Deedlecast

The New Wave phenomenon of the 1980s brought a new sound and beat to the music world.  Bands like Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark and New Order pioneered the groundbreaking sound that changed music forever.  It's been decades since the New Wave was new.  Now, in honor of the new year, DJDeedle reinvigorates the New Wave sound of synth-based twitchy melodies, with agitated rhythm guitars, fast tempos, as well as those stop-and-start song structures and melodies so characteristic of the genre.  This Deedlecast starts off with a DJDeedle original remix of OMD's "Sister Marie," which captures the sound and rhythm of New Wave, updated for 2011. 

This week, the New New Wave.

Just in time for New Year's Eve, DJDeedle's tinkered with time, dabbled with dimensions, and fiddled with the fundamental laws of the universe to produce for you a truly warped Deedlecast.  With 2010 fading away, and 2011 dawning, time is of the essence.  So DJDeedle's twisted the past, present, and future, weaving it into something unexpected, and of course, warped.  

The holiday season is a time to relax, a time to reflect on the year, and consider our prospects for the next phase.  This week, as a special holiday gift, DJDeedle brings you 50% more Deedlecast, a full hour of the chillest sound you've ever heard.  DJDeedle blends the ambient sounds of John Pemble, with the triphop and electrojazz sounds of Kruder & Dorfmeister, and the dulcet tones of Faithless (Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and Rollo). A dear friend once told me that he found Kruder & Dorfmeister hypnotic and addictive, like a narcotic.  Mixing K&D with Pemble and Faithless creates an experience that will have you floating, not flying, and entranced, not addicted.

Swallow the pill, sit back, relax, and let time and trouble melt away.

Don't worry, the first hit is free. 

If you're like Charlie Brown, the holidays can really get you down, especially with the real estate market the way it is.  Here's a little something to help us keep in mind what christmas is all about: Real Estate.  

It's no secret that DJDeedle is a "Whovian"  (a big "Doctor Who" fan, for those of you non-Whovians).  That's one reason he's so excited that BBC America has decided to air the annual Doctor Who Christmas Special on Christmas Day-- the same day it airs in the UK!  A ripping good present for the holiday.  DJDeedle's so excited, in fact, that he wants to share his joy and anticipation with his loyal listeners by airing a special single mashup.  A little Whovian Christmas cracker, if you will.

This single is a DJDeedle original mashup of Basement Jaxx' thumping new single, "Dracula," and the Doctor Who Theme (Mood Version) by Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire, both sewn together by DJDeedle, and decorated with various Doctor Who sounds and effects from DJDeedle's Whovian library. 

If you love Doctor Who like DJDeedle does, check out "Travel by Tardis," an unusual Deedlecast from April 13, 2007.

Happy holidays, whovians and non-whovians alike!

The holiday season is upon us again, and with all the pressures and excitement, things can't always go as smoothly as we'd planned.  Don't let a glitch here and there put a hitch in your holiday festivity.  DJDeedle works a few of the glitches into this year's special Deedlecast, creating a distinctly holiday sound with a distinctly different effect.  This holiday season, don't let the glitches get you down, put them to work for you.  

Some people fear the night.  Others love it.  DJDeedle finds it inspiring, and does some of his best mixology in the still of the night.  This week, DJDeedle picks your poison, mixing an alluring and addictive beat in the dead of night.  

After all this time, the same old ad game can get boring. The world deserves something new: a vivid compelling medium, that reaches out, grabs people, gets them involved, paints pictures, and stimulates the imagination.  This week, the truth lies in a revolutionary new medium that will change the ad game forever.  All the fun and and excitement that you know and love, translated into something new and exciting, and without all that annoying secondhand smoke. 

Radio has its own logic, it's own feel, its own comforting ethos.  Like comfort food, comfort music grounds us and brings us back home.  This week, DJDeedle applies some Radio.Logic to familiar and comforting sounds, as well as some new sounds to make you feel at home, no matter where that home may be.  

When a plan comes together in perfect harmony and sequence, all you need is one plan: Plan A.  This week, DJDeedle's the man with the plan.
