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...

JE5 has contributed the latest Signals mix and the tracklist is a whopper! It's a mix of Techno the likes isn't seen too often. It moves from strength to strength and will undoubtedly get some big numbers.

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.).

Mark Hawkins has put together another set under his ### moniker. It looks like it spans a good chunk of time and styles and will probably benefit anyone who needs a Techno set to listen to while sitting in the sun.

I had mentioned the Luke's Anger set plus interview over at the Fenchurch site without realizing that there were even more goodies sitting there right beneath my nose. Debasser, Michael Forshaw and Ben Pest, alongside some others as well, but those are the ones I'm grabbing.

Not exactly full length sets it seems, but even 20 minutes of mostly new Ben Pest was enough to make my day.

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.

Scott Robinson has been popping his nose up in places lately. The latest of which is Mark's Singals From Southwark podcast. It's a live set so there's no tracklist supplied and apparently it's similar in content to a recent Berlin set Scott played. Check 'er out.

Episode 16 teaches us all about Freestyle or 'Latin Hip Hop'. I've always been partial to the Freestyle/Break-dance cross-overs as I'm sure you're aware from some of my Electro etc. mixes. I've never bothered to make up a complete mix of it though so this episode will probably get lots of at home in the living room air time. The last bit of the sow is Detroit themed, but really there are parallels between Ed's Detroit drawn tracks and the Freestyle in the first half. Remove the vocals and shuffle the beats differently and you've got similar stuff.

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...

Mark must be back from his tropical vacation. Hawaii must have left him in a good mood and itching to record a new mix since it seems it was the first he did upon his return!
