Portable Madness

An eclectic mix this time, with some neo-lounge from Tipsy, the always stalwart big beat of DJ Krush, and those indie Maine-iacs Cerberus Shoal kicking things off.

The mosquito sound is actually from Picchio dal Pozzo, not Tortoise,  despite the track names and the segue.  We then hear rowdy Belgian big band X-Legged Sally before things get bassy and wavish for a bit with the Ubus, Magazine, and Section 25.

The Matthew Herbert Big Band is a recent fave – heavily monkeyed-with avant showtunes – if you can imagine.  Exotic blues from a Morricone soundtrack and the ethereal beats of Loop Guru close it out.

Had fun last week live on the radio – more to come in May and June, I think…

This week’s ‘cast starts off with oddball hipster dufii Bruce Hampton and Fred Lane, before getting into a mix that sprinkles in some downtempo, a bit of Krautrock, wave from Lizzy Descloux and Stereolab, and a healthy dose of dub at the end, sandwiching Jah Wobble  and the Dub Syndicate around some neodub from the likes of Pole and another Disrupt associate on Jahtari, Ras Amerlock.

I will be back on streaming radio next week, hopefully along with Mitch, Jim, and Michael, over at WCUW-FM.  Check it out – I don’t think it’s archived, but streams live between 10 and 12 PM EST (GMT-5).  Should be fun to do this sort of thing live.

Very rhythmic this week – download links below…
