Hi folks, got a new mix of all my fave up-to-the-minute juke – bassline – ghetto – step – sleaze – rave – core nonsense. Lots of exclusive / upfront stuff from myself, my label-mates, and some other assorted pals. (PS to said label-mates & pals–thanks!)
Oh, and this is really, profoundly not-safe-for-work in a couple of parts, so be forewarned.

Last month I DJed the Sublow Bounce party in Milwaukee. It was a blast and the kind folks who put it together also recorded my set. I’m not sure weather I should be happy about that or not ’cause it features drunken mixing and Serato glitching when folks were jumping up and down on the wood floors of the barn-like club. The fact that folks were jumping though suggests that in their drunken state they thought the mix was good. The moral of the story is get drunk and listen to this mix.

For those of you who haven’t been following this part of Lisbon’s music scene, Kuduro is a musical style that was born in Angola in the early ’90s. The Lisbon branch of Kuduro — Lisboeta — has become a high-energy form of electronic-dance-music that’s now breaking into the mainstream. The popular kuduro band Buraka Som Sistema is in the Portuguese pop charts and has videos on MTV there.
I was recently invited to spin-up a set over at Northwestern University’s radio station; WNUR 89.3 FM. My man Jeekoos runs the Part Time Suckers (PTS) radio show there and diligently records the guest DJ sets. He’s got what seems like hundreds of them archived on his website.
Their show tends to be dubstep-centric — PTS member, Searchl1te rocked a set with Zulu at the Bass Goes Boom party last week, opening for Hatcha and Benga — but those who know me know that I have trouble sticking within genres, so my set is all over the place. I did however, stick within a 135 – 155 BPM range and the outcome is a blend of kuduro, blouse, bashment, dubstep, 2-step, boston-bounce, bmore-club, mashup, grime, acid, juke, ’80s, and more:
