[02] Absolute Motion (MP3)

[02] Absolute Motion is polyrhythmic electro-ambient mix that includes cuts from some Berlin-school electronic artists like Tangerine Dream and Synthetic Block and uses the idea of incorporating conventional artists who did unconventional tracks and also using conventional tracks in an unconventional way. You will hear U2 masquerading as the Passengers along with the Twilight Sad and Snow Patrol. Excerpts from these artists are intercut with some great electronic tracks from Synthetic Block, the Irresistible Force, an amazing cut done way back in 1966 by Raymond Scott, Tangerine Dream, the Alan Parsons Project, a snippet of Vir Unis and a great cut by Saul Stokes. I also tried to incorporate field recordings that were rhythmic in nature as well. THC Series [20][12] is a series of 12 mixes, all 20 minutes in length. The Zip file on my blog contains artwork for the mix as well as the “score” for the mix which is a jpeg capture of the timeline from the mixing software I use. The score can show you exactly what is playing at any specific time code. Right-click on title above and choose "save link as" to download the file--MP3 (20:00) (320k) (45.8 mb). Tracklisting, links, cover art and music mix score available on my blog (see Source below). I hope you like [02] Absolute Motion.

ABL:Radio - Short Division - Mixed by Ladycréme (MP3)

Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn is chock-full of surprises, like discovering your neighbors a few doors down are producing kick-ass tracks and smashing mixes. These neighbors we speak of are the honored guests on this week’s episode. Ladycréme is a dynamic duo who has been performing live and DJing around NYC for the last 5 years together and individually. One of the other recent projects includes a foray into electro-pop with Wolfgang. Under the Ladycréme moniker, they mix a sturdy blend of styles including classic acid-house, italo-disco, and modern electro. To maximize the effect, they layer live analog synths over mixed tracks. Inspiration is drawn from gaudy, opulent hairstyles of the rich 80's Hollywood house wives. With great confidence, I can say you won't be disappointed with today's episode, especially if you've enjoyed Attitude City and Bethany's mixes. Your bad hairday frown will be turned upsidedown! If you are wanting more, run over to Hypnote and buy their first 12" release "Motherload". Enjoy!

Genres: acid house, analog synths, electro, italo diso
