SYNAPTIC PLASTIC

Hi,

After a looooonggg hiatus…the smoothie show is back and sporadic. This edition features Toronto stuff that I rinsed out on my last tour. Also a selection of some of my favorite IDM tunes. After the jump up explosion in mid 1995 I found myself less interested in the Jungle that was played at the raves here. The only thing that got my through that era(other than producing my own music) was all the wonderful atmospheric DnB, Riot Beat and IDM. I was avidly listening to Synaptic Paradox, Greg Clow’s Feedback Monitor and the Stumpy Godhead show on CIUT FM (University of Toronto’s Community Radio Station). Snapping up as many weird and wonderful records I could find (ergo all the question marks you see in these track-listings). A lot of people have and will continue to ask me about my approach and influence…which is surprising to me as I feel that I wear it on my sleeve…well now it couldn’t be more obvious. =O)

p.s. The IDM selection can also be attributed to trying to get Magda to listen to DnB since she’s all into the Dubstep now ;oP

Imagine the whole world just opened up?

Imagine raving still held the rush it used to week in week out?

And tunes like this blared out of bass bins bigger than all of us?

Jay & I travelled to Camber Sands, UK to experience what was to be the best weekend of our lives. A novel of the April 25-27, 2008 weekend will be up as soon as we can recover to write it all out. We just came back from Spain, so we could recoup but I am just not the same as I was. Truly.  Squarepusher started his set with Hello Meow. Imagine…

Thanks to the valiant efforts of one Alan Lam (I have always depended on the kindness of Stranjah)…we have managed to salvage a 1:11 recording of the evening from around 1am on. King and 0=0 went back to back for approx 7 hours. It was a lot of fun. It’s great to have this recording because we didn’t feel that we were actually there; so this documentation proves it and allows us to relive the bass going BOOM!

Hey All,

Got to play on the Breakbeat Assassins Show last week hosted by toronto’s Battleboys, a crew of wicked djs from the Eastside(flashes gang-symbol)! The show was broadcast from Stranjah’s Sweatshop Studios. They are having loads of toronto djs come in and do guest spots to promote their up coming jam with Fanu on April 12th. For more info about them click here. Alan was nice enough to send me the archive and i’ve uploaded it for all to check out. I’m trying to play in a style fitting for the aesthetic of the show and the crew!

usually this blog/page/site is a place where magda and I can post propaganda to further the causes of our individual megalomaniac agendas, but i think the time has come to share this (rather psychedelic) forum with some select others or at least other subjects then the smoothie show. Here we have a mix by our friend Profane. Profane enjoys crunchy akai samplers, j.dilla, and powerlifting. I think this soundtrack that he’s prepared can provide more fuel to a powerlifting session than all the wheatgerm and monosaccharide infused glyco-proteins one could possibly injest.

Hey,

Thanks to the patronage and love of a magda the smoothie show emerges into 2008. Kicking off with a love story of sorts. Some new stuff…some old stuff….some weird stuff…all the stuff we love. January is a very dark month for everyone so i’m going to play the show every week to try and brighten the way for people(plus the new mixer is too much fun to use!). Shout to Stranjah, DJ Clear, Buzzby, Profane, Dwarde and all the crew that tuned in! AND OFCOURSE MAGDA FOR MAKING THIS ALL POSSIBLE~!

Hey,

Magda’s birthday provided for one crazy weekend. First her monthly night on the actual day of her birthday with some great friends, phenominal music and a lot of boozing. Thanks to Kris D and Jesse (El Guapo) for all the help. The following evening we busted some boozecan with some serious afterhours Drum and Bass. Some great sets by Gunns, King and myself. Notable mention to Chase for the killer live trumpet playing over the dnb…BEATS AN MC ANYDAY! We partied until about 8am. Partied about more to Equinox’s stellar Scientific Wax Show on http://jungletrain.net. The weekend left us all tenderized so I recorded this set as a cathartic exercise. Chicken Noodle Soup and Bass.
