Good lordy it is another podcast in my series. Mikey Lambe will be amazed at my industry, I would imagine. ANYWAY, this mix brings you the mad skills of my very good friend Louis “as in ‘Juan’, but not actually related” Atkins, resident of Bethnal Green, native of Copacabana, Rio, ‘Brasil’ (sic, and who am I to argue…) - all round good chap and ace techno/electro producer and DJ. Funnily enough, and quite meta, I am blogging this podcast from Louis’ room, on Louis’ computer, which has a ‘Brasilian’ keyboard, so if my punctuation goes a bit pear-shaped, that’s why. Louis is LITERALLY doing a mix for, me, live, while I blog about his mix which is the feature of this podcast. See: It went meta… did you see where it did that? (Option-W to do a question mark. How completely intuitive. ANYWAY…) ANYWAY. Here is the set list for the mix you are about to download and then listen to, somewhat slack-jawed at it’s amazingness.

There, isn’t that awesome-sounding?

Then you will LITERALLY receive a hot injection of ”fresh’ new ‘beats’ approximately every week, delivered straight to your iTunes, without you having to lift so much as a finger, literally.

When we were in Vancouver over the summer we saw this amazing VW Beetle “art car” parked just off Robson St…

Not only was it totally encrusted with what must have been 20 years accretion of trinkets, baubles, geegaws, dolls, deities, slogans, flags, tchotchkes, canadiana, ephemera and assorted miscellaneous crap…

…It also featured a fairy grotto in the back seat area complete with working water fountain and tinkling ambient music. Awesome….pass the bong, dude.

I have just upgraded to Wordpress 2.3 which was made literally as simple as clicking a button by my fine hosts, dreamhost. Most everything seems to have gone smoothly, but you may notice that a few bits and bobs have disappeared from the sidebar for the time being. These will return soon, in addition to a cornucopia of new goodies - in fact I’ve gone for a three-column layout so I can fit loads more crap functionality onto the blog.
Adding lots of pointless blog bling (’blong’? - maybe not…) is made trivially easy as I am using the most excellent K2 theme which, along with being super-easy to customize (thanks to the ’styles’ features which allows you to create a new stylesheet which overrides the k2 defaults without touching the core files) and ‘pimp out’ (thanks to the kick-ass k2-sidebar manager which lets you drag-and-drop modules into the sidebars, set which pages they appear on, and more - including running PHP scripts inside the page) also features some rather nifty , jquery-powered AJAX-y functionality - check out the advanced search or click the ‘«older’ link at top of page for two examples.

OK, here we go. Although I love techno music I have never tried my hand at creating my own mixes, and realistically, I probably never will. Luckily, I have lots of talented DJ type friends who can do that kind of thing for me. So this is the first in a fairly regular series of podcasts where I will be piggybacking on the talent of these friends in order to bask in their reflected glory, and hopefully expose them to a wider audience. Because they really are very good, all of them. As I’m sure you will agree once you check out their mixes.
First up is DJ Omar - aka Ole Martin Vilberg from Oslo, Norway, who has recently done not one, nor even two, but THREE marvellous, acid tinged hour long excursions to a happy techno place. I met Ole Martin and his equally lovely partner Tonje in the T Bar in London’s fashionable/skanky Shoreditch - we hit it off and spent a fantastic night dancing exuberantly, shrieking “SKRAEVSYLTE” (google it…) at the top of our lungs and generally being quite silly.
Anyway, turns out he an ace DJ. And to prove it, I’m going to start this whole podcast series with his three recent mixes. I spoil you, I really do. First up is ‘The Sirup Mix‘ ‘I Lick Your Spine’.
[Update - Ole Martin mislabelled the mixes but now we got it straight, and we also have track listings! If you want to rename your MP3s - assuming you downloaded them, The Sirup Mix is actually I Lick Your Spine, and what WAS I Lick Your Spine is Actually ‘In The Moog For Love’. Glad we cleared that up…]
Tracklisting:
- Luciano – Fourges Et Sabres
- Let’s Go Outside – I’ll Lick Your Spine (Repeat Repeat rmx)
- Ben Westbeech – Hang Around (Karizma rmx)
- Rework – Love Love Love Yeah (Chloè rmx)
- Wouldbenice – One Cell
- Jurgen Paape – Nord
- Larsson - Off Voices
- Shonky – Olympia
- Dusty Kid – Kore
- Shane Berry – Fillertet 2 (Gabriel Ananda rmx)
