My first update after our third visit to the phone booth. Here’s the story so far.
To open, I wanted to explore a few scenes that I love and which influence many of the artists & net labels you’ll hear in the phone booth going forward. The acts here are exemplary of a style of sample-heavy hardcore jungle/drum & bass out of Osaka from the early 90’s, known as virtuacore, nerdcore, j-core and etc. My mic was overall very shitty but I promise you I’ve cleared that up now. Also the set only ran a half hour, but we will be re-visiting this in a future episode! Probably several future episodes.
If the first show wasn’t hard enough for you, this will certainly scratch that itch. Digital Hardcore can only be described as just that. You get what it says on the tin. Birthed in rage out of Berlin by three legends – Alec Empire, Hanin Elias, and MC Carl Crack, Atari Teenage Riot was formed in 1992 and proceeded to live up to the name. After much controversy they founded Digital Hardcore Recordings and signed some promising talent for releases & compilations. Though the label can’t really be called active anymore, “Digital Hardcore” has expanded to refer to an entire genre and underground electronic movement.
I told you I would fix my mic! If you’re familiar with this community at SDF you may have heard of, been active in, or maybe still are involved with da scene. Made and performed with a multitude of samplers & sequencers built for the Commodore Amiga, the sound produced is unlike any other.
Kind of neat that the L/R audio is fucked up at points because in protracker and other amiga tools, the 4 audio channels are hard set to either side, and many producers back in the day would just put whatever fit where to get the most out of them, so it sounds kind of funny in a modern stereo environment. For instance at 11:45 you can hear the bassline on the right while the left channel is utilized for a synth lead. Then, at 12:10, the bass moves back to the left while the right channel plays the vocal sample.
And that’s all we have for today! If you read all of this you’re probably insane. Who knows what the future has in store for this little phone booth.
Songs inspired by strains. If you feel the strain, kill the pain with some skunky danky Mary Jane! Don’t create the disaster, be the Master! Enjoy these greatest hits!
…he says to himself 😛 But yup, today was the big double digit…show #10. It has been a blast so far and I am looking forward to…well, at least 10 more. Let’s keep the expectations low for now 😉
Decided to switch things up a bit in celebration I guess. Played a bit more of the classic/oldies. Some of my favs! I hope you enjoy and thank you for tuning in!
Grain bin robots, bicycle dynamos, and the Will of God.
…I mean Electro House! That was the genre I picked for today’s show anyway. I do hope you enjoyed it, or plan to enjoy it soon 😉
FYI, I am working on a few less random sets coming up in the future. Theme sets. Moar non-techno. Fun things…I promise 😉
Here are the news stories for Wednesday June 9th. Hope you enjoyed the show!
Don’t forget to eat something, and drink water today!
