Today on solipsistic NATION<\/b> we\u2019re going to listen to select tracks from CRL Studios<\/a> and talk with the label\u2019s founder, James Church<\/a>. You may be more familiar with him as Lucidstatic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re new to solipsistic NATION<\/b> you might be under the impression from last week\u2019s<\/a> and today\u2019s show that all I play is IDM and industrial, and you\u2019d be wrong. I play the best from all genres of electronic music.<\/p>\n\n

It just so happens that a few months ago I had Fariz Suliman from Dope Records<\/a> on the show<\/a>. He raved about CRL Studios. Up to that point I had know about Lucidstatic but I had never made the connection that he also ran a label, and once I started listening to tracks from CRL Studios I knew I had to have him on solipsistic NATION<\/b> to showcase his label. The music is just that great!<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s just coincidence I scheduled Dope Records recording artist, Tokee, and today\u2019s show featuring CRL Studios, back to back.<\/p>\n\n

Today\u2019s mix was lovingly crafted by Chris Lacroix, AKA, DJ Siborg<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Funny thing about the mix. Behind the scenes I listen to a lot<\/i> of music in order to present to you the very best in electronic music. I do a lot of this on the go so I\u2019m constantly pulling out my iPhone and rating and noting songs that I might play in future editions of solipsistic NATION<\/b>. Whenever I played DJ Siborg\u2019s mix I\u2019d get lost in the music and get so excited about what I was listening to that I\u2019d pull out my phone to rate the track I\u2019m listening to and realize \u201cOh, right, right<\/i>, this is a mix, not an individual track.\u201d That\u2019s how I knew this was a great mix and I\u2019m thrilled to share it with you!<\/p>\n\n

Before I get out of Dodge, I want to apologize if I sounded kind of like a douche bag on last week\u2019s show for talking about how quickly solipsistic NATION<\/b> is growing. I\u2019m just just excited. I always thought there was a larger audience for the show and it\u2019s gratifying to see how many people are downloading solipsistic NATION<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n

Oh, and, uh, we\u2019re at 342,116 downloads for January so far. Just in case you were wondering.<\/p>\n\n

Look, I realize that Pete Tong<\/a> or Ti\u00ebsto<\/a> probably get over 342,000 downloads a week for their podcasts. But I\u2019m not them and I do a very different kind of show and 342,000 downloads is a big number for me. Bigger than I ever expected. So let\u2019s keep this thing going, tell a friend, tell a stranger about the show.<\/p>\n\n

I\u2019ll make it worth your while. Join us again next for next week\u2019s mega-ultra-awesome show featuring Mark Johnson from Zite<\/a>, a beautiful news aggregator that\u2019s become essential in producing this show! We\u2019ll also talk with Julian Sartorius<\/a> about his Beat Diary<\/a><\/i> project! We\u2019ll chat with _TLR_<\/a> and Johann Ess<\/a> about their new albums they just released! We\u2019ll also celebrate King Deluxe<\/a>\u2018s two year anniversary and The Centrifuge<\/a> and Tympanik Audio<\/a>\u2018s five year anniversaries!<\/p>\n\n

Whew. I think I just burned through my exclamation point quota for 2013.<\/p>\n\n
