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…

Some things happened with this episode that I hesitate even to mention… possibly why it took so long to get an episode that aired on February 5th into the archives! But first the actual substance of the episode… In substance, this is a slowed down 140 BPM ep, which means, as one would expect, plenty…

Eh! Oh! It’s another 160 BPM episode! As usual, that means some footwork, some neo-jungle, some straight DnB, and a little bit of dance rock (in this case, the bread on this drum’n’werk sammitch). What else is there to say? It slams, and the coda brings the funky motorik goodness. Is it just needlessly repetitive…

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…

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…

An episode of drum’n’bass, with one or two signature SttM random left turns thrown in. Roni Size Reprazent – Share The Fall (Full Vocal Mix) feat. Onallee [New Forms] Fanu – Black Label [Black Label EP] Torana – Rescind [Acrid EP] Gremlinz & Homemade Weapons – Ruff Age VIP [Fallen EP] Nucleus & Paradox –…

Despite this episode‘s melancholy title, it’s largely joyous when it isn’t being weird. Things start out upbeat with a characteristically poppy offering from Kitsune, then moves on to the swirling, chugging Quantic number that gives the episode its title. Even the song itself tempers its downbeat lyrics with the lush setting of “Atlantic Oscillations.” This…

Another ~120 BPM episode. This one distinguishes itself with the inclusion of more rock than the average SttM, and announces the fact right out of the gate with the latest Redd Kross single. From there it quickly pivots to some nu-disco courtesy of Breakbot and Holy Ghost! From there, we get all kindsa genre agnostic–…
