Thu, 5 November 2009  Electro was what I was going to play this week, but as I was designing the flyer for this broadcast I started thinking "maybe I should do a broadcast that sounds perfect for stargazing in the desert in the middle of nowhere at night". This is what the result was. This set is chocked full with cool, crisp glitch IDM intermixed with warm honeyed sounds from an ambient hive. Two distinct sounds, merging together for a harmonious lullaby deep for driving under the stars.

Fri, 30 October 2009  Interpretations are great, especially when they come from such recent (and some classic) heavy hitters out the music world. This is, the 2nd compilation of cover songs I have done with the BNB. The first one, was back in 2007 when I was in Seattle, so this set is LONG overdue. I was really excited to see Goldfrapp cover the State of Grace song, "It's Not Over Yet". This song was a massive progressive trance hit exposed by Paul Okenfold in his stadium sessions back in the late 90's. This song, reinterpreted in the soft coolness of Goldfrapp's vocals hightens this song's potential 20 fold. And the strangest thing, is that this is a cover of a cover as the Klaxons recently did this one. Another fine gem is The Rest, doing one of my other favorite songs (as you might know, as I've played/annoyed you every damn remix on this broadcast of this one) of Robyn/Kleerup's "With Every Heart Beat". This luscious electro hit is reimagined into a blurry shoegazer track. Incredible! And lastly, the beginning and end tracks for this set. The first is a heartbreakingly beautiful rendition of Bjork's "Joga" by PS22 elementary school 5th graders out in Stanton Island, NY. The last is Roisin Murphy, Amanda Ghost, Cock'n'Bull Kid, and Sinead O'Connor singing a cover of Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" (This too was also covered by Whitney Houston back in the day). This song was created for the UK Based "Action Aid", an org helping those out in poverty. Enjoy!

Fri, 23 October 2009  Hello BNB'ers, and welcome back this week. The Autumn is kicking in some amazing weather on the Pacific coast this year, which is perfect for kicking back and listening to ambient and mellow downtempo. Last week I mentioned that I was going to be dj'ing a versus set with Nina Grey, however it is postponed for later down the line. Instead, I'm bringing you back my absolute FAVORITE type of music to spin and listen to, which is ambient. This set has delicious glitch, slumbering electronic mellow ambient, shoegazer, and a bit of heroin house. This is also a dedication to my friend John out in the bay area, whose incredible music knowledge in the fields of ambient helped inspire this great set. I will say hands down, that this is one of my all time favorite sets I have dj'ed in the history of the BNB. Sleepyhead radio 9 also includes a collaboration with Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins singing on FSOL's Life Forms, and a great cover of BoC by Bibio. Enjoy!

Thu, 1 October 2009  ETC, the best random session filled with hot flotsam and jetsam sound, is back up on the BNB this week! This set is filled with random dance, glitch, electro, and pop for your hungry ears (can ears really be hungry? maybe not, but if your ears ate sound, they'd be eating this set up). Check it out!

Thu, 24 September 2009  This is a dual dj by Loveless & Grey this week for the ninth session of Chill Pill (9th session, really?!) this week. This session started in 2007 back in Seattle, and has traveled through San Francisco and finally out to here in Los Angeles California. Tennessee will be starting off the set with instrumental bliss moving into soft sweet sensual downtempo, and Nina Grey will be ending it out with great chill out classics intermixed with lounge and mellow grooves. Enjoy!

Wed, 16 September 2009  Howdy! This is the 3rd edition of $3 Disco, which originally was a basic dance set that emerged into a pure disco set. This one ranges with extremely hard to find classic and foriegn disco intermixed with new hits and electro fusions. Below the tracklist you will see one of my favorite obsessions in Italian Disco, Heather Parisi. Born in Hollywood, Heather grew up training in classic ballet, and was a part of SF ballet as a youth-teen. She was discovered on vacation in Italy while dancing in a Discotheque, and overnight she became one of Italy's biggest television stars, often appearing in the ever popular variety shows (Fantastico). The track on this playlist is from Fantastico 5 in 1984. This may not sound too American Disco'esque, but in Italy, Italian Disco (ItaloDisco) can branch onto the fusion of when disco merged with 80's classic dance. A recent major surge in modern electro has captured the classic elements of this genre, causing a great mix refreshed dance tracks. Check it out below!
And as always, your support for this show is majorly welcome! Next Week: Chill Pill 9 (Featuring Nina Grey) Comments[3] |
Fri, 11 September 2009  Ah, its my last days in San Francisco, my old home that I do miss (even though I'm pretty fond of Los Angeles strangely enough). I figured it would be best to sling out another somber lullaby of a set as I go back to my new city. It was nice to get away from the wildfire season in Los Angeles (which is still under massive wildfire North of the valley). So get your eyeballs a cryin', and your heart a achin' for the third edition of this set.

Fri, 4 September 2009  I'm back up in San Francisco for the week (and will be doing 2 broadcasts up here). Its about 30 - 40 degrees cooler back up here which is a welcome change from the blistering Summer heat of Los Angeles. Also, its nice to breathe! Currently North of Los Angeles (right past the valley), a raging forest fire is sweeping at a massive rate, causing the sky to cloud up and rain large amounts of ash all over Los Angeles and surrounding areas. I figured while I was up here, what better music to remind me of living here than playing music started out here in Mash Up Central (Thanks to Adrian and Mysterious D of the legendary club Bootie). While for the past two sessions, SMASHED! has been mixed with RoboDisco 3000 (Smash!Robot!Smash! sessions), it seemed better to split them up for now. (PS: I included three Party Ben tracks back to back because he's 100% genius._ Enjoy!
