Here’s another mix! It’s mainly ’80s Italo- & Montreal disco, hi-NRG, & synth pop, with a lot of super-duper-exclusive re-edits that you’ll never ever hear anywhere else (unless you come see me play out). No grand overarching theme like the New Beat mix; just a lot of tracks I like strung together.

I was recently invited to spin-up a set over at Northwestern University’s radio station; WNUR 89.3 FM. My man Jeekoos runs the Part Time Suckers (PTS) radio show there and diligently records the guest DJ sets. He’s got what seems like hundreds of them archived on his website. Their show tends to be dubstep-centric — PTS member, Searchl1te rocked a…
New Beat Mixtape
Here’s another installment of me going on about some under-remembered electronic subgenre of the past–this time the focus is on Belgium, and New Beat. Long before house music made it out of the Midwest, Belgium had a thriving electronic music scene (they called it Electronic Body Music, or EBM, and it was basically a dancier variant of Industrial—think Front 242,…

My boy Starkey is keeping BUSY lately! This guy is one of my fave dubstep producers at the moment. (But then again, would I have put out one of his records if I didn’t like him?) VERY recently he came through with the Street Bass Anthems Vol. 2 comp on Seclusiasis, and now he’s got TWO new releases of his…
