Has anyone ever listened to the DirecTV music programming? Flip to the
'Sounds of the Season' section and you'll find a mix of
electronic/ambient/dub tracks. I've got a sneaking suspicion that Jason
Bentley (L.A. DJ) or one of his minions is behind it; a lot of the tracks
come from Quango compilations.
I wouldn't categorize Bentley as an IDM DJ but there are some good tracks
mixed in with the occasional Faithless type stuff. I heard some BJ
Cole/Luke Vibert, Jah Wobble, and Goldfrapp. I have a soft spot for
Goldfrapp; we spend lots of time together in Wisconsin last year.
Just for those L.A. folks who occasionally hear Bentley (whose musical
choices I think have, okay I won't use the word deteriorate, moved in a
certain direction over time) my guess is that he wants to stay with the
accessible 'electronica'. I guess I have a soft spot for him too; before I
knew of IDM I'd record his shows.
Sorry for the prolonged L.A. moment but there was a KCRW DJ called Bruno
Guez who outclassed Bentley on musical choice but was really erratic
schedule-wise. I know something happened to him but does anyone have
details on this?
Oh, and I'm stuck after surgery on a torn achilles (basketball) so if anyone
has any ideas of ways I could constructively trainspot (books etc... ) then
email me at: sophtwarez@hotmail.com. Or, hey, you could donate a track to a
person who would never review it.
Peace IDM crew,
David
