Part 1> We’re super-pleased to feature a guest mix from Melbourne, Australia’s Jason Martin. Coming from a techno/house background and digging back in time, Jason puts together a great blend of boogied-out and revamped classics for us. He’s run a radio show on KISS-fm in Melbourne called \”Disco Juice\” and an infamous club night called \”Dirty Talk\” – with guests including Daniel Wang, Darshan Jesrani, HMC, and Cut Copy among others. More info (including some great writing on Roy Ayers) and mixes can be found over at suenomartino.net. Check it!

Part 2> Couple of newer bits from Dave, including B12-influenced deepness from Remote_, slowly growing ambience from Pan American’s latest full-length, and Monolake’s most recent dancefloor effort.

Part 1 > Matt’s unmixed, reflective set of high lonesome mood tracks from Detroit downtempo to dub to abstract future jazz. New music this week from Detroit’s South South Million, and Junior Boys turn in a plaintive dark sparkler from their brilliant new album.

Part 2 > We broadcast a classic mix from DJ Beppe Loda, a founding italo disco DJ who played in Chicago for one night on a mini US tour. A pioneer of DJ culture and resident at Italy’s legendary Typhoon club from 1980 to 1987, Loda has been searching for sounds off the beaten path since his first gig in 1973. Playing to as many as 7,000 people a night, producing in excess of 200 mix tapes and pioneering the \”italo synth\” sound with his MC1 project (just reissued on Synthonic), he has just about done it all. His \”Afro\” style (also called \”Cosmic\” or \”Cosmic Afro\”) is as disorienting, funky and inspiring now as it was then. Read an interview with this incredible pioneer in electronic dance music done by Jeremy Campbell.

Part 1 > Laid back soul ices down a steamy August night, music for a backyard lit by a glowing pool. Abstract library funk gives in to synthesized beats before diving into chill mode. Check Sly & Robbie’s monster bassline cover of Don’t Stop the Music, and a new boogie twist from Bugz in the Attic.

Part 2 > Synthetic funk and gauzy dub sounds gradually subside into abstraction. Newer goodness from BoC introduces boogie electricity from NYC courtesy of Larry Levan via Tony Paris, Environ, and Rheji Burrell out of apartment 3A. Burial’s deep night horns and scattered snares make way for relaxed favorites, with Kit Clayton providing the ultimate hypnosis.
