“if you call that music…” Yeah, so I’m over a month late getting this episode posted up here. I’m kinda running out of things to say, I feel like? This episode is 140 BPM. It has some grime, it has some d******, it has some faster-paced future club, as would be expected for such a…

A Step to the Music episode that… well, it’s another 160 BPM episode. It starts with 90’s D’n’B and ends with 90’s D’n’B. In between it’s a mix of Footwork and Autonomic, a tour of the zone where juke and jungle collide and swap flava like a jambolaya. Once again, this mix hits HARD! Roni…

This episode pokes around the Hard Drum area of hybrid club music. Things start off with Ballroom House auteur LSDXOXO’s remix of Missy Elliott, and from there launches into a spree of African-inspired rhythms. Things wrap up with Jersey Club auteur DJ Jayhood, before winding down with some French trap. The mix is fast-paced and…

This latest episode starts with a wash of gentle surf and ends with a wash of applause. In between it goes all over the place, taking some odd routes. The idea I went into it with was taking episode 143’s description of “Jungle vs Footwork” and making it a bit more of a fair fight.…

Similar to last week’s episode in a way, this one slows down the tempo to ~140 BPM and looks at what footwork and DnB producers do at a slower tempo. Some of it is slowed down footwork or jungle, some of it is Drum’n’Bass producers aping Dubstep. There’s also some techno — mnml courtesy of…

Another footwork episode, this one with some footwork-tempo Drun’n’Bass in the mix. I initially called this one Footwork vs Jungle, but if so the footwork quickly overpowered and assimilated the competition. Om Unit and Philip D Kick and Dawn Day Night and Malou are not just hopelessly outnumbered, they all contribute heavily Chicago-influenced tracks. Sinistarr’s…

Episode 144 of SttM will premiere this coming Wednesday, February 13, at 11E/8P on RadioNOPE. It features a diverse collection of beats, from slow Footwork to fast techno, from Drum’n’Bass breaks to half-step dub, from dance-rock guitar jangle to avant-club jackhammer kicks, all at 140 BPM. It’s also pretty bass-heavy, so start warming up your…

The weather outside was polar, but the beats are hot and banging! If episode 142 has any themes, they’re 303 acid and filter sweeps. Though really, it’s just a party. Things get darker and weirder around the middle, as per usual, but overall it’s a succession of jams and bops… pretty happy with most of…

Last week’s episode was a tribute to the genius of Luke Vibert: two hours of funky beats and left-field samples. Not much else to say, honestly. It’s two hours long, which seems to be a thing for 2019 (cutting #142 down to 60 minutes is proving quite a chore, one from which I’m currently taking…

Apparently instead of doing an hourlong show a week I’m now doing a two-hour show every second week. That’s my new thing for 2019, or at least Januaty. Sp you can tune in tomorrow, Wednesday January 23 for my latest missile into the unknown, a 120 minute special featuring the music of Luke Vibert, AKA…
