memekast mk066 » Audiovoid

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:42:46 -0800

It's been a minute since we've heard a mix from Memekast resident Audiovoid. For episode 66, he starts it bouncing with his signature grinding crunchy mid tempo style, occasionally teasing in the pretty stuff, including Bassnectar’s remix of Fever Ray's When I Grow Up and even a new remix of NovaTRON's Fugue Regolar from our buddy Heavenly Father. The midtempo progression gradually bumps more and more, finally settling in on his own track Scared Slitless. Finally he lets the momentum of the mix take over, unleashing a barrage of twisted electro and dubstep heaters all the way up to drum & bass and back down again. Especially notable mixes include Culprate's Finger VIP into Audiovoid's re-edit of the Feed Me tune Cloudburn, then into Cutline's Runnin' Ft. Belle Humble VIP. The range of genres and sub genres that are explored, and the ability that he has to tie them all together, are refreshing to say the least. And he does it all while staying true to his own style. He seamlessly moves through tempos and constantly mixes it up with original tunes and re-edits. Score.

memekast mk065 » ChrisB.

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:03:49 -0800

For the first Memekast of 2012 we offer up a 22 minute mix from Los Angeles native, ChrisB. We were drawn to the smoother sexier, more melody driven productions that only partly describe Chris's sound. But don't get it twisted, it's not all chocolates and silk panties. There's a mad amount of chopped up West Coast crunkedelic vocals and slick, morphing basslines moving around under his straightforward Hip Hop style beats.

We were lucky enough to catch multiple performances from Chris this Summer. Most notable was his impromptu morning set at Sonic Bloom and his sunrise set at Nexus, with fellow musician Gladkill, playing as More Champagne.

Boldly exploring vast melodic realms full of hypnotic textures and a heavy dose of emotionally-resonant driving bass, his high energy live performances never fail to inspire each person in the audience. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he is utterly unafraid to toss aside the crutch of 'brute-force' sonic assaults and instead relies only on his brilliant melodic compositions. Chris’s sound reflects a developed musicality not often associated with the bulk of contemporary electronic music.

memekast mk064 » Stephan Jacobs

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:38:58 -0800

This episode of the Memekast will be the last one for 2011, and in typical fashion we like go out and in with a bang. For number 64 we take you to Los Angeles, for a special mix from Stephan Jacobs. Having known Stephan for a few years, it was an obvious choice. But we had to wait until he had the time. Also having been selected by The Do Lab as a featured performer at Coachella for the last two years, Lighting in a Bottle, Nocturnal Wonderland, Burning Man, and many other festivals, underground events, and clubs this summer. He has a virtually non-stop touring schedule.

As one of the most exciting multi-genre producers in Southern California today, Stephan Jacobs draws from a powerful collection of original material and heavyweight remixes. This passionate young producer slings out stimulating sets of uptempo dub step, twisted glitch hop and straight-up West Coast crunk

memekast mk063 » MartyParty

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:56:12 -0800

For this episode of the Memekast we check in with our Brooklyn, New York home base to bring you an all original mixture from the one and only MartyParty. We've really admired his DIY style of making, mixing, mastering, releasing and playing his own material and the amount of love that he shows for his fans. Never one to be outdone, he asked us what kind of mix we would like to hear. The choice between a "90bpm melodic, pretty mix" or a "140bpm purple rager" was an easy one for us. Full of original tracks, exclusive collaborations and sick remixes. We were more than excited when he agreed to be featured, let alone to be given multiple styles to choose from.

It’s all about experimentation and invention - that’s why I make music the way I do. The new tooling in digital music production allows me to sit alone in my room on my iMac with two KRK Rockit monitors and a subwoofer, and produce original music from the first chord, right through to mastering and release on the internet - in one day. This freedom and power make it easy to explore the limits of the audible sound spectrum, including sub bass, poly-melodic harmonics and sound design, with incredible speed, productivity and without complying to any convention. My mission is to change the way people think about electronic music and to bring the art of musical composition back into popular music. My dream is that I inspire others to do the same. We live in a digital world, I’m not interested in emulating anything that has been done before.

-MartyParty

memekast mk062 » MiHKAL

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:25:27 -0800

For this episode we stay at home in the Bay Area to bring you just under an hour long mix from MiHKAL (mee·KALL), which stands for "Music I Have Known And Loved". We've been big fans of MiHKAL's for quite some time, having seen him develop and fine tune his signature style over the past few years. Combining smooth sexy beats, custom mashups and glitched out vocals with exclusive tunes from some of glitch hop's most prominent artist's, we're sure this mix will keep your head nodding for months to come.

