| Simians Don’t Sleep: Bonobo’s New Mix & EPs | November 6, 2014 |
Chris Daly fucks, then he sleeps. Say whatever else you might be so inclined to about Bonobo, but you certainly can’t say he’s been traveling at less than the speed of sound these days. Fresh off his 18 month, international “North Borders” tour, he dropped the appropriately named The North Borders Tour – Live, a CD/DVD […]
| Son Raw’s Loose Synths | August 7, 2014 |
And now, a word from Son Raw’s sponsor Another mix, another awkward self promotional write up from myself. Honestly, I can big up the artists I support all day long but writing about my own DJing is about as painful a task as I can imagine. As such, I’ll dodge that obligation by heaping praise […]
| Spring Mix: Will Hagle | May 6, 2014 |
Will Hagle now reports to Creative Director Lou Avery Spring is a transitional season, one that promises summer is coming soon but constantly reminds you it’s still kinda winter. Two weeks ago I sat outside at Busch stadium in 80 degree weather, optimistic about the start of the spring and baseball seasons. I left with […]
| Passion of the Weiss Winter Mix Series #2: Max Bell | January 20, 2014 |

I’m not exactly feeling the blues now, but they’re never wholly gone. They wait in a street sign or a supermarket that forever signifies more than […]
| Passion of the Weiss Winter Mix Series #1: Brad Beatson | January 17, 2014 |
Brad Beatson on the beat. I dream a lot in the winter. When I’m confined to my apartment thanks to wind chill, the dreams tend to amplify. And so they anchor this mix, along with lines that make me reminisce, allow me to recover, or inspire me to plot my next move. These songs show […]
| Shaq Attaq in the Mix: A Look Back at Shaq’s Rap Career | April 19, 2013 |
Max Bell always preferred Allen Iverson. Today marks the re-release of Shaquille O’Neal’s rookie-season Reeboks shoes, The Shaq Attaq. If I had some disposable income—$160, plus tax—I’d be outside of Footlocker with my lawn chair and G-Pen like all of the other sneaker heads. Instead, I’ve settled for DJ Goulet’s (that one) commemorative Shaq Attaq mix, which […]
| Summer Jamz 2012: Duke Bloggin Meets the Congos in Midtown | August 31, 2012 |
We have Alex Piveyski and Jah to thank for this. Download: ZIP: V/A – Duke Bloggin Meets the Congos in Midtown (Left-Click) I have a confession to make: this compilation is actually a failed album review. Icon Give Thank, a collaboration between venerable reggae legends The Congos and mad experimentalists Sun Araw and M. Geddes […]
