90% vinyl mix. As broadcast on www.n10.as radio on June 15, 2021, 8 pm EST. 

I decided to represent multilingual "Italo" sounds from every continent (er, except that I forgot Australia), and the cultural differences between interpretations of this sound, and moreover how this intersects with globalism, colonialism, and racism. Is that too high-level as a theme? Probably! Summarized best through inclusions of Condry Ziqubu, Canada's own Martha and the Muffins, Esse Agesse, and Johnny Clegg (the latter is questionable and it's on the scratchiest vinyl, so forgive me).

n10.as - Automaticamore Radio - Episode 8

A five-hour (!) live recording from February 12, 2022 at The Little Jerry in Toronto. I'm playing on a Condesa Carmen V rotary mixer and, after a certain point, I'm playing very drunk. And then it eventually devolves into random 7"s for the last 30 minutes.

You can catch me at my Little Jerry residency every six weeks! Next up: March 26, 2022.

The Little Jerry - Automaticamore Live Vinyl Mix (February 12 2022)

As aired on AM640 Radio in Toronto, Canada, on May 13 2022. I discuss the recent decision by the City of Toronto to hire private security to surveil unhoused people in Toronto's downtown parks.

Toronto Today with Greg Brady

Toronto Today with Greg Brady ft. Diana Chan McNally

As aired on CBC Metro Morning in Toronto, Canada, on May 13 2022. I discuss the recent decision by the City of Toronto to hire private security to surveil unhoused people in Toronto's downtown parks.

CBC Radio Metro Morning ft. Diana Chan McNally

As aired on AM640 Radio in Toronto, Canada, on August 31 2022. Alongside journalist Matt Carty, I discuss a reissued request for proposals from the City of Toronto for private security to surveil unhoused people in public parks. The RFP now explicitly states that the power of these security guards includes the power to physically remove people from parks and arrest them.

The John Oakley Show ft. Diana Chan McNally

Removed most of the vocals and baby-chanting about gigolos, the weird section of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and other minor, extraneous crap.

Italian Boys - Gigolo (Automaticamore Edit)

I hate the chorus in the original, so now it's gone. The end.

Kermesse - Mrs. Moon (Automaticamore Edit)

What if Spooky Voice was a ghost, and not just the overly passionate vocals of Gary Mangels? This edit imagines the possibilities.

Spooky Voice - Killing Myself (Automaticamore Edit)

Live all-vinyl mix from Daydreams International at the Gasometer Hotel in Melbourne, Australia (March 18 2018).

TASCAM DR-40

Daydreams ~ Automaticamore Live Vinyl Mix (March 18 2018)

An edit of a mix of a cover! I tried to keep the cheese to a tolerable level of creamy earhole fondue. You might need to get some bread cubes before you listen.

Afrika System - Anikana - O (Automaticamore Edit)

A minimix I made for Mind Warp, broadcast online by Radio Scorpio in Belgium. 

Broadcast archive: https://www.mixcloud.com/Mind_Warp/mind-warp-351/

Apologies for my scratched-up records, except for the 1st track -- that's an edit by my favourite DJ ever (sorry, George), JAZ.

Mind Warp - Automaticamore Minimix (April 18 2018)

George Hysteric of Upside-Down Canada (Australia) recorded us jamming away Italo crap whilst drunk at Bambi's last October in Toronto, Canada. This is my vinyl set, and yes ... I always seem to play the same records. Yikes! I swear I own more than 50!

Italo Dreams ft Hysteric -- Automaticamore live vinyl set (Oct. 5 2017)

For the discerning Canada-phile: 1 hour and 58 minutes of Canadian disco, HI-NRG, and obscure synthpop 12" and 7” records from the Montreal and Toronto scenes of the 1980s. Every record features the MAPL (Music - Artist - Production - Label) logo / point system, indicating the four facets of Canadian Content, aka CanCon. Nothing played is less than 50% CanCon.

Recorded live from my basement C.H.U.D. lair in Toronto, and originally broadcast on n10.as.

n10.as - MAPL Sugar: Automaticamore's Canadian Disco Mix

As broadcast on nts.live on Amanda Siegel’s show, Cross Wires (March 1 2019). Recorded live on vinyl from the C.H.U.D. Lair, aka my apartment. Hapa Radio, as in sort-of Asian, and also ’radio’-themed.

n10.as - Automaticamore Radio - Episode 3

100% vinyl mix. As broadcast on www.n10.as radio on March 17, 2020, 8 pm EST. Feeling New Beat, I guess!

n10.as - Automaticamore Radio - Episode 5

True Fact: I listen to many questionable things at home, and 1/3rd of the world is largely trapped at home at the moment. This mix is a compilation of some of the guilty pleasures I might listen to while lying face down on the carpet, or while dancing around my apartment in sweatpants. 

Credibility is so pre-pandemic, and I'm too exhausted from trying to stay on top of COVID-19 as both a frontline and home-bound social worker at three different agencies, I really DGAF about having cachet anymore. Enjoy, and stay safe!

Automaticamore - Guilty Pleasures Mix

90% vinyl mix. As broadcast on www.n10.as radio on June 16, 2020, 8 pm EST. In a weird mood, so this is running the gamut from New Wave to New Beat to synthpop with a lot of tabla. Why not! Please note that the April and May episodes of Automaticamore Radio were mixes I recorded for 5918mins and St. Romain (which technically makes this Episode 8, not 6).

n10.as - Automaticamore Radio - Episode 6

100% vinyl mix. As broadcast on www.n10.as radio on December 15, 2020, 8 pm EST. It's been a while since I recorded a mix just for my radio show! Enjoy all of the dad synthpop.
