Beats and Grooves and Random Left Turns

Episode 195: Tabula Rasa

FOUR! FOUR weeks in a row playing Machinedrum and SWAN MEAT! Ahhhh-hahahahaha! Even a D’n’B episode can’t stop me. This is the last new episode for a bit of a bit, as we proceed into holiday reruns. I will be putting together an episode for the weird week between Christmas and New Year’s. As usual,…

Episode 194: FDT

I think the theme of this episode speaks for itself, and without great subtlety. Right out of the gate. By the Wednesday following election day we could all breathe a sigh of relief at the thought of seeing a certain president’s back.

Notably, I accidentally included two jungle tracks from the same producer (Pulse), and for some reason the BPM reverted from 164 back to 160(?!) and…

Episode 190: FIFTH ANNIVERSARY 150 BPM EXTRAVAJAMZA!!

Holy crow! This episode marks FIVE FULL FRIGGIN’ YEARS of me doing this show! I wasn’t quite sure what to do… in the past special episodes have generally been extra long. One anniversary episode was the first I recorded using Traktor instead of put together in Ableton (which is now my usual method). Another anniversary…

Coming This Week: Some 2017 Favorites, Part I

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I strongly suspect that I bought more music in 2017 than I had in any year previous. Trying to make an episode out of my favorite tunes of the year has backed up this suspicion. For a bit it was looking like I was compiling another 2 hour episode, until I…
