The sunshine seems to be missing this summer. What better reason to hang out with some lasers and bass-bins behind the decks at your favourite local club.

The Internet feed was down this week, and I thought I had lost the whole podcast, but after a little digging and a little pixie dust, here we go! (And it’s a good one, so find an excuse to be home alone and crank the volume right up to the top!)

This week’s mix got started with a track recommended by Nikki Sentience: The Liquid Sould remix of Galactic Mantra by Ovnimoon. Truly a psychedelic intro, if ever there was one. The rest of the inspiration came from DJ Tso, whose mix: Goa Dreams Volume 4 turned me on to the group Suntree.

I was a bit disappointed with the mix at first, but on second listen, most of it is actually pretty good with only one or two major goofs near the end. Considering everything I played was brand new and mixed entirely on-the-fly, it came out not bad.

My set from this week is still untitled. It must be a bit early for the creative juices to be flowing.

Some weeks when I go looking for music, it seems like I have to listen to 100 tracks to find 1 or 2 good ones, but this week it seems like everything I listened to was brilliant! What started off as a tribute to Mekkanikka (who will be playing live at Organix (Club 23 West) in Vancouver next Friday, soon grew to include new music from Laughing Buddha, a new artist I’d never heard of before named Triptych, new tracks from TIP World and another new group named Mesmerizer. This week’s set is VERY psychedelic.

For the second half of the show, Caddyshack brought out some updated Union Jack sounds (a personal fave) as well as some mashed up classics. I could admit I didn’t write down his setlist because I was chatting with our studio guest, Jay (really glad you came by!), but it’s way more fun to just say Caddyshack’s set is top secret – like back in the day when DJs would be pretty reluctant to tell you what tracks they were playing
