Toronto-based speaker-freaking-genius DJ Trustfall comes at us with tripped-out grooves and percussive explorations of the highest order. Music for dancing and music for turning over rocks to look at the bugs hiding underneath.
Top shelf dubstep, breaks, and club from Chicago selector Jdotbalance. With phenomenal releases on labels including SLINK, Fixed Rhythms, and ESP Institute, they're at the cutting edge of contemporary bass muzik.
Spin Cycle this week comes from Philly's No Author: After three years away from the decks, a return in fragments: neo-trance, hard drum, grime, and ruinous euphoria. For Emily. Recorded in Berlin. *Includes miscellaneous film clips: There Will Be Blood, Donnie Darko, and Saint Maud.
This week's Spin Cycle comes at us courtesy of Detroit rising star DykeChow. An hour of wriggly, raw, (new) wavy, and acidic bangers, this mix deconstructs the ever-false braindance - bodydance dichotomy like it's nothing, and leaves us with Dance. Pure and simple. This is no surprise from DykeChow of course - she's been melting brains and dancefloors all over Detroit recently and she's just getting started, so slip on your wiggling shoes and loosen your grip on your cerebral viscosity because once that first blorp hits there is no going back.
Rooting around in the dusty corners of your local record shop in search of overlooked audial sprockets and cogs is Dean Raymond, the master mechanic behind Chicago's esteemed 'Spare Parts' party series and a disc jock of the highest caliber. This week on Spin Cycle he graces us with an hour of his trademark sound - in his words, "machine funk, dirty disco, and emotionally bent house music with a post-punk edge." A lively mix of hot tracks to get you sweating as the days turn cooler.
