Mixes

The Fringe - 2008.10.06 - Special Guest: Nate Laurence

The Fringe - 2008.09.15 - Hurricane Havoc

Hurricane Ike rolled into Chicago over the weekend after decimating the Gulf Coast. It wreaked havoc, flooding Chicago’s streets and screwin’ with the studios at WNUR. Listen as I protest the weather with some jackin’ house beats.

The Fringe - 2008.09.08 - Special Guest: Scrubfish

Scrubfish dropped a scorcher of a set! With 25 tracks in under 90 minutes, he set a dizzying pace that was matched only by the shear breadth of the selection. Though mostly jackin’, his set touched on everything from deep to acid to fidget house. Check it out if you’re in the mood to shake something… just as long as it’s not a baby.

The Fringe - 2008.08.25 - Special Guest: DJ De La

Every once in a while, The Fringe lets its hair down and lets De La throw down the most ridiculous electro, mash-ups, and fidget house he can come up with. This is one of those nights.

For the sake of dignity, there is no setlist.

The Fringe - 2008.08.18 - Special Guest: Santiago

Santiago made me sh*t my pants… again. Check this mix out for the nastiest of the fidget house. And be sure to check him and Bushido out next month for a live PA at Decibel Fest in Seattle!

The Fringe - 2008.06.23 - Special Guests: Karl Almaria & Midway Strangers

When he’s not moving large crowds with his strong arms, Karl Almaria stops by to spin a smooth set of deep jackin house. Following him is the always-hygenic Jolby of Midway Strangers fame who finished out the 2.5 hour set. See if you can spot the track he played twice!

The Fringe - 2008.06.16 - Special Guest: Martin Stoy

Rhythm Mechanics - 2008.06.09 - DJ Jaims Says Goodbye

Catch DJ Jaims on his last ever radio broadcast in Chicago. For this special show, though running a very high fever, Jaims flawlessly mixed an entire set of tracks from his favorite house producer: Joey Youngman.

The Fringe - 2008.06.09 - Busy Times

I managed to fit a radio show in between all these gigs, and it turned out pretty well. Have a listen if you’re lookin for some chill funky, latin, and straight-up jackin house.

The Fringe - 2008.06.02 - Sangre v. Jaims

The Fringe - 2008.04.21 - Zentra Plugfest

Amidst shameless plugs and ticket giveaways, I managed to bang out a nice set of tech, hop, fidget, funky, and jazzy house. My personal favorite: “Bounce that ass.”

The Fringe - 2008.04.14 - Fact Check

You best check yo facts, cus this mix is all lies… whatever that means.

The Fringe - 2008.04.07 - Sunshine, son!

Sorry, no setlist. Just lots of good music. Enjoy!

The Fringe - 2008.02.18 - The Postgame Party

This beginning of this broadcast was slightly abbreviated by coverage of a Northwestern women’s basketball game. But that just meant it was extra sweaty. Check out the result—a fierce lineup of dancefloor bangers that has been appropriately titled “The Postgame Party.”

The Fringe - 2007.02.11 - Winter Blues

After battling the icy streets of Chicago during yet another frigid week of winter, I needed this show to help me warm my frost-bitten toes.
