This week on solipsistic NATION<\/b> our guests are Bassnectar<\/a>, Kush Arora<\/a>, Doubleclick<\/a> of Two Fingers<\/a> and Great Scott<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This show came together in an unexpected way. Originally I was just pulling together songs that I liked that I thought would work together nicely in a mix. But as I started gathering the songs I started noting all sorts of connections. For example, Nibu has MC\u2019d on tracks for both Great Scott and Bassnectar. Also, this month Bassnectar and Kush Arora did a show together in Portland. After some consideration I decided to focus on these artist and ignore the rest of the tracks I had gathered for the mix and as I interviewed them even more connections became apparent. Funny how these things work out.<\/p>\n

A few notes.<\/p>\n

If you like Bassnectar\u2019s music (and really, how can you not?) then you\u2019ll enjoy his appearances on the The Newest In New!<\/a> and Koyaanisqatsi<\/a> editions of solipsistic NATION<\/b>. Kush Arora has appeared on the Year One<\/a> and Record Label Records<\/a> editions of solipsistic NATION<\/b>. While this is the first time I\u2019ve had the pleasure of talking with Doubleclick I have had Amon Tobin<\/a>, the other half of Two Fingers, for the Amon Tobin<\/a> and Amon Tobin, Live<\/a> editions of solipsistic NATION<\/b>. This is also Great Scott\u2019s first appearance on the show but you listen to more music from his label on the Muti Music<\/a> edition of solipsistic NATION<\/b>.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this week\u2019s show as much as I did putting it together because I had a blast! Oh, and be sure to check out the related videos below.<\/p>\n
