One of my goals for the second year of solipsistic NATION<\/b> was to release more shows featuring live performances of electronic music. I\u2019ve been blessed with some fantastic sets<\/a> by Robert Rich<\/a>, Hol Baumann<\/a> and and select tracks by artists recorded by the Dub Beautiful Collective<\/a>. In the next few months you can expect to hear live shows from Dr. Toast<\/a> and DJ Olive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s solipsistic NATION<\/b> features a live performance by Nalepa<\/a>, recorded by the Dub beautiful Collective in 2005.<\/p>\n

Despite my best efforts, Nalepa\u2019s comes up a lot on solipsistic NATION<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Five years ago I made a resolution not play a particular artists too often and never to play one of their songs more than once on my radio program. While I could do a two hour show dedicated to Meat Beat Manifesto<\/a> or playing songs by Massive Attack<\/a> over and over again I wanted to force myself to be more stringent on what songs would make it to my playlists. If I were going to play \u201cNephatiti\u201d by 808 State<\/a>, for example, I\u2019d better be sure it was worth it because it would be a while before I played 808 State again and \u201cNephatiti\u201d was never to be played on the show again.<\/p>\n

I wanted to keep the show lean and fresh. When I relaunched solipsistic NATION<\/b> as a once a week, one hour podcast, there was even less reason to repeat artists or songs. And yet Steve\u2019s name keeps popping up.<\/p>\n

The reason for that is because Steve\u2019s an amazingly great musician. His stuff is damn wonderful that as try as I might, Steve\u2019s music keeps creeping it\u2019s way into the shows.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m delighted to present to you a live performance by Nalepa as well two tracks from collaborative efforts Steve is working on with The FMs<\/a> and Bass Science<\/a>. And you can be sure I\u2019ll be playing more of Nalepa\u2019s music on the podcast in the future.<\/p>\n
