The first Friday of each month I feature a live set<\/a> from an electronic musician. But here\u2019s the thing, I\u2019m not sure today\u2019s show is actually a live set.<\/p>\n

Let me explain.<\/p>\n

A few months back I asked Paul D. Miller (AKA DJ Spooky, That Subliminal Kid<\/a>) if he had a recording of one of his concerts I could play on the show. Or maybe I asked him if he\u2019s like to be a guest DJ<\/a> on solipsistic NATION<\/b>. I can\u2019t exactly recall. Like I said, it\u2019s been a couple of months.<\/p>\n

This much I know: Paul sent me a mix that he played in Sudan and\/or<\/i> he made with his iPhone app<\/a>. So is it live? I don\u2019t know but I\u2019m going to roll with it because it\u2019s pretty awesome!<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s talk about Paul.<\/p>\n

Paul is a is a turntablist, a producer and an author who has pretty much been part of my world since I first embraced electronic music back in the 90s back when he was part of the Illbient<\/a> scene. Since then Paul has popped up on my radar again and again with his album and his remixes (my personal favorites are the remixes he has done for the Red Hot<\/a> series).<\/p>\n

As I mentioned, Paul is also an author and has written Rhythm Science (Mediaworks Pamphlets)<\/a><\/i> and was the editor of Sound Unbound: Sampling Digital Music and Culture<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n

Paul is also a professor of music mediated art at the European Graduate School<\/a> where he co-teaches with Michael Schmidt Intensive Summer Seminars in Saas-Fee, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

There is much, much more to Paul and will go over Paul\u2019s multifaceted background when I have him back on solipsistic NATION<\/b> to talk about Sound Unbound: Sampling Digital Music and Culture<\/i>. In the meantime, enjoy today\u2019s show, whether it\u2019s live or not!<\/p>\n

Join us again next week I\u2019ll be showcasing music from Jeronoa Fruits Recordings<\/a>. If you\u2019re into drum and bass you\u2019re going to love next week\u2019s show!<\/p>\n
