16. Brother Blue / Shoreline Drive 56:17

There are a couple of old favorites in here - the Elting Lieb track, the third Monocromo track (I've now played all three of those on this program), See Mi Version. But my current favorite from this selection is Deadbeat's Organ In The Attic Sings The Blues. That whole album, Wild Life Documentaries, is fantastic.

I've been listening to dub techno all month. Something about dubby music in spring seems right to me. I'm sure I'll play more next week, so check back for that.

Dub techno, electro, future garage. Wandering through a few different styles in this show.

15. Scuba / Negative 49:06
16. Hajimari / Finally Free 54:13
17. Manu Shrine / Sediment 56:36

This is a mix in three segments. T++ (AKA Torsten Pröfrock)'s track Aquatic starts things off with a rainy mood; that's my favorite from the first 20 minutes. Hadamard's Currents (Arctic) is my pick from the second segment, from his relatively recent Flux EP. From the last six tracks, I'll highlight Scuba's Negative for its clear dub-techno sound.

I enjoy UK garage (2-step, and the styles it has influenced), but my knowledge and selection is limited. The Burial-like strain of future garage is particularly cool, represented here by Ghostek, Hajimari, and Manu Shrine. I'm glad to have run back about 20 minutes of it this week.

This one's pretty good. Good enough, anyway. Shoutout and thanks to DRXT for the sweet dub techno track; see you down at the arcade soon, friend.

Ambient, downtempo, and weird stuff this week. Winding down from DJing at the arcade last night.

This episode’s recording did not stop when the show did, so unfortunately it ended up being nine hours long. One hour of MTT, eight hours of robot DJ Kumata. It's still available here, or linked as the spectrogram above.

1. Frequent C / Skyward 00:00
2. Massive Attack vs. Mad Professor / Protection (Radiation Ruling The Nation) 02:36
3. Hong Kong Express / Unfinished Business 09:50
4. Meat Beat Manifesto / Addiction 12:30
5. Skull / Destroy All Monsters 16:18
6. DJ Krush ft. KK / Rust 20:42
7. Flying Lotus / Golden Diva 23:44
8. Boards Of Canada / Turquoise Hexagon Sun 27:32
9. Kouichi Yamazaki / A Point Of No Return 32:04
10. Photek / DNA 35:06
11. Depeche Mode / Barrel Of A Gun (Smith's Soft Mix) 40:10
12. Keef Baker / ar53 44:47
13. Three Tragic Myths / Blossom 48:09
14. Coil / Windowpane (12" Version) 52:47
15. Frequent C / Spinning In The Field 58:24

Boards Of Canada, Depeche Mode, Flying Lotus, and Josh Walund all in the same hour. That's some kind of achievement, I think. The first 40 minutes of this is pretty good, but the end falls apart a bit. That's alright though, still good tracks.

So this is the first show of year 3. For the last 104 shows, 104 hours, I haven't repeated a track. (As near as I can tell, anyway). That was a restriction I imposed on myself when I started. Over the last two years I've more or less run through both my knowledge and the best of my music collection. I'm lifting that restriction now, and I'm going to start repeating individual songs. I'll make an effort to not repeat runs or specific mixes.

Thank you all for listening this past year, and thank you aNONradio for hosting my program.

Megaphysics and I played our regular monthly show - Logical Aggression at Ground Kontrol - last night. Megaphysics opened the night playing electro, house, and techno from 9:00 PM until approximately 11:30 PM. Then I took over with a mixture of breaks, downtempo, electro, and pieces of MTT 100.

And to close the night, Megaphysics played one more track:

1. Derrick May / Strings Of Life (Francesco Tristano Version)

Was a good show! Both Megaphysics and myself had good sets. I'm glad I got to play those new (well, new-to-me) Subtle Audio tracks.

Wandering my way through some techno this episode. I've been in a techno mood this month, it seems.

16. Minotaur Electronics / The Source 48:58
17. 3 Phase / Current 1 52:10
18. Morgan / Flowerchild 56:04

A couple of old favorites made it into this - Contact by the Space DJz, and Flowerchild by Morgan. Contact has a rolling filtered delay sound that I love, a sound that's also on many old Bandulu tracks. (Which makes sense, because Space DJz is Jamie Bissmire & Ben Long of Bandulu). And Flowerchild is simply massive; I regret that I didn't time the mix right and couldn't play the track in full. The version played here is from The Advent's excellent Kombination Research compilation.

This doesn't flow quite right, and the mixing is overall uneven. But! There are a few nice transitions (Territory Of Fear to Numero Cycrypto), and I like all of these tracks. Good enough.

Electro this week; working through some tracks I've been meaning to play.

16. Morphology / Journey's End 49:11
17. Gosub / Mind Travel Method 53:37
18. The Other People Place / Moonlight Rendezvous 58:10

A few tracks by Kurt Baggaley (Scape One, Tactical Systems), a few by Dynarec, a couple of bits from Bass Agenda's Various Objekts compilations. Dynarec's Out Of Bounds in particular is a favorite of mine, from their excellent LP Overland Travelling on Nature Records. Found that one in a used bin at Anthem ~10 years ago.

This mix was thrown together as a reason to play Gosub's Mind Travel Method, a track I've been holding on to for a while. It doesn't quite work - the pacing is off a bit - but that's OK. Was a good way to spend an hour.

Detroit (and Dutch, and Australian...) electro this week. Fast and loose.

19. Perception / Mirage 51:55
20. Shake / Freeform 56:20
21. Stingray313 / Sphere Of Influence 57:40

This selection is similar to what I played back in MTT 055. A few tracks from Southern Outpost, a couple from Clone's The Men You'll Never See comp, one from The Advent's label Kombination Research, and then a whole stack of Detroit vinyl.

Dim 8's Two by Venechor (AKA Laura Grabb) has been a secret weapon of mine for a long time. Grabb has a bandcamp page full of proper hardcore techno, but those two Venechor tracks are my favorite. My copy is from the used techno bins at 360 Vinyl, and looks like it's been kicked around a bit.

Levels are pretty uneven during this show, and the whole thing is sloppy. But I managed to play Mirage and had a good time; that's enough for me.

Ambient & downtempo to close the month. ~75 BPM, a little creepy, a little sleepy.

9. Autechre / Stud 35:21
10. So Takahashi / Moca 38:20
11. Autechre / Yulquen 55:50

So Takahashi's Moca is my highlight this week. I bought that record used some time in the early 2000s for the locked grooves on side B. It took around five years before I sat down and paid attention to the A side, Moca. It's a real journey. I love the last 6 minutes in particular, for the gorgeous pads.

This show is pretty loose. I wish I'd remembered to play Stud in full - Moca works better mixed in to the end of Stud, instead of that breakdown. Ah well. Something to remember for next time.
