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!

The Deal

A castle in Germany? DAH!

A castle in Germany? DAH!

Today I got some mixed news and I think (without getting too personal about the whole deal… it is business after all) that the best way to deal with challenges is to use some creative energy to recharge myself  and to just simply tear into some DJ mixing. With that– I have recorded “digitalflood Pirate Radio Vol. 5 Ep. 4” in raw mix session format. It’s the only way I know to deal with challenges in life (to create). A few glasses of Bacardi Rum Select and a few hours later– I believe I have recorded the best mix tape ever. Angst breeds artistry. Artistry leads to creation. And now you the viewer can prosper from my angst. This Sunday (12/13/09) I promise you the best mix tape session ever. It is heavy on a certain genre. It is a tribute to a certain club in Newark, NJ (the select few of you have caught on already) and it is possibly the most incredible mix ever. On 12/13/09 the new digitalflood Pirate Radio drops. It is unreal. I promise you this much. I’m listening to the raw mix right now– prepare to be blown away.

Shameless Self Promotion

New for 2009, we now have an official Merchandise Shop for you to pick up official digitalflood clothing, cups, and miscellaneous crud. May I recommend the dog t-shirt featuring the “Cats – The Other White Meat” logo for your favorite pooch? Nobody ever said we had good taste. For Christmas I picked up an M-Audio XSession Pro MIDI Mixer controller, which will most certainly lead to all sorts of hooligan DJ activity. As I type this I’m listeing to a raw mix of the latest live DJ mix of digitalflood Pirate Radio. I think you’ll agree– this one was worth the wait when you hear.
