The Eccentric Grooves of Logan 5

with special guest DJ Big-E I'm very grateful that Erin could come in and play records with me this evening - and a great set he played!

I'm off playing in the snow this weekend but I thought in lieu of my regular podcast I'd throw up a DJ mix I did five years ago for your listening enjoyment. Mixed live from all vinyl, like we used to do. This is called "Iteration 2007" - electro, minimal, techno, and some peak hour flavors.

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 was a dark and stormy night... seriously, it was the evening of the "atmospheric river" blasting 10 inches of rain into northern California, sheets of rain clattering against the KZFR studio windows, and with just hours to spare before the FM transmitter took a direct hit, I managed to put together this show for you. Enjoy.

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.

I love supporting the artists I play by purchasing music, directly from the artist if possible, and one of the ways I discover new artists is to check out who's giving stuff away. Love this new music industry model: the more you give away, the more you sell. My favorite freebies of the last month are these: The Electro Compendium I've played a fair number of songs off this incredible, free, compilation of true electro music and I think you should just get the whole thing, too. 116 Tracks includes contributions by some of best names in electro music of the last decade, given free with the admirable goal of making sure that the word "electro" continues to represent one of the most distinctive strains of electronic music which has roots in the mid-70s, and retains recognizable traits of that music to this day: a dystopian, clinical sound of machine-generated funk. Do not sleep on this! The Electro Compendium by Various Larry Gus - Silent Congas This album is ju...
