Deedlecast

In October 2009, Deedlecast Laboratories cooked up a collection of beats ranging from the rock, reggae, and R&B variety to beat break, metal, dub, hipop, and jazz. This little beat experiment is back, remastered, remixed, and better than ever.

Remember, as Richard Buckminster Fuller, the inventor of the Bucky Ball, famously said, “There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes.”

This week's Deedlecast experiment is just one of those unexpected outcomes.

DJDeedle has to leave his tropical island paradise for a quick trip to an island of entirely different sort: Manhattan. Join him as we revisit this classic Deedlecast from 2008, "Loving New York," remastered and remixed for 2014

There are as many ways to love New York as there are things to love about New York. One of the things DJDeedle loves about New York is its sound. In the same way the city's diverse inhabitants mix and mingle in to make New York one of the most extraordinary places on Earth, the diverse sounds and musical styles of the city, from the refined and classic to the gritty and cutting edge, come together into something compelling and fresh.

Just how do you love New York?

Warning: New York style language throughout this Deedlecast.

Back in July 2008, things were pretty bleak. The economy was in the toilet, gas prices were at an all time high, wages were falling, the housing bubble burst, and the stock market sagging. Consumers were really feeling the pinch. DJDeedle implemented his own stimulus package, slashing tempos, dropping keys, and cutting and splicing, well, everything. "Down, Down, Down" is back, remixed and remastered for 2014. It's guaranteed to raise your spirits, if not your 401(k) or house value, this Deedlecast has all the elements you need for a strong recovery!

Summer has arrived and it's going to be a hot one. So, you'd better own the heat before it owns you. This week, DJDeedle ignites the season with a hot new mix to set your summer on fire.

A recording made by Thomas Edison in 1877 has long been thought to be the first artificially recorded sound. It turns out the first recordings were made in 1860 by Frenchman, Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville, using a Phonautograph. The recording medium was merely paper covered in soot, so the sound literally emerges from smoke. As a result of advances in audio technology, these phonautograph recordings can now be heard again using lasers which do not damage or degrade these precious artifacts. This Deedlecast is a remastered and remixed ("refixed") version of the classic Deedlecast, "Phonautograph," which aired on June 20, 2008. "Phonautograph" starts with the very first sound ever recorded using the phonautograph (albeit altered quite a bit by dj magic). There are some other similarly altered phonautographic bits and pieces sprinkled throughout the show.Learn more about the phonautograph.

This Deedlecast gem from 2007 has been begging for a facelife using more modern technology for re-release in 2014. "Music for Murder" is back with a little modern makeover. Remixed, remasterd, and completely refitted. It's mood music in a jugular vein. Truly, to die for!

No need to pull out your change for this jukebox. The tunes are on DJDeedle. This week DJDeedle brings you a selection of heroes of the jukebox. This classic Deedlecast from 2009 has been remastered from the original 160kbps to glorious 320kbps sound for 2014.

BREAKING: Fresh new sound from the Deedlecast Studios this week. DJDeedle's taken his break and is back again with brand new mixes and mashes for 2014. Deedlecast is back! Spread the news!

Today's Deedlecast marks 8 years we've faced the music together. It's truly time for a party, and DJDeedle has just the music you need to celebrate. DJDeedle's taken a little break from his time away from the mixing board to put together a special something to help you party like it's 1999 or even 1959. This show resonates with the sounds of six decades.

So whether you've been facing the music with DJDeedle every Friday since 2006, or you've joined us along the way, many thanks, and much love. Join the party - already in progress.

Everyone needs a break now and then, and DJDeedle's no exception. As Deedlecast closes in on the end of its eighth year, DJDeedle's going to take a little hiatus from weekly production. This week's show has all the quick changes and fast breaks you love. This final Deedlecast of 2013, "Fast Break," will be the last new show for a bit while DJDeedle enjoys a little hiatus, a creative vacation.

Don't worry. You'll still be able to face the music every Friday, even while DJDeedle's resting. Each week during the break, we'll feature a classic Deedlecast, remastered and re-released. The break will be a great time for those of you who've tuned in for years to rehear some of those great old shows. For those of you who are newer to Deedlecast, you can discover some great shows from the archive that you've missed.
