Deep Dish bet on Montreal local Sultan for their latest mix on Yoshitoshi. 'Yoshitoshi Montreal' arrives in stores in September.
Sultan, aka Ossama Al Sarraf, was initially inspired by Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi label in the late nineties. "Every DJ has labels they know they can blindly pick up a record from and know for sure it will be a hot release," says Sultan. "Yoshitoshi has always been that label for me.

BT (Brian Transeau) recently had US$150,000 in gear stolen from his studio, including his primary show computer with the entire This Binary Universe show on it and rigs for two other live shows and recording.

The documentary is about 23 minutes, but because youtube's restriction of 10 minutes, here's the first 9 minutes of this documentary. It's done quite well, with samples of Ladytron's music (mostly from their third album, Witching Hour) throughout the feature.
