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: 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…

Mix: Terrahertz – Haole Nyahbinghi
The last mix I released under my Terrahertz alias, Haole Nyahbinghi came together so quickly that I still associate it with a particular time and place. In the summer of 2004 when I was putting this together, I lived across the street from a large antebellum cemetery in Baltimore. I would take breaks from this…

Mix: Terrahertz – Ready, Set, Data!
Another 2003 mix that I originally released in 2004, Ready, Set, Data! has been remastered for 2022. Download it here. Tracklist:
