EMB 130 - Billy Pfeiffer
March 26, 2013 06:59 PM PDT
Drum and Bass Billy Pfeiffer - NYC Soundcloud DJ Billy Pfeiffer has been a long time contributor to Electronic Muscle Bears and while his first love is house, he’s put together some new drum and bass for this edition. Billy began mixing records during the heyday of Chicago House in the late 80's. A fixture in NYC since the early 90's, Billy currently throws his occasional Body Rock party as well as DJ's the legendary Sunday Beer Blast at Rockbar NYC. "Flow", Integration Now

HOUSE Lady Blacktronika In 1997 she hooked up with dj friend Mattski who gave her first taste of music production doing vocals on numerous unreleased house tracks with him. Frustrated with "the boys not letting [her] play with their toys" she began trying her hand at house music and techno production in 2006, producing Beatdown tracks inspired by such Detroit greats as Theo Parrish, Moodymann, and Norma Jean Bell.

TECHNO Da Bassbreaker - New York A Frenchman who recently immigrated to the United States, Arnaud aka "Da Bassbreaker" was born in the 70s and raised to the sounds of Moroder and Jarre. So when house, techno, new beat invaded the European underground dance scene in the early 90s, he naturally joined the movement. Inspired by pioneers like DJ Laurent Garnier or Derrick May who followed all the ramifications electronic music was creating, Da Bassbreaker has remained committed to embrace the whole spectrum of electronic and dance music, regardless of tags and genres. His mixes often blend deep house into noisy techno, a sort of métissage culturel between Chicago, Detroit, Berlin, London, New York and Paris. Tracks:

Tech/Deep House Chipmint - San Francisco DJ ChipMint - Nomad. Dancer. Lover. After hearing "Tardy for the Party" by Kim Zolciak for the first time, DJ ChipMint (Kevin O'Connor) realized that literally anyone can do this shit if they put in the effort. While he (she?) didn't have a childhood, ChipMint has always eaten music. Whether you are getting down to his dark grooves at his Summer party in Ptown, or popping your panties out at one of his off-season encounters, he just wants to see you dance. Making noise for himself as a DJ, with music production in the works, this silly man will blow your brains out all over the dance floor, and he thanks plenty of gods that he doesn't have to clean it up. ChipMint can be seen giging his brains out in San Francisco (Oh!, BCW, Stank, etc.) this Winter and Spring and in Provincetown in the Summer, with forays to LA, Toronto (Shout out to Cub Camp!), and NYC imminent, and many other destinations in the works! Keep up with him on his Facebook page. Go on, friend him, it might hurt, but you like that sort of thing probably. EMB 126 - Wes Baggaley
January 22, 2013 09:58 AM PST
House & Techno Wes Baggaley - London, UK Wes started collecting music at a very young age. He got his first record player when he was six years old and started collecting ex jukebox 7” singles with his 50p a week pocket money. After a brief flirtation with thrash metal he started to frequent the legendary Wigan Pier in his home town of Wigan in 1991 (he was underage I might add!). It was all rave and piano house at the Pier back then and he was bitten by the rave bug. In 1995 he went to Back to Basics in Leeds for a friend’s birthday. Some dj he’d never heard of called Derrick Carter was playing. He was playing proper house music, techno and disco mixed together. Wes hadn’t heard anyone dj this was before and soon started to obsessively try to get to every Derrick Carter gig in the UK and discovered other djs like playing different kinds of electronic dance music and started to track down the names of the tracks and collect mix tapes and 12” singles. Wes finally bought a pair of Technics 1210’s and a mixer in 2010. He now lived in Manchester and had built up quite a collection of vinyl from hanging around the record shops of Oldham Street on a daily basis. He got his first gig in September 2001 (1 week after buying the decks)at the newly opened (and now sadly closed) Legends Nightclub. After a drunken conversation with the manager on a Friday night (that Wes couldn’t remember) he got a phone call on the Saturday