Thu, 19 November 2009  This set is filled to the brim with heavy electro beats, non stop dance, and new wave disco! This is (and I say this everytime I do this session), my favorite electro set of this year. I have been savoring some of these great remixes for a while, so I am very excited to play these tracks for you. This is danceable the entire way through, so enjoy!

Fri, 13 November 2009  This set is compiled mostly of some recent finds I have stumbled on, particularly in the new gazer category I've recently discovered one of my favorite new gazer bands called "Day Sleepers", who have blown my mind with their amazing talents. They took an entire generation of shoe gazer, and molded it into this superior super nova of blurry sound that is VERY addictive. The best thing about this group, is that there isn't ONE bad song that they've done. Its completely uncanny. I've put them up as the first song to start the set. I hope you enjoy this newgazer bliss!

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!

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] |
