Episode 180: Speed of Sound

This episode starts out moody, with Austra’s downright heartbreaking rumination on romantic doom, “Anywayz,” and gradually picks up. The tempo follows suit, gradually increasing over the course of the mix from a sedate sub-disco 117 BPM to a breakneck 130 by the end. Approaching the midpoint, we have ourselves a downright rave-up, before things turn a bit weird with contributions from Liquid Soap and Matias Aguayo. You know what comes next: the glorious climax! Nu-disco courtesy of Holy Ghost!, retro synth pop in the form of Gemini Rising’s ecstatic “Speed of Sound,” some froggy madness from Justice, and finally a nice warmdown from warner case.
