![Audratic Podcast #6: Suite 711 [DJ Mix]](http://audratic.com/wp-content/themes/foliotastic_v01/img_resize/image.php?width=620&height=290&cropratio=620:290&image=http://audratic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Audratic-Podcast-6-Suite-711.jpg)
Sometimes DJs like to stick to a specific genre with their mixes, but often the best ones just screw it and get all Jackson Pollack, throwing a bunch of songs together and making it work. Suite 711 is such a mix, cramming nine tracks of differing music genres together in under 25 minutes. While the tracks are different ... Continue Reading
Ricardo Villalobos is one of those enigmatic artists that generates equal amounts of praise and disdain. While I have a fair amount of Villalobos’ work, I until recently fell into the latter camp, often finding his works to be self-indulgent. Yet my viewpoint completely changed once I recently re-listened to hi ... Continue Reading
Recently I spoke with James Burnham, aka Burnski, who was in NYC in December to play for reSolute, an excellent ongoing party series that sets up shop across various locations in NYC. Hailing from Leeds, England, Burnski is no stranger to the techno and house scene, having put records out for multiple high-profile lab ... Continue Reading
This past week I got the chance to see live and speak with Christopher Spero, aka Glimpse. Mr. Spero is one of electronic music’s freshest acts today, composing minimal electronic that is quite inviting, often employing wispy vocal flourishes and crackling, warm analog sounds. His live set at Cielo this past ... Continue Reading
At this point we know what Claude Vonstroke is all about. A leading purveyor of dirty house, this San Francisco native capitalizes on the dark and ominous, stretching and warping menacing sounds against skeletal beats. Take the now omnipresent “Who’s Afraid of Detroit”, which plays a bleepy, scantl ... Continue Reading
A couple of weeks back I was having a drink with a friend of mine at the Soho Grand Hotel in NYC. While ordering myself a Hendrick’s and tonic the DJ dropped Aeroplane’s fantastic remix of the track “Paris” by the Friendly Fires. While the original is innocent, catchy dance rock, (pleasantl ...

Listening to the opening track of Little Dragon’s excellent sophomore release, Machine Dreams, I was immediately reminded of another Swedish electronic artist, Karin Dreijer Andersson (of Knife and Fever Ray fame). Much like Ms. Andersson, vocalist Yukimi Nagano has a voice that captivates and is the driving f ... Continue Reading

For Audratic Podcast #5, I decided to get a little funky and tap into the milky disco sound, which is one of the most vital and fertile dance movements today. A hybrid of jazz, rock, disco and modern electronic, milky disco is all about chaos within a construct. Contrary to modern house and techno movements, this ne ... Continue Reading
The fourth entry of the Audratic Podcast series, Emotive Ops is something that reaches into the techno/house 4/4 construct and flips it a bit on its head. Sticking to one genre is not a particularly entralling endeavor and can get tedious after a while, especially for an ADD DJ like myself. You see, I find solace in ... Continue Reading
