Mixtape Riot Radio #016

Don’t let the armageddon get you down! 2017 was one helluva mind bender- between the unbelievable non-stop shenanigans coming from the Trump white house, the re-emboldening of white supremacist nationalists, a slew of natural disasters, and the slightly unsettling development of North Korean intercontinental nuclear warheads, there were plenty of reasons to want to run for the hills. Thankfully, the greatest blessing of my life came in the form of a healthy, happy and ridiculously cute daughter, and then I got to witness the tipping point of the #MeToo movement swell into a tsunami of cultural resistance, which seems to be shaping our future into a place much more respectful and safe for women & girls. My time for digging up new music (& for doing just about every other extra-curricular activity) was drastically shortened, but that’s just part of being grown and I will get a handle on it eventually. Even still, I managed to glean enough to keep this place alive (limping along, but still moving!), and this new mix I put together for BrooklynRadio.com highlights some of my absolute favorite finds of the year. Artists you may recognize include: Nadastrom, Jubilee, Populous, LCD Soundsystem, Todd Terje and of course a couple Capt. Planet joints as well. So press play and let’s all set some positive intentions to manifest in 2018, cause this world needs all the help it can get right now. Photo above was taken in Ojai, California by Robin Catherine Lawson after the recent Thomas Fire which devastated almost 450 square miles (biggest in CA history). Full tracklist and download available on the Brooklyn Radio page.

    Sick mix! Been a fan since Captain’s Crate days, so many tunes. Big up from the UK brother!

    Thanks for the new mix, familiar and new. Family first! You’ve created and maintained a body of work that puts you firmly in the long-run music blog elite. You didn’t and don’t have to do this, so whatever you can squeeze in, I’m grateful for the effort and new sounds. Happy New Year! I have a feeling 2018 is going to be another year with crazy twists, turns and developments coming at us fast, from any direction we can think of.

    I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
