Episode 166: Back With A Banger

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…

Episode 164: Some MORE Good Shit From 2019

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…

In between it visits some hip hop (in ironic celebration of my newfound Insulin resistance), some French disco, some Latinx club, some Hard Drum, some techno-produced hip hop, some deconstructed club, some club remixes of various provenance (R&B, Russian…

Episode 131: LIVE! (3RD ANNIVERSARY)

Hooooooooray! Three years! this episode begins with an extended intro, intended to give me time to make sure I was actually broadcasting. It goes on possibly (definitely) too long, before launching into Turkish Delight’s “Around,” a song which I thought was more metronomic than it actually is, hence the clumsy transition into the Neil Landstrumm track…
