This episode starts out moody, with Austra’s downright heartbreaking rumination on romantic doom, “Anywayz,” and gradually picks up. The tempo follows suit, gradually increasing over the course of the mix from a sedate sub-disco 117 BPM to a breakneck 130 by the end. Approaching the midpoint, we have ourselves a downright rave-up, before things turn…

This here episode, in its formative stages, kept flip flopping between being dark songs to plumb the depths of self-quarantine and being light happy songs to take one’s mind off (what seemed at the time) such a terrible situation (were we ever so innocent?!) while refusing to settle on either. It finally came together when…

This episode features dance rock, disco, dance pop, some quick Latinx club, a Jersey Club remix, some left-field techno out of Bristol, UK, a bit of straight functional techno, and quite a bit of lo-fi house. As per ususl (do I even need to say it any more?) things get a bit weirrrd at around…

Another extra-length episode looking back at a year that was a year, exactly what it says on the tin. This one focuses on a lower BPM range, starting at 105 and building to 135 by its end. So at the start there is hip hop, nu disco and dancehall/dembow-inspired club. The second chunk features some…

Despite this episode‘s melancholy title, it’s largely joyous when it isn’t being weird. Things start out upbeat with a characteristically poppy offering from Kitsune, then moves on to the swirling, chugging Quantic number that gives the episode its title. Even the song itself tempers its downbeat lyrics with the lush setting of “Atlantic Oscillations.” This…

Another ~120 BPM episode. This one distinguishes itself with the inclusion of more rock than the average SttM, and announces the fact right out of the gate with the latest Redd Kross single. From there it quickly pivots to some nu-disco courtesy of Breakbot and Holy Ghost! From there, we get all kindsa genre agnostic–…

Another exercise in offensively eclectic, this episode begins with Chicago shoegaze and ends with Trukish psych-rock. In between it visits some hip hop (in ironic celebration of my newfound Insulin resistance), some French disco, some Latinx club, some Hard Drum, some techno-produced hip hop, some deconstructed club, some club remixes of various provenance (R&B, Russian…

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.…

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…
