Somehow or another via my relationship with Dj Dro San, Dj Mem and Dj Urbe I was put in touch with Ze Mig L. I'm rather glad it happened as today's Bleep is an epic slab of Techno and it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for those guys urging him to get in touch.

Ze Mig L has been releasing records for over a decade now and if you want to know about that aspect of the fellow then you can't go wrong by checking out Discogs. If you just want to go on to the Bleep show then by all means, please do...

I met 'Little Liquidize' last year via Myspace. Yes, Myspace is actually handy once in a while. I checked out a few of her broken beat Techno sets and offered her a Bleep spot right away. Flash forward to about 2 weeks ago when the guest mix finally arrived courtesy of a mutual friend (Marcin M.).

Today being 3-03 is the driving force behind the Acid House theme in this week's Bleep Radio show. I would have missed that small coincidence entirely if it wasn't for Malcolm noticing it and bringing it to my attention some 2-3 months ago.

Acid is what snared me and began my interest in electronic music. My very first experience with it was on a local radio station back in the 90's called "Energy 108". On that station Richie Hawtin's old "Transmissions" radio series was aired and Terry Mullan was the first show in that series I caught. To this day I still appreciate it. It was shortly after that I began finding my way to parties in Toronto to check this stuff out first hand.

And now we're all here. Bleep bleep.

I was a little hurried this week. being buffeted around on various shifts within one week, plus sick people at home made it more difficult than normal to make time to record a set. I still managed of course, but I feel it lacks the cohesion I would prefer. I think you can pick up on it with the sudden changes throughout. You can almost sense the panic as I frantically flip through piles looking for something --anything!-- that will fit with what's currently running out of groove...

I mentioned last week that I had meant to record something a little harder than what I did. This week's Bleep is what I intended to air last week with the only problem being I hadn't actually recorded it. Now that this fun assortment of beats, breaks and clanks has been lined up the only thing left to do is enjoy it.

I sat down this week with the intent of recording something hard, dirty and full of metallic clanks. That didn't pan out. What I ended up doing was something much more House oriented with only a couple harder tracks. No regrets, there's always next week.

This week was very close to having no show. Because it was right up to the wire, I've got not a lot to say. It chugs where it needs to and actually has a part I can't stand hearing. It involves a mistake. Re-recording the mix is not my style though so y'all get it warts and all.

Apparently without any provocation I've begun digging into Chicagoan stuff. I don't know what spurred it on, but I've been digging up some stuff recently and tossing it in. What's more noticeable however is the break-beat breakdown filling the second half. I guess some good stuff has come out that needed to be played.

Mike has been one of the most frequent and steady (over the long term) contributors to Bleep Radio. It's been 41 episodes since his last mix and he feels as if this mix is his best Bleep Radio to date.
