553 El-P

  El-Producto, aka Jaime Stuart Meline has been an unrelenting force in rap music for three decades.  I remember getting "Funcrusher Plus" when it came out and being instantly hooked, especially the DJ Premiere remix of "8 Steps to Perfection."  El-P's production work is no joke either, Cannibal Ox made me take notice of that.  Throughout the years my favorite of his works were his guest appearances, many of which are included here along with some productions and remixes.  His career was all leading up to Run The Jewels, which is a like a late career megaton bomb.  Amazing and shows he still has a lot of gas left in the tank.

552 The Confession of a Quiet Replica

Invigorated by finding Hrvatski's full catalog for "name your price" at bandcamp got me excited to revisit this era of Keith Fullterton Whitman's catalog.  I was also excited to find a bootleg copy of "Green Darkness vol 1" from MLTKK, I loved their music dearly up until their 3rd album.  I've slowly been trying to get into Oneohtrix Point Never and listen to UNKLE beyond their "Psyence Fiction" album.

551 The Remix According to Skylab

Took forever to do this one, due mostly to having so many remixes that I just didn't like.  Weeding through those showcased the style that I did like from them.  That style being the 94-96 period with Howie B as a member.   Those early tracks like "Seashell," "Next," and "Twister" brought a smile to my face.  Their work on "Offbeat - A Red Hot Sound Trip" was something really special, like the collaboration with My Bloody Valentine at their peak.  I picked up their single for "The Trip" and was very disappointed, never bought any future releases from them.  In my opinion, this shows the impact one member of a group can have.  I suppose it always was Mat Ducasse's group, and most of these remixes are from the post-Howie B era.

550 Threshold-exceeding password syntax

Born out of leftovers from the last mix, plus re-finding my Three Mile Pilot CDs, realizing the Oiseaux-Tempete title is from Hakim Bey, finding this Orchids remix via The Pastels, and hearing this Ocean Blue track on the radio and reminding myself that I used to like them back in the 90s.  The swirl of my thoughts all came together here.

549 Steps and Flashes of Music as a Drug

Time to get those dancing shoes on.  This is not entirely a funk mix, just some dance oriented music that isn't techno.  Seeing !!! perform in or around 2000 was certainly a highlight and a fun evening.  I still think their first self titled album was their peak.  Same with the related group OutHud, they were on a roll until they added vocals, just wasn't my cup of tea.  Hope this mix gets you movin and a-grooving!  I sure can't sit still while listening to it.
