Tribute Mix - Richie Hawtin

A true pioneer of electronic music, Richie Hawtin, under his moniker of Plastikman, carved out a place in history with his own brand of techno. Forward thinking, he did minimal before it was popular, spearheading the creation of the sub-genre amongst more cacophonous and popular styles.

I think his music is most powerful when it's most minimal. Honestly its sometimes so good it fucking hurts me.

Go searching through the freezer for that last hit of acid, sit back, relax and tune out to the bleeps and clicks of the wicked Plastikman.

Tribute Mix - Plaid

Plaid require no introduction. They stand tall among the giants of electronic music and in my opinion are almost unrivaled in their ability to marry complexity, beauty, diversity and cinematic qualities in their compositions. This mix showcases works from near the beginning of their career to the present, and includes a few aliases.

Their complex structures, myriad keys and interesting time signatures ensured a challenging mix - I just hope I managed to do their music justice. Please forgive any mistakes you may notice.

Electronic Waffle Volume 1 - 25/08/2012

Firstly thanks to all the sites linking to my mixes. Massive influx of hits (especially from Germany, big up guys).

An a big shout to robynthinks.blogsport.de/ for continuing support.

Taking a break from the tribute series for a moment but the next one will probably be Plaid. But I won't be doing that one for a couple of weeks yet because a) I'm going on a long overdue holiday and b) I really want to get it right.

Instead here's a fairly eclectic mix of elec tunes that have been sitting around begging for a mix. It's a mix of older and newer stuff and they're all good. I hope you enjoy.

Tribute Mix - The Future Sound of London

You can thank the Japanese ancestor-worship Obon festival for two quickfire tribute mixes this weekend.

The Future Sound of London are well known for the seminal "Papua New Guinea" (and the lesser known "We Have Explosive") but that's just a commercial high water mark for the duo. Aside from those they have an extensive back catalogue of exquisite dreamy, sinister, dubby or straight-out dancey electronic music that most people haven't yet heard.

There was a couple of tunes I kept returning to as themes during this mix and fans will recognise them. For everyone else, lie back, relax and think of Future Sound of London.

Tribute Mix - Aphex Twin

Aphex Twin has tried his hand at a lot of styles within the realm of electronic music, and I tried to pick examples of his music for this mix that conform as close as possible to "melodic", "danceable" and "not too fucked up". I tried. But the'res still some moments of uncomfortable listening here which comes as no surprise to me since the bulk of his work is, while not without a sense of humour, certainly tainted by a unique darkness that is possibly over-represented here. Even his ambient works (which are used in this mix to book-end clumps of Aphex waffle) while beautiful are full of darkness.

But I don't feel this mix is gloomy. There's plenty of light, whimsical moments inside the ride.

Tribute Mix - Autechre

All Autechre tribute mix - Right click to download

Autechre - It took me over ten years to learn how to say it properly. At least I think I know how to say it properly.

But it took a lot less to know that their music was special. Although they've drifted into uncompromising, almost unwavering avante-garde experimentation that I can no longer follow, the first 10 or so years of LPs and EPs produced so many beautiful, melodical, mechanical, uncomfortable, electronical musical pearls that all I can do is feel thankful that they ever existed. And they still produce the odd accessable and/or beautiful track, a couple of which are included in the mix.

Autechre. Nice one.
