monday moods: mixes

today seems like a fine time to talk mixes. as usual there are plenty of good ones going around, so here's just a few for now, and expect another list tomorrow...

m50, ashina, andrew solomon - where am i now release party here's a good place to start. this took place over the last weekend here in chicago. the reason for celebration: m50's new album as area. all three dj's - andrew, ashina, and m50 - played very nice sets, and it looks like that memorable night is available for stream or download at m50's website. check the tracklist for his set if necessary: mike parker, speedy j, convextion, oh my! and if you need more updates on m50, why not follow his facebook page? and if you're looking for andrew's opening set, click here.

electric indigo - pomcast 03 here's some high-powered stuff from austrian veteran electric indigo. this one includes tracks from nax_acid and claudio prc (on the recent aconito twelve inch, reviewed here at RA!) and an excellent pair of recent orphx remixes (one pulled from the recent zooloft record), along with music from dadub, silent servant, cassegrain, etc. berlin heads take note: electric indigo will play at 'all you need is ears' with, among others, peter van hoesen, dasha rush and milton bradley at tresor late next month.

milton bradley - smoke machine podcast 039 speaking of milton bradley, a personal favorite here at smilecoldanatomy... his studio mixes are always a cinematic experience, as evidenced by this recent session for smoke machine, which ranges from dark ambiance into the best sorts of psychedelic, frantic techno. tracks from obtane, jeff pietro, claudio prc... do it to it!

developer - RA podcast 302 check out the brand new RA 'cast from LA techno dj developer. if you're still recovering from dj harvey's gnarly RA.300 mix - which invited a bunch of bizarre commentary and which i think is definitely worth a listen or three - this should be a good cure. and look out for a review of his brand new record on semantica...

that will be all for now. stay tuned for more tips tomorrow!

midpoint 2011

hello all! and thanks to those who patiently tuned in to my set on rts.fm last week ... i started a bit late and was preparing for a 2-hour set, but with approval from my gracious host oleg, i decided to dig deeper and play for three hours... i hope to have an mp3 recording of my set from the site soon and i'll be sure to share it with everyone!

in a related matter, my friend andrew solomon also has a spot later today at the rts.fm studio here in chicago - same starting time as my set last week, 2pm central (US). check out the rts.fm link here, and the facebook event page here. furthermore, andrew will be playing with m50 (for free!) at downtown bar and lounge tomorrow/friday night... not much you need to know about that party, but click through to the RA event for more info.

and, in more anatomy-associated news:

XHIN DEBUT US MINI-TOUR: LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, NEW YORK huzzah! another anatomy mixer makes it stateside. unfortunately no chicago date, but i hope the heads in california (this weekend) and nyc (next friday) give xhin a warm welcome for his first appearances in the country. more precise details at xhin's RA page. he's also returned to stroboscopic vinyl, with a track on SA's 10th wax release. give it a peak here.

NEW FORWARD STRATEGY GROUP VINYL COMING SOON smear and patrick walker join forces with some corporate affiliates for a new vinyl release on dynamic reflection. find the rest of the revealed details here and stay tuned... go FSG!

NEW ZOOLOFT VINYL IN STORES another update from the zooloft collective: 00G, the dark thoughts of fate's manufacturer, is out now on delicious vinyl and probably at a store 'near' you - for example, at juno. kudos to giorgio, obtane and milton bradley for a tasteful dose of darkness and as usual, zoom to the zooloft blog for more dystopian audio/video.


okay, that's all for now. coming soon: july top 10 chart, more record discussion and yes, finally... anatomy 15!
