Last week\u2019s Nerdcore show got a tremendous amount of responses from listeners, I\u2019m pleased to say!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m really proud of that episode because first of all, it was a great show and, secondly, it is the start of the slow mutation that will occur on solipsistic NATION<\/b>.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of electronic music podcasts I enjoy but there are aspects of those shows that frustrate me. Some shows only play a few minutes of a song before moving on to the next song, often abruptly. I don\u2019t know if the hosts of those podcasts do that because of time constraints or licensing agreements but it bugs the hell out of me! Other podcasts have a lot of inane banter. If it\u2019s not entertaining or informative then shut the hell up so I can listen to the music, which is why I wanted to listen to their show in the first place. Still other podcasters have the never ending, obligatory shout-outs and who and where they\u2019re representin\u2019. I know that comes from a long tradition but it drives me crazy because after a short while it ceases to mean anything to me.<\/p>\n
There\u2019ll be some banter on solipsistic NATION<\/b> but it will be kept to a bare minimum. There will be interviews on solipsistic NATION<\/b> but they\u2019ll be brief. There might even be the odd shout-out but again, no more than is necessary.<\/p>\n
Speaking of which, today\u2019s show features an interview guest DJ Eve Falcon<\/a>. I interviewed<\/a> Eve on the small WORLD<\/a> podcast and I knew that when I relaunched solipsistic NATION<\/b> that I wanted her to be a guest on the show. Eve was kind enough to oblige as well as treating us to her Fast Forward mix<\/a>.<\/p>\n Progressive house, along with trance, has been the main source of the superstar-DJ phenomenon of late. And, to be sure, it\u2019s been a boys\u2019 club. Women are found on vocals, backstage, and behind industry desks, but rarely do they get the spotlight at the biggest clubs. Those who have broken through \u2013 DJ Irene, Sandra Collins, DJ Rap \u2013 seem to have worked extra hard to prove they can rock a party with the best of them. Now a newer generation of female DJs is following up, plowing through the negatory politics of the scene to get a chance to shine. Brooklyn-bred, L.A.-based Eve Falcon, a talented prog-house DJ and vocalist, has been on a mission for the last five years, taking on global gigs and getting her voice and production (on \u201cKnow It All\u201d with Desert Sol) out front. Her momentous progressive-house and steely breakbeat sound is the pulse of now. Feel her freshen up the big room Saturday at Avalon.<\/p>\n -Citybeat (Los Angeles) September \u201905 \u2013 by Dennis Romero. Click here<\/a> to see the article.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
