Portable Madness

This week’s mix pulls together a bunch of my favorite new wave/minimal 80’s kinda things, plus a few newer things sprinkled in.

Lotsa great grrlpunk here, with the Bush Tetras, Delta 5 (who finally got a CD reissue recently), Au Pairs, and the always massive Slits with their seminal track Typical Girls.

The second half gets synthy, with Chicks on Speed providing a modern take on the genre.  The overlooked Pink Industry (who have caught on since at collector’s prices!) chime in, and then the Hudsons, John Bender (a fan compilation CD of which is here), and the even more obscure Two explore the minimal synth genre.

More modern stuff at the end, including Disrupt, one of my favorite current dub artists.  I anticipate including more dub in future mixes – I’ve always been into the On-U Sound spectrum, and there are some nice modern takes on that whole thing around these days…

Might be back on the radio soon, with old friends – watch this space…
