Bottin 12" ready to order!

hello. the 12" should be available in the IDIB store
by 7pm EST Tuesday! (see right column for link)
Also we have 2 copies of the JD Twitch 10"/cd
left so if you need that i suggest you grab it soon!

We also restocked the Nite Jewel lp due to
overwhelming demand.

WELCOME BOTTIN TO THE FAMILY

hello again. this deserved a separate post. In a few days
we will have the latest IDIB 12" in the form of Bottin "No
Static". Bottin is from Venice Italy and has been flying under
the radar for a while. Our aim is to bring him into the
limelight where he belongs. He is not only a stellar producer,
but an excellent dj with an even more excellent record collection.
To prove this we offer you a mix by Bottin as well- that you can
download below. People always say ITALO this and ITALO that.
Well, here's some italo from you by a fellow Italian living in Italy.
We will make an announcement when we have these in stock for
mailorder. As always , strictly limited edition.

DUELING MIKE's BIRTHDAY PARTY

Come celebrate their exit from the womb and the arrival
into your hearts.
As is the tradition , Mike Simonetti and Michael T (you
may know him from Motherfucker perhaps?) will be
celebrating their birthdays together.

Saturday Jan 31, 2009 at Savalas in Williamsburg.
free entry. the party starts when you get there.
Mike will also be djing. Zeppole encouraged.

current little man faves

everyone wants to know what the little guy is
jamming to in these cold winter days... he gets
especially excited when you sing Paul McCartney
to him...
coming soon: Carole King "Little Guy edit" 12" ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009- a new mix from Benguin

Hope your 2009 is going smoothly as planned.
here is a new mix from Ben Manzone- one of
NYC's best kept secrets. In my opinion this mix
is in contention for mix of the year already. Plus
it has one of my all time favorite songs. Pay
attention to the first track. Serious business and
Sunday slow jams...

MASTERFLEET MIX

Holy Shit...

my back still hurts from the 7 hour dj marathon on New
Years Eve at Rubulad. Paul Oakenfold would be proud...

btw: the new years eve song this year was Diana Ross "I'm
Coming Out". (extended white label 12" version LOL)
