It’s nice to be able to say this is episode 5 of the podcast, with more subscribers signing up each month.
I’ve made it my personal goal to make each podcast/promo mix better than the last, last month’s mix lacked a certain amount of depth to it, and didn’t retain a groove as much as the previous, so I’v tried to recapture it this month, and keep to a steady flow up until about halfway through, before opening it up a bit more.
Hopefully that’s evident and everyone enjoy’s listening to it as much as I did recording it.
Constructive feedback is definitely welcome all round…

Thought this is probably as good a place to mention as any, that I’m looking for artists & DJ’s to record exclusive mixes for the podcast. Doesn’t matter how low or high profile you are, if you think you can bring something different to the podcast, then drop me an email.
(I’m not looking for 70 minutes of the breaks, trance or drum and bass anthems, that anyone could find anywhere else, but something that stands out from everything else)

Good Evening

Sorry for the distinct lack of updates over the last week or two, I hadn’t even realised it had been that long! I’ve just been busy around and about, soaking up some life and enjoying the weather.
On my travels I have come across the following albums which I thought I should recommend to y’all:

2 Many DJ’s – As Heard on Radio Soulwax
I’m sure everyone owns this, or definitely should do. I had it but it seems to have disappeared so I bought it again. I think the only way you can really appreciate this mix is to go and buy it, so yea if you’re interested click Here.
I found it in Fopp, but I’m pretty sure you can get it in Virgin as well.

Ellen Allien – Fabric 34
Shut the door, turn of the light, stick this on and drift in to a minimal techno / tech house coma. Hypnotic as fuck, all other music should be banned and it should just sound like this…atleast for 70 mins if not forever.

Simian Mobile Disco – Suck My Deck
Get a can of acid .
Get some beats.
Get some white noise.
Put it all in a blender on the crush setting.
Record the noise it makes (including the sound of the blender crushing everything).
Tip results over a distorion pedal, into a glass. (like you do with absinthe and sugar).
Put LFO - Freak at the end, to give it a bit of after taste kick.

It’s actually very good mix, just noisy and acidic, but if that’s what you’re into (which obviously I am) then it’ll be right up your street. I’d give it about a 1 on the PH scale, which is apparently stomach acid, it burns on the way up, but it feels slightly pleasurable in the most wrong way. Lemon juice wouldn’t be acidic enough, but battery acid would be unlistenable. Buy it!
