Hard techno and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Bradley"&gt;board games&lt;/a&gt;, the guy does it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/SjZ749m6ReI/AAAAAAAAALc/qZAp1p2z3KM/s1600-h/dnrtbfront.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/SjZ749m6ReI/AAAAAAAAALc/qZAp1p2z3KM/s320/dnrtbfront.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347597826089698786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/SjZ75L5FIiI/AAAAAAAAALk/VgQPUlv8tUU/s1600-h/dnrtbback.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/SjZ75L5FIiI/AAAAAAAAALk/VgQPUlv8tUU/s320/dnrtbback.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347597829924004386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more techno I play, the more I learn that every techno producer has six different aliases or are in involved in numerous groups.

This week I played a track from the new &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/jamesruskin2006"&gt;James Ruskin&lt;/a&gt; record, also on Blueprint.  Of course, they are one in the same.

Why didn't anyone tell me?  I not a huge fan of the newer &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/tectonicrecordings"&gt;Tectonic&lt;/a&gt; releases, and the Loefah track is on cd 2, which is a mixed cd, and I'm not crazy about mixed cds, so I overlooked the whole thing when it was released a few weeks ago.   I'm hoping this means that the track, "Just a Beat" will be released as a single.

If I really dig a song, my preference is to own the vinyl, but if its just an okay track, I’m cool having a digital copy.  These days, some of the dubstep/techno producers release songs only on mp3 (or wav or flac).   And mp3s don’t cost $$ to ship.   Buying new records every week starts to add up, kids.  99 cents for a digital track, or 13 dollars for a twelve inch.  You do the math.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lickthewrap.com/"&gt;Lick the Wrap&lt;/a&gt; is one mp3 only label I recently came across while browsing on &lt;a href="http://www.junodownload.com/"&gt;juno download&lt;/a&gt;.  There are only four artist on the label (Rare Dynamic, Intention, Derelict, Eleven8) at the moment, and the website reads they will be releasing vinyl soon.  I'm going to delve deeper into their catalog, and most likely will be playing more tunes from this Bristol based label in near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Sh1xDDnCskI/AAAAAAAAAJc/4XNyDB3akjw/s1600-h/lickthewrap.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Sh1xDDnCskI/AAAAAAAAAJc/4XNyDB3akjw/s320/lickthewrap.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340549030453883458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Sh1xDdXadeI/AAAAAAAAAJk/3kXLG2FN6PI/s1600-h/intention.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Sh1xDdXadeI/AAAAAAAAAJk/3kXLG2FN6PI/s320/intention.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340549037367653858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.redvolume.com/releases.html"&gt;Redvolume&lt;/a&gt; records in Sweden (not to be confused with Norwary as I did on air) posted a few digital exclusive releases on boomkat last week, including the banger 8 Bit Lover from &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/vesicledub"&gt;Vesicle&lt;/a&gt;.  They focus on releasing records from Scandanavian producers, and have put out stuff from the likes of Tes La Rok and L-Wiz.

