DJ Les Rhoda: Recent Episodes
Les Rhoda
Chunks of a few recent mashup lab jams I slapped together on my phone. Sloppy rough draft ish that I shouldn’t post but I’m way too stoked rn 🤘👽
Dance party for a crew of performers after an infamous burlesque show at Geno’s (Portland, ME 2017)
One day when I was 16 I grew frustrated with all of the fast-forwarding and rewinding I had to do when listening to my massive collection of tapes, I just wanted to be able to hear my favorite parts all in a row, namely the 80S guitar and drum god solos I was in love with at the time. I had also recently gotten hip to the herb and that definitely was facilitating this desire.
I had a huge boombox with dual cassette decks and I figured out how to make edits by 1) rewinding the record tape by hand a few millimeters and then 2) depressing the Play and Rec/Play decks at just the right offset to get the cut.
I was pretty stoked about this...soon my Van Halen/Neil Peart wankfest became something a bit more....
I would make two more of these tapes, each about two years apart. Sadly, I've lost them...super bummed about the last one as it made when I was in college and had discovered John Zorn and Frank Zappa....that collage was insane!!
Anyway...this obviously where it all began for me. My first fire mixtape!
p.s. I don't expect anyone to sit all the way through this but comments are certainly encouraged if you dig it or find yourself lost down a nostalgia-hole...

Early Acid 3.0 experiment, acap from one of my Negativland buddies and samples from Langley School Music Project, Michael J Taylor, the infamous "Pa's Outta Control" tape, my Yamaha EX-7, neighbor up home's barbershop group, and Wesley Willis.
The beat was just a hip hop acid loop sped up..."oh so that's what drum n bass is" haha...

Quickie warmup set in the bassment @ Club Z. Rick loves the stealthy wubs so I threw down a (mostly) 140 set for him before cutting out for a bit to catch Lee Scratch Perry (!!!) Got back in time to watch Wubson slay the room...killer night.

Rec. @ Beltek Festival - Belmont, ME - 8.01.15 11pm - 12 direct support for Aphrodite
Forgot to record for the first chunk of my set at Beltek so I spliced in the intro to my set at Great North Festival (along with the Freakquency megamix because I dig that jam way too much!). Hope you enjoy what is easily my favorite set of 2015! Much love and respect to my Beltek and Great North fam!
from June 2013 Mix, halfway thru I pay homage to my first genre love...psytrance. So the mix flips...and stays there. Just when you realize that you're getting seduced by the power of psychedelic trance...boom...it's a trap.
