MECÁNIKO - abstract science radio

All 8 original tracks from Never Cry Wolf...

01 NCW 01

This is logical, this is a progression... The original and still one of the best sets around, LTJ's about to touch down. After much confusion I finally found the original 1996 version of LTJ's seminal Logical Progression 2 CD release. This is the mixed set (CD-B). Intelligent DnB at its finest. Find more outstanding LTJ sets in my "LTJ..." playlist.
 
1. Airtight remix - Funky Technicians
2. New element - Form Form
3. Drum in a grip - De Wolf & Wax Doctor
4. Solution - Ils & Solo
5. In too deep - JMJ & Flytronix
6. So long - Seba & Lo-tec
7. Pharaoh - Photek
8. After Hours - DJ Trace
9.  Groove Therapy - Universal
10. Mind Games - DJ Crystal

I've been looking for this set for a long time but have never been able to find it online, only the 2001 re-released version where the mixed CD was replaced with the 'Ministry of Sound Half A Decade Of Dance' 96 live set and different tracks on the un-mixed CD. I brought a 2nd hand copy from Discogs.com. I will do a mix using the tracks on the unmixed CD (CD-A) when I get some time.

No infringement of copyright is intended, I'm assuming it's ok to make this available to download as it's not possible to buy this new anymore. If there is a problem with copyright let me know and I'll remove it. 

As always, all props to the artists, producers n engineers that made these tracks, nuff respect to all the Goodlooking family.

KIDDO (dj set) - abstract science radio chicago [2017]

Name: Elly Schook
Alias: Kiddo (@djkiddo)
Pronouns: She/Her
Location: Chicago, IL, USA

Influences: Stylistically, I've always been very influenced by the musical vocabularies of Detroit and Chicago techno and house. I also get pretty excited about Maurizio/Basic Channel/MVO stuff, Sheffield/Birmingham hard techno, spacey electro/breaks from The Hague, and pretty much anything with acidic sounds. DJs who have inspired me for a long time include Daniel Bell, Josh Werner, DJ Heather, Move D, Maayan Nidam, DVS1, Lena Wilikins, and pretty much every iteration/lineup/moniker of all the Underground Resistance artists. 

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Walking and Falling - a DJ workshop and mentorship program for woman-identifying and nonbinary music enthusiasts

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: It's easy to fall into the inevitable "impostor syndrome"/self-criticism trap. Remember that you're doing something healthy for your mind and body by sharing the music you enjoy. Play what makes your brain and body dance how you like hearing it played - the rest will fall into place. Also remember you are not alone. Seek out and lean on supportive, like-minded folks to navigate the more trying aspects of the music industry.

Daisychain 005 - Kiddo

Elly Schook aka Kiddo, Walking and Falling co-founder and mentor, offers up her first mix for the series:  her opening set for the legendary Mike Huckaby, recorded live at Smartbar earlier this year.  Though this mix is a hypnotic blend of precisely-mixed house, Kiddo is known for her ability to work in a range of genres, from driving techno to acid to Chicago house.  Enjoy!
