Unlucky for some, Episode 13 features a lot of old Chicago house, mostly of the acid variety, plus some Detroit techno and some electro from wherever.
When I heard the first half hour and it was all Electro I began to think the whole show would be and was very excited about it. When the Electro began to peter out I wasn't crushed as it was replaced with stuff that was still as good Chicagoan and Detroit; my first two discoveries in the realm of Electronic!
I'm a wee bit behind the times sometimes - I just noticed that the Dead Channel crew over in Leeds in the UK have upgraded and rejigged their website; apparently they did this a couple of weeks ago.
It's still got all the free LPs to download from Ant Orange, Chris Kubex, Wobble & Dubb, Noisepsalm, Micoland, Gwylo, Naffdogg, and some completely hack geezer named Little Nobody.
They say "All our releases are now fully streamable, every track from every album, so you can be sure you're spending your hard-earned bandwidth on quality music.
"This has been a more frantic effort than most DC projects, due to work/life commitments (yawn). Please send any bug reports, problems (or glittering praise) to ant[at]smoothandfresh[dot]com."
A recorded BeNi mix doesn't see the light of day too often. A recording of BeNi playing out live happens even less often. Something must have aligned because what we have here is a live recording Club SO 36 in Berlin.Te set was 3am to 7am, but he's only decided to share this wee 2 hour chunk of it. Enjoy!

There was no real master plan behind this week's Bleep. Which is really how most week's are I guess. I did grab records from 'opposite ends of the shelves' this week. You'll probably figure out what that means with either a glance at the tracklist or an initial listen. Oddly enough I'm happier with the transition in the middle than the NDK/Magic feet mix which should have been easier (easier in that those two records perhaps shouldn't have met in that way ;)).

Well, here's something completely different, mates - I'm going to scale a shaky soapbox here and attempt to blow my own tuneless trumpet, this time though not exactly musically-related.
I mean there's definitely reference to muzak thrown into the mix, but it's not an EP, an LP, a compilation, a tape, or even an interview with someone else vaguely creative in the aural sense.
See, the big news for me (personally in other words) this month is that my novel, Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat, is finally starting to emerge from its 18-month sub-editing moth-balled purgatory...
The first 2 chapters are now online as a bit of a freebie teaser HERE.
What's it all about? God, I dunno - my editor Kristopher reckons it's "Sort of... well, indescribable, really -- noir-ish, subtly sci-fi, hard boiled, futuristic. Think Blade Runner with a touch of Sam Spade, a smattering of Orson Welles circa Touch of Evil, or better yet, The Third Man. And a shot of some good bourbon."
I think he captures the intent better than I'd ever hope to, and he definitely puts it way nicer than I'd feel happy to slap about in these parts - so big cheers in his direction.
It's finally going to be published in paperback form in 2010... thank bloody god. The people running with it are this way cool, semi-punk publisher in the U.S. called Another Sky Press and I love 'em to death. They've become mates and almost family over the course of the past 540-odd days of fine-tuning!
Anyway, enough blabbering. If anyone here ever gets time, have a peek, download the free long-winded PDF, and I hope to hell you actually dig the beast. If not, well that's cool too.
Whenever I do an Electro mix I try to keep it fresh. I try to make sure it contains tracks I haven't used in previous Electro mixes. Electro mixes around these parts are also made for a particular person (My wife, Sylvia) as she digs em. Who am I to argue. Enjoy her taste.

For Bleep 185 I've managed to throw together a mix of new stuff coupled with some of the older stuff I've mentioned on the site of late. I'm not so happy with the transition after the fact, but I don't do do-overs so I'll have to live with it. It's probably just my imagination anyway.
