Invisible Airwaves #18 – June Edition

The summer heat is sweltering and our air conditioner is on the fritz here at Q-BAM HQ. There’s no better way to calm us down then with the icy mix of tunes that make up this month’s Invisible Airwaves. I’ve assembled loads of top cuts from already favorite labels as well as some recent discoveries, and have been able to piece a couple new Q-Burns Abstract Message remixes in the set. You’ll notice the tempo builds then retreats, eventually submerging itself in the cool waters of some lush deep house. It’s a mix that we’re well into and are hoping that you’ll enjoy also.

Ctrl-Alt-Delete Mix Features Q-BAM Tracks

I just stumbled upon this DJ mix by Reno-based DJ Ctrl-Alt-Delete as posted on the Chillbass music blog (“created to promote DEEP, MOODY, AND BASS HEAVY music!”). Not only did Mr. Ctrl-Alt-Delete include two tracks from my Invisible Airline album but he accompanied them with cool cuts from the likes of Burial, DJ Spooky, and Moby. I’m honored. Give the mix a listen here:

“Alien Theme” by Nostromo

How this escaped my greedy ears until now is a mystery. Absolutely wonderful.

Remix: Gazeebo – “Gushing Climax”

Some intentionally watery (and slightly naughty) remix action, this time inflicted upon Colorado’s Gazeebo for their NC-17 rated Adults Only series. My latest trip is imagining a flowing river as I work on my productions, having the musical elements develop and dissipate naturally, like floating past structures on the shoreline. I’m playing some big, bouncy bass guitar run through a who-knows-what effect, its riff sort of being the melodic anchor. Staccato synth arpeggiations flow (yes) in and out and I’m happily able to include some cheap-sounding string pads. Head-bobbing beat-smith and a slinky disposition meet underneath a flashing red neon light. You’re never too old to get carded at the door at this club. Have a listen:

This remix joins rockin’ remixes by Irregular Disco Workers and Lou Teti of the same “Gushing Climax” original. It’s been released through Community Recordings and can be found on Juno Download as well as other fine digital shops.

Recommended: A Chris & Cosey DJ Mix

Today I’ve found myself listening repeatedly to this DJ mix put together by Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti as part of The Quietus mix series. You may know Chris & Cosey for their extensive discography as a duo, and you may also know them as one half of iconoclastic musical heroes Throbbing Gristle. TG were especially influential to me as a teenage lover of all things musically controversial and I completely wore out copies of their various albums (as well as my tattered edition of the Industrial Culture Handbook of which their interview was a highlight). This exceptional mix betrays Chris & Cosey’s unique historical perspective on music recent and past and will be the background soundtrack to many future days of work here at Q-BAM HQ. Enjoy:



Quietus Mix 008: Chris & Cosey by The Quietus on Mixcloud

On a sad side note, Chris & Cosey’s partner in (audio) crime in Throbbing Gristle, Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson, passed away at the end of last year.

 


Invisible Airwaves Radio Show – January Edition

I’m launching 2011 with a whole new series of Invisible Airwaves shows and a new theme song (an edit of the Balearic Version of “Chainsaw,” if you wanna know).
