In the process of writing my review of Oversteps today, I listen to bits and pieces of the entire Autechre discography. Maybe it was because I was trying to listen critically to Oversteps, but something about Autechre clicked in my head in a way it maybe hadn’t before. There are times when they’re [...]
In keeping with my new-found enthusiasm for South African Dance Music, this mix is heavy on stuff from Durban, with some detours to at least 2 other continents and an island nation….

This is mostly live from my 1 hr radio substitute slot from last tuesday. Since it [...]
Been a while since I did a mix. The proximate cause for doing this one is my fascination with Cooly G’s tracks. I wanted to juxtapose her stuff with tracks that, to me, sound like percursors to her sound, in particular Dinosaur L’s “Go Bang” (for the trombones and ESG’s “Moody” (for the [...]

NOTE: All of these tracks are in one of three categories: 1) I bought them 2) They’re Creative Commons & Freely available on the Internet or 3) They were given to me directly by the artist. I won’t say that [...]
Out of work today with a cold, so I lashed up the mix I’d been collecting tracks for. The theme, again, is dub techno & dubstep, with some detours into other genres. The track selection basically came out of listing my ITunes library in the order of most recently added, and picking tracks that I [...]
