Kaskade - BBC Radio One Essential Mix

Kaskade : Official | Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud
It was only a matter of time until Kaskade presented us with his very own BBC Radio One Essential Mix [AIRED SEPTEMBER 9, 2011]. Till this day I still have his Coachella 2010 Mix in regular rotation. Having experienced that set first hand gives that mix a very special place in my collection. Now that I'm listening to his current Essential Mix I know for sure this too will leave a permanent mark on music memory bank. To take things up a notch Ryan has even uploaded it onto his Soundcloud for complete unaltered listening. Enjoy!

Previous videos cover cities such as Detroit as well as Bristol. The video above covers what most say is the central hub of Techno. For a more detailed brief read below...

Pluto the 9th [Feature Interview + Tour Dates]

Pluto the 9th : Official | Facebook | Twitter - Photo : Tim Wagner
Had an opportunity to catch up with my good friend/super sensei/long time Dank Radio supporter Jonathan Wandag. He's been busy traveling the universe creating the perfect score for your personal scores. I was able to make contact with him briefly to see what he and his fellow Plutonian mate, Amalia Miller, have been busy creating musically. We discuss how they were drawn to music, how they create their music, and what the symbolism of Pluto and The 9th have to do with each other. I may be slightly biased being that they are my friends, but this has been one of the funnest/funniest/entertaining/enlightening interviews I've ever conducted.

Nativity: First off thank you for doing this interview with us. I know it's crunch time the week of the big event and we really appreciate you taking time from your collective band readiness sessions to answer these questions. Before we get into the main course let's begin with you two introducing yourselves and what you do for the band and how the group came to be.

Jonathan: First off Nativity, I'd just like to say that I'm very happy to be in cahoots with you again, whether it be on the radio, musically, social networkingly, or sausagely. It's all grand and beefy... which means, it's magtastic.

Now to answer your questions: I, Jonathan, write music, sing, play keys and orchestra, and shake my ass. Amalia does the exact same thing along with sing E's an octave above the highest E in the treble clef, make animal noises, and show off that massive crater of a dimple on her face.

Amalia: But really, we were journeying across the solar system and our spaceships bumped into each other somewhere around Mars and... never mind. Long story short, Jonathan and I met at UCLA in 2000 and collaborated once every few years on music, from orchestral overtures to silly covers. We even performed in the SF BART stations. After some poor looking dude gave us a $10, we knew we had to get serious.

Jonathan: Yeah, I mean that paid for our dinner. Why not make a real band and get rich?
