So...I made a set. For the expansion of the mind. A very personal one, one featuring some would say my preferred genre of electronic music: the often overlooked Deep Breaks. This set features some of my favorite songs of ALL TIME so you may have heard them before and I’ll guess that the ones you might have heard would be the proper classics known as:
Gentle Rain
All Those Things
Superstring (supa classic, remember the first track of the first Northern Exposure? We’re talkin like ‘95. ManaString is my own doing.)
Sugar DJ
If you haven’t, well, then you’re in for a treat. Again, this is my very personalized reaction to a few different trends and stereotypes currently espoused by the electronic “scene”:
1. Right now, loud, annoying, flat (as in, not lush, no verb, delay, just straight synths everywhere, no feeling of depth), and slutty is popular, to an unprecedented level.
2. Breaks are dead. Completely.
3. Trance sux.
Now, regarding 1, I’m not against filthy nasty electrohouse (or evil DnB or cerebral techno or anything else for that matter), it’s just that I very rarely hear that one breaks set that gives me shivers (occasionally Way Out West sets have gotten close.)
Which led to this. Think of it like my installment in the “Back to Mine” series; if you came and chilled with me, which I think would be rather good times, this is what you might hear in the background. Only now when you listen, we won’t be conversating on top of the music. So turn it up, nice and BEEFY LOUD, and sit back, relax and max it to the sound, my cyberspatial friends. Yes, there is a 6 and a half minute intro and it’s there for meditative purposes, really makes that first beat drop home (when I first heard that unique Chable track, I knew I had to use it sometime.) Lastly, let a brotha know if you like it. Thanx to Rageous for the hosting. peace, Z
and here’s the tracklist.
