Episode 188: It Ain’t No Use

I Wish That I Could Wish You Well

Looking back, episode 182 featured Drum’n’Bass, began with a song by The Beths and ended with a song by Bestiärio. This episode, in a striking contrast, features Drum’n’Bass while it ENDS with a song by The Beths and BEGINS with a song by Bestiärio. Totally different, as you can see. I’m not just repeating myself on autopilot or anything AT ALL.

It’s not like both episodes also feature tunes from Tokyo Prose, Sun People, Sam KDC, ÆTERNA. and Subp Yao or anything. Keeping it completely fresh and new, not just recycling the same artists every dang month and hoping nobody notices!

BECAUSE episode 182 featured a Grey Area breakdown in its middle third and an excursion into hip hop for a bit of Run The Jewels. This episode starts bright and gets deep and gets dark and somehow keeps finding ways to get deeper and darker until it takes a random club turn into a Neurofunk climax and then to some oldschool Jungle pressure. It’s a completely different animal, when you actually look at it carefully.
