For this year’s mixtape I tried to take it to the next level with the podcast. It was the second year of podcast discoveries, with some of my favorites coming from Mad Decent Radio, Dhundee, and Stones Throw Records. David & Sparsh have also been making a few here and there. So here, I’ve compiled two podcasts with some of my loves over the past year.
This first installment is a bit more conceptual than the next one that I’ll post. Sedatives for 2007 I exploits the cerebral sounds of instrumental electronic music that we hope will launch thought patterns. The first four songs definitely invoke this idea.
Though avant-garde is not used as a descriptive label much these days, it definitely exists. It’s the art that pushes the boundaries, forming a new edge. So the overall concept of this mix combines the idea of listening to these technological sounds on our modern, cutting edge devices - it just makes sense.
