I’m fortunate to have a couple things in my life that I was an unbelievably huge fan of in high school that I’m now a part of. One is The New Science Expierience, the electronic music show on the Chapel Hill’s college station, WXYC, from 10-12 on Sunday nights. It’s been running from at least 1995, maybe before, switching hands from Uzi to Brock, and now to One Duran and Yugen (at the table above… Stanley looking on). This was where my music education came from, I still have old tapes of trance, techno, and Jungle sets that I’ve been meaning to dig out and digitize… It’s a true resource, and I’m gonna guess that it might just be the longest continuously running electronic music show on college radio in this country … anyone able to back that up?
This Christmas I was back home and managed to get in a set, trying to weave together best tracks of the year… which is a bit hard for me since often I get things before they come out, or else not till long after they’re out. Still though, to the best of my knowledge all these tracks found their way into my hands in ’08, and it’s an illustration of what a stellar year it was for music. I’ll post my top tracks separately, but for now enjoy, as I’m off to pick up Gaslamp Killer from the airport in preparation for the SURYA DUB 2 YEAR ANIVERSARY BLOW OUT TOMORROW!!!!!
