    The Twelves: Essential Mix

    Pete Tong’s Essential Mix is always great, and was a major inspiration for my old radio show on Radio1190, The Acid Lounge.  Lately I’ve been loving remixes by Brazilan duo The Twelves, and just found a recording of The Twelves Essential Mix.

    The Acid Lounge 2005-06-23

    Another episode of my college radio show, The Acid Lounge dug up out of the archives. This audio recording is from Radio1190’s automatic audio archive, so it’s being recorded before it gets processed (leveled) and sent to the transmitter. Because of that, and because I was still learning how to be a radio DJ, the…

    Musical Roots: The Breezeblock on BBC Radio One

    Update on 2010-02-21 – BBC Radio One’s show “The Breezeblock” hosted by Mary Anne Hobbs has long been one of my favorites.

  • M83 – Saturdays = Youth

    M83 – Saturdays = Youth

    The latest album from M83, Saturdays = Youth is out as of April 14th, and it’s purely wonderful. A slight departure from the sounds of the previous albums, especially digital shades, but great in its own way. This album holds its own among Anthony Gonzalez‘s repertoire of M83 sounds, but fits perfectly within it. The 80’s, song driven style is…
