Commonwealth Kids & A Friendly Game of Chess

2007-03-05T23:00:00.002-06:00

Once again, I will be taking over Mr. Daren Ho's "Eternal Rhythms" show this Monday, March 5th, 11 PM to 1 AM. Hour 2 will be a repeat of the mix "A Friendly Game of Chess" from the July 19th edition of my show, "Hooked on 'Tronics," but the first hour will feature a brand new mix from Buddy Peace and Carlo.

Although I have already played "A Friendly Game of Chess" for my show, it bears repeating for Monday night (and not just because it's a fantastic mix). This mix and the new mix, "Commonwealth Kids," were both created using the same technique: One DJ starts off the mix by crafting his own segment, then sends it to the other DJ, who continues the flow into his own segment, which is then sent back to the other DJ. This process continues until they have reached a length suitable for one CD. I have taken both of these mixes and edited them to one-hour-friendly versions, so they are not played in their entirety, but the feel of the mixes remains very much the same as the originals.

Oh yeah, check out the pretty amateurish cover art that I created for each mix. Here's an excerpt from an e-mail I received from Buddy Peace regarding the "Commonwealth Kids" cover art:

"Ahahahahaa!!

Fucking legendary!!!

That contains exactly the right amount of intensity David - you are a
very talented man, and I think you have just created the artwork for
the second pressing.

Amazing!

In a bit homie - thank you too much for the intense cover, it's phenomenal!

Printouts and stickers to come..."

Truthfully, I bet he was just trying to be nice.

Tonight, it's all DJ Qbert.

Hour 1: Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Musik (A Preskool Break Mix)

"Q-bert’s classic scratch b-boy mix hailed as “the greatest mixtape ever”...This piece has brought back the essence of what true school hip hop is all about and reminded everyone about the importance of breaks and the foundation of what the art was built on. Listen to the way Q cuts it up in ’94 old school style a year before he even invented the crab scratch!! Just make sure you leave enough room to breakdance..." - Boomkat.com

Hour 1: Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Musik (A Preskool Break Mix)

"It sounds like the maddest funk 45 dj set ever (think Cut Chemist, Shadow, Numark, doing a set on Ritalin and Crank). This set is very similar to the sets that Qbert uses at b-boys battles, I can only imagine the hysteria." - Turntable Lab (www.turntablelab.com)

OK, when I say that you can listen to this show using this URL what I mean to say is that sometime in the *near* future I will have a regularly scheduled "2nd chance replay" of each Hooked on 'Tronics show. Some people may find this excessive and a waste of time, and you're probably right. Thanks for listening.

Look out for more excess in the not-so-near future: new website!

DJ Shadow a Sellout?

2006-09-20T23:39:00.000-05:00

Upon the recent release of DJ Shadow's "The Outsider," I've heard some hating from various people. Hell, all you hipsters have to do is hit up Pitchfork to know that it ain't any good (5.8). OK, I truly I haven't listened to the album much, but I will agree that what I have heard is not at all the Shadow of yesteryear. A little more "mainstream" I guess some folks would say.

Well, whether or not Josh Davis is a sellout is for you to decide. I am only here to bring you what I know for sure is the good shit! So, here tonight I bring to y'all some old DJ Shadow, peppered throughout with other goodies, mixed by Diplo and Q-bert in the first hour and then by Shadow himself in hour number two. Check the tracklists (and be sure to comment on any mistakes and/or omissions):

Just ordered Crunc Tesla's "What's Really Rad?" EP and Shotgun Wedding Volumes Dos y Tres from this newly discovered mail order site. I recommend everyone hitting up www.midheaven.com and checking out the massive catalog of new and classic hotness. I just ordered from there yesterday and I'm already pimping it.
It must be good.

You'll hear many tracks from "YoYoYo..." expertly mixed by Christopher Rockswell and XXXchange with everything from Suzanne Vega to Missy Elliott to Jimi Hendrix. I realize that about one-fourth of this mix has already been played on the show, but that really doesn't matter and I don't care if you want something else. You want to know why?

a) This is my show!
b) This is Spank Rock!
c) This is an application to get your own show!

The second hour is still up for grabs. Either leave a comment on this post or send an e-mail to kruitronics(at)gmail(dot)com with any suggestions.

KRUI Wants Your (Friend's) Mixes!

2006-04-19T11:53:00.000-05:00

This is an invitation to all DJs, friends of DJs, and people aware of people called "DJs" to contact me regarding any mixing you think should be featured on Hooked on 'Tronics. I've been in contact with some artists I have featured on the show:

Buddy Peace
The Marcia Blaine School for Girls (Production Unit, The Village Orchestra, etc)
Panzah Zandahz
ZILLA
DJ Ayres
Cosmo Baker
and maybe more that I don't remember right now

Anyway, the point is that there are many quality mixes out there that are waiting to be found and aired for the masses (aka my mom plus a few random listeners). Let those people know that there is a radio show playing mixes by people ranging from the under-represented hermit "bedroom DJs" to the world-renowned, egomaniacal DJs. It's all about variety, and sometimes I either don't have time for endless discovery or I am just too lazy to sniff out the latest and updatest (unlike my man Sid and his Hip-Hop Amaza Show).

