Tune in tomorrow night, Wednesday the 17th, at 11 Eastern/8 Pacific for a brand new episode! This one is drum’n’bass, mostly of the Autonomic variety, plus a rather random curveball to keep everyone on their respective tarsals. Yup, this boy has secured himself another compilation! A new one from Samurai Records, celebrating a decade of…

There was a time not too long ago when almost every episode was footwork and jungle and the area where the two genres have been bleeding into each other of late. Drum’n’Werk, 160 BPM. I had to force myself to do anything else. This episode, after a short break, returns to that territory. No fewer…

A Step to the Music episode that… well, it’s another 160 BPM episode. It starts with 90’s D’n’B and ends with 90’s D’n’B. In between it’s a mix of Footwork and Autonomic, a tour of the zone where juke and jungle collide and swap flava like a jambolaya. Once again, this mix hits HARD! Roni…

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.…

Similar to last week’s episode in a way, this one slows down the tempo to ~140 BPM and looks at what footwork and DnB producers do at a slower tempo. Some of it is slowed down footwork or jungle, some of it is Drum’n’Bass producers aping Dubstep. There’s also some techno — mnml courtesy of…

Another footwork episode, this one with some footwork-tempo Drun’n’Bass in the mix. I initially called this one Footwork vs Jungle, but if so the footwork quickly overpowered and assimilated the competition. Om Unit and Philip D Kick and Dawn Day Night and Malou are not just hopelessly outnumbered, they all contribute heavily Chicago-influenced tracks. Sinistarr’s…

The initial idea for this episode was a bunch of techno and a bunch of gqom… but when I had the playlist worked out it was three times longer than I could even consider fitting into an hour, so I started cutting and cutting and ended up with only two gqom tracks, plus two D’n’B tunes and…

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…

This most recent episode first aired a few weeks ago (apologies for the delay), at a time when a confluence of circumstances led to zero people listening to it. I thought that was a shame, because I’m quite fond of this one. So I let it marinate for a few weeks and aired it again.…

Wednesday, April 25th, 11/10C, RadioNOPE Step to the Music episode 117 premieres, featuring some proper bangin’ Footwork and a bunch of stuff that mixes well with Footwork. Yup, it’s another 160 BPM show, and the hardest thing about putting it together was paring 7 hours of prime sonic ecstasy down to a lean 60 minutes……