Perfecting the art of audio alchemy, MiHKAL approaches his musical creative process as a chemist synthesizing a newfound molecule. Blending an omnitude of genres and tempos into a seamless bass induced euphoria, MiHKAL brings both the light and dark elements into harmony with melodic rhythms intertwined with heavy bass lines. Whether serving the crowd a plate of face slapping bass with a side of womp sauce or raising the vibe with higher frequency melodic soundscapes, he puts intention into his performance just as a shaman would, guiding his ceremony.

memekast mk061 » Mr. Bill

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:20:04 -0800

For this episode we go to New South Wales, Australia to bring you Mr. Bill. If you haven't heard of Bill before, we're not too surprised. He's been sort of under the radar until recently but we think this mix will get your attention.

Recent credits include remixes for Vaetxh and Bluetech, as well as collaborations with Bran Richards and our own resident Tha Fruitbat.

My name is Bill, however I am currently more well known for writing and performing electronic music under the pseudonym Mr. Bill. This project is based around evocation, I like to write music that excites the ear and the brain. This requires me to explore all sorts of strange production methods and musical theories to keep exciting my senses.

memekast mk060 » Genji

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 14:57:49 -0800

For this episode we take you back to the Bay Area for another appearance from Memekast resident Genji. This mix is a bit of a departure from the sounds of his previous Memekast, in 2007. An exploration in texture and movement, the dark, grinding bass and copious crunch of mk026 was both moody and heady, but with enough solid grooves and glitchy rhythms to keep your head bobbing.

memekast mk059 » ProJect Aspect

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 19:30:52 -0800

To get the new season of Memekasts started off right, We selected Denver native ProJect Aspect, a member of the Mile High Sound Movement, a talented pool of artists and producers located there. We had a chance to hear him play a few times at Sonic Bloom this year along with previous Memekast guest Seied as well as Tipper, Vibesquad, Eoto, Jantsen, and Jamie Janover just to name a few. We were very impressed by the consistent quality of music that we heard while we were there. ProJect Aspect's production made us take notice and get him on the short list for a Memekast. Which also happens to coincide with his ProJect Aspect fan page acquiring over 2000 fans as well as a new release featured on the music label Gruntworthy. And in celebration of these two recent achievements he gave us an all live mix tape of unreleased material to swing into the Fall season. Exclusively for the Memekast.

memekast mk058 » Niles

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 14:53:36 -0800

Is it still a fanny pack if you rock it in the front? Is it still Dubstep if there isn't any dub? Niles plays the music that he feels is embracing the future of Dubstep without losing sight of its roots. Referencing the sound of early Tempa two step and sometimes stripping it down to a more minimal dub techno feel.

He's been keeping his head down and his ear to the ground while planning some new projects you are sure to be hearing about soon, as well as doing more remixing duties for VTG.

memekast mk057 » Digital Honey

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 15:04:09 -0800

Digital Honey is the dynamic duo of Alia (13moontribe, Raindance, Nexus) and Ginger Vaughn (hitgirl!). They consistently lay down some of the fattest breaks available. Fresh off the heels from slamming performances at both Raindance and The Bounce Festival, we thought it was about time to bring you some straight up hard, funky Breakbeats, enjoy.

memekast mk056 » Cloud 11

Wed, 18 May 2011 07:09:44 -0800

We decided to chill out this week and not book the bangers, this episode comes from Rena Jones' new music label, Cartesian Binary. We've followed and been fans of Rena and her many projects for a long time. We met up with her recently in San Francisco and she gave us a preview of some of the music featured on her label's new album, so we asked her if she wanted any of her artists do a mix for us. After keeping in contact over the last few weeks, she sent a beautiful moody piece comprised of select tracks from the album Cloud 11 , mixed by b0t23. We hope you like it.

memekast mk055 » Ruff Hauser

Tue, 03 May 2011 10:23:44 -0800

For Memekast episode #55, we roll down to Los Angeles for an exclusive mix from one the most prolific of our favorite SoCal producers, Ruff Hauser. He slapped us with over 48 minutes of melodic, throbbing, twisted, bass heavy beats. Mixing much of his own unreleased material with tunes from some of the hottest producers out on the charts, like Tipper, Zeds Dead, High Rankin and also his partner in Kether, Stephan Jacobs. Moving seamlessly through different tempos and styles, from glitchy Mid Tempo, to Dubstep, Dub Techno and 2 Step. This mix solidifies Ruff Hauser as being a top notch producer in our minds, he has definitely achieved that polished sound that producers spend many years trying to achieve. He's seen releases on Muti, Addictech, and Beatport. And for good reason...

memekast mk054 » Dabis

Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:20:21 -0800

From Hawaii to Hollywood, up and down the West Coast, New Memekast resident Dabis has been dropping tracks for many years in well known clubs, off the beaten path and everywhere in between. Dabis hits you with a fully charged pulse of low frequency energy, flooding dance floors with waves of sub bass. While the tracks he drops hail from far-flung corners of the electronic music sphere, you can count on him to grace your eardrums with individually mined and polished gems.

memekast mk053 » Digital Rust

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:08:30 -0800

For this episode of the Memekast, we are very pleased to bring you Digital Rust. He gave us an all exclusive, all original mix of 3 released and 6 unreleased tracks! Expect a new forthcoming EP on Addictech in the very near future.

