Episode 3: Modern Times Mix [Summer 2004]

electronicons — Sun, 06 Aug 2006 02:25:20 GMT

A digital recreation of a 2 year old mix done for Modern Times, our short lived sister show on Ithaca's 92 WICB (co-hosted with goth/industrial dj, DJ Draven). Originally done live in the studio on turntables, I recently re-discovered the playlist and remembered how much I loved doing this mix and how I wish it was recorded. A snapshot of what I was listening to in the summer of 2004. Sadly, Merck records, the label that supplied two of the tracks for this mix is soon closing down shop. I recommend that anyone who listens to this mix head over to m3rck.net and buy all of their remaining stock. A truly unique collection of artists that will be missed. Also support the other artists and labels in this mix by purchasing their cds/lps/12"s/etc.

He brings us an exclusive collection of new and old tracks remixed with plenty of acid flavoring. Rusuden has recorded for SonicTerror, Terminal Dusk and Soho Six. Make sure you pick up his latest album, "Warm Human Antennae".

Episode 1: Acid 1985-2006

electronicons — Sat, 15 Jul 2006 03:12:44 GMT

Episode One: Acid 1985-2006 In the 20 plus years since its conception, acid’s presence in electronic music has been nothing short of ubiquitous. Almost every memorable artist has used Roland’s famous TB-303 computer controlled bassline. If you are not familiar with the instrument, basically Roland created a box in the early 1980s that would allow performers to program basslines to accompany them. Unfortunately it was expensive, a pain in the ass to program and didn’t really sound like a bass. Throughout the decade, as people began dumping these for well below what they were originally sold for, other producers began to pick them up and make sounds with them that were not meant to be heard. Through the 90s, the use of the instrument expanded from Chicago to around the world and with the expansion brought new ways of looking at the mysterious squealchy sound. The goal of this podcast was to show the evolution of the sound over the years. Make sure you check out electronicons.com for more information
