Hibernation Dream Mix
People - I’ve been DJing for 15+ years now, and have been sharing these little comps here for a few years, but I’ve finally gotten around to recording an actual mix. I’m really happy with the results. Hope you all enjoy it as well. Steam or download on Soundcloud. Here’s the tracklist - maybe it’ll entice you to click the link…

Always At Night
Part II to “Welcome to Joyland“‘s Part I. Dance music. In a mix. But unmixed. How novel. Not much to say about this… classic dance tracks, old and new. Many of my favorites to DJ (from vinyl, of course). Hopefully a few things you don’t already know, if knowing is your “thing”.

Sounds from a Temporary Holding Cell Dream
Picking up where Diskono Transport Mind (the first mix posted here) left off, I’ve been compiling this since then. Thematically, it’s the same idea - mostly synthesizer and drum machine tunes, mostly instrumental. But, this spans the 60s up to the present. There are a few more styles represented here as well - some beat-less stuff and some dancier tracks, etc. Some really...

Oni Ayhun & Kassem Mosse Live Sets
These aren’t particularly new to the internets (I’ve been putting off sharing them), but they’re so good that I thought I’d make a post out of it.
Oni Ayhun has been one of the most thrilling artists to follow in recent years for me. His releases have been few and far between, but their quality has made for maximum and repeated play. He is responsible not only for...

Ron Hardy - Unreleased Recordings
It was never my intention to post any full releases here, but this one is just too good, and too interesting - not to mention relevant to much else I’ve posted. Besides, it’s a bootleg collection. If you’re even remotely a fan of anything from early house music, to minimal synth/electronics, to italo disco, to early industrial, to all this current cassette...

Welcome To Joyland
This is a dance mix. And, it’s also a continuation of me giving away all of my DJ secrets - though, for some serious heads out there much of this may be old news, I know. Some Synth Pop, some Electro, some Left-field Disco, some Italo Disco, some Industrial-funk, some Detroit Techno origins, some House. And a passage of Drexciyan pleasures at the end to cool things off a bit. Really,...

Newworldaquarium / Jochem Peteri
Compilation of single and EP tracks from Newworldaquarium (aka Jochem Peteri / 154 / Ross 154 / Newworldromantic), from Amsterdam. First releasing an EP under the name Ross 154 in 1993, Peteri has let out a slow trickle of extremely unique sounding electronic recordings which would be classified as House or Techno, but to me, sound unlike anything else I’ve heard within these genres. His...

WIRE : Singles / B Sides / Demos 1977-79
Here’s something i put together quick since I haven’t posted anything in so long. Stay tuned for a behemoth post that I’ve been putting together for about 2 years now…
So, for me personally, Wire are just about the most enduring band I can think of. They were, if my memory serves me, one of the first non-contemporary bands I discovered, and fell in love with on my...

Twisted Twisting Twists MIX
Here’s a mix of incredibly catchy, twisted pop songs. That’s the theme. If a tune is catchy, that’s one thing, but if it’s catchy along with being completely bizarre and other-worldly it just brings it to another level.
Starting off with a healthy dose of synth pop and neue deutsche welle - then things get even stranger in the middle - then finishing off with some...

Moritz von Oswald / Mark Ernestus Mix [Basic...
The revolutionary and highly influential techno duo Basic Channel began working together around 1993. Since then Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus have collaborated on numerous other projects including Maurizio, Round One - Five, and Rhythm & Sound. The two are widely credited with inventing the ‘Dub Techno’ genre. They’ve mostly released their own records(each project...

Object Music Mix:
Record label run by Steve Solamar(Spherical Objects/Noyes Brothers etc.) out of Manchester from 1978-1981. Object Music and its bands received a fair amount of praise in their time alongside fellow Mancunians The Fall, Joy Division, and The Buzzcocks. When Solamar closed the short-lived label to pursue other life plans, its bands and their recordings fell into obscurity. At a time when I’ve...
Omar-S Compilation
Omar-S is one of a select few (in my opinion) currently saving/revitalizing/pushing forward Detroit techno. Releasing all his own records and using all analog equipment(not as a fetish, but because it just fucking sounds better). Can’t decide whether I’d describe his sound as warm and fuzzy, or razor-sharp. I’ll say both - no need to decide.
I’ve front-loaded the mix with two of his...
