yeah, the dumbass had an mp3 player at the airport that had well over 200 of his (probably better off) unreleased crap, and about 85 unreleased songs from squarepusher. as soon as that was known a bunch of cunts decided to make their own music and say it was one of those lost aphex twin tracks, which was all hilariously covered by rdj himself in a press conference. |

me: "seriously if you don't know about underground electronic, don't do that kind of show. " i meant exactly what you said rez. But if you really wanted to do an unknown artist show you could. I think non mainstream radio has an obligation to play unknown stuff. It's the only competitor against big bad corporate radio. Playing anything mainstream is a waste of airtime IMO. |

i think not only aphex twin, but the entire warp label. using RDJ as a *standard* isnt right though. RDJ has a style and technique to make music uniquely his own. using his humor and playground-type beats as a standard is only going to result you in being a big warp label whore. and wreck, in terms of radio shows, which i also do, i also think of the audience, and also how it mixes. techno might as well have a hundred different sub genres to it, and instead of naming them, you can just tell by the sound. how are any "underground" songs going to mix in with crystal meth (i know they seem like my fave punching bag, and they are) without sounding like the DJ's gone haphazard? growth. if you have a steady radio show, play what you know, and the musical mindset you know, and expand into new territory until you have enough for another whole show, and keep digging after that. but this isnt even arguing about music anymore, it's leaned heavily into personal musical opinion of how a radio show should progress, ferchrissakes.... do what you want. |

| wreckreation | aphex twin is the best gateway artist into the realm of truly innovative electronica. | |

But the thing is, there are little to no electronic shows in Maryland (In my area, anyway.) It really wouldn't matter if the artists were well-known or not, because to us Maryland folk, they'd all be unknowns. I actually walked around school with a BT shirt and told everyone I'd give them 10 bucks if they could tell me who he was. No one could.

| wreckreation | If i were doing a radio show(and i often do), I'd be thinking in terms of the audience, not the dj. Hence, "pretty unknown" would be in relation to the people listening to the show. I am sure more than a few listeners to an electronic show would know all of those groups. | |

based on shmid's list unknown means "autechre" not "cell auto mata" or damn near anything on the ant-zen label. or synth-etik... anything that different or engaging just wount fit on his list. you cant put deiselboy and crystal meth next to panacea or out hud. prefuse 73 forces you to get in a completely different mindset than if you'd be listening to crystal meth. i was going by what was already on his list and what would fit as nicely as possible to it, as he is being a DJ on the air. it sure as hell aint underground, but does it need to? fuck it ALL, play that "crazy in love" song by beyonce, that one rocks everyone pretty hard. mmm, yes. |

Daft Punk and Benny Benassi. But really, tell them to screw off and just play video game music for as long as you can on the air, and that's it. And make sure it's in really bad MIDI format. |

"Those are all pretty well-known artists, though, and I want some pretty unknown people." Schimid said it. |

this is the least underground thread ever. seriously if you don't know about underground electronic, don't do that kind of show. especially today with soooo many different genres of electronic music. The station i work at has a lot of different electronic shows and none of them sound alike. "electronic" is way too wide a genre. |

hmm... underworld - moaner, kittens, cowgirl, king of snake, born slippy nuxx amon tobin - chronic tronic, verbal squarepusher - come on my selector, greenways trajectory, do you know squarepusher aphex twin - 54 cymru beats, girl boy song, digeridoo oh man, its too late to go in my fucking library for all of this stuff, these are just the basics really, looking at your list, it should spice it a bit. especially since BT and Crystal meth kinda blow in all areas except production (classic american style) and aphrodite just blows period. good luck, i sound like a jerk, but i do wish you luck. |

| Ninjavenom | Praga Khan and Photek are both classy. Shinjuku Thief if you want your listeners to be wicked bored. Merzbow if you want them to hate you. | |

| sloth | venetian snares, four tet, fanny, knifehandchop, hrvatski, donna summer, squarepusher, apex twin, prefuse 73, emotional joystick, kid606, cex...the miniboss idea is awesome, to get notoriety. | |

Rotten anal enema. Fuck the techno idea though and go all minibosses all the time. That would be a fucking great idea. |
