Kraut and Analog Electronic

Because I was unable to create a new show for this week I am uploading a special show from the past. This show was done just after attending and Djing my friend Alex Lancaster’s wedding. Alex and I started the Twisted Groove radio show together sometime in 2000. Without meeting Alex and us brainstorming together the Twisted Groove may never have happened. The first set is built around the early electronic dance music Alex turned me onto in the early days of the Twisted Groove. The second set is built on my love of Kraut or Berlin School electronic, a style of electronic music I have always been attracted to. Originally aired October 4, 2008.
