Here’s another 160 BPM episode! As is usual with 160 eps, it features a lot of footwork and jungle and footwork/jungle hybrids. It also includes some underground club and pop-techno. Notably, I accidentally included two jungle tracks from the same producer (Pulse), and for some reason the BPM reverted from 164 back to 160(?!) and…

Holy crow! This episode marks FIVE FULL FRIGGIN’ YEARS of me doing this show! I wasn’t quite sure what to do… in the past special episodes have generally been extra long. One anniversary episode was the first I recorded using Traktor instead of put together in Ableton (which is now my usual method). Another anniversary…

Another ~130 BPM episode unfolds with another mix of dance rock, house, techno, and club music. This one, I suppose, distinguishes itself by an even higher than usual genre agnosticism, incorporating hip hop and Damaged Bug’s trash rock, as well as SWAN MEAT’s avant gardism, wandering almost directionlessly through the various genres on its pallet.…

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…

This episode, dating back to those innocent, halcyon days of early March, starts with some dreampop, before pivoting to dance pop for a bit, before pivoting again to hip hop. The middle third takes various detours through club, techno, and downtempo, before returning to hip hop for a bit, then concluding with a profane club…

This episode features dance rock, disco, dance pop, some quick Latinx club, a Jersey Club remix, some left-field techno out of Bristol, UK, a bit of straight functional techno, and quite a bit of lo-fi house. As per ususl (do I even need to say it any more?) things get a bit weirrrd at around…

Another extra-length episode looking back at a year that was a year, exactly what it says on the tin. This one focuses on a lower BPM range, starting at 105 and building to 135 by its end. So at the start there is hip hop, nu disco and dancehall/dembow-inspired club. The second chunk features some…

“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…

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.…

This episode starts off with several tunes that fall more on the “song” end of the song/track spectrum. First off, Montreal’s Ouri splits the difference between techno and pop. Then Santa Muerte provides an edit of mumblestar Lil Uzi Vert, coming from the most recent Bootlegs and Edits compilation (which comp is, without a doubt, the MVP…
