Following the previous angry one, this episode is relatively sedate and apolitical, featuring some jazzy electro sounds, some grime, and quite a bit of d******. There’s a touch of angry hip hop in there, because the police have not yet been defunded, and things do get pretty dang heavy just from a sonic standpoint here…

Time again for a 140BPM episode! These tend to lean heavily on older music, since d****** started really turning to shit around 2010. But that leaves more than five years of viable dance tunes! The newer stuff here is grime and faster club/house tunes, as well as random bits of rock, hip hop, and electronic…

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…

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…

And so, this episode, at least to an extent, felt like me relearning how to do a mix. Which is odd, since I only took a week off. Possibly the retro feel is due to the subject matter, which takes us back in time somewhere between four and twelve years. Yes, this is shamefully, shamelessly…

“if you call that music…” Yeah, so I’m over a month late getting this episode posted up here. I’m kinda running out of things to say, I feel like? This episode is 140 BPM. It has some grime, it has some d******, it has some faster-paced future club, as would be expected for such a…

This episode starts off with several tunes that fall more on the “song” end of the song/track spectrum. First off, Montreal’s Ouri splits the difference between techno and pop. Then Santa Muerte provides an edit of mumblestar Lil Uzi Vert, coming from the most recent Bootlegs and Edits compilation (which comp is, without a doubt, the MVP…

The new DJ Ends EP is pretty great. It’s a Teutonic take on Footwork, combined with Jungle influences. This episode starts out with a more Footwork-indebted track before sequeing into Miko, a Polish producer. There’s plenty of oldschool Chicago footwork to come, but Sun People, bastiengoat from Oakland, Malou Mørkeberg from Finnland, Jlin from Detroit, and KΣITO from Japan…

The most recent episode begins with some vogue club, weaving in and out of a bit of post-punk noise and techno realness (RIP Marcus Intalex) before some sino-rap slows things down and we make the switch to hip hop. From there it’s a gradual speed up, dropping a bit of drum’n’bass, quite a bit of oblique industrial…

This week’s Episode features an array of polyrhythmic intersections, percussive club madness, and glistening dark borderline-psychedelic sounds. It leans pretty heavily on the Classical Trax “Jamz!” compilation, as well as several charity comps. Real Bingey Byrell the Great – #Cmon [Chopped Cheese] Jayda G – Sestra’s Cry [Physically Sick] NKC – For Yourself [Her Records Volume…
