Joey Anderson’s Deep Techno From NY. Joey Anderson contributes the 12th of Dekmantel‘s podcast series, having previously performed at their events and released an album via Dekmantel Records. The mix tactfully builds from the deep sound he represents, becoming more techno throughout. Stream and download above.
Mosca’s ‘Sideways Volume 3’. “Sideways is an occasional mix series I started when I covered Benji B‘s show on BBCR1 a couple of years back. Then I did a guest mix for Mary Anne Hobbs when she was covering Gilles’ show on BBC 6 Music, and here’s Volume 3, more of a podcast than a radio show – late night shit for when everything sounds too fast. No talking, high quality download, grab another drink and enjoy…” – Mosca. Stream and download above, track listing here.
Legowelt’s Retroist Selections. The Dutch electronic musician who describes his retroist musical style as “a hybrid form of slam jack combined with deep Chicago house, romantic ghetto technofunk and EuroHorror Soundtrack”, Legowelt makes two hours of hip-hop, techno, and electronica selections on London’s NTS Radio.
