light cycles (MP3)

After a very long absence I am finally posting a new mix--light cycles. I love repetition in music–-music that uses the constant repetition of notes or themes or sounds as a basic structure to the composition. I wanted to put together a mix where all of the pieces used repetition as a major part of the cut. I also wanted to use pieces that had an “ambient” feel to them but that also were bright or upbeat. The title of the mix was inspired by the movie Tron. light cycles starts out fairly slow and quiet but becomes more vibrant as it goes along. Near the end it almost rocks out with an amazing piece I stumbled across by Can. The Can piece Future Days uses repetition to great effect. This piece is also cool because it was done back in 1973 but still sounds amazingly contemporary. I hope you enjoy light cycles. Like the last several mixes it is somewhat of a departure from the typical ambient drift and drone but I think it still evokes “ambient-ness” throughout the piece. Tracklisting, links, cover art and music score available on my blog (see Source below).

Genres: ambient, atmospheric, chill, downtempo, electronic, lo-fi, minimal, mixtape

Guido Schneider - Global Breakthrough - Africa Radio Mix (MP3)

Poker Flat Recordings’ brightest rising star, Guido Schneider has been producing electronic music since the early 90’s. Strongly influenced by “EBM“ he started his first project with a friend in 1991 with releases on SPV. In 1995 he founded his own Label “Neue Welten“ based in Celle, Germany. In 1996 he moved to Berlin where he began to fully focus on music. His productions and co-productions (e.g. as “Schneider & Radecki“ with Sammy Dee) always sounded sort of minimal, but were also exceptionally functional as he dared to stick his head out of his soundlab at an early stage. This together with the experiences from various live performances helped to perfect his tracks. Guedo was the headline act in November 2007 for one of the many succesfuly Global Breakthrough Festival Events which took place in CPT & JHB where he we played alongside a host of South Africa’s top DJ’s in the genre. Here is the Global Breakthrough promotional radio mix, which Guido put together - enjoy this one!

Genres: deep house, electro, electtronic, funk, house, minimal

[FKL] EJ - Thumbsukka (HTML→MP3)

Good god! I have no idea how I am to express this blisteringly brilliant mix in words. Ever heard the saying ‘Less Is More‘? Well if there’s a mixset that embodies that phrase, EJ’s latest minimal-tech effort would probably be it! A clean cut, well polished, spirit elevating, bone rattling effort featuring some of my personal faves, like Nathan Fake, Mark Knight, Funkagenda, Format B and *gasp* Alex Under!! Thumbsukka does anything but suck. It’s almost surreal how our mistress seems to bind each track with intelligent threads of cohesiveness that flings the listener out into the cosmos before driving them back to earth with basslines the size of houses. I guarantee this will bring out the screaming little groupie in you! All I can say is, “Do You Remember Your First Time?”

Genres: minimal
