Our latest Mix-Ins features the visionary grooves of Seattle's Cloud Cat. More than just an ill mix, this set is the finale of a trilogy of sets linked by a narrative, titled "DROID'S NIGHT OUT". A futuristic techno love story between a droid compelled to become more human, and a human scientist with a fetish for droids who has secret science-magic that may make such transformations possible.  

The 1h 45min set is sub-divided into three mini sets, each a 'scene' with a mood arc, ranging from dark trippy soulful funk, to emphatic peak hour house, capped off by deep futuristic techno - with many vocal tunes throughout giving voice to the events experienced by the droid and scientist.

In Cloud Cat's own words:
Still processing the tumultuous experience of Sheila's electro-biology science-majick during Act 2, the Droid begins to have the fledgling human emotions and desires that have been his greatest need. The feelings are more confounding and intoxicating than even his A.I. could imagine. He realizes he must decide to regress or evolve more deeply.

Sheila is developing a need to transform towards the cybernetic herself, to enhance her powers and she senses it will aid in having the two become one. It remains to be seen how their connection will manifest.

Their paths are unique and intertwined, and the future holds untold events with music ever at the fore. Yet the Droid's creators don't want him to deviate from his programming...

Cloud Cat : Science Can Be Wondrous - Act 3: Droid's Night Out

This is literally me grabbing records out of my record crate around my room and trying to mix and match whatever I find interesting, this mix is probably the best representation of my personality! lol I'm mixing "Boys ll Men" with "The Cure" or The Beetles with "Rob Bass" Or "Eric B and Rakim" 

*since this original post I went back and did some over dubs on "Tom Tom Club" and some cool stuff over "Depeche Mode" so "Technically" it's not 100% live anymore but it's still a lot of fun to listen to, lots of cool stuff!

Robert DeLong's Song of the Month.

A note from Robert DeLong regarding this month's SOTM:

2016 has been a year of great trials and tribulations for mankind, but amidst great loss and discontent there have also been great gains!

My personal year in music has been quite rewarding, from a Coachella performance sharing the stage with Kamasi Washington and Lindsey Stirling, to getting to perform at Red Rocks Amphitheater with Maya Tuttle. Though a collective sigh of relief may be in order for the end of another revolution around the sun, we can rejoice in the fact that a new compilation of music from the anomalous depths of my own mind will most certainly coalesce in 2017. Fear not, friends, for even now a SOTM follow-up to my b-side "I Will Die in the Water" is here for general consumption, as an epitaph for our strange year, which I have titled "Eating the Old Me."

Eating The Old Me

The lights in the canyon flicker
The world rushes by so fast
The beat of my heart gets quicker
When you step on the gas
You tap the roof each time
We run a yellow light
So I close my eyes and hope
That the superstition's right

Another starless night outside of paradise
Just trying to survive
And all the saving grace I see in your face
Just makes me feel alive
It makes me want to drive

I'm watching the horizon
My feet are up on the dash
How far can we take this road
How long till we're out of cash

Another sleepless night and my eyes try to fight
But I've got bigger plans
We're gonna greet the sun cause we were born to run
Let 'em catch us if they can
They'll never understand

We roll the windows down
Turn up the radio
I know this song by heart
Tonight it will be my home

See the speed limit sign but I'd rather pay the fine
Then slow to 65
The past your mirror shows it's closer than you know
Who cares when we arrive
I just want to drive
