A few week’s back I released the 100th episode of solipsistic NATION and naturally I took stock of where the show has been. Almost right from the start I’ve been interviewing musicians and record labels or having guest DJs on the show. At first it happened once or twice a month but at some point that became the focus of the show. I’m not complaining, mind you, but it did mean that I was more of a host than a DJ, and I like being a DJ.
Another consequence is that all the new music that comes my way piles up because I can only play so much of it each month. That’s frustrating because while I like the interview aspect of the show I feel like I’m doing you a disservice by not keeping you up to date on what’s new in the electronic music scene. I’ve decided to try and strike a balance and get back to being a DJ more than I have in the last year.
This August is pretty cool because there are five Friday’s in the month, giving me even more opportunities to spin you some new tunes.
On today’s show I’ve got some…hell, I don’t what to call it. Is it Bitpop? Electro? House? Disco? All of the above? Whatever the case, it’s a genre I don’t listen to or play a lot of. But I don’t know why not because it’s a lot of fun and makes me want to dance. And I’m one of those guy’s who doesn’t dance.
Anyway, I’m glad I’m making an effort to actively be more of a DJ on the show because there’s a lot of genres of electronic music I haven’t even got around to yet. So enjoy this week’s show!
