What we have here is Lorin's self described latest mix of "omni-tempo maximalism". Bassnectar (http://www.bassnectar.net/) has been pushing the boundaries of what a DJ is since his beginnings. My first encounter with his music was at Burning Man ten years ago. The entire scene those next couple of years for me musically in Black Rock City were transformative. The slow bass body music El Circo and other camps were pouring out was so fresh and fundamentally just dripping with sex. Bassnectar's sets always a highlight, almost everything you heard had been tweaked in his own lab before it blessed the crowd. Mood shifts and tempo switches done so dramatically but yet you'd hardly notice them... All part of the journey. The first track Doom's Night is really a sentimental one for me. As usual he has done a complete rework in his lab, breathing new life into the classic. I'll never forget the first time I played Doom's Night though, over a decade ago now, my first real gig. Back then the internet was a fetus in comparison to it's current state. Finding records involved people, phone calls, and luck. So no one at that party had heard it yet, I'm positive of that fact. The excitement level was at eleven when that bass line dropped in for the first time.   As used to happen it was now "my track", and I had set myself a high bar for the future. The experience was amazing and every time I hear that song I am reminded of the beginning of my journey as a DJ myself, no matter how different it sounds today. The rest of the mix is a odyssey through the familiar flipped on it's head. Bassnectar always make's it all his own, even your favorite Pixies track. Professionally warping hip-hop, to drum and bass, and dropping a few classic tracks in between there's a little something we can all enjoy... Unless you've got big speakers, then resistance in any form is futile. Get you some tempo ambiguous, bass riddled body music.

You are going to need sixteen and a half minutes, some big speakers, and a 40 please. This mix was made for Mary Anne Hobbes on BBC Radio 1, but it was too good to let die there. It's chock full of their tunes & some layered acapellas that will make you want to wave that 40 and worship the sun. Oh happy day, future bass music. The partnership consists of MartyParty and Ooah of Glitch Mob fame.  The boys at Marine Parade we're good enough to let me hear their first release which you can be rocking as early as tomorrow.  Listening to it I knew I was hearing the beginning of something large.  Beba is the first track on the mix there which I've probably listened to 20 times now, definitely in rotation. For some reason they put a ridiculously sick 32 count on the end, loopers delight. Get Money is equally impressive, an emotional thug epic with enough bassline for even the hardest . As mentioned June 6 2009 is the release of the first single Beba / Get Money, and July 7 we'll see the rest of the goods when they release their debut album. Holler if ya hear me..............

Sunday Sessions Episode One... This mix is seriously a must. I know I tell you all of the mixes are good, cause you know what they are. I don't post everything I come across. I do work so you can just enjoy something interesting and quality. So even though I hype every mix, I gotta tell you this one is pretty amazing. In fifty-nine and a half minutes we cover 66 tracks and not once did I feel like I needed ADD treatment. Impressive feat no matter who you are... Little Orphan Orange came to me from a good friend in Seattle. I've known James Stevens since the late nineties, and he has always been ridiculously good at DJ'ing. From selection to execution solid all day long. I have fond memories of the living room at his house, dominated by the sound setup. Any day of the week, bet he was thinking outside the box and keeping me on my toes. This is a two man mix, Peter Schott is the other half of Clobber... I don't have a link yet for either of them but you can contact them through this site for now. These guys are in Seattle and they played this mix when they opened for Milanese and Cyrus. I know it was 2 men, 3 1200's and a Rane mixer, which is their normal setup as far as I know. About the mix, not easy to wrangle into few words... First off it is best ingested whole, and it evolves very well, rolling effortlessly from track to track, it has a very hip/trip-hop vibe for the first chapter... They lift you up somewhere in the middle seemingly just to bring you back down with some drama and dub-step. Here's where some big speakers come in handy, cause I'm telling you it sounds completely different than your computer speakers (got one of those little subwoofers?). Anyway burn and play at full volume elsewhere if necessary. That just details the first half, I'll leave a little to the imagination. Check it out.
