This mix features a good selection of styles, most with a little more edge than my previous two mixes of this genre. Iconaclass is the frontman from my favorite noisy hip hop group Dalek, Oktober was a pleasant surprise when I was actually searching for a Krautrock band of the same name. I included some turntabilism, and the crafty live instrumentation of Live Human is on full display. Some downtempo/illbient pieces fit well in the middle, then bridging on some industrial items. That Nasenbluten track is just bonkers and uses rap (and The Shining) samples to great effect - though I edited a good 6 or 7 minutes of the track as the novelty wears off quickly. EBN's one and only full album is chalk full of gems: produced by Jack Dangers, featuring royalty on the MC duties, Bill Laswell has his hands in the pot, and they got their funding by doing visuals for U2's Zooropa tour. And then, of course I had to wrap this all up with some absolute classics that everyone should have in their collection.