asking him to play that night. Wes wasn’t going to let the small detail of not being able to mix get in the way. He must have done something right because he became the weekly resident for the next four years where he developed his mixing skills and his style of deep house, techno and whatever else he felt like playing J. He played got booked for various other gigs in Manchester at the Attic, Paradise Factory, the Deaf Institute and became a resident for the monthly Terrorist night before moving to London in 2010. Since moving to London Wes has played at Megawoof, Dalston Boys Club, Area, Union and has a quarterly residency at Vogue Fabrics and is a resident at the Recon Parties. He has also been a guest on Proton Radio. Track List:
EMB 125 - Boyshapedbox
November 24, 2012 06:50 PM PST
House Boyshapedbox - San Francisco, CA Growing up, if you wanted to find Dicky (boyshapedbox) at a Rave, all you had to do was check out the DJ booth. Errrr….next to the DJ booth. Studying which knobs were being tweaked and when the needle was getting dropped, he slowly worked out the basics of how to spin records and the seeds of mixing music were planted. Trouble was he didn't have any equipment. Or money. Flash forward 10 years, he moved to San Francisco, was thrown behind turntables for a monthly party at The Transfer (RIP), and was officially bitten by the DJ bug; getting residencies at KumaSF, BootieSF, and Bearracuda, and traveling all over the country playing parties. He loves Bass House, Deep House, Tech House, Mashups, and Techno; anything as long as it's bassy and gets people moving. Q-Tip - "Work It Out (Disclosure Booty Call Edit)": First of all I wanted to start this off with a bang, and Q-Tip's flow over this baseline is nothing short of brilliant. Disclosure has been on the top of my list of "most watched artists this year" and I am consistently blown away by their sound. De Contrebande - "Circle Circle Dot Dot (Original Mix)": This mix was very much about bass lines for me and this track's bass line does not disappoint. Grindy and Warbly, it plays really way with the rhythm of the vocals. Plus there is something ridiculously fun about dancing to a song that has lyrics taken from my playground days. Hannah Wants & Lorenzo - "Oochie Bang": If you haven't heard Nas's track "Oochie Walley" (where the sample is taken from) then you haven't heard what I think is quite possibly the filthiest, raunchiest, dirtiest rap song ever mad. Hannah Wants was also up there on my "most watched artists this year." Check out some of her promo mixes for some really great Bass House. DJ Funk, Zombie Disco Squad - "Twerk (Original Mix)": This track is a nod to my Raver days back in CT growing up and going to see DJ Funk's Ghetto Booty House sets with my friends. He was a lanky skinny-ass DJ back then with some B-squad razor-burn strippers he toured with, but MAN did he tear it up. White Label - "Flipmode!": I wish I knew who did this track (if you know email me!). WHO DOESN'T LOVE BUSTA RHYMES?! 1998 ya'll! His double time, syncopated lyrical rhythms puts him years ahead of other rappers IMO. Disclosure - "What's In Your Head (Mak & Pasteman Remix)": I wanted to include another Disclosure track, this time a remix by the very talented Mak & Pasteman to show just how versatile their sound is. That choppy vocal gets stuck in my head so bad and I end up singing it and looking like a crazy person. Michael Woods feat. Ester Dean - "We've Only Just Begun (Gorgon City Remix)": If you haven't heard of "Gorgon City," the collaboration project of producers Foamo and RackNRuin, then run don't walk to their soundcloud. Bass House at it's finest. The build up's and drops in this remix are gorgeous. Pasteman, Herobot - "Off The Chain (Original Mix)": I love 3 things: Broken beats, dirty girl vocalists, and the phrases "That's Off The Chain like me" "You don't know nann ho" and "He all over there smelling' like boonk and Hennassey and shit." Deep City Groove - "Police Brutality (Dale Howard's Brutal Mix)": I always try and include a track that really speaks to the children about real life. Just kidding. I just really love this bouncy beat that's Dale Howard's signature sound. Kind of a 90's