Beat Repeat-No. 35

This week,a focus on Spearhead Records out of the UK. (http://spearheadrecords.bigcartel.com) Spearhead is home to Muffler, BCee, Redeyes and Bungle, among other outstanding artists. I hope you enjoy the set, as I am still feeling the Drum & Bass vibe, revived by Hospital Records and further motivated by Spearhead Records.

Tracklist:

Tempest–Ramadanman

This week was a week of changes for me…lost an old friend, and an even older friend will probably have his first child tomorrow. I am filled with a sense of my own age, and as usual, I am acutely aware of passing time. The music this week is a reflection of this current mood–contradictory and a little melancholy. I hope you enjoy the set.

Beat Repeat returns his week with and hour of epic modern Drum and Bass featuring Hospital Records. I’m thrilled about this sound, and Hospital continues to excite with excellent releases, including the recent release of the new self-titled Netsky album. Netsky will be doing remixes of the forthcoming Underworld single, Scribble, and I can’t wait.

Mistabishi–From Memory (Matrix Remix)

Beat Repeat No 32.

I love San Francisco– and I love successful Amoeba runs. I really do. This week, I’m playing some new finds from the Dubstep bins. I’m still on the F album, Energy Distortion, as well as the new Scuba, Triangulations–I know I need to move on… but really…Triangulations is a wonderful album. Also, new finds from Zomby and some excellent Mount Kimbie Remixes. Also, the new Clubroot is worth a listen–really beautiful productions.

Big thanks to Cass at Amoeba for spending a half hour looking for a Blakkamoore single for me–even though we never found it.

Tracklist:

Falling Into Your Eyes–Thomas Fehlmann

This week: Beat Repeat 30; and I’ve got lots of new music to play–the new Scuba comes out next week, and the lead off track is one of many that are truly beautiful on the album. I can’t recommend it enough. Also new tunes from the upcoming Donnacha Costello and Vex’d albums.

In two weeks, I am beginning a new format with a dubstep/crossover-techno focus. San Francisco is ripe with talent, and the dubstep scene here is really well supported. There is quite a bit of variety here in production, ranging from straight out wobble-dubs to the more atmospheric side of the genre.

Beat Repeat 30

Three Sided Shape–Scuba

Feeling spring–new Starkey, new Gorillas, new Solar Polar…. plenty of sonic thunder. Much of the commentary on the new Starkey album that I have read seems to lean towards schizophrenic, but Ear Drums and Black Holes sure has it’s moments. Lead off tune this week is a house shaker. Also this week, new music from Falty DL and another Donnacha Costello find. Many thanks to my friends who send me music. You know who you are. Coming soon, live techno jam. Kick drums to be built, sounds to be cut and pasted.

Beat Repeat No 29

Spacecraft–Starkey

Beat Repeat returns for the first broadcast/podcast of the newly redesigned DIrty Radio. This week, music from Clubroot, Solomun, Ichisan plus classics from Renegade Soundwave and D.O.P. New ideas, added focus and hopeful energies toward Dirty Radio will propel us into 2010. I want my DR T-Shirt.

Tracklist:

After Rain Comes Sun–Solomun

Back in two weeks for more new releases and older gems fished from the dusty bins of Ameoba in San Francisco.