I don't know how &lt;a href="http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/"&gt;Bike Snob NYC &lt;/a&gt;does three or more a week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah, I don't feel up to posting too much for this week's show.  But do tune in to next week's show to hear special guests &lt;a href="http://excusemewhileifoldmypants.blogspot.com/"&gt;Leila and Her Weird Friend&lt;/a&gt; spin some dub reggae and dubstep.  It should be a great show.  I'd suggested that those guys do a &lt;a href="http://www.wzbc.org/"&gt;WZBC&lt;/a&gt; summer fill-in show, but unfortunately their talents are in high demand they can't commit to a weekly show on a low wattage college radio station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will suggest to prick up your ears for two upcoming releases that I started of the program with (thank you &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/maryannehobbs/"&gt;Mary Anne Hobbbs&lt;/a&gt;); "&lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Gravious/_/Vultures"&gt;Vultures&lt;/a&gt;" by &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/gravious"&gt;Gravious&lt;/a&gt; due out 05.11, on &lt;a href="http://highpointlowlife.com/"&gt;Highpoint Lowlife Records&lt;/a&gt;, and "Bullet A' Go Fly" by DVA featuring Badness, Riko, Flowdan, and Killa P out soon in Dusk and Blackdown's label, &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/keysoundrecordings"&gt;Keysound&lt;/a&gt;.  M.A.H. gave a dirty wurds disclaimer before playing that track, but I didn't hear anything offensive (but then again I couldn't understand anything because of their accents and slang), and hopefully neither did the FCC, but their flow is great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/SgjhWSPXAYI/AAAAAAAAAJE/xWD_Pxk-whM/s1600-h/gravious.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/SgjhWSPXAYI/AAAAAAAAAJE/xWD_Pxk-whM/s320/gravious.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334761531589984642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I saw D&amp;amp;B play with &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/loefah"&gt;Loefah&lt;/a&gt; a while back at &lt;a href="http://www.musicislove.net/"&gt;Love&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/appleblim"&gt;Appleblim&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/paulhotflush"&gt;Scuba&lt;/a&gt; there on .05.15), they dropped a few great grime tracks.  And played it LOUD.  But in a good way.  Some of the loudest sounds I've heard; actually felt the bass vibrate my clothing.  Although I'll probably never experience anything louder than Judas Priest at the Worcester Centrum, 1982.

They just re-relesed a few of 12"s, as well as a new split from &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/marceldettmann"&gt;Marcel Dettman&lt;/a&gt; and Regis.  In the tradition of underground techno, the label is "anti-image" and does not have a website or email or much online prescence, but you can read an interview with Dave Sumner, aka &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/functioninfrastructure"&gt;Function&lt;/a&gt;, on residentadvisor.net &lt;a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature-read.aspx?id=913"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

The main focus is bass.  For you face.  I don't want to be one of "those" deejays who needs to play his/her entire record collection each show to demonstrate how diverse are their musical taste.

I'm not sure I feel about this new feature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think its great if someone who listens to my show and hears a song they like, can easily find someplace to purchase the song through my playlist and wzbc.org.  But I don't do the show to sell product, and don't want FTB or WZBC to be thought of as a home shopping network for underground music.  And I definitely don't want artists or label owners "suggesting" I play their records more to help increase their sales.   When I was a summer fill-in music director at &lt;a href="http://wmua.org/"&gt;another radio station&lt;/a&gt;, I had to put up with marketing/promotional types who would call me weekly to track their record's play count, and "suggest" that I put their record in heavy rotation.  F*** that.

While kids were jacking at the Music Box in Chi-town, I was slamming at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence.  I just received &lt;a href="http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=231"&gt;this cd compilation&lt;/a&gt; in the mail, so look forward to hearing &lt;a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Phuture"&gt;Phuture&lt;/a&gt;'s 12 minute Acid opus "Acid Tracks" next show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few years back, I happened upon hearing &lt;a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Japanese+Telecom"&gt;Japanese Telecom&lt;/a&gt;.  A few months after that, I first heard &lt;a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Dopplereffekt"&gt;Dopplereffekt&lt;/a&gt;.  Yet only last week did I discover both groups were the work of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Donald"&gt;Gerald Donald&lt;/a&gt;.  The man is extremely prolific, so I won't list all his aliases or groups here, but if you're interested in learning and hearing more, a lot more, check out the &lt;a href="http://drexciyaresearchlab.blogspot.com/"&gt;Drexciya Research Lab&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Se33-KF0R5I/AAAAAAAAAHU/GicNNWuuPWU/s1600-h/zwischenwelt"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 127px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Se33-KF0R5I/AAAAAAAAAHU/GicNNWuuPWU/s320/zwischenwelt" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327186581481867154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/cloaks"&gt;Cloaks&lt;/a&gt; bring proper darkness on their lastest release on 3BY3 records.

