DRUMS, BASS, ELECTRO!!!

Dogtrane was in NY this weekend, so he pre-recorded his set to be played for the show. This week he changed it up by playing a full hour of Drum & Bass (with just a dash of Hardcore) and mashing it up with all sorts of inappropriate flotsam and jetsam. Was that ABBA I heard? LOL! Per usual he had the chatroom buzzing and whirring over his mixes and mashes and inimitable stylings. Another must check!

With Leeroy on leave from The Project this week it was my absolute pleasure to host and do the rundown of this week's Street Sounds Nu Electro Chart. I mixed in choice selections from the chart with other tasty Electro morsels including a new absolute banger from Dr. Schmidt and a rough mix demo from Newcleus. Here's the track list:

Dr. Schmidt - "They're Here"

Blastromen - "Metal Machine Victims"

UKV - "Random Number Generator" -- (#6 on SS chart)

Zero One / Paul Hardcastle - "Over N Over" -- (#13 on SS chart)

Gammachild - "The TRIAC"

Newcleus - "Returned To Earth" -- (rough mix demo)

Otto Von Schirach - "Bass Low" -- (#11 on SS chart)

Bass Kittens - "Air Quotes" -- (#20 on SS chart)

Das Omikron - "Analog Computation" -- (chart rundown background)

Dynamik Bass System - "She's Gotta Have It" -- (#1 on SS chart)

Next week should prove interesting as a new and improved Street Sounds Nu Electro Chart returns to Leeroy's show The Project on Global Funk Radio . You can be sure that Dogtrane and I will have plenty more tasty morsels to serve up to you all as well!

ENJOY!

Sorry for the late posting this week, lots of things are happening...

BACK IN EFFECT!!!

After taking off a week for our annual Jam-On excursion to Coney Island Pier, Dogtrane and I returned with an episode to sort of mark where the show has gone so far.

Being that we are the show on Global Funk Radio that plays the most 4/4 dance music, Dogtrane decided to give us a 4 on the floor jaunt. First taking us through some choice classic Disco and then venturing into a nice mix of funky House music. He then finished up with an exclusive House mashed-up remix of Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun". Fun, funky set!

For my half I celebrated the arrival of the Street Sounds Nu Electro Chart to its new home at GFR, by compiling and playing a Top 11 list of our personal favorites of all the Nu Electro that we have played since our opening show this past April. I talked plenty of hooey of course. I've included a track listing in the order they were played, from 11th to 1st.

Signal Type - "In Abyss"

Karl Finlow - "Magnolia"

Sace 2 - "Stereophonic Sound"

Das Omikron - "Anolog Computation"

DJ Xed - "Sferik"

Newcleus - "Programmed 4 L.O.V.E."

Microthol - "Fragile"

Dr. Schmidt - "The Engines Of God"

Dark Vektor - "Wires"

The Middle Men - "Unseen Beings"

Biepang - "Neon Parallels"

With the Street Sounds chart now coming to GFR I have decided to make my portion of the show's dedication to Electro permanent. Not to say that I won't be playing other music from time to time, but I believe that the scene right now really needs my commitment!

ENJOY!

JAM-ON JULY 4TH JAM-BOREE!!!

WHHOOOAAAA!!!! WHAT A SHOW!!!

Most of the Jam-On Productions members, family and friends were on hand for a 4th Of July BBQ and Bash at the homestead, and man did we jam! We set out to do a 6 hour, 3 podcast show and ended up nearly doing 7 hours, without a single boring minute! This HAS to go down as our best show to date!

PART 1:

DJ Dogtrane set off the show and the first hour with a set of classic breaks! He rocked most of the staples for an hour and sounded so good that the rest of us wouldn't let him quit. We then realized that he had not played "Just Begun" and we refused to let him off the set until he dug it up. He did just that and added "Give It Up Or Turn It Loose" for good measure. Dr. Freeze and Al T joined me on the mic. A great start to the evening!

I followed that with a set of hard hitting, butt shaking, floor rockin' Nu Electro. Had a couple of glitches, as I was already deep into my bottle of The Glenlivet (something that will become more and more apparent as the night goes on). Still, the likes of Signal Type, Volsoc, Dr. Schmidt, Dark Vector and The Middle Men kept the beat deep, dark, electronic and funky!

PART 2:

Hour 3 (1/2) featured original Jam-On DJ Dr. Freeze laying down a smooth and funky set of some groovin' House music! Choice cuts and classic jams interwoven seamlessly gave a sweet taste of what our Brooklyn House parties were like in the late '80s and early '90s.

I came behind that with a rockin' set of Breakbeat! I was quite inebriated by this time so I'm not quite sure how I managed, but I dug down deep somehow and managed not to make too much of a fool of myself. Don't know if I can quite say the same thing about Part 3...

PART 3:

The last 2 hours and change are definitely the highlight of the show! By this time just about everybody in the house was good and sloshed, except for Dogtrane who was not drinking. So, instead us all getting on the set as originally planned, we turned over all of the DJ duties to Dogtrane who of course did not disappoint! The rest of our drunken mob then manned the two mics and made memories! Unfortunately in some segments the mics were too low (as I was by this point much too intoxicated to properly monitor such things), but the fun is definitely well in evidence. Dogtrane's completely off the cuff set is non-stop dopeness with classic Disco, House, Funk, Breaks and even some Rock. I throw some drunken ancient rhymes in which I promptly screw up, but Al T and even my oldest son Moseefus and nephew Maccabee grace the mic with their presence and freestyles. By the end of the night the studio is packed with drunken revelers, many of whom take turns pronouncing their glee on the mic, while Dogtrane never misses a beat all night!

A CLASSIC show that will be hard to ever top!