House Party sound updated for today. That's the movement I'm a part of. Justin Martin - "Don't Go (Dusky Remix)": Under Disclosure and Hannah Wants on my "most watched artists this year" is Dusky. Haunting reverbed vocals and harp samples mixed with a bouncy bass line. Yes please! Check out his album "Stick By This" for more deliciousness. Disclosure - "Tenderly (Original Mix)": Am I breaking DJ rules by putting the same artist 3 times in the same mix? Well, I don't care. Disclosure is FANTASTIC. Plus this is the original mix of theirs and the other two are a remix they did, and a remix of one of their tracks done by someone else. UGH! BACK OFF! I DO WHAT I WANT! Orbital - "Wonky (CSY & Stripes Remix)": Growing up, Orbital was one of the first electronic artists I saw live and I was BLOWN AWAY. Wonky is their latest single after a long break and CSY & Stripes do a great job molding it into a something very bouncy and fun to dance to. Julio Bashmore - "Battle For Middle You (Original Mix)": And finally, to close it out, Battle For Middle You. MAN this track is so good. I heard it for the first time at a neighborhood party at Burning Man and it blew my mind! That sub-bass line shook my entire body (thank you Camp Conception!)

MIXED TAPE Joe Armenia - San Francisco Joe Armenia (sometimes known as Joe To Hell) is not a DJ. He is, however, someone with impeccable and extremely diverse musical taste. Because he has no talent of his own, Joe started a career in the music industry twenty years ago to exploit the talents of others. Joe books the main stage at Folsom Street Fair, which featured Little Boots, Ladyhawke, Hi Fashion and more in 2012. Follow him on Rdio, where his playlists make absolutely NO sense - rdio.com/people/joearmenia. Joe is a bad Twitterer, but is there anyway @joetohell. When Joe grows up, he wants to be Sonja Morgan. TRACK LIST: A Step In the Right Direction - Onuinu I’m obsessed with this guy’s whole record, but this song the most. It all sounds like he recorded it in his closet, which is where he should hide now that I know what he looks like Take My Pain Away - Moullinex I know this guy from his work with my lady Peaches. Besides the fact that he is named after a kitchen appliance, this song is so catchy and DARE you to get it out of your head. The kind of jam you can shower and suds (don’t slip) September (Punks Jump Up Mix) - St. Lucia I am on the fence with St. Lucia overall, because he sounds like Peter Cetera, but when you put PJU in charge of a remix, it’s all different. It’s delish. Fog Of War (Baio Remix) - Young Dreams I had no idea Scott Baio remixed anything. A current favorite in rotation for me. Let It Go (feat Shaun J Wright) - Stereogamous Am I allowed to have this song? The world deserves to hear it already. It’s a masterpiece and makes me happy. One o Six (A.N.D.Y. Remix) - Jupiter This is a great song to make out to. Eventually the hips will gyrate and a full dryhump will commence. Trust. Across The Sky - Urulu I dunno why it took me so long to find this. Almost wallpaper music, and it’s a loop of the same thing over and over but I’m all about it. Friends (Beni Remix) - Sneaky Sound System I have been on an Australian rampage musically. Beni is a sexy man, so he could remix my morning shit and it would be heavenly to me. But I like how he altered the vocals to make it sound like a tranny. That’s art. Infinity - Infinity Ink There is something familaiar (read: unoriginal) about this. But that’s pretty much like me. It feels good in a Late Night Tales way….like one more martini and you will either get some or pass out. Fuck Off Berlin - The Young Professionals These Frenchies have been on the radar for a year or so, and I considered them for Folsom Street Fair this year. It’s my fave track off the full length album. Nobody Rules The Streets - Brodinski I have created a whole performance/drag routine/music video to this in my head. I play at least 5 characters. It's kinda hot. I perform it whilst making dinner alone. Climbing Walls (Van She Remix) - Strange Talk Another Aussie funpak. It’s pretty similar to the original. I wanted to put a Van She track on here, but in the interest of time, I combined both of them into one. I've