Dr. Strangeloop
“my mind’s a wreck so I’m making a cure MIX (for Xolair)”
Dr. Strangeloop is here this month as autumn leaves are left after a thunderstorm.
Strangeloop is an inspiring L.A-based musician and VJ ( I would personally call him a live-cinema artist since his work is not just background imagery, as is the case with most VJ work) and is a part of Flying Lotus’ essential Brainfeeder imprint. In June they released the “Are We Lost Mammals of an Approaching Transcendental Epoch?” EP, a downright mystical work that reminds us of how dirty beats can be elegant, transcendental, and produced with a finer touch than what is typically found at your standard rave.
His work has supported the live sets of such artists as: Mala, Flying Lotus, Dorian Concept, Samiyam, Martyn , The Gaslamp Killer, Kode 9, Hudson Mohawk, Joker, Daedelus, Skream, 2562, N-Type, and many more… And if you went to the Coachella festival, you might have seen him vjing in the Coachella dome.
In January of 2010, his new EP “BALANCE” will be released through Brainfeeder / Alpha Pup. And In May, the awaited LP, “Easy Listening for our Future Children”, will hit the music stores.

And this month I took some herbs out of the lab and made an infused Hip-Hop Mix.
Enjoy the Music!!!!!
Paulo.

This month, Miss Kat out of Greece is here for you with a killer dirty set. I really like having a female dj in my specials, and Miss Kat is the first one. I don’t know why, but it has been difficult to find good female djs out there, and I think there should be more, since they add special vibes and feelings to things because that’s something women do. For her booking contact, general information, etc., you can go to http://www.myspace.com/jazzsoulicious.
In this special, out of the UK , MXM is here exclusively for you. He is a talented producer, musician and dj. This year he launched Amp-Art Recordings, a new UK based label dedicated to the releasing of high quality electronic music with jazz and soul. The first “must have” EP he released through this label is called Dislok8ted Science with 4 killer tracks and has been pretty well accepted by the critics in the UK and it’s almost out of stock.
Something that has always captured my attention, is all the respect and admiration of Japanese artists towards Latin music, and how, inspired by this music, they have created so many amazing pieces. In this special, Yosaku is here with an exclusive mix for you produced or released by Japanese artists or labels .
This summer got started in Spain last weekend with the Sonar 2009, which is just a starter for what will be the happening in music during the following months, making planet Earth one great festival. Without a doubt, in these times of crisis, the presence of music is stronger than ever, reminding us that it is one of the healing forces of the universe. 
For those who haven’t heard about him before, Ben Mono is a producer, musician, and Dj from Munich (Germany), (Compost Records). He makes a unique style called Bit-Hop, named by himself. He slows down the tempo and adds some abundance – Bit-Hop means less beats per minute but more density in sound. Bit-Hop also means the digital merging of different styles, a symbiosis of stripped down HipHop and booming Electro. Wherever he spins records he comes up with new variations in tempo and style while never forgetting about some sureshot bangers.
