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.…

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.

Last night’s episode is available in the archives! (And on iTunes or your favorite podcast aggregator) Listen to hear undergound/avant-garde club tracks from all over, combining world beats with industrial crunch. A nice change from corralling a bunch of different genres/tempos to just focusing on a smaller range… Nuvaman – Girls Girls Girls [TAR Class…
