Release a twilight ebb and flow of sound with this recently mixed jam, blending some old favorites with some new cuts. From ambient, to the beats, and back. Playlist in mix metadata.

This one has a bit of holiday spirit. It's over a month late, but it's still good, it's still good.

We cast our net wide this time, criss-crossing various strains of music from around the world and blending traditional ethnic elements with deep contemporary structure. Original broadcast on WNUR-FM 89.3 Halloween weekend 2007. Trace the groove: Detroit - Tokyo - Copenhagen - Istanbul - Casablanca - Berlin - Amsterdam - London

It's out of the starting block with a glitched-out broken beat rarity from '96, moving into more serious 4-on-the-floor rhythms, electro + robot pop, and with a momentary lapse into historic Chicago acid simulations. This one finishes off with a pleasant, tropical aftertaste.

Blast off on a lounge-inflected world tour with this short mix which takes you from Tokyo to Honolulu, through Chicago and New York. This mix comes from my nights of spinning at a sushi bar downtown, a virtual soundwalk containing music and environmental sounds.

Howler monkeys are among the loudest creatures in the new world. Despite their small size (up to 20 pounds), their calls can be heard several miles through dense tropical forest due to an enlarged hyoid bone in their necks. These herbivores are quite social and prefer to travel in groups of a dozen or so. It is anticipated that some of the endangered species of howlers will become extinct in our lifetime. You can categorize their howling sessions into different groups, depending on the time of day or their moods. This example demonstrates the most drone-like mode, and occurred during a lazy afternoon shortly before a heavy rain.