Got Your Music (Golden Filter Remix) - Saint Etienne Two great tastes – Saint Etienne and Golden Filter. Not much else to say. Flaws (Walter Sobcek Remix) - Bastille Ever hear a song and think, “If I could only sing, I’d want to sound just like this guy”. Well, for me it’s Bastille….that voice is sexy and rough and British. The original isn’t much of a dance track, as his other stuff is, but this feels airy. Princess Beatrice Royal - Hat Muscles I love this guy. He is also Australian and he makes whatever music he wants. This track is just dumb but it’s fun. Again, like me. Everybody (Full Extended Mix) - Madonna Was I really going to not insert my queen? I thought it too obvious. But this track just celebrated it’s 30th birthday. Besides making me feel old, it can’t be denied that this track launched a career that launched a thousand other careers that impact a lot of what we listen to. “Feel the beat, and step inside”…that’s what it’s all about. So eat it. EMB 123 - stereogamous deviants promo mix

MIXED TAPE EMB 122 - DJ BRD (Donovan Whitehurst) Intro: A little about me: I’m originally from San Diego, a San Francisco resident since 1999, and I have a little secret. I’m pretty new to DJing (aside from a 2-year college radio stint in the mid-90s), having played my first live set at a Palm Springs leather bar the night before the Coachella Music Festival in 2001. That night, I played a mix of indie-alternative rock and dance music, and it went over well enough that I was asked to play another event, and from there, was asked to start playing locally in San Francisco. Nowadays I host a monthly night at the Lone Star Saloon in San Francisco called REDDROXX, where I play a few styles of music not dissimilar to what you’ll hear here on this EMB mix tape. I like a lot of different kinds of music (my motto is, ‘if it has soul, I’ll probably like it&rsquo The tracklist:

Starting out with vinyl, moving to cds and finally landing his own gear and now controls traktor pro with an apc20. Refusing to be called a "dj" as he doesnt jockey any actual discs but prefers to call what he does "playing other peoples music in a sequence that may or may not be pleasing to the ear." Mixes are typically on the fly experimentations of genre mixing and bending. This mix presented here "GPOY" is a current capture of what im really into at the moment. Trap, moombahton, old school hip hop and whatever weirdness i can fit into all that.

MIXED TAPE
Ryan Crowder - San Francisco
Ryan Crowder is a San Francisco dweller and music gobbler. Sometimes he plays parties, and releases a series of mixes each year highlighting the newest and gooiest of what musicians have to offer. He's in love with SF's local queer art performance and drag scenes, comic culture, has been known to pat a couple bear bellies and digs any op for music and dancing. He is also an avid crocheter and seamster, and enjoys making things and stuff. Lots of times he shares his music dreams and nightmares through "the social media". He can be found on Twitter (@Crowderism) or at Sissboombah.tumblr.com. Intro: I like pop music. But I like pop music that is a little more complicated than to be expected. Tho I admit its not that surprising how much i like synthpop in its many forms, but I don't claim to be highbrow. In addition to normal dancing I also enjoy sit dancing. Mellow things that just flow along are really nice too. I am sort of perpetually attracted to the catchy hook and can't deny how much pleasure it give me. So I went with that. While listening to this mix tape I've made you, imagine us dancing to this stuff. It could be a fun time no? Or if you prefer, maybe we could just hang out and laugh around a table with some besties with this on. The 80s can be irresistible and I think you will find sounds based in high energy pop of that decade shaped this mix. Personally, this is a mix I like bringing with me on walk around the city. It turned out to be a lot about risky lovin', I don't really see how that happened. But here ya go! TRACKLIST: 1. Margaret Berger - 4-E.V.E.R L.O.V.E
Ms. Berger came out of nowhere for me. She carries the pop torch well tho don't you think? I also like when people spell things in songs.