Here's the contact info:
e-mail: kruitronics@gmail.com
AIM, Yahoo instant messaging: KRUItronics
MSN instant messaging: kruitronics@gmail.com
KRUI phoneline (to call during the show): 319-335-8970

If you like some of the artists I have featured, let them know. Most of the links on this site have their contact info. Also, tell your friends about the show, because you know they'll love it.

This guy made my night and my entire semester

2006-03-25T00:30:00.000-06:00

A very kind individual called in this evening during the show, just to express his opinion regarding the show:

"Dude, best show ever."

No shit. He was definitely feeling the "Brainfreeze" and "Raiding the 20th Century." Also, I apparently have been playing pretty much "everything [he] likes" for this whole semester. He did have a few suggestions, I believe some Mr. Dibbs and Madlib, so I'll be sure to get right on those. I wish I would have written them down.

Just one call like that really makes a guy's amateur college radio DJ "career" worth it. Much appreciation goes out to all the listeners. I assume you are a small group, but two ears are better than none.

DJ Mixes #6

2006-03-24T21:41:00.000-06:00

Alright, kids, here's the goodness this week:

More info to come.

Welcome, Tom & Jill

2006-03-15T00:48:00.000-06:00

If you are not Tom and/or Jill Balmer, part of this won't make any sense, but read on anyway:

Thanks for visiting my "crazy techno shit" blog. That's how Betsy likes to refer to what I usually call "electronic music." Actually, the show now consists of purely DJ mixes, with only limited "crazy techno shit." Maybe you could think of something creative for the new show name. After scrolling down for awhile you'll most likely realize that there really isn't much to this here blog. Just listing which mixes I have played from for each show, sometimes including album art with links to various places on the "triple-dub" that have info on the mixes.

You can click on the picture to the right (it's of me) that says "MySpace" to check out that page. You can also click here to go directly to the MySpace blog. You can pause the music on the main MySpace page and watch the fun Aphex Twin video if you're in an appropriate setting (e.g. not at work). The video quality isn't that great, but it's still enjoyable (for some people). It'll surely make you want to watch "Come to Daddy" again.
Leave me a comment here if you'd like.

Dangers of answering calls at KRUI

2006-03-06T11:58:00.000-06:00

The show will be back on Friday, December 2nd. It looks like I'm moving more towards "DJ mixes" as the main theme for the show. This may eventually become the format for every show.

Buddha Machine

Check it: buddhamachine

I recently purchased one of these little guys from Forced Exposure. I lit some incense today and tested out the soothing audio loops. Looks like an iPod, but solely for meditative purposes. Definitely chilled me out. Nice little Buddha.

Friday 11/18/05 Automated

2005-11-14T19:45:00.000-06:00

This coming Friday, KRUI will start automation until Monday, 11/28 (I think). Maybe I will do some automating of my own, either for this Friday, next Friday, both, or neither. Most likely neither, but we'll see what happens. If you are listening between 5 PM on Friday and the 28th, don't bother calling in because there will be no live DJing.

The turntables are working!

2005-11-10T20:45:00.000-06:00

I got a bit of good news this week from Tommy, one of our directors at KRUI, regarding the equipment in the station. Apparently those two Technics turntables that had been under a pile of shyte for quite some time are fully functional. Therefore, it is only right to break out the small number of vinyl-only tracks I have in my bag of goodies, and get 'em ready for the show. I have been recording these tracks with GarageBand from my Numark decks to my PowerBook, but now it seems I will be able to play 'em straight off the original medium. Very nice, indeed. One half of the show will be vinyl-only tracks (maybe) and the other half most likely just a random selection of the goodness.
Another bit of VERY good news: an extremely nice gentleman from England by the name of Buddy Peace notified me that I will be receiving a fair amount of his own recordings in the mail very soon. I have featured selections of his mixing and remixing on the show before, and he certainly deserves more recognition. Look forward to the newest material (at least to me) from Buddy Peace coming real soon.

Recent purchases:
DJ Shadow - Funky Skunk
Piano Overlord - The Singles Collection (Money Studies)
Aaron Lacrate and Low Budget - Bmore Gutter Music (Milkcrate)
Disco D - Funk Flava
Diplo - Favela Strikes Back
Shadow Huntaz - Corrupt Data Instrumentals (Skam)
and others not entirely electronic

For those of you actually reading this blog, I'll be providing some information for next week's show, if not this week's. Sorry for the lack of posts. I promise I'll make it up to you.

Warm Fuzzy Happy Fun Land Show

2005-10-06T22:50:00.000-05:00

This Friday on Hooked on 'Tronics you'll hear some music that gives you that special feeling in your tummy. The songs will range from the utterly sublime and ethereal to flat out googly-eyed silliness. Imagine frolicking butt naked in a poppy field with your favorite Teletubby, inhaling all of nature's glory. It's the Warm Fuzzy Happy Fun Land Show!

In the beginning...

2005-09-29T16:16:00.000-05:00

There was a boy. His name was Dave. He liked electronic music. His friends initially attempted to hide it from him, but he was too crafty. He discovered their little secret and told others. They were not happy about this. Then, one day they realized they could use Dave to discover new electronic music. Now they are happy, and Dave has a radio show dedicated to electronic music.
