this week, radiohypno gets back to its roots…doing like only radiohypno does - namely, going off on a tangent, then making a hard right turn into some wholly other territory.

i was feeling like hearing some jamaican sounds…which then turned into a dnb dubplate, rock steady grooves, and off i went. then i stumbled across some smooth summer sounds (if “everybody loves the sunshine” doesn’t make you sit back and nod your head, you aren’t human), and that took off into some ambient-noodly business.

on paper, it makes no sense. hell, in anyone’s head but mine, it makes no sense. but it sounds good. dig it. listen for the surprise reveal at the end of the show. happy summer, y’all.

what? two guest mixes in a row? is your intrepid dj getting lazy on you? how can this be?

relax, friends. i’m just so entertained and amused by turning over the playlist reins to friends that i don’t want to stop the party. i’m simply enjoying this too much!

this week’s guest mix was submitted by  friend and blogstress extraordinaire, andrea w. originally hailing from somweheresville, ohio, andrea found her way to the sandy beaches of pittsburgh for her higher education, and is now  in the masters program for publishing at NYU.

i have to say, i’m surprised with this mix. i expected more indie rock, and was pleasantly surprised with a nice selection of electronically infused goodness. and the gap band. i fuckin’ LOVE the gap band. did i ever tell you that the first tape i got (my 3rd birthday, march 1979) was the gap band album with “oops, upside your head” on it. not only did i wear it out, but i still have it to this day, in all its unplayable glory.

lolbuffy - i’m in ur intartubes, kapshunin’ ur vamps

enjoy this mix, and to those of you who i’ve told to get your playlists in order…get crackin!!! first come, first hosted!

Episode 303 - 7/8/07 - Guest Mix: Jason C

radiohypno is proud to present its first ever guest mix, and it’s hard for me to imagine that the bar could be set any higher…

jason c. has been a fixture in the nightlife of pittsburgh, pa for almost a decade. as the entertainment coordinator for Havana in the Shadyside district, Jason’s Thursday nights became synonymous with soulful house and techno music for over 7 years (more than two lifetimes for any other dance music weekly in the 412 area). the consistent quality of music, and the welcoming atmosphere of jason and brother mike (the resident reverend of the “deep house” religion) always made me feel welcome and at home at Havana.

along with jack wilson, jason writes and performs music under the EastsideSoul moniker. check out their myspace for some soulful beats (that will be featured in later radiohypno shows…).

i suppose it should be noted that jason doesn’t necessarily consider himself a “dj”. i guess 7 years of hosting the best that pittsburgh had to offer must have taught him a thing or two via osmosis…i know i’m gushing, but this mix is quality, folks.
