Ep. 319: November 8, 2014 - Paradise (Garage) Lost


On the anniversary of the death of the pioneering DJ Larry Levan, I brought a bunch of records in that reflect the vibe that Levan brought to his main residency at the legendary New York members-only cub, the Paradise Garage. It was there that Levan utilized the custom-built tools of his DJ booth (including full control over sound, lights, even temperature) to fuse the avant-garde with the dance floor, including sounds like dub, punk, gospel, african music and house. The second set of the night was dedicated to his spirit.

It was my pleasure this week to have Chico's own DJ/producer Oilpanic in the studio to mix up some of his favorite current sounds. Hjalmar Hake aka Oilpanic hails originally from Sweden but has called Chico his home for many years. He's recently released techno tracks and EPs to critical acclaim on the local 530Techno label as well as Blipswitch, Musical Missionaries and Waveform, and has been nominated numerous times for best electronic artist in Chico. Oilpanic brought in his Traktor rig and I let him take over the show for this rare treat. Hope you enjoy the podcast.
