2002ish Glitch Mix

download

Recorded around the same time as the Beats and Melodies mix. I think I actually did this one first, and it was the first mix I ever recorded where I decided not to try and beatmatch anything. I ended up playing a bunch of my weirdest records, which also turned out to be quite soulful in a glitchy sort of way. Lots of Morr Music, City Centre Offices. I really like this stuff. That Hermann & Kleine tune just takes off!

Tracklist
Anthony Rother - ?? (some remix) (??)
Phonecia - Currents (220v Offshore) (Morr Music)
??
Christian Kleine - Behind Time (City Centre Offices)
Manual - Velvet Sunset (Morr Music)

Recorded at Aesoteric at the Velvet Lounge. One of the more 'electronic' sounding nights (as opposed to jazz, noise, or hiphop).

No tracklist for this one, sorry.

2003 Dave Clark + Marc Allen @ Aesoteric 15 April 2004

download

The last half of Marc's set, and most of mine, recorded at Aesoteric at the Velvet Lounge. The changeover from Marc to myself is at the end of Jaylib and the start of some instrumental hip hop. Marc played stuff from Captain Comatose and the Herbert Big Band, I played stuff from Prefuse73, Rednose Distrikt and Ammoncontact.

2005ish Quantum Lounge Radio

download part 1
download part 2

Nic Tan ran an internet radio station in Perth for a while, called the Quantum Lounge. It's now defunct, but it was awesome, with sets from many Perth DJs of all sorts of musical tastes, and also music from DJs from around the world. I did a massive two hour set of my favourite music, which is mostly soulful glitchy electronic stuff. And then I lost the second CD. If anyone has this, let me know. I want it. Badly.

UPDATE: A kind soul named Bronwyn has found the second CD. Bless her!
