This is ostensibly a drum’n’bass episode, and for the central chunk of its running length it behaves accordingly. HOWEVER, the path it takes to get there meanders for a bit through rockstep, hip hop, and some dance-y post-hardcore. The other end of the mix walks back down a similar path, through sped-up footwork and motorik…

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…

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–…

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 ran a little long. Seven minutes or so. The main idea was to do a Plaid sandwich, with the album version of “Maru” at the beginning and the excellent Orbital remix of the same at the end. So when the (also excellent) penultimate track, “Inside of Me,” went over time, I plowed forward.…
