So I had told you that I was going to do a city sessions based on Tijuana, which was this Mexican/Latin American chill out set, however since our last broadcast in which I did a dance set, I got totally on a dance kick. Some how that landed me into 80's Goth, Darkwave, Electroclash, Industrial, and Mash Up set. I've decided to name this one "Nocturnia", which will replace the old "Dawn of the Electro Dead" sessions. I've been listening to this all week!
Finally, we are also announcing that episode 300 will be the last show on the Beautiful Noise Broadcast. But DONT FRET. Nina and I are starting a whole new project that will be more accessible to you and we hope you'll come over to the new server. Details soon. I'm leaving for Chicago next week for another art show. I'm the featured artist for Pride this year at the Center on Halstead, and the show is on the 18th which I'm pretty excited about! Here are the details.

Howdy BNB'ers, A few weeks ago I was driving east on the 210 to the desert for an art production job out in the desert. I was setting up pop up galleries at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs for the upcoming traffic of Coachella. It was my first time out there, but ... certainly not my first time to the desert. I became heavily addicted to the arid climate and scenery of the desert when Nina Grey introduced me to her place out in Orondo Washington. Weekend upon weekend I found myself hurrily driving my indestructible ancient Ford Escort over Steven's Pass Mountain Range to the quiet mountainous desert range of Washington. It was one of the most beautiful places I had stayed in, and even to this day I think about that place. This was probably why I was so excited to be in Palm Springs, because I was imagining it to be my "Orondo". I drove through a gigantic desert storm. The clouds were cold and black and the rain was so intense that I couldn't see five feet in front of me. Cars were sloshing and sliding to the side, some of them had crashed into eachother, leaving remnants of metal dispersed among flashing lights of police and emergency response vehicles. To my right through the thickness of the rain I could see these white obscure spinning objects near me, but the rain was so intense I couldn't see them... . and just as the rain was coming down hard, the clouds met with the hot dry heat and dissapated... and I was shot full force into clear blue skies and a shining sun above me... and the obscure white spinning unidentifiable objects in the rain exploded into full focus... and i was met with the desert with hundreds upon hundreds of white windmills in a sandy field that stretched beyond what my eyes could comprehend. And that was my first glimpse of corridor into Palm Springs. I drove into town, which was stunning. Pool parties were happening, house and disco was playing everywhere. I worked 12 hour days and didn't even notice the time going by because I was surrounded by such intense beauty. At night Id drive around town and walk the streets... and go stargazing. It was ... so beautiful. This city session is about some of those dance tracks played out by the pool those hot desert nights... and driving down the 111 with my windows down and people watching. .. Enjoy

Music Lovers, I'm back from my two week trip around the US. I spent some time in Mexico, a art production stint in Palm Springs for a week (for Coachella's crowd coming into the Ace Hotel) and recently Chicago for my first solo Disney exhibition in Schaumberg. I just got back two days ago and what a whirlwind little adventure. I'm glad to be back in my apartment in Los Angeles for the time being. I travel back to Chicago in three weeks for another show at the Center on Halstead in downtown Chicago.. so the next few weeks are crunch time in getting work done. I'm already slightly missing the city, and mainly because Chicago differs so incredibly from Los Angeles. The people are a little more down to earth, their agenda is slightly less industry based, and there.. .. is just a little more soul to that town (no offense LA, i love you)... The last time I was in that city was in 2000 when I was with TJ in the Ukranian Village off of Western. There were bittersweet memories of him intangled in that town... and so... so so much has changed in 12 years. This set is an homage specifically to the night time in Chicago, and riding the well equipped CTA subway trains over the city and looping next to buildings. There is ... this quiet deep and moody love swirling around in the air in that town... a subtle constructed beauty in the mechanics and function of that metropolis.. Its a beautiful place, and Chicago has soul. I played ALOT of acid jazz and dub while riding around the area... and mostly so because it was a MAJOR soundtrack for me in the mid to late nineties, and especially 2000 when i was there. This is a perfect set to piggyback off of Nina's INCREDBILE Trip Hop Session last week. So relax, and enjoy to the sounds of the Mid West Metropolis. Chicago, I love you.

Hey everybody, it's Nina Grey bringing back to life an old musical session called Trip-HopScotch. One of the first thoughts that came across my mind while doing this session was "why doesn't the world have more Trip-Hop music?" Like the Shoegaze genre, both originated out of the underworld of the UK in the mid 1990's only to fall into a subculture of dedicated ears. Granted, elements of trip-hop indeed have made it to the big car stereo by mega artists such as Bjork and Madonna; but at the same time, Trip-Hop music also gave several artists a signature sound of their own which created an entire environmental bubble around them, their own Wonderland of unique sound. I'm referring to innovative talent such as Portishead, DJ Shadow, Massive Attack, Moloko, and other artists who created loyal listeners out of music-loving fans from across countless genres. I always silently applaud the metal head wearing a Portishead shirt under his biker jacket! This week's session of Trip-HopScotch features the following artists: 1. Moloko - Fun For Me (Radio Edit) 2. Little People - Moon 3. Tricky - Hell Is Around The Corner 4. RJD2 - The Horror 5. Gorillaz - Tomorrow Comes Today 6. Skipless - Still 7. Massive Attack (Tracy Thorne) - Freedom 8. UNKLE - Unreal 9. The Avalanches - Two Hearts in 3/4 Time 10.DJ Shadow - Midnight In A Perfect World 11.Sneaker Pimps - Bloodsport 12.Morcheeba - Blindfold 13.DJ Krush - Yeah 14.RJD2 - Shot In The Dark 15.Portishead - Mysterons I should have included a track from Paul's Boutique in this one! Oh well, the ghost of Beastie Boys is with us this week! ~ Nina Grey Next Week: Tribute to Chicago - Tennessee Loveless (The man with the most "e"s in his name) |