2. Those Dancing Days - I'll Be Yours From the latest album by these Swedish young ladies. I like the genre combo package they serve up as they earnestly pop out their feelings.
3. Toro y Moi - Sweet Ride the chill wave of Chazwick Bundick (yes that is his amazing name). Off a nice EP earlier this year.
4. Queen of Hearts - Shoot the Bullet
This is totally the track I am in love with at the moment. I imagine a lot of pronounced hip back and forth happening whenever I listen. I also like to mouth the words in front of a mirror.
5. Bronski Beat - Why?
I just love how this song starts. This is one of my fave albums and its one that mucho younger folk have surprisingly never heard of. Jimmy Somerville's queer political messaging just does it for me ok?
6. Warpaint - Krimson
Another all lady band who bring it. Their tracks build and change up in the most satisfying of ways. Solid live show that makes one feel things.
7. Active Child - Hanging On
Epic emotional realness realized. And can you sing like this guy? If you can please send me a voice note as I would really like to hear this.
8. Rimer London - Love Dagger
Amsterdam based dude who likes some discoey electronic pop. I enjoy the booping.
9. Spank Rock (w/ Santigold) - Car Song
I like them. I like her. I want them to be my friends maybe. I find this really fucking fun.
10. Michael Sembello - Automatic Man
Dude who wrote the hit Maniac. I know, you never would have guessed! It sounds so different! Bite into the cheese, hold onto it and don’t let go.
11. Zeigeist - Fight With Shattered Mirrors
Arty electro pop band of the mid-aughts. I wish I could have seen one of their art heavy live sets. But no worries, I am fine listening to this and the sharp dance moves that result from the chorus.
12. The Cardigans - Fine
I felt like I needed some god damned indie pop on this mix or I was gonna feel queasy. Who doesn't like this breezy tune?
13. Class Actress - Keep You
Another newish catchy pop gem of a song. It's chorus suction cups to your brain.
14. Phantogram - Don't Move
Phantogram’s latest has been a really great listen over the last couple months. I know it caught fire on the internets, but this song is so good regardless of how much I think about listening to Beach House while it is on.
15. MEN - Who Am I to Feel So Free (feat. Antony)
Vocals from Antony on a track representing queer political poppy dance music of the the timez.
16. SSION - LUVVBAZAAR
A man that owned my heart this year. Queer sexy get down portion of mix engage.
17. Jenny Wilson - Love Ain't Just a Four Letter Word
A lot of peeps may not know her, but they should. Well I guess her stint providing some vocals for the Knife's most popular track got her some attention. But still... her lyrics are awesome.

Deep House Luke Williams - San Francisco We haven't met? That's probably because I spent the last year hidden in an office, running Claude VonStroke's record labels; dirtybird and mothership. I was going to school full time and I was trying to keep my partner who has to live and put up with me. I wasn't out much beyond the label events. When you're asked what kind of music influences your taste or sound, it's a hard thing to answer. I do like big, jackin' bass lines, but it really depends on the mood or setting that you're in, right? I like quite a range of music, so this is just a chance to shine light on a part of it. So, it flows, and it has just enough bass to keep it curious. Think change of seasons. I hope you enjoy it.