He played an epic sunrise set at the Temple of Flux this year and we knew that we had to have him on the Memekast. But he made us wait until he had a release under his belt.

His first offering, Loophole, out now on Addictech Records, takes listeners on a ride through dirty wobbles, thick basslines, talking synths bits, and chunky beats. Digital Rust constructs a twisted soundscape that pulls inspirations from Glitch Hop, Dubstep, and Breaks.

memekast mk052 » Dirt

Fri, 01 Apr 2011 14:36:26 -0800

To start April off right, we head to back Oakland to bring you another mix from Dirt (Cymbalic Recordings / Techno Truth). Dirt's production has been highly acclaimed for taking the listener on a journey through several different moods and levels of intensity. He is especially known for his hard thumping Techno. Combining evolving textures and stretched out psychedelic layers with moving basslines and thumping 808 sub rhythms. Stay tuned for releases from Dirt later in the year.

memekast mk051 » Bass from Above

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 22:13:32 -0800

For this episode we are proud to present Bass from Above. The new album from SubSynthesis.com and GlitchDrop.com mixed in entirety by Pairadimez (iONik + r.e.g.). The first in a series of all-original exclusive compilation albums from SubSynthesis & GlitchDrop showcasing many new and establshed artists. Mastered by Bill Bless. Featuring 22 original tracks by producers such as Freddy Todd, Sugarpill, Gladkill, Stephan Jacobs, +verb and many more. This album was originally intended to be sold to help fund future releases, until the recent Japanese disaster. Everyone involved decided to donate the proceeds to the disaster relief efforts currently underway in Japan.

memekast mk050 » ill.Gates

Sat, 19 Mar 2011 15:52:18 -0800

To celebrate our 50th Memekast we are teaming up with ill.Gates to announce the launch of the new illGates.com and releasing a 20:11 megamix featuring all the heaviest ill.Gates releases along with two new bangers, complete with elephants and muthafuckin' monkeys*!

It's full of information, videos, tips, tricks and loads of freebies.

+ 30 Minutes of New Tutorial Videos!

memekast mk049 » Bird of Prey

Wed, 02 Mar 2011 20:15:51 -0800

For this episode of the Memekast we were lucky enough to catch up with San Francisco's Bird of Prey. His psystep hybridization of breaks and dubstep has been showcased on releases by Addictech, Cyberset, and Vaporvent.

He also has an upcoming Addictech EP due out in the next couple months as well as a brand new website launch. Expect quite a few surprises from him in 2011. We're stoked that he had some time to get us an all exclusive mix just for the Memekast.

memekast mk048 » Seied

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 17:20:36 -0800

For this week's episode we check in with Seied, out of Denver, Colorado. We've been listening to Dave's music for for quite a while. In our opinion he has been overlooked for far too long. He has releases on Addictech, Digital Distortions, Plastic Sound Supply, and Be Green Records. Having been remixed by the likes of Bassnectar as well as doing bangin remixes of Si Begg's Tyranny of Pesto and Dicrylium's Hippy Britches. Not to mention being a staple performer of the Burning Man festival scene and all around nice guy.

memekast mk047 » Carly-D and Dr.Knobz

Sun, 06 Feb 2011 15:03:20 -0800

For this weeks episode we cross The Bay to Oakland, where we caught up with Gruntworthy label bosses Carly-D and Dr.Knobz. We asked them to give us a preview of where they thought the future of bass music was headed... or at least what it sounded like to them.

memekast mk046 » RūdElgin

Sat, 15 Jan 2011 21:12:28 -0800

He's been called LA's best dubstep DJ... but his mom has always been really supportive like that.

Elgin first fell in love with electronic music in 1996 when a high school buddy turned him on to Music for the Jilted Generation. Three years later, a friend needed a place to store a set of belt drive decks and an old mixer...it was on these decks that his fascination with mixing was born. Out of this fascination and after many years of dedication, he gained the skills to mix with ease, moving through various tempos and styles, while making sure that YOU are having as much fun as he is!

memekast mk045 » djSpaceInvader

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 12:09:52 -0800

East Coast Operations checks in with a mix from our resident in Brooklyn, djSpaceInvader, who drops a stack of intergalactic gangsta shit best described as "music to jack spacecraft to".

memekast mk044 » Dirt

Fri, 31 Dec 2010 15:56:55 -0800

Welcome back, and welcome to 2011! We have a lot planned for this year, as our East Coast operations ramp up and our West Coast team expands and cranks up the intensity. We have a serious lineup already, including new resident Spektrum, more resident mixes, and some surprises…

To start the new year and new chapter off proper, we head to Oakland to bring you a set from Dirt (Cymbalic Recordings / Techno Truth). Known for his infamous Wilderbeats events in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, going strong since 1999, Dirt is especially known for his half-tempo work, a "hybridization of Dubstep and Downtempo, combining beautiful guitar playing along side shifting textures and ever evolving atmospheres for late hours of the night or early mornings."

