DF Pirate Radio – “The Slighty Unpleasant Dream After Hanukkah”

Title: Vol. 5 Episode 4 (Click link to play) Rel: 12/19/09
Description:The Slightly Unpleasant Dream After Hanukkah” – When DJ digitalflood is left to celebrate Hanukkah all alone he quickly realizes he has two big problems. First, he’s not Jewish so he has no idea what Hanukkah even is much less how to celebrate. Second, he cannot be trusted with fire since the old barn fire of 1982 still haunts his reputation. So DJ digitalflood has to resort to the only way he knows how to celebrate a cherished sacred holiday he knows nothing about– by pretending it’s Halloween and spinning the best Goth, Industrial, EBM, and IDM music out there!

Normally Pirate Radio has an annual Halloween show, but because we missed out this year on that show we’ve decided to catch up late (as usual). Enjoy this mix of music that Tim Burton would approve of all too much. The mix is an homage to the DJs of QXTs Night Club of Newark NJ. QXTs is a very popular alternative dance club dedicated to the underground industrial goth scene. DJ digitalflood spent a lot of time down there between 2004 and 2006 listening to a bunch of very talented DJs that influenced his early mixing style. You can still hear hints of this style creep into every mix session he does, but this one particularly shows his love of all things electronically created, as well as, beat driven in nature. Enjoy underground German acts, two live performances of mixes that appear on the seminal tribute album “Digitalflood: Drowns” and an original digitalflood song that appears on “Come On (It’s Not Easy)” remixed to new heights. There’s tons of other musical gems mixed in there that will keep you grooving throughout it’s total one hour and forty two minute run time (that’s like two Pirate Radio shows in one!). All this and more in one smooth “Cut Like Crack” continuous mix session. Gut Yontiff!

Things That Go Crunk In The Night

The moon is glistening. There is a distant howl in the dark black night. A slow mist crawls in. Then the break dancing vampires invade! If this week’s episode was a musical that’s about how it would open. When it came time to mix the annual digitalflood Pirate Radio I decided that this year I would use nothing, but bands who’ve had someone die or an artist who themselves died. This is a pretty open genre as anyone who follows the obituaries knows that every day people die. Of course, musicians tend to have a bad habit of dying more frequently than the rest of us. Things just get easier at that point– Instant Pirate Radio Halloween show theme! M’Weezy isn’t feeling very well due to a cold so this show is another mega mix with over 70 minutes of non-stop live mixing. Hop on over to the Pirate Radio section and download digitalflood Pirate Radio Volume 4 Episode 3. One way or another, it’s sure to scare the daylights out of you.
