Basement Session 72 - 2024/01/06

UNKLE (James Lavelle) @ Maffia Illicit Music Club (27.04.1999)FREE DOWNLOAD

Solid Steel (16th May)This week the show has a distinct 80's feel about it starting with a mix from Cut Chemist featuring remixes and songs from 'Funk Off', a compilation of music by 1980's French post punk, industrial, minimal collective Vox Populi! and Pacific 231. Cut Chemist discovered their material in 2004 while on tour/record digging in Milan where he picked up a compilation featuring their track “Megamix”. Originally released in the 80s, the track was not rooted in disco, hip hop & DJ history but rather post punk and industrial influences. Music Concrete is what the collective would have perhaps described their approach at the time. “Wild Style on dust” was how Cut’s collaborator Tom Fitzgerald described it on hearing it 20 years later. Finding this record ultimately led to Cut Chemist tracking down the group, bonding over shared aesthetics and getting their blessing for this collection, which includes unreleased tracks, photographs and little-seen flyers and art from the group. The vinyl and CD are released in the UK on 9th June through A Stable Sound.
 
DK picks up the reigns in a similar vein, but starting with Illum Sphere's industrial edged Spectre Vex and then it's strictly 80's, including music from the UK that directly influenced Vox Populi, with tracks from Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and A Certain Ratio. Music from New York also features with Liquid Liquid and Death Comet Crew featuring Rammellzee and Italy's version of Delia Derbyshire, synth wizard Doris Norton, plus the Francois Kevorkian produced collaboration between Jah Wobble and Holger Czukay.

Solid Steel Radio Show 16/5/2014 Part 1 + 2 - Cut Chemist + DK

STARRING KERMIT LEVERIDGE, EVM128 & THE REYNOLDS
FEATURING BB. JAMES (LEAD VOCAL 'GIVE IT AWAY')

Uplifting, life-affirming, and perfectly timed for the summer months - cobbled together, Heath Robinson stylee, more by serendipity than design, into a coherent whole by DJ / Producer Greg Wilson. Most of the tracks featured are by Blind Arcade (Kermit Leveridge & EVM128), either existing demos or works in progress, but the mixtape is also peppered with half-a-dozen GW edits, lyrically laced to bubble the Super Weird stew – the constant presence, and main ingredient, being Kermit, for it's his inspirational tale of faith and redemption at the very core of this morphogenetic mixtape. Following on from the Ruthless Rap Assassins and Black Grape, we believe that this is his greatest musical odyssey, drawing from the deep wells of his own mythos and logos. There were 3 frontmen in the Rap Assassins, 2 in Black Grape, but now, for the first time, Kermit steps to the fore – no longer to be described by such a limited term as 'rapper', but as a sabre-skilled vocal chameleon, his shades and depths ranging from wise old soul to lovestruck adolescent, invoking his many I's as a cast of compelling characters, both comic book and close–up personal, whilst, in trickster tradition, keeping us on our toes, not knowing what to expect next.

Let me take you by the hand
So you know what's going on
Let me take you step by step 
On a journey that won't take too long
Come let me show you
Reality is not what it seems
It's all a construct
And what you see might not be real

Ben Silver - Live In Denver 8-2-24

Been feeling super inspired with Music again and made a mix with Future Thinking and Foward movement!

I also sprinkle in a few old classics!

Please take the time to listen as I feel it's one of my favorite mixes I have made this year!!

I'm feeling inspired again! DJing is not just about playing bangers; taking people on a journey of new and old sounds is what I consider the Key to sharing musical vibrations!

Infinite Space in Sound

Ben Silver – In The Pocket – Vol. 2
Radio broadcast recorded 3/27/25
Episode 81

Volume 2 is here, this time I took it a bit deeper.  A mix of tracks I might play earlier in a set, a few that I would use to keep the dancefloor going, and a touch of the spacy, introspective type tracks I love to play late.

-----------------------------------------------------
Every Thursday night at 8 PM Central Time, I DJ live from the WSUM studio. As a UW Madison alumni, it’s great to stay connected with the school. I try to capture a different vibe each week, often pulling in old tracks I haven’t heard in a while—not just focusing on the latest releases. Everything is done live and on the fly, based on whatever I’m feeling.

I talk a few times during the hour to let listeners know what’s playing.
(I most likely will butcher some of the names)

Ben Silver - In The Pocket -  VOL. 2 - 3/27/25

The wonderful Rhythm Society collective invited me to play on the Fantail deck of the decommissioned USS Hornet !!! A once in a lifetime experience helping convert this raging murderous machine designed for death and destruction into a raving bubble of love, peace and positive energy. I was on from 3 - 4am. Thanks to my crew who gave such great support on the night ❤️ Play loud and enjoy !

this weekend is the 20th anniversary of one of the most beautiful gatherings that i have the privilege of being a part of. 

DUNYA
a community family gathering on a gorgeous property, curated and nurtured with love and care for decades now. so many friendships started and deepened, so many reunions, so many moments shared. one of the most receptive and vibey dance floors i have ever played for. 

in honour of this auspicious occasion i am sharing an extended version of my set from last year. i was inspired to re-record it after hearing the recording that was made in the room, i spliced in the first couple of minutes of it to give you a little taste of the energy in there. 

so much love to Anita & Nils for creating this precious space for us to gather and celebrate our love for life and for each other. 

love to the artists, the dancers, and to you dear listener

VIVA DUNYA!
