sound, Is It Balearic?, In Plain Sight, Jansen Jardin and Rogue Cat Sound. “Snooze 4 Love Version” sounds particularly fine today, 26/01/2012, in Karuizawa, with the sun reflecting off fresh snow.

Dr Rob: Lone Star August 2011

This is my set from the Lone Star party in August of this year. It was the night of the Meiji Jingu fireworks and it was a truely special night. The streets of Tokyo were full of people, and it felt like a real celebration, a show of strength and unity after the (on-going) events of March 11. As a Westerner, it felt like a great privilege to be witnessing this, out on the street watching the fireworks light up the night sky, eating water melon and drinking rum punch. The party started early that night, around 8 pm. This is me around 10 til 12ish. Please bear in mind that I am the warm up.
