Part 1: Setting a mood of left-field funkiness from all corners of emerging club music. From Francois K’s collaborative \”Snake Charmer\” EP to Italo by Memory Control One and weirdo French comp-u-pop from Le Club. Deep new slow-burner this week from JuJu & Jordash in Amsterdam via Detroit’s abstract house label Psychostasia, and a dark classic from L.B. Bad.

Part 2: electronic body music recovered from video from early 80s pioneers liaisons dangereuses blends with old and new sounds from chicago and detroit, followed by a bit of crisp mid-90s housed-up techno, including a 1993 gem from st. germain.

dave’s at the helm as spring weather floats into the sunset metropolis with ambient dub and downtempo, transitioning into slow-paced chorded-out techno-house hybrids – given extended play for maximum exposure & flow. hip hop and electro guide us through the 80s, connecting industrial dance with acid house, and lapsing into deep melodics at a faster clip.

Part 1: Visit a strange desert in the wild west where the dub delay lasts for miles. Cross-genre experiments where dub voodoo, deep chicago house and spaghetti westerns all collide over a midnight game of low stakes poker. Feel the languid heat of the backporch storytelling and slow motion subwoofers.

Part 2: super-electronic detroit house starts us out, and new york city serves as the anchor for a few tangents in EBM and mid-90s house. scintillating waves of arpeggiation from la synthesis wind through to an electro slammer from shiver and black dog on the dancefloor.

Part 1: Lights down low for a slow, moody combo of nighttime soul dusties and smoked-out Detroit downtempo.

Deep arrangements from Mr. Geist (DJing across town tonight) and a favorite NewOrder b-side w/ chi-house ’88 influence. Crisp electro from Holland’s Dexter.

Matt solo 2 deck trek.

Part 1 > midtempo gradual wind-up w/ Larry Levan’s NYC Peech Boys oddity mixed into a Hall & Oates ultra-deep drumbox groove. MARRS b-side that is my favorite 4 minutes in 4AD label history. Laid back italo extends the groove until New Order’s Ecstacy turns a corner to electro from Carl Finlow to Kraftwerk, rare UR plus a breakers cut from Hashim.

Part 2 > take I-94 from Chicago to Detroit (via Carl Craig remixing Ron Trent’s anthem) where Dan Bell and Rob Hood bring minimal funk. Natural direct-drive rhythms from Mills as Purpose Maker keep up room pressure. New music from Berlin’s Dieb: very dark abstract funk on new techno label from Rome. A pensive wind-down from Dutch duo The Connection Machine: their full-length release finally sees daylight (via DownLow), following their now legendary EP on Planet E over a decade ago.
