The first episode of the new decade spends 85 minutes looking back. Some of these songs I’ve played on previous episodes, and some of them are songs that I haven’t, but mainly because they don’t fit the format especially well… which is to say that this is an unusually rock-heavy episode. Altin Gün and Hatchie…

I did manage a second new episode in October! It was a busy month, filling in on station duties for (happily vacationing) absent NOPE comrades, and there were a few things I had to let slide… One six two begins with a tune off the recent Ladytron release, before retreating back a few years to…

From there it quickly pivots to some nu-disco courtesy of Breakbot and Holy Ghost! From there, we get all kindsa genre agnostic–…

This episode begins with a spate of SttM’s fabled “random left turns,” from indie rock to house to club to grime to Latinx trap and back around again. The second half settles into a more predictable groove, full of d****** and instrumental grime, with just one quick (very melodic) Hard Drum detour around the thirty…

This episode starts things off with a protean track from Morwell, which spins through various permutations of jungle breaks. From there, we’re once again in drum’n’werk territory, sliding around between footwork and 160 BPM drum’n’bass, finding all the gradients of cross-influence in between. Heavily represented are Fracture, who appears with a track off his recent…

Tomorrow night, Wednesday night, July 31st, tune in to Radio NOPE at 11E/8P for another new episode of SttM, this one featuring more 160 madness. I’ve heard it said that Footwork is music for dancing, and dancing of a specific type, and so if you don’t dance Footwork, you can’t truly understand Footwork music. The…
