| Summer Jamz 09: Nick Rallo–Ray Bradbury’s Circus | July 6, 2009 |
Nick Rallo has stupid crazy Cetacean swag at Whale Fight. Nobody knows the hot months better than Ray Bradbury.

Personally, I don’t get tired of reading about it–the same […]

| Summer Jamz 09: Douglas Martin-“Le Garage” | June 17, 2009 |
Douglas Martin picks Cherries in Yakima, boxes with shadows, and managed to leave “In the Garage” off this mix–presumably as punishment for “Beverly Hills.” You’re out of school for the next two-and-a-half months. You don’t have a job, and your parents won’t lift a finger to help you get a car until you get […]

| Summer Jamz: Disco Vietnam Presents SOULFUCK 2009 | June 11, 2009 |
Disco Vietnam cannot be described in a single sentence, but instead exists as a platonic ideal comprised of equal parts Ecto-Cooler, the Rza, and lightning. http://www.sendspace.com/file/khnpo5 The recession endures but Mister Softee stays winning.

Those party favors may be twenty years removed from the scorched days of running on wet pavement at the Troy Municipal Pool, but the songs remain the same. Seems like […]
Alfred Soto & Tal Rosenberg: Risottoberg http://sharebee.com/b9122ab4 When J-Brad announced that he was organizing this year’s go-round of the “Summer Jamz” series, I specifically asked Alfred if he wanted to collaborate. The reason is obvious: Alfred descends from the ancient and much hallowed Sotosyn Tribe, an off branch of the Satahsing Tribe in the northwest […]
| Summer Jamz ’09: Todd Burns | June 1, 2009 |
Photo via The Stranger Todd Burns was the former editor of Stylus Magazine. He is currently the editor of dance music’s best online magazine, Resident Advisor. When I make a mix, I’m most concerned with throughlines: I want to make something that sounds like one (very) long song. This makes for some pretty one-note mixes, […]
