Beats and Grooves and Random Left Turns

Episode 201: Where Were U?

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…

Episode 199: Host

After two extra-long outings, this episode returns us to normal length, usual format, 135 BPM club and techno workout. Also in the mix are some low-tempo D’n’B mutations, a random cumbia track, a punky coldwave banger, and a fun mashup toward the end. Don’t be fooled, though… this is the calm before the storm… SCAM…

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. Two and a half weeks later he’s still throwing a(n increasingly ineffective) tantrum,…

Episode 193: Baby I Don’t Know

post-vote limbo groove Well, this episode aired on Wednesday after the 2020 election, which already feels like it was a month ago. As the title suggests, we really didn’t know what was going on. The whole week was just being in limbo. I put the playlist together and mixed the whole thing on Tuesday night,…

Episode 192: We Lose The Night

I am quite proud of this episode, by and large. I gave it another listen recently, and the tracks flow together nicely. There’s one transition that I feel like I messed up (see if you can spot it!), but for the most part it really works. This one aired three weeks before Halloween, and I…

Episode 191: Who’s Nest On Tha Flow

Here’s another 160 BPM episode! As is usual with 160 eps, it features a lot of footwork and jungle and footwork/jungle hybrids. It also includes some underground club and pop-techno. 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…

Episode 189: Law of Averages

Another ~130 BPM episode unfolds with another mix of dance rock, house, techno, and club music. This one, I suppose, distinguishes itself by an even higher than usual genre agnosticism, incorporating hip hop and Damaged Bug’s trash rock, as well as SWAN MEAT’s avant gardism, wandering almost directionlessly through the various genres on its pallet.…

Episode 188: It Ain’t No Use

I Wish That I Could Wish You Well Looking back, episode 182 featured Drum’n’Bass, began with a song by The Beths and ended with a song by Bestiärio. This episode, in a striking contrast, features Drum’n’Bass while it ENDS with a song by The Beths and BEGINS with a song by Bestiärio. Totally different, as…
