Liquid J is yet another excellent DJ from the rich Miami -> NYC pipeline (where I started doing radio, shoutout WVUM 90.5). Liquid J also produces, hosts Splash! on Newtown Radio, does killer graphic design, and is one of the minds behind Jezebel Sound. 

Recreational DJ kicks the show off with groovy electro and techno. Liquid J holds down the second hour with a tasty mix of techno, bass, garage, and more.

The unifying theme amongst my Magic 8 guests is that they are busy, and GENG PTP certainly fits the bill. He's a community organizer, visual designer, label head, sound engineer, teacher, archivist, DJ, musician, and has been at it in the DIY trenches for a long time.

Recreational DJ kicks it off with an hour of deep bass and techno grooves, with a couple of detours just to keep you on your toes.

GENG PTP takes over the second hour. He says "it’s actually two mixes stitched together that i found on tape earlier this week... documenting not only a time when i was experimenting with analog tech as a means of archiving/back up, but a time that a good few of us have been fondly reminiscing on concurrently by chance/coincidence... bringing that sound back but yea now w tape saturation and hiss (even better).

also it was when i was really starting to dig into a chapter of my own sound design and production."
