A spicy techno stew for you that brings in delightfully strange soundscapes and maniacal techno riddims.

I had really just planned to play a few goofy techno tracks unmixed like the Bootsy Collins track for people who had been living under a rock without Dirtybird, but these intoxicating bombs got me in this swirl that needed a blen. Figuring out what the hell I was gonna throw in the blender was the real challenge. Now it’s way more technooo than I usually go, but these tracks are just too badass and wierd simultaneously. Take note of LA locals Android Cartel as their whole Androidica EP is delicious and freshly baked. Spiced with tapatio and splashed with thinly veiled excitement for Sasha this weekend and Loco Dice last weekend at Avalon, tonight’s meal:

And finally some lullabies from Sasha’s “New Emissions of Light and Sound” OST. Beautiful!!

Lee Burridge and Danny Howells came into LA Friday, Feb 26, 2010 and played a hell of a good set for Control at Avalon in Hollywood.  After a bit of rest, records, and whining that we wish we could see them again in San Francisco that next Saturday…Tommy and I decided that we did indeed need plane tickets and wound up in SF by 4pm Saturday. Just in time to reconnect with my good friends at http://listedproductions.com and head over to 1015 Folsom to hear their phenomenal 6+ hour set!  And who knew that Lee would push forth for a staggeringly good 7 hour afterparty tagteam set with Mike Khoury.  An AMAZING journey making it an incredible and musically-gluttonous weekend. Truly one of the best this year!

Droppin the DJ Synergy title. It’s time. New Year’s eve I was blessed to DJ for a group of close friends who helped me wake up from the 7 years as DJ Synergy the student and just introduce my real name, Charles Fox. The name “DJ Synergy” arose back in High School and it took time to drop the game and go with what I was given at birth. Bear with me as I get the name change propagated through  my site and the mixes section

Trentemoller\’s \”Nightcrawler\” helps explain

Tonight brings the last show for 2009, but don’t worry, I’ll be comin back even harder in 2010… Later on we’re going to play RALF KOLLMANN’s new promo (head of Mobilee Records with Anja Schneider) and then DJ Amanda Michele is comin in for a live studio set! Right now though, we’re deep into the chilled grooves of yours truly, Charles Fox — here’s a running tracklist:

So I did it! I’m finally done with a bachelors of science in electrical engineering from UCLA and damn was it exhausting, in all forms, but mostly spriritually so…I always lacked the time to really delve into my music technology projects because we were too busy humping theory textbooks about semiconductors or being washed over by a sea of word vomit in the lecture halls. It was seriously depressing how infrequent we applied our knowledge, and the laboratories to do so? blegh. oh well, it’s time to leave the contageous misery backage back there in the engineering ‘ward’ and move forard   Don’t really have a clue whats next but I just know I need to be able to do something like http://showreel.fr or work wtith dancers and make them wearable computers that will guide the projections a la lilypad: http://web.media.mit.edu/~leah/LilyPad/   with lots and lots of phenomenal tech house booming

AGHASLDGHALKSDGHALSGH   I’M  FREEEEE!

I’m sorry to say with homework and different drama recently I haven’t been able to finish a Miami WMC gallery or blogpost, but I do have some morsels to share with you. There’s this badass tool called Photosynth by Microsoft that allows you to take many pictures of a particular environment and then create a fluid panorama of it that you can “step through”. The plugin needed to view the following two links is totally worth it, so check out the view from my hotel in Miami and that of my pimpstress friends’ on the 56th top suite:

Also, I’m currently cooking up a new mix for you guys that will feature the sounds of a Roland Handsonic 10. What’s that you say? Well it’s a kickass electronic hand drum with velocity-sensitive MIDI triggering as well as 60 built in sample kits. Peep the armada that will bring your sonic assault:

On air and in the mix!

Tracklisting:

1. Petter – All Together
2. Depeche Mode – The Darkest Star (James Holden Remix)
3. IMPS – Unkle Limps (Isolee Remix)

Upset that I didn’t have any time all week to really plan or mix for fun, but somehow I was able to smudge these beauts together for a half-decent mix. See what you think:
