The Eccentric Grooves of Logan 5

There's no better way to focus your mind than to breathe cold, fresh air (the kind left in the studio by open-all-the-windows-Drew, host of the Revolutions Per Minute show that precedes the Groove). This evening's set seems to reflect that singular purpose of exploring crystalline spaces of word, sound and groove, from the indie electro-pop first set through a techno workout in the latter half. Suck in a fresh breath of night air, warm up the subwoofers, and enjoy.

With my studio guest and longtime friend DJ No, we dug deep into the funk and breakbeats this week. DJ No resides from the SF Bay Area but picked up the DJ habit in Florida's fertile funky breaks scene of the 90s. We were fortunate to have DJ No spin for us on New Year's Eve this year, and he previewed a few of those tracks for us on the radio show.

It's a great challenge and joy to slip into another DJ's big shoes and bring your own spin to their style.

On the heels of a week that brought us unbelievable triumphs of humanity - shattered records at the London Olympic games and high-res photos of a new landscape on Mars, I felt this week the impetus to explore the territory of our hot human hearts and our cold analytic brains. So this show balances the funk of modern disco with the efficient and clinical pounding of techno, crossing that liquid ocean of improvised electronic music in the middle. Enjoy!

It's sweltering out there. Still, at 11pm at night. At midnight. Chico's melting after a weekend of the triple digits. Sweaty times require sweaty funky music, my friends, and that's what filled my crate several days ago when I did a little extracurricular KZFR set on Wednesday night. So carrying that over to this evening, we find this set starting out with a hot blast of funk, settling into a deep dancefloor groove, and soon moving beyond into uncharted territories. Soon, we've forgotten the radiating pavement and swamp cooler buzz, as the ethereal vibes of some deep sea techno envelope us. This is how I cool off, and it's late now, time to open windows and drift to sleep on the breeze. Playlist Zongamin “Make Love Not War” The Jimmy Castor Bunch “It's Just Begun” Salsoul Orchestra “Getaway” Northend “Tee's Happy” Electra “Feels Good (Carrots & Beets) (dub)” Pittsburgh Transit Authority “Now's Tomorrow” Smith and Hack “Frederi...