House, Tech House DJ Dandylion - Brooklyn, New York http://www.spintuition.com I'm struck by the vulnerability of modern music. Either it's so classic it hurts or played out--until it hurts. Old and new are measured in time release. While putting playlists together in sound designing there has cultivated a cross-section of reference points, from deep soul to techno, vintage rock to the undefinable, from the infinite disco to the infinitesimal. Beyond genre is connection. To me dancing exemplifies what my body defies...the realization of movement. Every breakthrough in sound design moves me to listen. With a determination to relate a community of dancers, listeners, and producers, there is sought an active appreciation of a single audiophile and his spintuitive craft. It started with humble beginnings from around 20 years ago while traveling and dancing the West Coast, Tennessee, & Hawai'i, wild outdoor gatherings and dj parties. Growing up in California immersed me in timeless R&B, early hip hop, and synth heavy New Wave. San Francisco and Portland, OR were home to self-taught, teeth-cutting, small-scale party throwing; including Spintuition (SF) and Vas-o-line (PDX) then eventually Coinslot (NYC) leading to a current residency so called Marinate, at Easternbloc in New York City, with the party's one-year anniversary in September. Being an active member and supporter of the artist/performance community, I strive to enliven dancefloors and multifaceted soundtracks. This is a live studio mix from home in Brooklyn. Track List: Contact DJ Dandylion for track inquiries.

House Subwoofer - Rome,Italy "Bear Pride is Body Pride" Mixed by Hugo Sanchez Since 6 years and more, SUBWOOFER spins the wildest/sexy/dirty electronic music for bears, their admirers and the frikiest phags. Aur aim is to push further ahead the bear community taking inspiration to the dance and club culture, visual research and freaky networking. We organize regular parties and special events, in ROME, in ITALY and all around the globe. soundcloud.com/subwoofer-bears-roma DJ HUGO SANCHEZ SUBWOOFER resident DJ and promoter Hugo Sanchez is a multidimensional explorer of the musicsphere, which he tirelessly roams as a DJ, musician, producer and promoter. His experience as a DJ starts with the memorable Roman club night AGATHA, and goes on with COQ MADAME, the first queer party in Rome, which Señor Sanchez started in 2000. For three years now has been organising and producing DISCOLOOSER$, a connoisseur night hopelessly devoted to the incredibly strange world of disco music. Besides DISCOLOOSER$ and SUBWOOFER, Sanchez, in association with the illustrious analogue poet Rodion, is presently producer of ROCCODISCO, an independent record label dedicated to dance music and avant-garde electronics. Again with Rodion, he is one half of ALIEN ALIEN, a duo producing a sort of gloomy, evil house music. Nicknamed "El Tremendizmo", Hugo Sanchez mixes his various influences into a very peculiar and bizzarre style, halfway between electropop and outrageously erotic techno-house, with a lethal dose of funk spread all over. He named himself after a famous Mexican football player who used to paw his team-mate butts every time he scored a goal. Track List: David August - Moving Day Tom Neville - Run In Reverse Dannis Ferrer - The Red Room Swiell - Absentium Green Velvet - La La Land (Pleasurekraft remix) Alfred Heinrichs - I Don't Know (Sascha Braeme Remix) Flavio Diaz - Blue Max Bett - Mad Clinic Savage Skulls with Sprinkle Juice & Tony Senghore - Caravan Acidkids - Bloom Mr. Blink - Gecko Kink - Don't Hold Back Bingo Players - Get On The Move Crookers & Roisin Murphy - Royal T (Rivastarr Remix) Mark Broom - Supersnout Leaether Strip - The Bears Aren't Sleeping Tonight (Hugo Sanchez Remix)

House, Deep House, Tech jamie o'sullivan - Portland, Maine http://www.mixcloud.com/jamieosullivan/ I have only been djing for a short while. About 6 years. I Currently host and dj(with guests) a monthly party called LOVE. A deep house, tech house and deep techno party at Flask Lounge in Portland, ME. The first party I had was called Laptop Lounge. Along with my friend Sean Carroll (a huge source of my music) we played an eclectic mix one Thurs. every other month at the Whiteheart in Portland. It lasted for about 3 years. I have, however, had 36 solid years of life on this planet and have been inspired by music right from the get go. Like a lot of kids growing up in the 80’s I was into rap music, break dancing, graffiti and skateboarding. While in the experimental high school years I was open to all kinds of new things. In 1991, Rave had just hit Maine and after my first, that was it. I continued to go to raves all over New England into the mid 90’s. Even hitting some in the Northwest while in college in Olympia, WA. Towards the end of the 90’s I met a dj/ dancer who became my boyfriend for 4 years. He had an enormous record collection and I got quite the history lesson in disco, house, and techno. He and I spent A LOT of time going dancing. We had friends in NYC and hit up Body and Soul as much as we could. Through those years I got to see how this music and culture was SO much more than just the Rave scene. Watching some of those NYC dancers just blew my mind!! After our time together I continued to seek out music and dancing. My djing is a natural progression of my life. It HAD to happen. I had been listening to this music for so long, songs mixed all by themselves in my head. I love it with all my heart and hope you enjoy this mix……some new stuff I’m into with a few old favorites. -jamie o’sullivan Track List: 1. Folklore- Divine Interface 2.