memekast mk043 » Kid Kameleon

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:53:54 -0800

This episode we get a visit from our homie at Surya Dub and XLR8R magazine, San Francisco's Kid Kameleon. A twleve-year veteran in the game, the Kid got his start in NYC's illbient scene in the late 90's as a member of DJ Spooky-affiliated Soundlab collective, quickly establishing a reputation as a selector not to be pigeonholed.

memekast mk042 » Daly City Records Takeover

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 00:03:28 -0800

DALY CITY RECORDS TAKEOVER NOTICE

This is Daly City Records... We have temporarily taken control of the Memekast to bring you a ton of new music that you NEED to hear. We've got six back to back sets from Daly City Records artists: MusSck, Lokae, Deceptikon, Monk Fly, Samples, and Mochipet!

memekast mk041 » Rastatronics

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:57:44 -0800

Back to the Bay this month for a session from dubstep soldier Rastatronics. Repping Subwize and MalLabel out of Santa Cruz and SF, respectively, Rastatronics has been pushing subs throughout the Westside with an unapologetically heavy sound. On the decks since 1998, he joined forces with fellow bass slinger 187 Sound System to found the Subwize crew in 2008. Since then they have brought more members on board, and worked collaboratively with other crews to push the dubstep sound in the greater Bay Area.

memekast mk040 » Chiral

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:34:21 -0800

The Memekast officially spins back into action this month from our new headquarters in New York City. Much is going on behind the scenes, and we will be introducing some new personnel this year, as well as expanding our primary geographical focus, which to date has been primarily the San Francisco Bay Area. Notably, our new base of operations places us in proximity to some highly capable operatives in NYC.

Speaking of personnel, for MK040 we are proud to introduce a longtime MK2 operative who has taken on the additional role of Memekast resident!

memekast mk039 » Tha Fruitbat

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:28:58 -0800

For this show we got a visit from Tha Fruitbat, reporting from Sacramento with a collection of originals and remixes. It's fast, hard breakbeat and electro — glitched, chopped, and beaten like the redheaded bastard lovechild of Si Begg, Aaron Spectre, and Audiovoid, having slipped each other GHB in the secretly shared hopes of setting off just such an unholy union. Don't picture it.

memekast mk038 » SexyTime

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:28:54 -0800

Welcome back, and thanks again for tuning in. For program 38, we present an exclusive mix from San Francisco's Sexytime. Comprised of Sleepyhead (LowPro Lounge) and Mimosa (Muti Music), this duo's sleek, dubbed out crunkstep will get that fine ass shakin', and rattle your man's grill right out his mouth.

memekast mk037 » djSpaceInvader

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 20:49:42 -0800

After about a year and a half of slacking, Memekast resident and founder, djSpaceInvader, decided to stop by for a half-hour shift. We asked him where the hell he's been and he replied, "Time is bullshit."

Be that as it may, there are really only so many times we can listen to that Ce'Cile track. Seriously, it's time for a new mix. You're up.

memekast mk036 » Mochipet

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:09:16 -0800

Well it has been a while, hasn't it? Our heartfelt apologies for leaving you without your fix for so long. But the Memekast is officially back in action, and to kick off 2009, we brought the HEAT.

Representing Daly City Records in California, we're delighted to present 40 minutes of all new, unreleased material from Mochipet. If you haven't heard of Mochipet through his work with artists like Spank Rock, Kid606, Ellen Alien, and Otto Von Schirach (on such labels as Tigerbeat6, Bpitchcontrol, or his own Daly City imprint), then perhaps you've read about him in the Village Voice, URB, XLR8R, or SF Bay Guardian. Or heard his tracks while you were watching Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, or Ray Barbee on Fuel TV.

Yeah, we didn't exactly discover this guy. But we're honored to share this exclusive set with our listeners.

memekast mk035 » vinylminds

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 20:05:20 -0800

Today's episode finds MK2 scattered between Chicago, DC, and SF, a perfect time to reach to more distant shores for a guest selector.

For episode 35, we're pleased to present Melbourne's vinylminds (AKA Superpolitik), a dj/producer and co-owner of breaks/down-tempo label Trickery Collective. Classically trained, he also studied jazz and improvisational guitar & piano, and spent much of the 90's playing in funk & rock bands. But as the millennium turned over, he put his guitar on the shelf and reached instead for a sequencer.

memekast mk034 » Piotron

Sat, 24 May 2008 22:03:48 -0800

As we resume somewhat regular updates, we bring you a set from Piotron, representing San Francisco's infamous DownLow crew. Purveyors of fine underground and renegade events since 2005, DownLow has quickly established a reputation for excellence among connoisseurs of toxic beaches, veggie-fueled party buses, and other unorthodox venues.

memekast mk033 » Niles

Sat, 10 May 2008 21:50:19 -0800

After a short break (you thought you were rid of us), we're back with resident selector Niles. Once again he unleashes the fury, utilizing state of the art precision-guided rhythms and devastating low frequency pulse technology. When you're ready for some more, check out his personnel file for more sets, including previous Memekast transmissions and a new live set from Connectivate.

memekast mk032 » Audio1

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 13:45:47 -0800

Aw hell naw.

