Sakura – A Spring Mixtape

Just in time for Dramacon, comes Sakura, my latest mix of electropop, nu disco, and general squelchiness. It definitely is a bit faster and bouncier – I blame some of the amazing weather we’ve had lately. (Of course as I look at the forecast I see a chance of snow?! later this week).

Now, its time for me to clear my head of this dancey dance music and start prepping for Coachella…

Don’t Fear The Reaper (Holy Ghost! remix) – Van She
Spin (Russ Chimes Big House Mix) – Cassette Kids
Fembot (fourthrock edit) – Robyn
A Question For You – Bit Funk
Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air – Mustard Pimp
Californication – Loo and Placido
The Good News (Yacht Club DJs remix) – Philadelphia Grand Jury
Sea, Love, Sex, and Sun – Bag Raiders vs Serge Gainsbourg
Blue Scientist – The Teddybears vs New Order
Starry Eyed (Penguin Prison Remix ft. Theophilus London) – Ellie Goulding
The Phoenix Alive (Demo mix) – Monarchy

ps. I’m not sure which is the better line – “don’t take no astrophysicist to make your ass throw fits” or “I am a very scientifically advanced hot mama”. I have included both so that you can decide…

SimStim’s Anniversary Re-Release of “Jack In, Log On, Nod Out”

Wow, its been just over 10 years since Dee (Chim Chim) and I put the finishing touches on the last SimStim album. A lot has happened over the years: Dee’s recorded new Penal Colony and solo works, and I have recently returned to production and DJ work trying to relearn in digital what I knew in vinyl.

In a fit of nostalgia, I listened to the album recently. Surprisingly, or not, it still seems fairly fun. We were always careful to try and not fall into stereotypical genre patterns — things that tend to sound dated as music and tastes change.

So, for a short time, I am going to make the album and some extra material available for download here (link at the bottom). Sure, it might cannibalize all those iTunes sales we have (hah!) but what the hell.

Disclaimer: If Dee starts flinging poo at me for doing this, I’ll take it down and replace it with incriminating pictures I have of him.