MIXED TAPE Scott Moore (Limp Wrist) - San Francisco This is not about me. This is about music. Well, I guess that it is about me, since I selected Track List: -Brat – “Attitude” (L.A. 1980) Catchy East L.A. Latina punk tunes and an amazing voice. I saw them a few years ago and she still sounded great. -The Comes – “Panic” (Japan 1983) The Japanese have a way of ingesting music and spitting it back out with so much more intensity. -GG Allen and the Jabbers – “Don’t Talk to Me” (New Hampshire 1980) He was an awful piece of human trash who did wretched things to women and smeared shit on himself. Unfortunately, his first few records were masterpieces. -The Dicks – “Young Boys Feet” (Texas 1983) Gary Floyd singing about molesting little boys feet in a shoe store. -Germs – “Land of Treason” (Los Angeles 1980) It was hard to pick one Germs song to play. -Feederz – “Jesus Entering From the Rear” (Arizona 1984) Offensive and catchy. The Feederz Do You Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss? LP is a classic. -Jay Reatard – “My Shadow” (Memphis, TN 2006) Jay Reatard was a prolific musician who died early. The Blood Visions LP was his take on the Adverts, but with a more aggressive recording and hyper songwriting style. -Adverts – “Male Assault” (UK 1979) A creepy little number off of their second LP. -Wire – “Outdoor Miner” (UK 1978) Another band that it was hard to choose which track to play. I love the melodies in this one. -Masshysteri – “Beskjunta” (Sweden 2010) Their LP was a favorite of mine from last year. This is my favorite track. I think it is the mood that the keyboard line sets in the background that always makes this one stick out. -Crisis – “Alienation” (UK 1981) Crisis was the left wing punk band that Douglas P. and Tony Wakeford were in before they started Death in June. Douglas P. still does DIJ and Tony Wakeford turned into a fat nazi piece of shit. -A Touch of Hysteria – “The Rules” (UK 1983) This was recorded in 1983 and the band only released it on a demo cassette and it was released on vinyl in 2006. The drummer, who went on to be in Lush and Hard Skin, committed suicide in 1996. This is a stranded on a dessert island record for me. -The Mob – “Mirror Breaks” (UK 1983) The Mob are a personal favorite. The lyrics, music, and graphics were perfectly crafted to paint a bleak story of life in a capitalist society without sounding dogmatic or impersonal. This is the A side of their last single. -Specters – “Stasi” (Canada, 2010) A little Joy Division, a little bit of The Mob…a very good LP. -Dezerter – “Co Oni Nam Dają?” (Poland, 1989) Dezerter are still an active band today. They operated while Eastern Europe was under strict communist rule. Many of the bands from this time had records on what i believe are state run labels such as Polton, Tonpres, and Arston. All profanities where erased from the records with a very loud "bleeeeep". This track has a really mechanical sound that seems very indicative of the world in which they lived. -Oppenheimer Analysis – “Cold War” (UK 1982) Minimal Wave is a record label in NYC that specializes in putting out high quality vinyl releases of home-recorded synth bands from the late 1970’s and early 80’s. Most of which had previously only been released on cassette. I love how catchy and dance-y this is while at the same time sounding totally cold and unaffected. -Turquoise Days – “Visions Blurred” (Channel Islands 1981) Another Minimal Wave release. The synth and guitar lines…the chorus…I love this song. -Eleven Pond – “Watching Trees” (Rochester. NY 1986) San Francisco label, Dark Entries, who specializes in releasing 80’s