A GLIPSE WITHIN/my house by night

I'll share with you a glimpse into my world...actually, it's my place! I love this 2 bed room minimalistic slice of heaven.  Decorated with large album posters, self made art and raw, hacked furniture...I live in an cool ambient lit industrial space. One of my favorite pieces in the Akai GX 27OD-SS reel to reel given to me courtesy of my dad. 

I'm not saying that Amanda and I are different, but I feel like every time I walk into her place I should hand her a ticket to which she tears the bottom, hands it back to me and tells me to enjoy the show. It's not much of a home...I go from room to room taking pics with my smartphone only to return to my friends and tell them how great the show was.

So, if you would like to see the complete opposite of my place...follow the link below:

I know this is only a glimpse of my place...maybe later I'll show the rest of it.

#THE DARK SIDE OF '93/ new mixcrate upload

I have been listening to some old school drum and bass...I love this stuff and it never gets old. So, I have compiled a few tunes in a set that take me back to when it was about samples, distorted basslines and chopped up beats. This is where it all started...ENJOY! 

WARNING: This is not for the faint of heart. Do not listen to this mix if you have an electronic implanted medical device of any kind such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump or if you are pregnant.

IndiFUEL/mixcould set

There's only a few days left before I board a plane to Iceland.  I can only think about the years that have gone by with this moment being only a thought in my mind. I think back to that crucial moment that I have never forgotten- Staring at a TV screen in the late hours of the night at an image of a giant stuffed teddy bear trolling through the woods while being tracked by a hunter who it later kills.  And there it was, I was entranced by my first exposure to Björk. An artist that brought a sound that I had never heard before . Her voice is as mesmerizing as the construction of her songs and the images in her videos. This was my first exposure to Iceland during a pivotal time in music. It also began a growing need to visit the country that continues to bring forth such amazing talent to the music industry.

So here's my contribution to Iceland a country that has a monumental influence in my expanding growth of musical culture.  I present you with a mix that draws upon the sounds of independent artists that inspire me the same way Björk did so many years ago.  It leans a bit more to the likes of Bondax, but this duo from across the pond forces you to do one thing...listen. ENJOY!

...P.S. Icelanders. If you see me, say 'Hi!' Let's have a drink.

THEY USED TO BE CLASSICS.../mixcloud set

Lately I have been thinking a lot about classics...or just what the word vintage is. I think it's due to my latest obsession, which happens to be working on my bike. I think a lot about what I want it to look like and it was fun finally getting it back on the road. She's not 100%, but she's close. So here is a new set that I've posted on Mixcloud. I wanted to go back to some old tracks that were staples back in the day...Sure the late 90's may not be back in the day, but it does seem like long ago. So, here's to you 98.1FM and Baby D! Classic tracks that I still love today (mixed in with a bit of today, of course).  ENJOY!
