DMZ Diary

#27 - July 4th 2004



Scott Manley

The Return of theDMZ! - yes at last I've recovered from the disappearance of radiodmz.com and have decided to forge ahead with some new shows on new stations, and of course a whole load of new records and new guests. Production of the show has relocated to my new house and hopefully we should be in for a long run.

You can hear the show weekly on various internet stations - 9am-11am PDT on club246.com, 4pm-6pm PDT on smoothmusic.org and 7pm-9pm PDT on m4radio.com - and it's also possible to download the shows from the edonkey network. So, if you're a DJ wyo wants to play a guest set, or a radio station who wants to play the show, or maybe just a listener who's wanting to chat then you can mail me here - scott at djsnm dot com

Tracklisting - Hour 1

Artist Track Label Buy? (readme)
Bassbin Twins ESW Marine Parade
This is the intro track we play at the start of every show. Nice to hear it again after a few months off.

Rui da Silva
Touch Me Future Sound Of Lisbon
Vocal driven progressive house number which was a huge hit in 2001.

Supreme Bachelors
S&M FFRR
Another of my theme tunes makes an appearance......
Chemical Brothers
Out Of Control AstralWerks
From their 1999 Album 'Surrender' this track featured Bernard Sumner from New Order providing vocals.

Dusted
Always remember to respect & honour your mother - part 1
That's one hell of a title, a great sentiment certainly, and well suited to the angelic sounds on the track.

Orbital
Nothing Left (Tsunami 1 Remix) FFRR
A perfect example of the progressive breaks genre, this rare orbital remix gets a look in for this show, sadly I can't spare the time to present this near perfect record in all it's glory.

Christian J
Nightfighter Distinctive
Everyone loves the breakdown in this track, almost to the point that I see breaks fans on the dancefloor getting prepared for the warbling bass to kick in - about 2 minutes before it actually happens.
Junkie XL and Sasha
Beauty Never Fades
Junkie XL have secretly worked together for a long time, this electro tinged progressive house track is the first to actually give them the same billing.

Q+K Session
Pulsate Dorigen
Regular listeners to the show may be interested to know that regular DMZ guest Leni K is the K in this duo, expect another guest slot from Leni RSN.
Monk and Cantanella
Enter The Monk (Hybrid Mix) Distinctive
One of my all time favourite breaks tracks - no I mean really it is - I know I say that a lot, but this is a damn fine record I'll think you all agree. If you like this you should pick up the Hybrid remixes album.

Members Of Mayday
Sonic Empire (Jan Driver Mix) Deviant
The Jan Driver mix is probably the most dancefloor friendly, effortlessly transitioning between groovy electro and banging techno, in a manner which makes me jealous I should add.

Dave Clarke
Before I Was So Ruedly Interrupted
The Dark Lord of techno, Dave Clarke, garnered some headlines when he released this track digitally before it was released in any physical format, that was back in the days when the record industry was terrified of digital downloads.

DJ Zinc
138 Trek
One of the few UK garage tracks that managed to really escape that nice with credibility, DJ Zinc was better known for his Jungle tracks, and indeed he produced a follow up called 178 trek (in case you hadn't guessed - the number refers to the BPM, and Trek refers to the Star Trek samples liberally sprinkled through the track.


Hour 2 - Guest DJ - Stardragon

It's embarrasing that it took so long for George to get a slot on the DMZ, we've played together several times and I've got several good mixes from him.... So it was only justified that I kick off the second run of theDMZ with this guy. Check out his website at www.stardragon.com.

Stay Funky....
see ya Next Week.
