Radio Soulwax Presents Dave
An hour-long tribute to David Bowie, both mixtape and new music video - an hour well spent:
RSWX presents Dave from Radio Soulwax on Vimeo.
Our homage to the man whose ability to change whilst remaining himself has been a massive influence on us. There are many legends in the music industry but for us, there is no greater than the mighty Dave. We’ve included all things Bowie, whether that is original songs, covers, backing vocals, production work or reworks we made, to attempt to give you the full scope of the man’s genius.
For the visual side to this mix our friend Wim Reygaert (who also made the amazing film for Into The Vortex) came up with the most ambitious film for RSWX, taking us on a fever dream time travel through the man’s career starring the amazing Hannelore Knuts as Dave. We’ve got to extend a special thank you to the cast and crew and everyone involved for putting so much time and energy and heart and soul into this amazing film, it is a pure labour of love for the phenomenon that is Bowie.

Corpus Octo 2
An Exquisite-Corpse mix by various DJs around the world have created a mix from various obscure European 70s horror soundtrack music and psychedelic rock which feels appropriate for both Halloween and dark Autumn nights:
8 obsessive record collectors, musicians, producers and mix creators found a common sound and built a small community around it in Mixcloud.
Corpus Octo is an International Collaborative Mix Project born from this community that has winged it’s way digitally between each contributor. For our second project we have delved into the darker regions of our collections, digging up cult British Horror Soundtracks, Heavy Giallo Grooves and Rare TV Incidental Music to create a unique soundtrack for a film that exists only in our minds and the ether.Tracklist:
Stalker 6 By Eduard Artemiev
Occult By Eric Peters
Dialogue From The Power Of The Witch By Chattox
Death Line Main Theme By Wil Malone
Omen By Keith Mansfield
The Dunwich Horror {Ost Montage} By Les Baxter
La Morte Accarezza A Mezzanotte {Valentina-Death Walks At Midnight Ost} By Giani Ferrio

The Beat Oracle: 09/08/2012: Unused Calendar
Second recommended mix is the latest one from The Beat Oracle show, two hours of future music - best show I’ve heard in awhile, highly recommended:
The summer may be coming to a close, but the season is still ripe for future music! This week we play a host of new releases to usher in the autumn. Part one features the new single from Flying Lotus (with some help from Erykah Badu), a track from Daphni’s (aka Caribou) debut album, the latest from the Sea and Cake, a hypnotic cut from Holy Other’s debut LP, and another week means another new album from bvdub, this time under his East of Oceans moniker (a must listen). In Part two you’ll hear the much anticipated return of Lukid, the soulful beats of Jessie Ware, more from the legendary Radioactive Man, a brand new track from Matthew Dear’s new album “Beams,” and Michael Mayer closes things out with a great remix of Gui Boratto’s “This is Not the End.” Certainly not.
Tracklist:
01) Ta-Ku - #dusty 29
02) Mala - Calle F
03) Flying Lotus - See Thru To U (feat. Erykah Badu)

RA.329 Gaslamp Killer
One of two recommended mixes I’ll share this evening … first, a 45 minute mix of eclectic edginess:
How and where was the mix recorded?
In my room at my house in Los Angeles on ProTools with my Dr. Sample 303.
Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?
It’s one of my best mixes yet. The first part is all about the heavy newer beat music with a bunch of unreleased stuff from my worldwide crew of beat making friends. The second part is a little more hip-hop turntablist influenced and the third part is all brand new GLK Breakthrough material!No tracklist, but you can download the mix and read an interview at Resident Advisor here

Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix
A tribute to the Beastie Boy’s ‘Paul’s Boutique’ album - 3 years in the making, 3 DJs, a mix in itself and semi-documentary - via DJ Food:
3 years in the making, 3 DJs working with over 150 tracks to recreate one of the seminal sampling albums of all time, at last Cheeba, Moneyshot and I can reveal ‘Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix’. Our tribute to the classic Beastie Boys album ‘Paul’s Boutique’ remixed and re-imagined from all the original samples plus a cappellas, period interviews and the Beasties’ own audio commentary from the reissued release …

RA Podcast: Apparat
50-minute electronica mix, described as ‘Melodic melancholia’, is actually upbeat:
The drums and arrangements may have evolved around it, but melody has always remained central to Sascha Ring’s craft. Cast an ear back to 2001’s Multifunktionsebene and it’s there wafting over the IDM-informed glitch; fast-forward to 2011’s Devil’s Walkand it’s leading delicate songs you could hear on the radio. In the time between these two full-lengths Ring became one of Germany’s preeminent electronic artists. 2006’s Orchestra of Bubbles alongside fellow Berliner Ellen Allien hit as interest in the sounds of the city were reaching fever pitch. A similarly Berlin-centric project was conceived in 2009 with the release of Moderat, Ring’s collaboration with Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary of Moderat. His live solo material had by this point taken on the form of a band, set-up to tour his crossover full-length Walls. The show was expanded upon for last year’s Devil’s Walk, Ring’s most introverted and traditionally structured offering yet.
Tracklist:
Space Dimension Controller - 2257 AD
Pional - In Another Room
Tevo Howard - Spend Some Time
Jacob Mikesh Filburth - At the Ranch (Lauer Rmx)
Todd Terje - Swing Star Pt II
ZZT - ZZafrica - (Julio Bashmore Rmx)
Jacques Greene - These Days
Glass Candy - Sugar & Whitebread
Bostro Pesopeo & Pional - Yes
College - Incident
Daphni - Ahora (Margot Rmx)
M83 - When Will You Come Home
Tahiti 80 - Darlin Adam Eve Song (John Talabot Rmx)
Zodiac Free Arts Club - Lindos Express

PING - Mixtape by Kelpe
An eclectic mixtape put together for oki-ni around the theme of the game, from Radiohead to Flying Lotus, and Sterolab to Can:
‘As it’s pretty much the only sport I like (now I’m too old to skateboard) and since we just had those Olympics, this is a mix of tracks that either sample, sound like they sample, or loosely reference table tennis.
‘As with any “themed” mix some of the links for tracks are a bit tenuous, especially as I wanted to restrict it to music that I actually LIKE (no inclusion of Enrique Iglesias’s Ping Pong Song here). For example, Stereolab’s Ping Pong isn’t really about Table Tennis but it’s there in the title, and Bucephalus Bouncing Balll isn’t a Table Tennis ball, but it’s Aphex Twin so surely we can make allowances.Tracklist (Player embedded above):
- Ping Pong - Stereolab
- Ping Pong - Can
- Bucephalus Bouncing Ball - Bell Orchestre
- Bubbles - Yosi Horikawa
- Ping - Hauschka
- Shipwreck Glue - Kelpe
- Give Up The Ghost (Brokenchord Rmx) - Radiohead
- Table Tennis (Feat. Laura Darlington) - Flying Lotus
- Ping Pong - Antipop Consortium
- 360 - Faust
- Ain’t Gonna Lie - Deadboy
- Pingis - Ovuca
- Bucephalus Bouncing Ball - Aphex Twin

Testpattern – “Souvenir Glacé” from Apres Midi
Yukihiro Takahashi – “Curtains” from Neuromantic
Chakra – “You Need Me” from Satekoso

Yellow Magic Orchestra – “Wild Ambitions” from Naughty Boys
Taeko Ohnuki – “Inori” from Alfa/Yen: We Wish You a Merry ChristmasIt was hard to choose one track as an example (it could have been the slower-paced yet suductive “Zoot Koot”), but choose something more pop, catchy, and fun.
