Logan’s Last Run

i made this mix just before my 30th birthday. initially thinking it was to be my last because where i come from everyone at the age of 30 must enter the Carrousel and be renewed. i was not ready, i had many more mixes to make, so i became a runner. to this day, almost 13 years later, i am still running from the Sandmen.

All Clear

Clear was a short lived UK label specializing in future electro and jazzish IDM that just about blew my mind in 1995. harboring early works from luminaries such as Global Communications, μ-Ziq, Autechre, Matthew Herbert, Acen, Kirk Degiorgio, Morgan Geist, etc. made Clear a mecca for fans of electronic music. here is a 20th anniversary mix to pay homage to one of my favorite labels. long live Clear.

Sideways Glances

this is how i do. heavy mixing various styles of electronic music on 3 turntables to create a continuous flow that seems organic in its movements, smooth in its transitions, groovy as hell with a healthy dose of inner space psychedelics and moments of sheer beauty. on a good day i can create a living entity out of music. this was a good day.
