Emotions Unknown

Dave takes us for a guided tour through dusky soft shadows and nighttime machines, leading into more relaxed territory before revisiting those chunky Chicago roots. New dubstep/techno genre-crossing sounds blended with their forerunners round out the meander. Too many great new cuts to mention all of them, but Stereociti lays down a thick, clean groove with Drexciyan flourishes, Joy Orbison offers you a rainbow-colored glowstick, and DJ Sprinkles goes beyond deep.

Northland Roller Rink, Detroit

Matt takes a 2 hour journey from chilled post-punk, slow-mo disco, post-dub remixes and post-bourbon crate digging.  Slower tempos then building, some favorites from 2008 including Osborne, Nite Jewel, Windsurf and a superfunky Hot Coins slab… plus Detroit techno and Chicago house records all jacked up.

superpeople

Matt uncorks a 2.5 hour extended trip through soul in different dance styles. From chill Detroit nighttime transitions to synthy boogie, house, and some abstract dub electronics. Don’t miss your medication from Talking Heads, and Deadbeat’s searing remix of Saul Williams for the closer.

Part 2: Right-click to download (68 min = 78 mb)

Part 1> Alternate soundtrack to a 1983 film about a spaceman stranded in Harlem, expressed with soul, electronic funk & boogie, and winds up with a few beautifully synthesized italo disco anthems from the same era.

Part 2> A melding of 80s styles with current Chicago/Detroit-influenced goodness floats away into lush ambience and two cello-based moods, followed by a late-summer house wind-down into dubbed-out sounds and 90s hypnotic minimalism. Notable new slabs from Pan Sonic, Sven Weisemann, and a hot re-issue of extra-rare old-school Chicago deepness from Joe Lewis.
