Euphiomix: !Kaboogie Mix


I did a mix for !Kaboogie. Download it here.

I have a lot of time for what the !Kaboogie lads do, quality gigs and genuine love of the tunes, would recommend checking out their new site, especially this SSTN feature.

I've always loved heavy music, grunge got me through most of the 90s and introduced me to other sort-of-metal bands such as Deftones, Tool, System of a Down etc. Then the 00s hit and I was off to college. Gradually I got more into electronic stuff but I still retained a strong inclination towards music that was sonically dark and aggressive. It is interesting to me that there seems to be a bit of a trend lately to hear electronic producers that have taken a background in listening to metal and used it to colour their productions without it seeming like a cheesy parody (ie such as Distance, not ridiculous breakcore producers who mash in thrash metal over double time breakbeats). This mix is an attempt to make connections between the worlds of post-hardcore and metal, and electronic music. It is also me just stringing together some of my favourite tunes for turning up real loud and moshing when nobody is looking. Admittedly, it's not for everyone.

Euphiomix_2

Sundaymix by Dusk Grotesk

Note: You can download the mix by clicking the down arrow at the right of the SoundCloud player.

songs, folk, minimalism, instrumental, rock, mallet music
This is a mellow mix, the likes of which one might play on a Sunday afternoon or late at night. It features songs interspersed with instrumentals (lots of mallet and melodic percussion stuff). There is acoustic material from the likes of Nick Drake and Elliott Smith, minimalism from Steve Reich and Philip Glass, bands such as Sonic Youth and Xiu Xiu, and instrumental stuff by everyone from Clark and Machinefabriek to Moondog and Max Roach. It's a collection of stuff I really enjoy and consequently it's not just a litany of obscure bands that I think I am oh-so-painfully-cool to know about, there's all sorts of stuff in there. Wrap this mix around you like a blanket and go back to bed, there's no school today.
