ABL:Radio - Transient Messages - Performed by Phenotract (MP3)

Brooklyn, NY based electronic act Phenotract was started in 1999 with electronic sounds, textures, and rhythms to create synthetic workouts geared for both the dancefloor and the mind. Since it's inception, he has drawn influences from both older and newer house,electronica, trance, and industrial to create a lasting impressions on the listener. After a series of demos, the first album release was "Within A Second" in 2003. It combined hard tech dance floor tracks, periods of chilled out moments, and an overall atmospheric haze that permeated throughout. It was described as a dreamy otherwordly album that digitally cataloged the human condition. Isaac Glendening of the Philadelphia trance-pop act Cesium 137 helped produce a fair portion of it. As the project's sound grew and time passed, the tracks morphed into more formidable structures, which have become more melody laden and now carry an even more distinct sound and groove. Now released in October of 2007 ,"Transient Messages" brought aboard the Brooklyn based female vocalist Niabi Caldwell who adds an angelic, ethereal quality to the mix. Boasting futuristic synths, deeply effected voices, driving beats, and an imaginary soundtrack like quality, the new sound is descibed as "neo-pop". Phenotract will continue to attempt to keep evolving it's sonic aesthetic

Genres: 80s, electronic, synth-pop

ABL:Radio - I've Dreamt Music - Mixed by imunderpressure (MP3)

Back in 1981, long before the iPod and when I was a young lad, my mother purchased a Sony Walkman. I'd steal it from her when I'd go off to bed and sit for hours listening to my limited collection of cassette tapes. One of my favorites was the soundtrack to "Blade Runner," a movie which had lasting impact in my dreams and visions of what the future might bring. (Yes, I know "Blade Runner" was about a dystopian L.A. of the future.) This week, imunderpressure returns with his second mix for ABL:Radio. It begins with a track from the "Blade Runner" soundtrack (Esper Edition) and swiftly moves into a pleasing set of Italo, disco, and 80's funk 'n soul. You'll recognize some tracks from previous mixes, but there are plenty you haven't heard here, too. This mix is exactly the headphone candy I would've loved on that old Sony, whether slipping off into dream land or rambling around the streets.

Genres: 80s, disco, electronic, funk, funk and soul, italo disco

ABL:Radio - Bad Teeth - Mixed by Ladycréme (MP3)

Our plans for this week's podcast didn't quite workout, so from our archive, I've pulled out this mix by Ladycréme made back in October. They originally posted this mix at a lower bit rate on their myspace page, and I've re-encoded it at the highest VBR rate available for your maximum enjoyment. As I've explained before with the last mix they composed for us, their shtick involves mixing analog synth heavy tracks and enhancing it by adding more , yes, more analog synth over the top! And the results are ... well ... over the top!

Genres: electro, electronic, house, synth-pop
