Mix of the Moment: Emperor Machine on Beats In Space
Tim Sweeny’s weekly radio show, Beats In Space (WNYU 89.1 FM New York), hosted DC Recordings’ own The Emperor Machine this past Wednesday, and the resulting mix is one hell of a lot of funky and psychedelic electronic sounds for just one hour’s time. If you’ve never heard him before, this may make for a very interesting introduction, as most of the tracks he includes are his own unreleased edits and remixes. Even more interesting is that we get to hear not only a couple of cuts from his forthcoming and as-of-yet-not-really-announced album, but the final track is even something he’s crediting with his real name, Andy Meecham—at least so far. You can download the mix here, or check out the rest of the details for this installment (including the track listing) here.
Mix of the Moment: Claude VonStroke on Rinse FM!
This past Monday, San Francisco’s own Claude VonStroke stopped by the Rinse FM studios, and threw down a two-hour monster set. To say it’s weird to hear the man shouting out to the City on a British radio show is a gross understatement, but boy does it feel good to know he’s getting to show ‘em what we’ve been screaming about on this end of the world for so damn long. As usual, expect some serious day-party-friendly sauce in this one—sunnies on, kids!
