“But all my friends, they cry about being lonely…” This episode starts off with JETS in full IDM mode, sounding a bit like a cross between AFX and Mouse On Mars. From there, things get syncopated and energetic. Hard Drum, Hop Hop, house and club manifestations, a bit of mnml techno, some Jersey Club, even…

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.…

So this here episode slows things down considerably. 100 BPM is home to dancehall and reggaeton and various other slow-burning funky genres. Many of them, certainly in my experience, and certainly in this episode, have a Latin feel to them, even from Japanese or Londoner producers. Slavic producers, on the other hand, certainly in my…

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…

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 one begins with Astronomique’s modern reimagining of 90’s dreampop before shifting gears to Ckrono’s aggressive reggaeton sounds (off a compilation of House music). The remainder of the mix goes back and forth between oblique club and hip-hop, with a focus on the oldschool. There are a few sidetracks into slow house and alternative rock before…

This week’s episode took the base stock of oblique Club I’ve been simmering for a few months now and adds flavors of house, techno and gqom. It’s a quintessential SttM episode, in that it gets really weird around the middle, and then gets super poppy at the end. Also, there are several “clever” transitions that were entirely…

Here is last night’s episode for your time-shifted listening delight. As previously mentioned, it features a mix of techno and tech-house, plus some Swedish house-which-may-as-well-be-techno because… well… norse? Marcel Dettmann & Ben Klock – Dawning (Revisited) [Scenario] Hubie Davison – Mannequin Move [I Won’t Be There EP] Scuba – Television [Claustrophobia] Aebeloe – Forma [4…

The line between House and Techno can be a little fuzzy… more tendencies and attitudes than hard and fast rules separate them. Complicating matters is the extensive cross-pollination between the genres, creating buffer zones of house-influenced techno and techno-influenced house. Tonight’s episode explores those areas of overlap, while remaining pretty solidly in the techno camp.…
