Guest Mix: ZULI
December 06, 2019 17:32To listen to ZULI's We Are All Anemic mix is to be confronted by decay. Sliding across an arid terrain, its sounds move, but with a momentum that is staggered, labored. The force of entropy is taking hold. Rough trenches wound its territory, their depths unthinkable. In the air whorl clouds of sonic debris: old computers, satellite parts, strange alloys. Across an hour of sound, we toggle between depth and surface, contemplation and distraction interwoven in noise, bearing witness to a ...
Chocolate Grinder Mix 126
October 31, 2019 20:20Every other year since I started Chocolate Grinding, I've done a Halloween mix. The past three were called Day of the Dead: The Halloween Hangover Mix, Devil's Night 2015, and The World's A Graveyard and Every Day Is Halloween. This one's called Day of the Dead: The Remake, because I sampled some of the same vinyl I used for the first mix. Also, presumably, with the holiday falling on a Thursday this year, a lot of people will be attending Halloween parties during the Day of the Dead fe...
Guest Mix: Small Professor
April 08, 2019 19:36March 17 would have been Sean Price's 47th birthday had the MC aka Ruck lived past age 43. On February 8, 2019, P's longtime label Duck Down Music Inc. teamed with Coalmine Records and producer Small Professor for the rapper's second posthumous album, 86 Witness. Produced mostly before Price's untimely demise, the album got its title when Small Pro and executive producer Matt Diamond (no relation) realized that references to the year 1986 kept popping up in P's rhymes for the project. ...
Guest Mix: Gosheven
April 13, 2018 16:05Bálint Szabó (a.k.a. Gosheven, a.k.a. Gosheven is hot) isn't stopping anytime soon. His exquisite (and Wire-approved) debut Leaper was released only last year, but we're currently on the brink of experiencing even more alternate-tuning goodness from the Budapest-based SHAPE affiliate: Bivaq, his equally hot follow-up, drops on Opal Tapes TODAY via CD and digital formats. In case you're interested in hearing and seeing what it's going to sound like, C Monster did some premiering for the ...

Chocolate Grinder Mix 123
October 27, 2017 16:40In the mob's damning stares, the shtetl woman saw reflections of not only burning torches but also burning hypocrisy, and this the worse conflagration. It wasn't enough that they'd spread their shameful lies to her customers. It wasn't enough that they'd marked and ransacked her market stall. They, whose children daily enjoyed the fruits of her sister-kin's bloody toils, now dared bring their accusations of blood libel to a part of town they'd otherwise never deign to enter and to the d...
Guest Mix: Mark Templeton
October 06, 2017 15:51"But if nostalgia as a political motivation is most frequently associated with fascism, there is no reason why a nostalgia conscious of itself, a lucid and remorseless dissatisfaction with the present on the grounds of some remembered plenitude, cannot furnish as adequate a revolutionary stimulus as any other." – Frederic Jameson An unnecessary nostalgia: The seductive quality of the past — particularly of one not so great — is a curious trick of the psyche. Perhaps it is the desire f...
Chocolate Grinder Mix 122
September 29, 2017 14:52"But I hear sounds in my mind; Brand new sounds in my mind" – Lorde VIII. When autumn comes, I bloom anew; The Russian frost does wonders for my health; Anew I fall in love with life's routine: Betimes I'm soothed by dreams, betimes by hunger caught; The blood flows free and easy in my heart, Abrim with passion; once again, I'm happy, young, I'm full of life - such is my organism (Excuse me for this awful prosaism) – Alexander Pushkin When autumn comes. City landscapes. Sidewalks, le...
Chocolate Grinder Mix 121
August 25, 2017 15:49I hate how society demands how "ME" I have to be. You want "ME?" Cut me in front of a Metrocard machine, yo. It's a twice-a-year thang to get a Metrocard. And I understand panhandling. I get you ain't got cash on hand. I see your failed credit card interaction. Does that give you a ticket to both Metrocard machines without me losing my cool. Yes! Yes, it does. I will play it cool because fucking white people give enough a bad name to this America so like, "I'll forever exisist humanity'...
OGRITCH
January 23, 2017 20:43Supported by dubious -- although equally hilarious, satirical, intriguing, and ludicrous -- Twitter personalities of music-community, CZAR-vapourers c$burns, CENTRAL COMMAND HVRF, and ETERNAL SON, OGRITCH [Editor's Note: "for sure"] (creator of VAPED MILK) The main idea of this project is make research from vapour world, and select most interesting stuff released every month, starting from classic vaporwave to radical experimental forms. For the next episodes I plan to keep a track on ...
Guest Mix: Slauson Malone
December 09, 2016 19:05In 1959, Max Roach went to the Five Spot jazz club to take in a performance by the Ornette Coleman Quartet and became so incensed by what he heard that he followed Coleman backstage and punched him in the mouth. As if the physical assault weren't a strong enough display of disapproval, Roach later stood outside Coleman's apartment building at 4:00 AM, yelling, "I know you're up there, motherfucker! Come down here and I'll kick your ass!" This is one of my favorite jazz legends, because...

Guest Mix: Foodman
November 02, 2016 16:19For someone who creates the mutant amalgamations of genres and styles that Foodman is notorious for, boy was I fucking surprised when he sent over this mix to our quaint TMT headquarters. Loungy, peaceful, and smoother than Engelbert Humperdinck's freshly-peeled breakfast of hardboiled eggs, "TMT_foodman_mix" was not at all what I was expecting. But, that isn't a bad thing. Predictability is for the weak, and as my Aunt Ant always said, "KILL THE WEAK AND SHOWER THE LAND WITH THEIR PICK...
Guest Mix: Cube
October 14, 2016 15:41My Cube, the new album by Cube (a.k.a. Oakland resident Adam Keith), begins with "First," somehow a lethal subconscious variation on "Undercover of the Night" that's built on shaky ever-shifting soil, on tape jams and spool tangles. The potential for electronic collapse is as real as the possibility of total alignment. Screws are loosened just to see if they'll stay and for how long. It's a rowdy entrance, tipping its cap for turbulence and saying, "Howdy, you can relax now, you're in i...
Guest Mix: Forma
September 23, 2016 20:37Spectrum Spools vets Forma are on edge, giddy to share the follow-up to their wormhole extravaganza, 2012 sophomore album Off / On. Out today, Physicalist is their first release through Kranky, and they are celebrating with Interspecies Smalltalk: an-hour long mix of critter whispers, backwoods backtalk, and hot treetop gossip.
