As the AfterHours show turns 20 years old this year, I made it a point to add in some classics such as DJ Food, 808 State, Moby and others while mixing in plenty of current material. The first 45 minutes are pretty chill, focusing on ambient, downtempo and even acid jazz. The rest forays into IDM (intelligent dance music), techno and electro. Something for everyone, enjoy and hope you'll join us for the reunion show (WKNC broadcasts in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC areas and you can listen online at wknc.org

This is sampling of what I've been listening to recently, a pretty diverse mix with ambient, broken beat, idm, electro, trap (fast melodic dubstep), a bit of chiptune, even a house track featuring a sample from a Howard Jones song. Most of these songs are pretty fresh and new although I dug in the crates to dust off a 1996 track by Sun Electric that mixed beautifully into the Kolombo. Enjoy.

This is the first half of my first mix ever that I mixed 20 years ago at the WKNC Studio. No CD burners then, it was mixing from turntable, cassette, DAT player and CD players direct to a mixtape in a non-stop recording, so if I screwed up I had to start the whole recording over again. I had lost the playlist and so I had to comb through my music collection for awhile to figure out all the tracks used. Enjoy a slice of electronic music from the early to mid 90's.

I put this mix together for a young man recovering from surgery and in need of a good diversion as he recuperates. Ewan Dallape', this mix is for you and anyone recovering from illness or in a deep funk and in need of uplift.

Since Ewan is young and rather new to electronic music, I thought I'd include many of what I consider the classics, artists who were pivotal in the success of electronic music while in its infancy as a genre (1990s). For this mix, that includes songs from Aphex Twin, The Future Sound of London, Richie Hawtin and Pete Namlook recording as their collaborative ensemble Air, Speedy J, Orbital, Fluke and of course Global Communication.
The Orbital song is a rendition of the Dr. Who theme that I was fortunate to see them perform live in NY weeks after 9/11, a bright spot in an otherwise somber time.

In addition to these, I included a remix of Depeche Mode, since Ewan's mother and I share a deep appreciation for their works over the years, and Ulrich Schnauss does them justice. Also included is a track from Martin Gore's new album entitled MG.

Enjoy, and Ewan, thoughts and prayers for you to have a swift recovery.
