592 The Remix According to Meat Beat Manifesto

This is supplemental to the remixes I posed on 125 and 410 (there is a little overlap with these).  I just love his big beats and dubby basslines with quirky analog synths and many other studio toys.  

Jack Dangers has been known to re-use samples and bits of music between his own tracks and his remixes.  Here's a few examples I picked up on.

-Boom Boom Satellites - features elements of "Its The Music."

-DHS - features elements later remixed in "Fire Number 9 (peel sessions)."

-Globo - Features elements of Jack Danger's cover of Silver Apples "Oscillations."

-Atomfear - Features several samples from Satyricon; I did more research and found that this is actually Atomfear remixing MBM.

DJ Wally's track is from the DJ Spooky mix CD Celestial Mechanix, because I was too lazy to rip this from my vinyl.

603 The Remix According to Techno Animal

JKB and Kevin Martin aka The Bug making very dirty raw beats with a wall of noise.  Wonderful stuff.  I felt this should be a separate entry from yesterday's massive JKB overview. I believe the only thing missing from this mix is the JSBX dub remix of Bacon which I just couldn't track down.

438 The Remix According to DJ Food

DJ Food started as an offshoot of Coldcut, and brought in two additional members.  Then it whittled down to just Strictly Kev.  The output has been phenomenal for the world of trip hop and breaks.  The "Jazz Breaks" and "Refried Food" albums should be in everyone's collection.  I could have made this mix much, much longer.  I decided to go with just my favorites instead of a full retrospective across multiple mixes.

244 - Listen for the color of the sky

A very pop oriented mix from me, with several twists and turns.  Breaks, funky grooves, downtempo, and plenty of strangeness in-between.

Episode 171 - Samples used by MBM

Jack Dangers has impeccable taste in choosing samples, which are essential components or hooks to his tracks.  Here I have selected a few dozen examples which should be easily recognizable for any casual listener.  Though MBM may only use a few seconds, I have included about a minute or so of each track to show more of where it came from.   The YouTube playlist has even more as I added some film dialogue samples too.  This should supplement my previous post Episode 125 that covers most of their formative years.

Episode 21 - Variety is the spice of life

A mix with lots of variety, from trip hop to breaks to hip hop to straight up trance.  That MBM track is still one of my favorite breaks tracks, followed appropriately by Lesson 6. Early Autechre is a whole different beast than what they became. I've always loved the dubby side of Moby's early work.  There are so many hidden gems in the FSOL archives series.  This is one of the few Aphex Twin tracks I still enjoy, love the story about how the tape was eaten but u-Ziq liked how it sounded and left it in the mix.
