MIXTAPE: Dilations (Part Two)

Talk about a time dilation since Part One of my Dilations mixtape. I present to you with Part Two. This second half is more homogenous genre-wise (house / electro / techno). Opening (the intro might sound familiar...) and closing things up is Canblaster. I'm a big fan.

Now for the true origin behind the title "Dilations"; I've always been a big sci-fi fan (yes, moment of truth). Lots of times when you have a story (take the original Planet Of The Apes film, for example) about persons traveling through space, there's always the acceleration and time dilation factor of getting from Point A to Point B, since space is super vast and travel takes forever. In a matter of a few Earth years, Charlton Heston's crew travelled 1,000s of years through space since they had the means to move at lightspeed. They barely aged but (spoiler alert) ended up waaaay in the future. You can Google the rest on time dilation; for now check out this Dilations' Point B.

It's been quite some time, eh internets? Cutting off the radio silence and comin' back at ya with the first part (of two) in my latest mixtape series, Dilations.

MIXTAPE: Rhythm Life

Following suit with the more retro mixes I've been putting out, here's one I was excited to craft: Rhythm Life, a collection of acid house, electro (hip-hop) and classic rave.

From the time I discovered electronica & dance music 10+ years ago, it was only natural for me to retrace my steps and dig up songs from the pioneers & legends: Juan Atkins (featured on Rhythm Life twice as Cybotron & Model 500), Afrika Bambaataa, Orbital, etc.

I started listening to hip-hop when I was young, so 80s/old school hip-hop easily attracted my ears. I was always especially drawn to electro music (the real/original incarnation): Egyptian Lover, Mantronix, Jonzun Crew, every Juan Atkins moniker. "Clear" by Cybotron has to be one of the greatest classic electro tracks ever made.

This mix of tracks might not be the most accessible, but 99% of the songs on there mean a lot to the history of house/electro/techno and to myself as a music fan. It also doubles as my Haçienda (Factory Records, Manchester, etc.) mix.

1. Mɐn Pɐrrısh - Hıp Hop Be Bop (Orıgınɐl Versıon)
2. Adonis - No Way Back
3. 808 State - Cubik (Kings County Perspective)
