The challenge went like this; I asked for suggestions to place into a single techno track and I've had loads; Robocop, Broccoli, Call of Duty, The Power of Ra, and a Wilhelm Scream amongst others... 

This is the result thus far, will be completed in the coming days (once computer is back and running). 

Power Of Broccoli (Work in Progress)

Hello, all. My name is DJ Shnootz (real name Matt), and my obsession with acid techno and acid trance began in late 1996. Twenty-eight years later, I am still obsessed with acid techno and acid trance.

Of course, I also mix hardcore/gabber, acid core, psybient, Goa/psy, hard trance, UK hard house/NRG, ragga tek, and even some melodic trance every now and then. In fact, in the last few years (since mid 2015 or so, and especially since late 2017), I've gravitated quite significantly toward hardcore/gabber (particularly "early hardcore" with healthy doses of ACID). To be clear, I still mix acid techno, acid trance, and the other styles I mentioned above; but fair to say, gabber has become one of my main pursuits in the last few years, so hardcore heads should expect many more mixes of thunderous gabber going forward.

In any case, I’ve also long been a fan of hardcore punk rock (e.g., Propagandhi, [UK] Subhumans, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, etc.), hip-hop (Del the Funkee Homosapien, Jurassic-5, Sage Francis, early Wu, etc.), reggae/dancehall/dub (General Levy, Daddy Freddy, Pato Banton, Steel Pulse, Bob, etc.), classical music (Beethoven, Dvorak, Khachaturian, Rossini, Verdi, etc.), and many other types of "normal" music, as well.

In terms of my work as a DJ, I have always been a vinyl guy (the only exception being my psybient sets, as most psybient is released digital-only), though to be clear, I have absolutely no problem with digital DJs and digital-only tracks; I just stick to what I know, that's all. Anyway, I started playing parties in southern California in late '99, and over the next few years, I played a few dozen events for Something Fresh, Neosapiens, Believe, Molecule, and a handful of other production companies I can't remember. I took a semi-hiatus between maybe 2005 and early 2009 (and I still mixed the occasional set during those years) but then got back into it more earnestly and developed a modest but wonderfully demented online following, particularly overseas. Since early 2015, I've also begun to play a handful of events again, so we'll see what the future holds.

Anyway, enjoy the mixes, and feel free to contact me about tunes, further info, or bookings. Keep it acid!

First started creating music on an Amiga 500+ before the Cap'n reached double digits of years lived. Not that it was fantastic nor even good, this combined with a music-loving family kickstarted a lifelong passion for electronic music of many kinds - and more besides - ultimately leading to this currently sorry state of affairs Soundcloud page and a non-functional PC. /dontask

This, alongside an alias/creativity reboot of sorts are high on the priority list for 2016, so if you find yourself liking what you're hearing the Cap'n hopes to please further in the very near future. If not, many thanks for even taking the time (or not) to read this ramble. Yaaar.
