Mixing Music Is My Sanctuary

this 3 turntable odyssey is a classic slice of robot rock. a little bit techno, a little bit house, a little bit electro, a little bit dubstep, a little bit broken. all good and all heavily layered.

A Streetcar Named PCC 4001

the flanged metal rings of the wheels on an old streetcar are as much an influence on electro as sci-fi, the 8o8 cowbell, Kraftwerk, vocoders, skittering hi hats , booming bass and Bambaattaa. the clattering of the tracks are hypnotic rhythms for the weary returning home, a prototype for mechanized urban tribal soul.
    Tracklist:
  1. Toronto Streetcar P.C.C. 4001 making it’s way through the carhouse ladder track starting it’s daily run September, 1962 – HRN Productions (????)