You may have noticed our transmission was hijacked today... Actually we've been nagging San Mateo's Audio1 to put out a new episode of his Pop That Trunk podcast for a while now. But I guess with two club residencies, four net radio shows (two live and two podcasts), and always a party somewhere to be rocked, the man's been keeping pretty busy.

memekast mk031 » Nick Argon

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:49:17 -0800

As the Memekast resumes broadcasting from the GhettoBox, we brought in Bay Area dubstep champion and Argon label-founder Nick Argon. Started in 1999, the first few releases on Argon Records were drum & bass tunes primarily from San Diego's Stratus and Static of Australia, with appearances by Profound Noize, Gridlok, and others. With the release of Matty G's For the Smokers / Bitter Love 12" in 2006, Argon announced the beginning of a new chapter, focused on the slower, grimier sounds of dubstep.

memekast mk030 » MurdaSloth

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 18:10:38 -0800

We're back with a very special Valentine's Day gift for all of you. I know it might seem odd for me to wax romantic, but I recently discovered an entity that I think I feel genuine affection for. I know how much MK2 loves all of you, so I wanted to share this feeling.

memekast mk029 » EPROM

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 19:04:51 -0800

I don't know if y'all heard about this psyphy movement we got goin' on out here in tha Bay? Well we got a heavy-handed pimp slapper for you this week to help you get familiar, courtesy of SF's EPROM. It'll make ya psyphy. It'll make ya stunt. Might make ya lose your face, nuthin left but gold fronts.

Then it'll slap them fake-ass shits out too. BAP!

memekast mk028 » Evinrude

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 23:36:43 -0800

For our first episode of 2008 we bring you a RAGER from San Francisco's Evinrude (Stimulus, Netamp). One of the Bay's few remaining all-vinyl DJ's, he's been a functioning vinyl junky for about a decade, selling his drums for the stuff shortly after getting hooked.

He started making himself known in the Bay Area around 2000, slinging a special recipe of hard trance, acid, energy, and breaks under the moniker Darth. A few years later he joined forces with Dirt and Nugz to start breaks weekly Broke-Ass, and launched a monthly at the now-defunct @lpha Bar called Smoke Breaks. He also briefly ran a weekly called Crooked at Nickie's on Haight Street, which was interrupted by the gentrification of that venue.

memekast mk027 » Resynthesize

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 00:18:15 -0800

For our final episode of 2007, we pick up where Genji left off last month; with Sacramento's Resynthesize! Nah, we didn't plan it - we're just tapped in like that.

memekast mk026 » Genji

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 17:52:29 -0800

This episode we bring you a set from Genji (Syatic Media, Loud Ass Bastards, Word of Mouth). Originally hailing from Atlanta, Genji has been making music since 1990, and DJing since 2000. In 2002 he bounced to SoCal and then up to the Bay, making appearances alongside RAW, Infiltrada, Mr. Projectile, Boreta, RD, and many others. Current projects include collaborations with Pusher (as Toeknuckle), Audiovoid (as Exact Change), Beytah, Dirt, and more.

memekast mk025 » Ganucheau

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 02:41:47 -0800

We're back with a very special episode from Bay Area composer Ganucheau.

A New Orleans native, Matt Ganucheau has been performing electronic music for over 8 years. In 2004 he graduated from the Berklee College of Music with degrees in Film Scoring and Music Synthesis. Since relocating to the Bay to pursue a career in sound design and composition, he has completed three short film scores, a full featured game score, and has had several pieces appear on international compilations. He currently teaches sound design for video games at the Expression College for Digital Arts.

memekast mk024 » Cumulus

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 22:29:47 -0800

For our first broadcast from our new space (yeah, we moved again), we bring a custom selection from SF Bay Area dj/producer Cumulus (Word of Mouth, Loud Ass Bastards, Syatic Media). Our guest originally hails from Santa Barbara, where he helped run JustUs Productions and their flagship Synaesthesia series, and spent summers throwing full moon parties with Word of Mouth. During this time he developed a reputation for deep, dark, heavy sounds and long, detailed mixes. Playing mostly drum & bass under the moniker Sam I Am*, he also made appearances in Los Angeles, alongside veteran selectors like Dj Dara, Infiltrata, and Reid Speed.

memekast mk023 » SeventhSwami

Sat, 08 Sep 2007 23:19:58 -0800

For magic episode 23, we turn the controls over to a self-proclaimed “missionary of music,” Sacramento’s SeventhSwami. Representing the Ambient Mafia, WantIt, and Escape Artists, Swami is the artchetypical DJ as shaman, his mission to “Raise more people’s spiritual awareness through the ecstatic dance experience.”

Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:54:13 -0800

After intense trilateral negotiations, mk2 has secured the rights to an exclusive advance broadcast of the first installment in the GhettoBox Sessions mix series, featuring our own djSpaceInvader. Recorded at the GhettoBox on San Francisco's scenic Capp St, this dark and dutty transmission features many of our 8-bit villain's own edits, bashups, and refixes.

For best results, play extremely loud. Preferably in a poorly ventilated warehouse.

memekast mk021 » Mino

While all the cool kids were at Priceless, MK2 has been hard at work preparing episode 21, where we introduce our newest resident, San Francisco's Mino.

Originally hailing from Rhode Island, where he founded EMA and was a resident with Venom's now 13-year strong Volume Productions, Mino now holds residencies in SF with Word of Mouth, The Extra Credit, and, we're proud to announce, MK2 Reality Enhancement Systems.

By way of introduction, Mino brings us a glitchy blend of beauty and bass, moving between IDM, downtempo, and hip-hop like it ain't no thang.

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 21:36:46 -0800

This episode's guest, SatsiSonik, has put in ten solid years in the San Francisco underground and Burning Man communities. As a VJ, he has held down a ton of residencies with the likes of Wicked, Dimension 7, Raindance, Get Freaky!, Slide, Stimulus, and Symbiosis.

He has recently begun to focus more on music, both in the studio and on the mic as an MC with the Lawgiverz, Audiovoid, Neptune, Evinrude, Laird, and others. He currently has DJ residencies with Lush and Stimulus, as well as having formed his own crew called AMMO (Advanced MultiMedia Operatives), which focuses on music, film, and live event production.

For episode 20, he lays down 5 original tracks, with a little Modeselektor thrown in for good measure...

OK, it seems like everyone is done having the flu and hard drive crashes and blue screens of death, so we're gonna get you guys all caught up. We sincerely apologize for holding out, and promise to work on improving our defenses against future biological and data attacks.

For episode 19, we dove into all that chaos and emerged with this gem by San Francisco's Kitty-D. Through deadly viral attack, constant performances in and out of the Bay Area, and near-catastrophic equipment failure, Kitty-D managed to find time to mix down a multi-track live improv session of his own original tracks, remixes, and collaborations.

Most well known for his involvement in the Glitch Mob, Kitty-D has also been hard at work on collaborations with Random Rab (as Flowers of Wraith), Ooah (The Seedling Escape), and Goldilox (Goldilox+Kitty-D). The Seedling Escape's Photosynthesis mix is available now at Fake Science, with appearances by Random Rab, LayerZ (aka Audiovoid), and Epcot.

memekast mk018 » Welder

Mon, 14 May 2007 23:11:04 -0800

Welder is a new addition to the West Coast. While he is also known for works released as Eskmo, which focus on a heavy, dance floor oriented sound, Welder represents his more melodic and subtle downtempo side. His debut LP Vines and Stream was released by Cyberset (SF) at the end of 2006 and has since been working in the studio on original works as well as collaborations with Rena Jones, Brian Seed, and Minus Music (featuring Knick from Evol Intent) to name a few.

A couple reviews from Vines and Stream...

"Vines frequently delights through its heavily melodic instrumentals hosting considerable atmospheres and wide sound palettes... oozing with melodic content." - Barcode Magazine

"Request it, listen to it, then buy it - you won't be disappointed." - Lounging Sound

For the memekast Welder has put together a set of 6 songs from the album and has added live keys, cuts and vocal tweeking to the mix.

Thu, 19 Apr 2007 01:51:25 -0800

In our continuing efforts to prop suspected leaders of the mediocrity resistance movement, this installment we bring you a transmission from Neuronaut. According to our intelligence reports, Neuronaut, a Cambridge UK-born solo agent currently operating from San Francisco "explores a wide gamut of possible stimulation to the auditory nodes through ambient, down-tempo, breaks, glitch, and dubstep musical modalities."

He is also known to have co-founded at least one splinter group of notable influence, a key provider of material support known as Addictech. In addition to a fully deployable 20,000 watt sound system, this highly active cell's assets also include a staggering cache of sonic materiel available as digital downloads, vinyl, and CDs; as well as a new label whose agent roster includes Neuronaut, Future Funk Squad, SOTEG, Lawgiverz, and Habersham.

For MK016 he has prepared an exclusive set of 5 original, as-yet unreleased tracks. You might feel a slight tingling in the brain as the patterns install themselves; this is normal with any effective neurotemplating device. Trust him, he knows what he's doing.

Also we're really glad he's on our side.

Laaaaawdamercy...

Anyone who describes her own sound as "glitched out, sexed up, low freq, hyphy, bassy, krunked strip-hop" is probably my kind of dj. So i went after Mob Bostress Ana Sia for a mix, and hot damn did she deliver.

After barely over a year behind the decks, Ana is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with. Frequently appearing alongside her boys, California's notorious Glitch Mob, she has recently been dropping the bottom out of such venues as Element NYC, 1015 Folsom, the XenoDrome, Retox Lounge, Supperclub, and various underground spots on and off the playa.

