This episode takes some time in establishing itself. Things start off with a bittersweet kissoff from Sudan Archives before transitioning into some Euro Footwork… and then moves on to some classic Jungle presha… before moving on to a club/techno mutation from Martyn’s mentee stable. That about sets out the colors for this mix, and it…

(ODYODYODY) This episode starts… I’m not gonna lie to you, the beginning of this episode is a bit challenging. Possibly even described as a “harsh toke.” 3XPERIENCE is not interested in making friends, and segueing from there into the aggressive pop-industrial of The Mall continues in a prickly vein. Some UK Garage and slow juke…

This was the first episode after a random glitch took out my Traktor playlists. So rather than starting with a list of all tunes I’d previously selected to fit the tempo and vibe, excluding any I’d used in previous episodes, instead I started with… nothing. The way that it shows up in this episode is…

2021 Part II So here is the second episode of my look back at 2021. Quite a bit of “second verse, same as the first” to my look back at 2020, honestly. Lockdown hasn’t altered my pallet much at all. If anything, this episode features fewer curveballs and hews more to genre: disco/house -> techno…

Aside from a bit of slow footwork, a bit of fast house, and a post-shoegaze curveball, the bulk of this episode features (the dreaded) dubstep and instrumental grime. Then the mix ends out with some clubland bangers STRAIGHT out of left field, because this IS SttM, and I get itchy if I stick to one…

Almost a year later I’m still at a loss trying to explain this episode. I set out to make something challenging and avant garde, and may have succeeded too well. I like it, personally, but I can understand why it’s one of my less popular episodes. Starting things off with Ziúr featuring the vocal stylings…

Dubstep Originators This episode begins with a clubby confection from Shygirl, and includes a shoegazey interlude from Brit-Pop supergroup Piroshka, but the bulk of the mix is oldschool Dubstep. Classic Dubstep. Dubstep even from artists who defined the genre, who were making it before it even had a name. Oh, and some more club (Yazzus,…

This episode starts out with an industrial/coldwave feel of dread and aggression, which hangs over most of the rest of the mix, though to varying degrees, until Daniel Avery breaks the spell. ending things on a peaceful note. In between we have appearances from show favorites, fast house, techno, noisy club jams and edits… it’s…
