Having worked the mic previously with a huge roster of producers, including Meat Beat Manifesto, Stereotyp and Ghislain Poirier, Collage is now producing his own experimental/ragga/hiphop beats.

Millions of people are going to hear you crooning the chorus to "Hollywood Divorce" and remark to themselves, "Now there's a man who is constantly re-inventing himself, a real original". Sadly only very few are going to recognize that, in fact, you have totally bitten the vocal style of Baby Dayliner, who is the real original.

Simon's productions as 'peak:shift' and his record label Nurture were pretty influential on my taste in music about five years ago.

I've just been too busy playing music to blog about it. So... a rundown of what's been happening on Sounding Depth: Nordic Soul of Decibel fame dropped into the studio to drop the the fresh tech bombs. Splinters played a live set of laptop techno which was top notch. And all the while I've been making some tasty selections.

He did a cool hybrid DJ/live thing. He started out with a digitally mixed DJ set of some mysterious tracks from a collaboration he's working on, and slowly added live ambient elements. Eventually he dropped out the pre-made tracks all together and was performing live ambient music. Very cool.

It ran the gamut from decades old Miami soul, pastoral ambiance, clicky minimalism, reggae, hip-hop, dance-punk, dub and even a waltz thrown in for good measure._______I'm psyched for the next month of shows, there's some quality heat coming through the studio.

This week I played a bunch of freshies from Aotearoa, mainly all in the hip-hop/soul/funk vein, with a little more IDMish stuff at the end there.

I started listening to electronic music back in the early 90s, with a
major introduction being the Trance Europe Express series. I think my
exploration of mind altering substances helped hook me into the music.
I started to go to warehouse and outdoor parties, and then in 1997 after

Last weekend Nordic Soul gave an extended jam off the Apple, true to form with no apparent boundaries. And just yesterday Justin B and DJ Saigon bleeped the decks in a most grooveladen manner. Nice to hear Deepchord 16 in there.

Terso strung together a brilliantly diverse array of his own productions. Pretty gotdang impressive, and sounding levels above his previous appearance on the show earlier in the year.

Terso is coming in with laptop in hand to serenade us with some of his latest creations. He's been working hard on getting material together for an album for Thermal Recordings, so the quality here is going to be top notch. Also, Misha is going to be dropping in to play some of her more chill repertoire, that she doesn't get to play at all Boyd Mainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10064109033303952005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339929.post-1066326587057245642003-10-16T10:49:00.000-07:002003-10-23T14:44:11.830-07:00Wowee.

This is a good thing, as it will allow much more room for all of our fantastic guests. So, I thought I'd go out with a bang, and show the artists of the Pacific Northwest the props they deserve.

Back on air, and this very Monday I will be host to some absolute laptop madness from The Absolute Madman. He's making the journey from the South Sound to bring you some hip-hop breaks influenced live tricknology. In his honor I'll be playing a few of my slower cuts, jamming the phatter end of the collection.

What a night. Iteration 3, Exit Loop, was a blast. The Artificial Limb Company was the perfect venue, the crowd was surprisingly big, and had a great vibe, and, most importantly, the music was killer. Inside, Bruno and Aron torched the already sweaty crowd with a wide range of all things techno, from abstract glitchyness, to almost proggy tranceyness (Sorry guys, but I swear there's an Boyd Mainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10064109033303952005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339929.post-1058381135872644332003-07-16T11:45:00.000-07:002003-07-16T11:45:35.863-07:00Here's a link to an mp3 of Bruno Pronsato's brilliant .soundingdepth. appearance.

Back on the air today after the summer break. New timeslot. Due to a late change I will be without a guest today, but never fear - I'll be gentle to ya for the full two hours.

Kris Moon's set this morning was tight. He surprised me, and perhaps you too, with some deepness of the dubwise variety. He namechecked Rhythm and Sound and Maurizio as influences so, if you didn't hear it, at least you might get the picture of what you missed out on. Before Kris played, I had a nice little set of tuffer than usual tracks, and I was proud to play quite a lot of local Boyd Mainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10064109033303952005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339929.post-945186542003-05-17T18:48:00.000-07:002003-05-17T18:48:11.520-07:00Had a great show this morning, despite a killer hangover.

About 50 minutes of house music, concluded with a live reconstruction of a sort of trip-hop track that he and 2620 wrote.
