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.

548 Transient Ghost Stories

547 Ubu Smallbones



This came from my desire to include Coil and Blue next to each other somehow.  Plus, the Lou Reed meditations album is just wonderful and I've been wanting to use part of this somewhere.  The Moby track is just me adding the bassline from the original to the "Aquamix" remix - I love both versions however felt the remix was missing that groove.

546 Lushed



A wonderful track from Orbital with some classic remixes, and here 32 years after its release I'm still coming back to it time and time again.   What I've done for this mix is include those originals (1-3) and era remixes (3-5, 7, 13) along with bootleg (9-10) and disguised remixes (6, 8, 12, 14) from peers and modern artists.  I read that Vapourspace created four remixes, and only as of recently two of them have been released.  Hopeful the remaining tracks will see the light of day sometime.  Despite this being 14 versions of the same track, there is plenty of depth and variety making it an engaging listen all the way through.

05:39  Orbital - Lush 3-2
10:20  Underworld - Lush 3-3

544 I dreamt a dream last night

543B Bootgaze


Fun name for this style, and appropriate in my opinion.  Somehow I had previously overlooked the wonderful world of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' soundtrack work.  Sure I'd seen these movies but neglected to pick up the soundtracks which are great and really do compliment the films as a great composer should.

543A High Desert Ambient


The next three mixes continue my fascination with Ambient Americana.  Each focused on a sub-genre if that's possible, building in some intensity towards more traditional song oriented tracks in the third.  I found many new artists to explore and have really enjoyed this.  These mixes have been in constant rotation while I'm working for the last couple weeks.  So much so that I've slacked on compiling new mixes as a result.  

Here are the previous four mixes I made.  

00:00  Corntuth - C-005
04:40  Western Skies Motel - Leaving Behind
08:24  Elgafar - Serene
11:09  Barn Owl - Devotion I

539 Blame your strong blood, how it would break


Some oddball tracks mixed in to keep this spicy in-between some very recognizable tracks. 

I pulled the track title from words from every other track title in this mix... only later search and Google AI indicated that this phrase was used in a Jelly Roll song (my daughter is a fan).  Weird happenstance.

538 Punk Leftovers




Cleaning out my folder of punk songs that have been favorites for many years.
Pre-Soul Asylum in their punk days.  The Meatmen making a Boris the Sprinkler sound like their own.  The Queers back when I used to see them hanging around the scene with the local favorites, The Nobodys.  A young Shane McGowan in the Nipple Erectors, Pre-The Cure in Lockjaw.  Naked Aggression using a Francisco Tarrega Capricho árabe intro, which blew me away as a teen seeing them perform in a friend's living room and recognizing this track as I was a classical guitar instructor at the time.  Title Fight is a new group a friend recommended and I'm really getting into them.  Lots of odds and ends and a wild ride start to finish!

536 Nothing is Happening



The first 100 or so mixes I posted here all had a few tracks omitted, mostly due to length concerns as I try to keep everything around 75 minutes (call me nostalgic, I got stuck in this mindset when I was burning everything on CD-R's back in the day).  Fortunately, I dumped all those extra tracks into a folder and am just now revisiting them.

535 The Patience of a Mushroom



A chill mix of mostly indie folk, and some positivity spread throughout.  Plus a rare classic Pink Floyd song I was only recently made aware of.  Last week I wore a Shelter t-shirt to a meeting with my Sangha, and no one else had heard them yet, so I played this acoustic cover and they all loved it.  Felt only right to follow that with a Plum Village recording.

532 Flowers



I really wanted to build a playlist around the Godflesh Track "Flowers," as that's a standout track from them in my opinion.  Unfortunately I was drawing a blank trying to find songs similar to this style.  The early era of Skinny Puppy was on my playlist for the day so I started picking a few of those tracks and just went with it.  Not what I originally set out to accomplish, however it did come together nicely in the end.

I love to hear suggestions on what else would go well with this theme.