underground synth and post-punk recordings as well as contemporary bands of the same style, re-released this bands LP. You should be swaying around your room instead of reading right now. -Thomas Leer – “Private Plane” (Scotland 1979) Carried by a motorik beat and a percussive bass line, the airy keyboards flow through this to create a driving track. -Chrome – “Abstract Nymphoid” (SF 1979) One of the most interesting bands to come out of San Francisco in the early ’80s. Total weirdo alien psychedelic electronic punk. -Sonic Youth – “Swimsuit Issue” (NYC 1993) Kim Gordon’s feminist anthem that is written from the perspective of a female employee of Geffen Records, the bands label at the time, who has been sexually harassed by her boss. The music is aggressive, noise driven, and perfectly matches the ugly subject matter. "I'm not giving you head in a Sunset bungalow." -Fastbacks – “No Lethal Hope” (Seattle, 1982) This band made some really catchy songs that get stuck in my head whenever I hear them. The guitar interplay catches my attention every time. -Jesus and Mary Chain – “Inside Me” (Scotland 1985) I am not really sure how this band got signed to a major label in 1985. So much feedback! -Lebenden Toten – “Near Dark” (Portland, OR 2008) Lebenden Toten are my favorite active band. Total distorted noise guitar carried by solid bass and drums that create a rhythmic danceable punk tunes. Noise and Message EMB 82 - Dr. Sleep

Artist Mix Gunfighter Nation - Oakland, California Gunfighter Nation--GFN--is a wild summation of the experiences of its founders, Scott and Martin. Setting out to write a new chapter in the intertwining sagas of psychedelic and techno, GFN drives hard grooves and deep polyrhythmic beats into sonic explorations intended to liberate headphone jockeys and dance-floor denizens alike. Influenced by their shared California upbringing, Scott and Martin believe that the West still means something—a spirit of independence, rugged experiences, and a desire to push boundaries. GFN taps into the roots of our generation to dig deep and deliver up sounds informed by the past but with sights always set on the road ahead. We waved, we raved, we rocked. GFN have recently brought their special brand of super-hot-electro-psychedelic-techno to live venues in the San Francisco Bay Area. They’ll be performing more soon, so do check them out, as GFN’s musical morsels are best served live. Peace, and be good to one another. Track List: (All tracks by Gunfighter Nation)

MIXED TAPE Tim Strong (Hard French, Dial UP) Tim Strong likes to throw crazy parties like Hard French and Dial Up. He's not sure if he could stop dancing because he has never tried.
Tracks:
Touch me I’m going to Scream part 2 - My Morning Jacket
There’s a certain point in this song where if you don’t already have it turned all the way up you’re going to wish that you did. It’s the perfect track for your late night, moldy basement, scary banshee Halloween party. Is banshee an offensive term in this context? If so, I apologize. Darwin - Bicep
Synthesizers, piano, pretty singing lady.
Stand by Me Lord - The Horses Gospel AND house music? I’m a total sucker for both and this shit gets real special.
I’ll Take Care of You - Gil Scott-Heron It might come across as though Gil is singing this song to a stranger in a bar but I’m pretty sure he’s singing it to anyone who thinks that he might be. Everything is going to be OK and Jamie xx wants you to dance about it. Yearning - Black Van You Gave me Love - Crown Heights Affair Everywhere - Fleetwood Mac We Have Been Waiting You - Pional You Can Dance - Chilly Gonzales Skydiver - Neon
