Mix: The Incredible Superstring Band – Funk de l’Automne
Here are some funky electro-tech party jams from many different eras I put together in the Fall of 2023. 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s all represented. I had a lot of fun with my Roland DJ 202 sequencing a bunch of possibilities while I put together my “crate,” but ultimately mixed it in Sonic Foundry Acid…

Mix: The Incredible Superstring Band – Gamut
For the second Incredible Superstring Band mix I wanted to continue on the weird trend I’d started with the first one. What better way to get there than opening up with Pantera? And Ministry?? And then flip the whole script at the halfway point by veering off into weird bubblegum techno/gabber/I don’t even know. There…

Mix: The Incredible Superstring Band – Be The Change You Wish To See In The World
Here lies the very first ISB mix. Yes, this opens up with the Airwolf theme, doubled in syncopation. From there it just gets weirder. When I adopted the new alias I wanted it to be clear I was ready to do new things. This spirit led me to such strange choices as including the C&C…

Mashup: Klute At Work – Overblitz
I don’t often make a mashup just to make one. Typically I have a full length mix in progress, and I craft a few mashup tracks with the intent to mix them with everything else. However, I was listening to Virgin Magnetic Material’s excellent remix of “Overkill” by Men at Work and it struck me…

Mix: Drawers – From An Angle You’ve Never Seen Before
The final Drawers mix I ever made, this one has a theme that you can probably identify within a single listen. There’s a ton of mashups. A bunch of Klute (still my favorite DNB producer). But somehow none of that is involved in my favorite track, which is “The Volume” by Shy Child, a criminally…

Mix: DJ Chase The Devil – Wizards Have Landed
This mix, named after a Bill Hicks bit, is the most mashup-heavy mix I’ve ever made. For a few moments around the 7 minute mark there are four tracks playing simultaneously in this July 2007 release. Several other mashups make an appearance. Eventually I’ll put together a complete mashup discography release. There are some fairly…

Mix: Drawers – Sabbath Mode
This one is all over the place in the way that I often hope things will turn out. The cadence of Chris Rock’s bit in the intro seems to align with the rhythm of Cut Chemist’s beat. AFX blends into Killing Joke and then into Boards of Canada. The beautiful alternate version of the Pixies’…

Mix: DJ Chase The Devil – The Only Winning Move Is Not To Play
After an introduction by everyone’s favorite integrative medicine guru, Dr. Andrew Weil, this mix starts out with a weirdly perfect pairing of Mike & Rich with Datassette. Somehow these two are perfectly in tune, and the effect is a strikingly smooth blend. This mix reminds me of the rainy days that frequently occurred as I…

Mix: Drawers – Aught Six Mix
Having decided to release under a new name, I thought one would be better than two, so Drawers became the alias for everything in the neighborhood of 170-ish DNB style, and DJ Chase The Devil would be the name for 130-ish electro style stuff. This is the first ‘Drawers’ mix I did, with much of…

Mix: DJ Chase The Devil – Flex and Preen
At some point I decided to retire the Terrahertz moniker in favor of a fresh start. “DJ Chase The Devil” was one of the names I picked as a replacement, a reference to a classic Reggae tune sung by Max Romeo and backed by Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s band The Upsetters. When I made and released…
