Description
This podcast is called “(All this talk of Disco…) The Jerking Back and Forth Mix”. The title (part-borrowed from a Devo song) is an indication of the type of involuntary body responses provoked whilst enjoying these songs as well as the sound itself. The new stuff and the old stuff, the local stuff and the stuff from very far afield is united here through a kind of “loose is tight” jerking rhythm and DIY spirit we love.
Although all tracks are at their original tempo and of course not “mixed” as such, there is however some kind of a flow (be it a “jerking” one) to the podcast.
Again there is no tracklist for reasons outlined in the notes for “Optimo Podcast 01″ but again, if anyone really wants to know what a particular track is, we will be happy to tell them. Collected over the past 30 years or so, none of the music is (that) hard to find.
The podcast was recorded using turntables, then the levels balanced here and there in Protools. The mix contains 20 tracks, lasts just under an hour and the download is a 192kbps mp3 (80.9mb).
Enjoy.
