This track’s about 18 years old, one of my earliest Q-BAM efforts. It’s based around three really blatant samples, two of which meshed together perfectly after a bit of noticeable slowing down (in the case of one sample) and speeding up (in the case of the other). That’s also me doing some effected turntable ‘scratching.’ I heard this played in the chill-out room of a club once, the DJ spinning the record at 45 RPM, turning it into a breakbeat track with a normal pitched vocal. Anyway, a bit of a melancholy stoner vibe going on here … this originally appeared on the Eighth Dimension Records compilation Mixed Emotions which came out in 1995.
Hip yourself to the SOUNDS OF NOW with the latest Invisible Airwaves radio program, bursting forth from the clandestine 8DLabs located somewhere beneath the neon coral reef. “Aha!” you may proclaim, upon discovering that the first half of this mix previously appeared as part of 5 Magazine’s New Mix Monday series. But, fret not … the following portion is all new and mysterious and somewhat puzzling, though its evocative beat vibrations should allow a pleasant head-nodding session to commence as requested. Stop … track list! :

A bit of spring cleaning here at the Invisible HQ as we work in tunes that we’ve been meaning to include over the past several months, mingling with a few brand new goodies and qualifying contenders. This makes for quite an eclectic DJ mix and, indeed, one that starts at a speedy pace, gradually descending to a sexy stomp. But somehow the spirit of the Airwaves manages to keep things from flying off the handle and, after a rocky prognosis, this mix turned into a pleasurable couple hours of top notch tunes and carousing beats. Behold the track list:
The Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble – Pretend – !K7 Records New Young Pony Club – Dub Cherie – Tummy Touch Findlay Brown – Promised Land (Pilooski Edit) – Record Makers Hanssen – Deliverables – Innerflight Hackman – Agree To Disagree – PTN Trevor Loveys feat.

Yee-haw! We’ve finally lassoed the latest round-up of top tunes for another stop on the Invisible Airwaves rodeo tour. Loads of great music stampeded before our ear-holes this month, and you’ll find familiar names locking horns with the unfamiliar within this beefy mix. Grab yr boots and get ready for the disco hoedown! Ugh. OK. I really doubt I can keep this ridiculous rodeo theme going for much longer so, without further delay, here’s this month’s action packed track list:

Recently Scott Hardkiss let me hear a remix he recorded for the Brooklyn-based psychedelic rock combo The Veda Rays. I was quite taken aback at how cool it was, and loved how the gentle, wistful vocal refrain interacted with Scott’s rhythm-scape. However, I was hearing the song as more like a dream, where the hypnotic groove beckoned the listener into the track, only to be greeted by the vocal at the halfway mark. So I constructed this re-edit of Scott’s remix where the vocal is teased (and spaced out a bit) before it finally makes its appearance. Check it out here:
I can’t take a lot of credit as pretty much everything you’re hearing is that of either The Veda Rays or Scott Hardkiss. I just did some re-arranging and extra echoey bits. That said, I’m pretty stoked about this cut and I’ve been having a lot of fun including it in my dreamier DJ sets. It’s available from Beatport right now.
Let’s be clear. Traversing mountainous landscapes through foreboding passageways is no comfortable feat, especially with eye-riddled crags watching one’s every move. Easily emerging to the other side is a goal often thwarted by rockslides, chasms, and rushing waters contaminated with noxious poisons. To be fleet of foot, agile in the face of adversity, is indeed paramount. Now, with that nonsense out of the way, I welcome you to February’s Invisible Airwaves mix show. Loads of new artists (at least new to me) are in this month’s playlist, and the energy level has been ramped up a bit for some housier doings. Some of this might sound a little crazy. I’ve got a lot on my mind, and this mix has the aura of bouncy brainwaves. Don’t be scared … I think you’ll like it. Here’s the playlist:
Roberto Bardini – Hate Me (Muteoscillator Fairy Tall Remix) – Exprezoo Zwicker feat. Olivera Stanimirov – Oddity (Pilooski Remix) – Compost Black Label Jay Shepheard & Matthew Burton – Liberal Zee – Retrofit Gazeebo – Bedroom Bullies (Sleazy McQueen Remix) – Gazeebo International Billy W – Intuition – Nordic Trax Finn Bell – Socialight – Assembly Records Washerman – Basement Dub – Drumpoet Community Deepeaters – Crazy Dancers – Loudeast Records Zee & Eli – Mind Games – Flumo Recordings Lopezhouse – Midnight In Stambul – Soundz LawnChair Generals – Don’t Stop (Looks Like Dub) – Lazy Days Recordings Roxy Music – Love Is The Drug (Todd Terje Disco Dub) – Virgin Space Ranger – Nothing’s Wrong – Lovemonk Aikhi – Samarkand – Is It Balearic..? Poussez – Hairy Jaw – 3am Recordings Proviant Audio – Slutten Pa Alt (Flash Atkins Mix) – Paper Recordings OOFT! – Billy – Foto Recordings The M.E.B. – M5-M6 (Brennan Green Remix) – Let’s Play House Records Bocca Grande – Even If (Morning Factory Remix) – Rebirth The Veda Rays – All Your Pretty Fates (Q-Burns Abstract Message Edit of Scott Hardkiss Remix) – God Within

Last night’s Replicated art show at The Falcon in Orlando was a blast. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Blade Runner, the exhibition presented a variety of artists’ works using the iconic film as inspiration. The artwork is still there and is quite cool, so pop on by to have a peak until March 2. I supplied the soundtrack to the show, filling the first two opening hours with a session also inspired by the music, vibe, sounds, and dialogue from Blade Runner. As requested by many who were there, I’m making a recording of this session available to download. Keep in mind this isn’t your normal DJ set … this one was intended to create an appropriate atmosphere for viewing the art work. It’s quite moody and very electronic with a few unexpected moments. I hope you enjoy this! You can download both parts for a limited time by clicking HERE.
It’s a fantastic start to the new year with another sprawling, eclectic batch of top tunes lovingly pasted into a seamless mix for a little radio program we call Invisible Airwaves.

We’re certainly looking forward to what 2012 has in store for us musically, and we’ll continue to report our discoveries within the sonic confines of these monthly two hour DJ mixes. Here’s the action-packed track list for January’s edition:

At the beginning of last month I had the pleasure of DJ’ing at Bar Standard in Denver, Colorado. For a portion of my set I was accompanied by my wonderful and talented friend Lisa Shaw who performed a number of her songs while I mixed the backing tracks. A recent web search unearthed the following video documentation of this event, deftly recorded by a couple of covert dance-floor inhabitants.
Lisa and I are always up for performing at your club, event, or high school reunion (I kid). Hit me up via the contact page for more information.
