A few week\u2019s back I released the 100th episode of solipsistic NATION<\/b> and naturally I took stock of where the show has been. Almost right from the start I\u2019ve 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\u2019m not complaining, mind you, but it did mean that I was more of a host than a DJ, and I like being a DJ.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s frustrating because while I like the interview aspect of the show I feel like I\u2019m doing you a disservice by not keeping you up to date on what\u2019s new in the electronic music scene. I\u2019ve decided to try and strike a balance and get back to being a DJ more than I have in the last year.<\/p>\n
This August is pretty cool because there are five Friday\u2019s in the month, giving me even more opportunities to spin you some new tunes.<\/p>\n
On today\u2019s show I\u2019ve got some\u2026hell, I don\u2019t what to call it. Is it Bitpop? Electro? House? Disco? All of the above? Whatever the case, it\u2019s a genre I don\u2019t listen to or play a lot of. But I don\u2019t know why not because it\u2019s a lot of fun and makes me want to dance. And I\u2019m one of those guy\u2019s who doesn\u2019t dance.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I\u2019m glad I\u2019m making an effort to actively be more of a DJ on the show because there\u2019s a lot of genres of electronic music I haven\u2019t even got around to yet. So enjoy this week\u2019s show!<\/p>\n
