photo credit: ferusanimus@flickr Fresh from attending the lovely Closer PDX electronic music festival in Portland followed by a week of temperate rain forest relaxation, I arrived back in Chico's mind-melting inferno today to put together this show. Concerned for my trove of heat-sensitive vinyl, I played almost all wax tonight, in case they should melt in my car on the way home from the show.  Special shout out to my many gay married (and unmarried) friends - this weekend belongs to you, and the track I played by San Francisco's beloved 80's synth-disco wunderkind Patrick Cowley is dedicated to your/our victory.

A new show, on a new night...  I'm happy to introduce a new radio show tonight, playing some serious Saturday night vibes! While I'll miss the late Sundays of the After After Party, it was hard to be convincingly chipper at work 6 hours later. I'll be hosting " Eccentric Groove"  on alternating Saturday nights 10pm to midnight, and hopefully the energy I and my guests will bring is the weekend soundtrack you'll be looking forward to. And of course, the podcasting will continue. As a nod to my live listeners and in the interest of using Soundcloud more efficiently, I'll podcast just one hour of every show. Let the wild rumpus start! Playlist Part 1  Death In Vegas "Candie McKenzie" on Fuel 2000  Lianne La Havas "Forget (Laurel Halo mix)"  A Number Of Names "Shari Vari (ADULT.

I've taken to the airwaves again. Not surfing the piles of new tracks tonight - it's a show of healing and happiness, which aren't necessarily the same thing.

The show had a bit of a deeper vibe this evening, as I've been reflecting this week on the loss of Adam Yauch and the effect the Beastie Boys had on getting me into hip-hop and breakbeats. I won't claim to have done a tribute show in any way, but subconsciously there's more breakbeat in this show than "usual", whatever that is. At any rate, hold now... hit it: Playlist Steve Reich - “Music For 18 Musicians (coldcut remix)” from Reich - Remixed Derrick May - “Strings of Life” from Modulations Arthur Russell - “Let's Go Swimming (Coastal Dub)” from Let's Go Swimming - EP Telex - “Do Worry (Lindstrom Remix)” from Do Worry - EP ZeroDB - “Sunshine Lazy” from Bongos, Bleeps and Basslines Luke Vibert and B.J.
