Episode 137: Neon Rave

If I had to fir a theme for this episode, it would have to be an anachronistic blend of rave sonics with contemporary club rhythms. Conveniently enough, the first track, a hard-banging techno number from Dan HabarNam, captures both elements– rave-y sirens coexisting with Jersey Club-esque kick patterns. Overland provides some acid, VILLAGE explores more vintage…

Episode 136: Laced With Acid

This episode is just a party. Nothing pretentious, no throwing in chin-scratching tracks for their own sake… sure, things do their usual weirdness around the half-hour mark, but even then it’s brief and mild and quickly returns to straight-ahead grooves. The original idea, as suggested by the title, was to play a whole ton of acid tracks.…

This Week: Low pH House and Club

Thanksgiving Eve! That’s tomorrow night. And it is one of the busiest nights (so I am told) at bars, as people visiting their home towns go out and get drunk and have random hookups with people they haven’t seen since high school. Or, as my serious hard-drinking friends call such events: amateur night. Don’t mess…
