(ODYODYODY) This episode starts… I’m not gonna lie to you, the beginning of this episode is a bit challenging. Possibly even described as a “harsh toke.” 3XPERIENCE is not interested in making friends, and segueing from there into the aggressive pop-industrial of The Mall continues in a prickly vein. Some UK Garage and slow juke…

2021 Part II So here is the second episode of my look back at 2021. Quite a bit of “second verse, same as the first” to my look back at 2020, honestly. Lockdown hasn’t altered my pallet much at all. If anything, this episode features fewer curveballs and hews more to genre: disco/house -> techno…

This episode was me trying to bring more variety into my ~160 BPM mixes, but what surprises me almost a year later (how long I was stuck trying to find anything interesting to say about this mix) is how horny it is. I LIKE TRAINS start things off with their customary louche sinister vibe, Sully…

First episode after last week’s shenanigans, and I think it’s quite nice. Maybe not quite enough to make up for a missing two hours, but quite nice indeed. 160 BPM Footwork/Jungle, with some techno and club bangers and a few curveballs… including three remixes, at least one of which you’re BOUND to recognize… And things…

Aloha Amigo-San While largely based in grime, this episode ranges quite widely, from Pottery’s wild Texan (though Canadian, actually) post-punk rave-up, to London for Silkie’s posh Dubstep and sinister instrumental grime from Terror Danjah and Johnny East… then to Portland for Modern Melodies and their slowed down take on Juke. Then we head back to…

Wotcha! It’s another Footwork/Jungle episode here at Step to the Music Incorporated. This one dives right in and doesn’t let up, straight juke madness until El-P and Killer Mike drop by for some jewel running. The final third of the mix is then more of a mix of jungle, footwork and drum’n’werk tunes, until Fever…

This episode begins with another chance to show off a new station ID, a charming little morsel from the singer of Swedish neo-goth outfit Then Comes Silence. This is, unsurprisingly, followed by one of their tunes… the best on their new album, if you ask me. Things end with a tune from another neo-goth band…

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…

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…

BROTHERS! SISTERS! Allow the groove to be political for just a moment. Do not need. Do not want. Then the episode settles into a sibling to episode 128, though cleaving a bit more closely to footwork. Exceptions, overlooking the lead-in track, include another fast grime tune from Proc Fiskal and a tune by Aphex Twin, off his…