For the memekast, she drops eleven tracks of deep, sexy, bass-heavy glitch-hop and grime, including a spankin' new original track to get things rolling. And when i say deep, i mean deep.

Sat, 03 Mar 2007 19:25:39 -0800

Since relocating from Cape Town, South Africa in 1994, San Francisco's Dov has kept busy throwing events, distributing records, developing labels, producing tracks, Djing around the Bay, the US, EU, and South Africa.. uh let's see... bringing all those UK breaks labels into California back in the 90's (Fuel, Botchit, Mechanoise...), running the first (and several subsequent) breaks weeklies in SF, finding Kraddy and Kemek and putting out their first records, along with releases from E.V.A.C., Future Funk Squad, An*ten*nae, Audiovoid, and a bunch more on his own label, Muti Music.

Muti was started in 2002, and has been steadily uncovering and publishing emerging artists from California and the UK, with releases ranging from tough UK-style breaks and hard electro to dark, minimal dubstep and heavy midtempo bangers.

Dov drops an exclusive mix on us this month, seven tracks of funky, heavy electro and breaks. This is late at night, covered in sweat, pushing through bodies so you can find the sweet spot on the dancefloor kinda shit, mostly Muti releases and pre-releases. Enjoy...

Representing Muti Music and MDEX, Audiovoid has been practicing his dark, funky brand of mind control since 1998, both under the Audiovoid moniker and as LayerZ. His most recent full length release is called Whispers from Shadowz, and is available online only, from Fake Science. His last CD, Disconnect Yourself, is on MDEX and can be purchased from the MDEX shop or as a digital release on Beatport and iTunes. He also has a ton of tracks available from Addictech, with more being added.

For our twelfth episode he subjects us to 9 original tracks, two of which are previously unreleased, all of which are nasty. Get ready to take it right in the earhole. You know you want it.

It's that time again! Which reminds me... we're rolling out a new feature this month. It's a little something we refer to affectionately as "twice as many episodes." Starting... NOW! We will be releasing a new episode every two weeks. Now, i know what you're saying. "Twice as much memekast? Won't that like... rip a hole in the universe or something?"

And it might.

I, for one, am willing to take that risk.

To mark the occasion, i contacted a very skilled agent, and founder of one of our favorite corporate allies, benchun of False Profit, LLC.

For those who don't know, False Profit hit San Francisco in 2000 like a 7.5, with a relentless series of aftershocks at their corporate headquarters at 43 Norfolk lasting five years. During that time, benchun held down a two-year run of Wednesday's at Wish (with Halon of Fake Science), later called Samurai Soundsystem (with Joe Encarnacion of BFamily Records). He started FP's monthly Dividend events at 26Mix, later moving them to Nickie's in the Lower Haight. Dividend continues under the direction of other FP agents, currently at Anu. He also started their monthly happy hour at Il Pirata, Equity, with Boreta from Nexus. He was instrumental in orchestrating the legendary Priceless campout.

He also rolls with the Space Cowboys, has rocked the Unimog in BRC, Tahoe, Breakfast of Champions...

Yeah, the list totally goes on. But you get the point. Checkit:

Sun, 31 Dec 2006 08:27:50 -0800

Happy New Year! I know it's been a while but the memekast is officially back in action (don't call it a comeback). We're on a new host, we got a new site, and there's a whole bunch in store for 2007 (big tings a gwan). Like a ton of guests that have been waiting patiently while we sorted out the troubles.

To kick off the new year, MK2 is very proud to present San Francisco's Djeeno (Word of Mouth, Infinite Kaos), who i personally have been looking forward to having on for a while.

Originally from Santa Barbara, Djeeno has been a resident with Word of Mouth since their first event in 1999, and has continued his involvement with them both on their home turf and here in the Bay as they've expanded northward. Since relocating to SF in 2000 he's also been deeply involved with Infinite Kaos and Opel/Opulent Temple, twistin' heads on and off the playa with his tripped out arrangements and basslines that i'm pretty sure he poured out of a meteorite.

For our tenth episode, he brings us an eclectic mix of glitchy, heady, psychedelic brain food for heads to nod to and booties to shake to. Most of these tracks are unreleased originals, some produced solo and a couple with Chris Sia as Copal. Enjoy...

Ok, we're gonna be behind for a few episodes, please bear with us. Nuff drama, some positive tings, some challenges. Continued technical difficulties have kept Adegen out of the rotation again - we're starting to feel like chumps saying "next month" every month, so we're just gonna keep you in suspense and bring it when we bring it.

But this month's big announcement is a recent personnel acquisition. Joining our audio mind control unit in San Francisco is Niles, a skilled vinyl media technician who was a founding member of Love Street Productions, throwing warehouse and desert parties in Phoenix, Arizona. He comes to the decks for this episode with a long player for the haters - 50 minutes of dancefloor destroyers inna dubby new-school style. Like mom used to make.

Better late than never, right?

