Beats and Grooves and Random Left Turns

Episode 179: From the Outside

Following the previous angry one, this episode is relatively sedate and apolitical, featuring some jazzy electro sounds, some grime, and quite a bit of d******. There’s a touch of angry hip hop in there, because the police have not yet been defunded, and things do get pretty dang heavy just from a sonic standpoint here…

Episode 178: Tout Le Monde Déteste La Police

And here we have the George Floyd/BLM/Fuck 12 episode. It features various types of protest music, spoken word, looped protest chants… It goes ten minutes long. Deal with it Jeremy Frisch – Suck My Dick And Choke On It (Hilarity Ensues Remix) The Coup – Pork And Beef [Party Music] Wyatt Waddell – FIGHT! B.K.N.Y.…

Episode 177: Back to Werk

This episode begins with another chance to show off a new station ID, a charming little morsel from the singer of Swedish neo-goth outfit Then Comes Silence. This is, unsurprisingly, followed by one of their tunes… the best on their new album, if you ask me. Things end with a tune from another neo-goth band…

Episode 176: Turntable Exiles

Now this is an episode that leans pretty heavily on underground club and Hard Drum sounds. It veers over to techno sounds and hip hop beats, and even to rock, jazz and motorik, but mostly it’s club and club-adjacent. Not sure what else to say, honestly. This one cooks, but at a simmer, with stomping…

Episode 175: Shoulder of Orion

After an episode of bad vibes and an episode of good vibrations, this episode forgoes any commentary on The Troubles and just focuses on the drum and the bass. Several Bandcamp Day purchases from Samurai and Methlab form the backbone, which supports everything from Autonomic brooders to Finnish bangers to Brazilian rockers, before ending up…

Episode 174: New Familiar

After the previous week’s episode, which delved into the mania and anxiety of shelter in place quarantine, this one provides an escape, an hour of relief in a sonic bubble bath. Now, I have to admit that I am still me and this is still SttM, and so things inevitably get a bit weird, vibes…

Episode 173: The World Is A Very Scary Place

This here episode, in its formative stages, kept flip flopping between being dark songs to plumb the depths of self-quarantine and being light happy songs to take one’s mind off (what seemed at the time) such a terrible situation (were we ever so innocent?!) while refusing to settle on either. It finally came together when…

Episode 172: He Works For The Revenue

Time again for a 140BPM episode! These tend to lean heavily on older music, since d****** started really turning to shit around 2010. But that leaves more than five years of viable dance tunes! The newer stuff here is grime and faster club/house tunes, as well as random bits of rock, hip hop, and electronic…

Episode 171: A Paradise For Assholes

A Few Days Since I Left The House This particular episode aired on April Fool’s Day, but there’s not much joking going on. We were all still getting used to shelter in place, it still had some novelty, but certain elements were taking a simple request not to put their fellow citizens at risk of…

Episode 170: Proximity

This episode, named after the thing we recently had to start avoiding, centers around club mutations, with some tipping over in various directions toward neighboring genres: Hard Drum, Italo Disco, Jersey Club, Techno, mnml, House, rave, spacerock, and etc. Bookending the mix are two underground divas: Kim Gordon off her most recent release with a…
