Beats and Grooves and Random Left Turns

Episode 127: Cosmic Bounce

So, this episode combines various interests I’ve been exploring recently. It mixes and matches various strains of techno, from funky floor creations (JETS, Bicep) to ambient-ish home listening tunes (Chloé) to driving polyrhythmic explorations (Helena Hauff).

This one starts out sounding like a dork-rock dance party, the usual SttM suspects of danceable indie, but mixed in with hip hop bangers here and there. Things gradually shift to more of a club feel,  plus some rhythmically…
