dBMcast#124 : Galaktivated Beats v1.1 : Beyond the North Borders
Mixed by DJ Playaduster from 4thKorner Soundsystems, March 2013
Welcome to another electro-acoustic audio journey with your friend DJ Playaduster! For this mix, we do a deep dive exploration of the new Bonobo album Beyond the North Borders, weaving in and out of the fresh Simon Green instrumental tracks with a wide variety of songs that both compliment and complicate his polyrhythmic ideas. Get ready for 1 hour 45 minutes of beat-heavy, rhythmically-dense, multiphonic groovescapes. Guaranteed to get your toe tapping in the dust! Plug in, turn on, tune out and let yourself ride on the rhythms of life…….shifting sands, bushmen rituals, broken appliances, alien jazz clubs, footsteps, dream drums, laser battles, Tibetan monks: welcome to music from the New Funk Millennium. Welcome to GALAKTIVATED BEATS!

123: Whomp Massive 4 : Vapor Dreams & Molecular Modifcations
Mixed by DJ Playaduster at 4thKorner Soundsystems, January 2013
Another installment in the celebrated Whomp Massive series--inspired low-end collages for your personal Bass Chakra Therapy practice. This one starts slow and languid, taking its time before Nico Luminous starts getting rowdy with "Swamp Gate" and we achieve Whomp Massive lift-off at precisely minute 17:46. The rest is bass gravy……
Tracklist:
Gladkill "Distance > Don't Say No"
sAuce + SIMPLETON + Dub.Buddha "Sleepytime "
Nicoluminous "Swamp Gate"
GRiZ "Vision of Happiness"
ChrisB. "Tripping in the Key of Balls"
Gladkill "Beyond Me"
The Candyman "Molecular Modifications"
NiT GriT "Dimethyltryptamine"
Guttstar "Vapors"
Whitebear "Fever Dreams"
The Polish Ambassador "Future, Sex, Computers" medley (Sugarpill / Gladkill / Stephen Jacobs remixes)
Mus Sik "Eternal Smile"
Kaminanda "Time Travellers"
ChrisB. "Eye in the Sky > Triangular Objects"
Gramatik "Bluestep"
Michael Menert "Eventide" (edit)
ps. one of my most vivid, blissful memories of Burning Man 2012 was swinging freely on an oversized swing set behind the DJ stand at False Prophet's annual Tuesday Night party on the Esplanade. The sense of weightlessness, the backdrop of innumerable stars against the inky black eternity of sky, the empathic bass and blinky lights and love and dust….After the Polish Ambassador's playa debut, ChrisB took the party to the next level with his confident bass-slinging of daring low-end frequencies to a very supportive crowd of movers & groovers…..perfect!

Subterranean Homesick Blues : Dreamstep II
15/March/13 Filed in: DJ Playaduster
Mixed by DJ Playaduster, December 2012
A strange and slightly unsettling journey through bass & space music past and present, intuitively guided by DJ Playaduster in the dark heart of winter. This is a weird one, folks, where Playaduster followed the muse wherever she wandered, accepting her guidance and translating the cosmic downloads in to beats, bass and sideways swerves. Not for casual listening, but rewarding if you want to buy the ticket and take the ride!
Pantha du Prince "Walden 2"
Scuba "Lights Out"
Burial + Four Tet + Thom Yorke "Mirror"
Pantha du Prince "Saturn Strobe"
Four Tet Fabriclive 59 set (edit)

Threshold (Open Me Slowly)
31/December/12 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Playa Mixes
Mixed by DJ Playaduster, December 2012
Here's one more dBMcast for 2012 and the first to actually feature some of the soundstick recordings captured at Burning Man 2012. dBMcast #117 features Moontroll of Get Found reporting from the road to Gerlach, and from the exciting moment when one's vehicles leaves pavement and hits the playa, and from the line to get in to the city when a whiteout dust storm stopped all movement. Moontroll is geared towards that once-a-year passage through the Portal to the other side, and his excitement is palpable. Ride shotgun with him as he approaches the Threshold to another world of magic and mystery, a journey with an undulating soundtrack of forward-leaning bass music that touches on electroboogie, dubstep, ambient, world beat, breaks and other styles.
As this mix is about thresholds, portals, journeys and crossings, you'll also hear contributions from Terrence McKenna speaking on UFOs and spirit molecules and a science report on recent NASA searches for elusive portals that spontaneously open and close in the Earth's magnetosphere.
Track list:
Break Science "Forest of Illumination"
Elliott Lipp "The Sunset"
Michael Menert "Take All You Want"
Kaminanda "The Portal"
Sugarpill "Bring It Back"
eDIT "Mildew"
Rena Jones "Open Me Slowly"
Beats Antique "Hero"
Nicholas Jaar "Colomb"
DJ/rupture "Save from the Flames All That Yet Remains"
Pantha du Prince "Stick To My Side" (Four Tet remix)
Grizmatik "Digital Liberation in Mad Freedom"