Well we at least have a somewhat decent excuse: MK2 was straight up gentrified out of our beloved Nob Valley headquarters in SF (that's a real estate joke, for those outside "The City" — true story though). It was a Russian Mafiya job, complete with structural sabotage, cut telephone/internet lines, and a game of good cop / bad cop (but with Russian gangsters instead of cops).

Anyway, we're in a temporary space while we sort it all out (in the Avenues, surrounded by Russians, as luck would have it), and... here's a mix from dj_SpaceInvader, hope you get it in time for the drive...

Summer is in full swing in places with real seasons, but here in San Francisco if we want it hot we have to take matters into our own hands. Enter Jocelyn, who turns up the heat this month with a sexy session of electro-house naughtiness.

A veteran of the Bay Area underground, Jocelyn was a primary organizer and DJ for the only series of events that I've ever known to spawn an actual, official religious organization (the legendary Fusion campout events). Currently she (along with Adam Ohana) runs San Francisco's Get Freaky events at 1015 Folsom, a consistently bangin' monthly party that has hosted Adam Freeland, Krafty Kuts, Stanton Warriors, Freq Nasty, and Tipper, to name a few. Get Freaky will be celebrating their third anniversary in September (congratulations!), so make sure your calendar is clear for September 8 (and you might want to go ahead and keep the ninth clear for recovery).

Thu, 01 Jun 2006 00:00:17 -0800

Summer's rollin' up on us this month, and just to make sure we get it started right, we brought in an expert. For June, San Francisco's Stepwise comes correct with a collection of his own exclusive dancehall remixes.

This Argentinian-born DJ/producer has been spinning records for the last decade, played just about everywhere there is to play in SF, lived in Australia for two years (where he held down three weeklies), and is now back in the Bay representing Audiopharmacy (respect).

You can hear more when the official mix CD drops (REmix 101, due late June), and be on the look for Stepwise remix 45's (in stores now). Nuff live dates too, including June 24 at the Canvas Gallery with Daneekah, Jocelyn (mk007 coming next month), DJ SpaceInvader, Sixtwentyone, and Adegen. More info will posted about that event soon.

For epsiode 6, Stepwise gives us a sneak preview of what's coming up when that mix CD drops, with 24 big, 808-heavy, crunky as hell remixes of top dancehall cuts from Vybz Cartel, Buju Banton, Capleton, and more.

Mon, 01 May 2006 03:35:50 -0800

For our fifth episode, San Francisco basspimp Kraddy steps up with 30 minutes of that glitchy, electro dancehall hip-hop kind of shit that no one has a name for. We eat that shit up. We think it's representative of an emergent musical (and we're gonna go ahead and say cultural) paradigm powered by the disassembly of genre boundaries and skillful application of technology. And we love how it just make a booty shake.

Kraddy has been involved in music production since interning at a San Francisco recording studio in 1996, and has produced for a variety of projects, including bay area hip-hop innovators Paris and Mystik Journeymen, dance companies Capacitor and the Printz Dance Project, and various films and commercials. His original tracks and remixes have been shaking dancefloors in the US and abroad, with support from the likes of Dave Tipper, Freq Nasty, and Bassnectar.

memekast mk004 » DJ Tropik

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 12:59:15 -0800

The memekast for April 2006 is dedicated to the memory of Scott Ricks, aka DJ Tropik.

Tropik was ubiquitous throughout the DC metro scene from the mid-nineties until he took his own life in February of this year. With more or less constant appearances all over the East Coast and beyond, and several track releases (including two for the soundtrack of the acclaimed MTV film Better Luck Tomorrow), Scott's creative capacity seemed endless. And although those of us who were fortunate enough to know him personally got a glimpse of the hard work and dedication he relentlessly poured into his deejaying and production, it was such a natural part of his movement through this world that it appeared effortless.

The set for this episode is one of his last recordings. It was never released, and was played at his tribute party at Cubik in Washington DC on April 7 [photos].

A fund has been set up in his name with the National Mental Health Association (NMHA). If you can, please consider making a donation to the Scott Matthew Ricks Suicide Prevention Fund. This donation will go toward NMHA suicide prevention programs.

In a scene often characterized by cliquishness and hyper-competitiveness, Scott Tropik was about as close to universally respected as one can get. He was loved by many, many people, and will not be forgotten. We're happy to share a little bit of his light with our listeners. Enjoy.

memekast mk003 » Daneekah

Sat, 11 Mar 2006 21:45:33 -0800

For March the memekast presents Daneekah (aka Miss Trees), and we hope you're ready.

Hailing from Australia, where she held residencies at Melbourne's Burning New, Mash It Up, and Ruff Enuff weeklies, Daneekah is currently posted in San Francisco, and has been making appearances around town (most recently with with bay area hip-hop supercrew Audiopharmacy). For this month's memekast she drops thirty (30 [three-oh]) tracks of absolutely bangin' dancehall. If you're in the bay area, keep an ear to the ground—you'll be hearing more from this one.
