Ep. 4.20 - a Clayton the Chemist swansong - December 26, 2015

Image
The last Eccentric Groove show of 2015 was also be the last Chico performance of Clayton the Chemist before he relocated to the North Pole - or is it Seattle? We shook loose every last drop of the funk from him because where he's going, he won't need Rhodes.

Ep. 4.19 - with guest Ayrian - December 12, 2015

Image
The penultimate 2015 radio show gets a special treat in the form of musical shape-shifter Ayrian. When we met a decade ago, Ayrian was holding together the one weekly electronic music event in Chico, Velour Lounge. He was playing house and breakbeats but listened to everything and encouraged a wide variety of sounds within those evenings -and gave me my first place to play on my return to Chico. Since then he's gone many directions in his life including samba drumming, entrepreneurial business, producing original music, and starting a family.  Now I'm happy to provide him a return trip, back to the radio show he played nearly two years ago, this time to get a bit deeper into the psychedelic, soulful and tectonic bass sounds that move him. The first hour of the recording is all Ayrian, and in the second hour we're trading sets of 3 tracks back-and-forth mixing on the radio console, and the joy comes through.  No playlists.   Download the show (120 MB MP3)

Ep. 4.16 - Unsettle Down - October 31, 2015

On the rare occasion I get to do a radio show on Halloween, who can resist bringing out the darker side of their musical tastes? While much of current dance music is oriented towards the permanent smile or the tribal trance induction vibe, there's a world of textures that disturb the sense of ease and aim to cultivate our curiosity toward the darker corners of the mind.

Ep. 4.15 - Two Hours before Midnight in an Imperfect World - October 17, 2015

Image
Inspired by a trip to San Francisco this week, where the art/music/technology group Gray Area presented the prodigiously talented Nicolas Jaar in a swanky private venue off a gritty back alley. This isn't Nico's music, but it's my reflection on taking more risks, moving between more styles and time periods, and enjoying the ride. I also came straight to the show after the amazing Chikoko fashion show, an experimental celebration of the body and the creative ways we present it in cloth, balloons, vinyl, paper, ... huge feelings of appreciation for Chico's art and amazing people flowing through me during this radio show. It's just after midnight in an imperfect world; here's the playlist and podcast from tonight's show: Ep. 4.15 - Two Hours before Midnight in an Imperfect World - October 17, 2015 by Logan 5 on Mixcloud Download the show (110 MB MP3) Playlist: Atherton - "runaway" - begin podcast- Breakbot - "Back for...
