Changes to Mode.Radio--November 2013

Hi Mode.Radio fans!
As you may have noticed, it's been hard to keep up with this blog. Partially because of life as a working mom and partially because it's been very hard to get exclusive DJ mixes lately.

However, Mode.Radio does have a Soundcloud group and there are plenty of, not exclusive, but very good mixes that change every week. So Mode.Radio will still try to feature the best DJs and their exclusive mixes, but now we are also featuring weekly mixes from DJs who have posted to our group. So watch this blog every week for the latest sounds!

And if you want to send us your latest mixes, email us at mode.radio@hotmail.com

peace and enjoy!
Ladymode

Radio Ready--Kevin O--Sampson St. "Last Call"

In Atlanta, the parties at the Sampson St. Lofts in Old 4th Ward were notorious for many reasons. This summer, the last party EVER was held with some of the best DJs in the city coming out. We were able to get a great set from an old friend of Mode.Radio's, Kevin O! This is an unusual set because it's more techno than people are used to hearing from Kevin. There is no tracking listing, but it's a great set, so enjoy!

Giorgio Moroder--Live at Deep Space, May 20, 2013

Giorgio Moroder is a legend. For those younger than 40 ;) Moroder was the major producer for such disco artists as Donna Summer and movie soundtracks including "Scarface." When I saw this link from Tommie Sunshine regarding Moroder's first EVER DJ mix, I tried to download it. However, the site hosting it, Red Bull Music Academy Radio, has it on lock. So I decided to post it here to listen to, and hopefully, someone will get an mp3 (and tracklisting) out on it soon! Here's the bio on Giorgio Moroder from the Red Bull Music Academy Radio site:

"One of the true greats of disco and electronic music, Giorgio Moroder brought a very European aesthetic to black American dance grooves. Althoughttp://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1086580549668754664#editor/target=post;postID=8002954432563759279h Italian by upbringing, Moroder did most of his work in Munich and the influence of Düsseldorf’s Kraftwerk can be heard in his work for Donna Summer, which includes two of the ultimate disco anthems, I Feel Love and Love To Love You Baby. This was motorik music: spacious, trippy, ever-lasting, far removed from the relentless bounce of most disco. Giorgio Moroder is also a supreme composer of soundtracks, scoring an unlikely success with The Chase, the theme from Midnight Express, and his footprints are all over British synth-pop, from Pet Shop Boys to New Order to Human League. It was with the latter’s Phil Oakey that he got his biggest self-credited hit in 1984, Together In Electric Dreams."

Enjoy!

The Stash 48--Danny Howells--Live at B018, Beirut (part 2)

In November of 2012, Mode.Radio featured a live set from Danny Howells. The set was recorded in August 2012 from a gig he had at B018 in Beirut. We featured the first 2 hours of the set and now here is the  second 2 hours. Enjoy!

Radio Ready--DJ Shadow--All Basses Covered (The Infamous South Beach Set, 2012)

You may have read on the interwebs that in December of 2012, at DJ Shadow had his set cut short after a promoter deemed his material inappropriate for the crowd in Miami's Mansion. "They said this shit is too future for y'all," Shadow said at the time. Shadow was performing at part of a tour to promote his album,  Total Breakdown: Hidden Transmissions From the MPC Era, 1992-1996. The club has since apologized, but DJ Shadow released the set in January of this year. Enjoy!
