This episode takes some time in establishing itself. Things start off with a bittersweet kissoff from Sudan Archives before transitioning into some Euro Footwork… and then moves on to some classic Jungle presha… before moving on to a club/techno mutation from Martyn’s mentee stable. That about sets out the colors for this mix, and it…

(ODYODYODY) This episode starts… I’m not gonna lie to you, the beginning of this episode is a bit challenging. Possibly even described as a “harsh toke.” 3XPERIENCE is not interested in making friends, and segueing from there into the aggressive pop-industrial of The Mall continues in a prickly vein. Some UK Garage and slow juke…

This was the first episode after a random glitch took out my Traktor playlists. So rather than starting with a list of all tunes I’d previously selected to fit the tempo and vibe, excluding any I’d used in previous episodes, instead I started with… nothing. The way that it shows up in this episode is…

2021 Part II So here is the second episode of my look back at 2021. Quite a bit of “second verse, same as the first” to my look back at 2020, honestly. Lockdown hasn’t altered my pallet much at all. If anything, this episode features fewer curveballs and hews more to genre: disco/house -> techno…

2021 Part I It has become something of a tradition, or maybe just a habit, for me to do two episodes looking back at the previous year in January. The first episode is traditionally/habitually a collection of the rock and/or roll songs that I’ve enjoyed over the year but (usually) didn’t play because they didn’t…

Here’s a fun one. I initially recorded thie episode at the end of October, and it kept getting pushed back for one reason or another. So, here is the first episode of 2022, looking forward by looking back. Stuck – Playpen of Dissent [Content That Makes You Feel Good] Future Image – March Madness (blastah…

This is an episode from almost four years ago that, for some strange reason, never got published on this here ‘blog. It goes all over the place, but the main thrust is that it begins with ~140 BPM club bangers, moves to dubstep and grime, then shifts back to underground club. As a side note,…

A few years ago I decided that the final SttM episode of every year should be deep/dub techno. You could search back through the archives for the explanation, but it’s basically that the week between Christmas and New Year’s is always an odd, timeless/spaceless space in time, and the underwater sonics of deep techno mirrors…

’twas the Wednesday before Christmas… Every few years I put together a new Yule episode for the Winter solstice-adjacent holidays, the celebration of the return of light to the world as the days stop getting shorter and start getting longer. Remember: the tilt in the Earth’s axis is the reason for the season! Recent holiday…

Aside from a bit of slow footwork, a bit of fast house, and a post-shoegaze curveball, the bulk of this episode features (the dreaded) dubstep and instrumental grime. Then the mix ends out with some clubland bangers STRAIGHT out of left field, because this IS SttM, and I get itchy if I stick to one…