Do you love Techno music? I forgot how much I do until I spent this entire week going through the back catalogue of electronic DJs in my mind. It completely slipped my mind of the days of walking into a music store and purchasing ANYTHING that Deep Dish put on the shelves. The nights of weaving through traffic while tapping the steering wheel—the synthetic rhythms of 'Beaucoup Fish' spinning in the CD player. Yes, I definitely love Techno music and the turn of the season makes the reunion even more welcoming. This week's extended session called Techno Prisoners! is an audio assembly of Progressive, House, Electronic and Neo-Trance tracks. Initially, I had over two hours of audio selections, but managed to whittle it down to a 1½ hour set: · Deep Dish (BT) - Shame · Meat Beat Manifesto - Prime Audio Soup · Underworld - Jumbo · Trentemøller - Shades Of Marble · DJ Krush - The Blackhole · Thomas Fehlmann - Schaum · Sasha - Platform · Deadmau5 - Brazil (Second Edit) · IIO - Rapture (Paul Van Dyk Remix) · Death in Vegas - Aisha (Iggy Pop) · Rabbit in the Moon - Out of Body Experience · Underworld - King of Snake (Barking Mix) Now get that Spring cleaning done, damn it! Next week's session: 'Trip Hop Scotch' with Nina Grey |

Howdy BNB'ers, I've spent the past ten years in an office, and only until last year have I been working in one. Somehow I became a painter full time, which has completely disconnected me from the world. Going stir crazy, yet completely happy with my creative outputs, I had to somehow figure out how I was going to work again, yet not commit to something full time, and that was when I got the bright idea to return my heart to the late night shift. Now, 10 years later, I drive home around 4, and park my car near my house, walk up Vermont to Mt. Hollywood, and hike to the top of the mountain to watch the sun rise from the east and begin to highlight the marine layer fogged shield of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. This is a soundtrack to my drive to work at night, serving the late night bar crowd, and ultimately coming home to a mountain and sun who could care less that I have food stains and smell like ketchup when the day is done.
Next Week: Nina is taking over the next two weeks, as I'm out at Palm Springs for the week preparing things for the Coachella wave, and then I'm off to Chicago for my first solo art show with Disney! Till Next Time, Stay Beautiful, Tennessee Oh, and if you can, please support the show! |

Hello Music Lovers, The 2nd part of the set is up, equalling an hour of sweaty dance floor beats and luscious noise. I'm pretty happy with the over all focus of the show and cannot wait to do this set again. I love doing these retrospective compiliations, because you realize where you were in your life through some of these tracks. I can't believe I'm almost at 275 episodes on the BNB, and I'm so glad that you've continued to be great listeners. I've got an arsenal of noise coming your way kind of continuing into that dream state sound of mind kind of groove that I've wrapped the BNB around for so many years. Enjoy!
Next Week: Homage (The Late Night Shift Mix) The Beautiful Noise Broadcast is a free broadcast, that relies on the generous donations of our continued listeners. Please feel free to donate what you can to keep the show going. Thank you! |

Hello Beautiful Noise Listeners, The ElectroLust.Fm series is up for an anniversary edition. The air date for the first show was exactly 4 years ago. I had just moved from Seattle to San Francisco (with a small 2 month stay on Alameda Island to get my stuff together), and was restarting my life again. I tended to pull a lot of geographics back in the day because I was primarily never comfortable with my surroundings, but San Francisco was always my hub. While I was there, I suddenly was just overcome with the idea that I could start over, and this wave of nostalgia waved over me with this electrical hope. San Francisco has always been this sensual city, and I'm not sure if its because of its liberal magic, or european structuring, but it totally makes sense why ElectroLust.FM was born in that town. This anniversary set goes over the breadth of the broadcast, highlighting some of my favorite songs. This is more of the bedroom electro downtempo side of the show. Up next will be a more upbeat sweaty dancefloor type of vibe.

Hello Beautiful Noise Lovers, Nina Grey and I are doing a back to back session on Ambient this week, bringing you the 16th and 17th edition of Sleepyhead Radio. I've been carrying these tracks around for the month, and slightly obsessing on some of them. They've been the late night soundtracks to my drives in Echo Park and Silverlake out here. The noise is great company for some of the antics that I see around my visual spectrum as of late. This set is filled with head swirling, heart swooning sounds intermixed with some heavily textural soundscapes. This also includes a very incredible 20 minute track by one of my latest ambient obsessions Brock Van Wey (BVDUB). This is perfect for sultry evenings, late night excursions, and downtown city walking. Enjoy.