Three request actually.  I’m sincerely appreciative that people are listening.  But…I don’t ask for requests.  When I give out the phone number and IM name, I preface it by saying something like “if you have any questions about what I’m playing, contact at…”  Maybe tonight I didn’t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t want to come across as a music snob, although I am (but don’t want to come across as one), or an a**hole, which I can be on occasion, but asking for requests creates problems for me.  I intended to give the reasons why this is so, but that would make me come across a bigger a**hole than already perceived, and lazy too (which I'm not).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Shakespeare wrote “I am the DJ, I am what I play,” allow me to command the ship and we will get to our destination safely and in comfort.  Just sit back and enjoy the view.  And by view, I mean music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had been looking forward all week to playing &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/slaughtermob"&gt;Slaughter Mob’s&lt;/a&gt; “&lt;a href="http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=167360"&gt;Walk of the Wicked&lt;/a&gt;” (which I now see is listed as “Treachery” on their myaspace page; again I come incorrect with the wrong info).  A slow wobbler; great tune.  And then I start it on the wrong speed.  D’oh.

When I first heard the El-B tracks on &lt;a href="http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=23198"&gt;Dubstep Allstars Vol. 1&lt;/a&gt;, I wasn't impressed, in fact a bit disappointed.  I expected a more crushing, louder, wobwobwob bass sound similar to &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/loefah"&gt;Loefah&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/skreamuk"&gt;Skream&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/bengabeats"&gt;Benga&lt;/a&gt;, and the lot.  Yet, I kept reading his name as one of the originators of the dubstep sound, along with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower_Productions"&gt;Horsepower Productions&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/zedbias"&gt;Zed Bias&lt;/a&gt;, so I kept his file open, so to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When &lt;a href="http://www.tempa.co.uk/index.html"&gt;Tempa&lt;/a&gt; records announced the release of the Roots of El-B compilation, and posted &lt;a href="http://www.dubplate.net/Search.aspx?search_term=el-b&amp;amp;narrow="&gt;audio clips&lt;/a&gt; from the vinyl sampler, and cd, I listened to them.  And listened again.  And again.  And then, finally, I understood; the complex drumming, the sub-bass, and the the swing.  Nine years late, but that's me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://boomkat.com/"&gt;boomkat.com&lt;/a&gt; has a nice description of the soon to be released cd and some history &lt;a href="http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=164772"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can listen again to all four songs from the vinyl sampler I played on this weeks show at the start of the 12am hour, 03.28.09, on &lt;a href="http://zbconline.com/"&gt;zbconline.com&lt;/a&gt; audio archives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Sc-UXbr684I/AAAAAAAAAE8/8L6Catb6UcM/s1600-h/elblp1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Sc-UXbr684I/AAAAAAAAAE8/8L6Catb6UcM/s320/elblp1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318632815237723010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Sc-UXO1T0XI/AAAAAAAAAE0/W0Rv89z3_0c/s1600-h/elblp2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSz1tIlvagE/Sc-UXO1T0XI/AAAAAAAAAE0/W0Rv89z3_0c/s320/elblp2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318632811787440498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few weeks ago, a listener called asking if I could recommend some contemporary dub reggae, and I replied, "um...&lt;a href="http://www.twilightcircus.com/"&gt;Twilight Circus&lt;/a&gt;?"  And then I went blank.  So, I've been trying to step up my game and add some more current dub sounds to my playlist.  Although I'm finding it difficult to overcome my bias that dub has to be recorded in Jamaica, during the mid 1970's to early 1980's, and remixed by an engineer from master tapes of rhythm tracks, I did find some artists I like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started this show off with tracks by &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/ticklah"&gt;Ticklah&lt;/a&gt; from 2007, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_&amp;amp;_Heavy"&gt;Dry &amp;amp; Heavy &lt;/a&gt;with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Jammy"&gt;King Jammy&lt;/a&gt; from 2000, &lt;a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Twilight+Circus+Dub+Sound+System?anv=Twilight+Circus"&gt;Twilight Circus&lt;/a&gt; from 2003, &lt;a href="http://www.discogs.com/Various-Hi-Fidelity-Dub-Sessions-Presents-Roots-Combination/release/12353"&gt;4th Avenue Rockers&lt;/a&gt; from 2001.

But I was wrong on both counts.  The song is Yout Man by Revolt Op, and readily available on &lt;a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;amp;friendid=144527739"&gt;Mode Recordings&lt;/a&gt;.
