Wed, 6 Sep 2006 22:40:00 GMT

I've looked around for some new blood to hype after the great reaction to Noel Neiman's appearance on the 3rd Set Theory show. The response has been good enough that I've decided to do an occasional show highlighting new artists. The first installment of this new Set Theory show will be up for you very soon.

If any of you would like your original music or mixed sets to be considered for an appearance on Set Theory, please email me at admin@nem0nic.com and tell me a little about yourself and your music.

Alright folks, it's time for the long overdue next installment of SubSet. DJ Kevin James graces us with a smooth but funky mix of house.

Kevin has been into EDM since the age of 14, and while other kids his age were thinking about cars, he was dreaming about Technics 1200s and TR-808s. He hails from Massachusetts, and has been involved with Boston based Island 9 (who he credits with getting him into production).

We can't wait to hear more from you, Kevin! But enough with the jibba jabba, here's the tracklist...

1. Patrick L - Foot Days are Gone
2. Future Funk Squad - Audio Damage (D.Ramierez)
3. Openair - The Octagon (Mashtronic)
4. Astro - Awake or Dreaming (Martijn Ten Velden)
5. Christiano Vinci and Massimo - Vision (Superjuno)
6. Mohawk - My Deepest Darkest Secret
7. Phatjak - Since I Found You (Mashtronic)
8. The Dregs Family - Overload
9. Bart Van Wissen - Getting Closer
10. Dzierzek Liousias - Randoms
11. Flash Bros - Past will be Future (D-nox & Beckers)
12. Spector - Elektrify (Lexicon Avenue)
13. Jaytech - Engage
14. The Key Generators - Party people (Mashtronic)
15. Chable & Bonnici - Ride (Mashtronic)

Set Theory Top 5 New Releases - 8/20/2006

Mon, 21 Aug 2006 00:36:00 GMT

Been a slow week for good new music, but I managed to find a few gems...

Beastie Boys - Sure Shot (Jerome Robins 5 Boroughs Mix)
Evanz D - Feel The Muzik (Original Mix)
Justin Xara and DJ Criminal - 5000kwts (Ortzroka Remix)
Doktor - Starfire feat. Alexander Perls (Electro Original Mix)
Dirty Pervertz - Hang On (Original Mix)

Also, be sure and check out the new releases by DJ Fresh if you're into Drum and Bass at all. The whole album is fantastic, with Funk Academy and All Strung Out being my favorites. Sick stuff.

No new show?

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 17:35:00 GMT

So the reaction to the new show format was less than overwhelming. I'm trying, folks. Until I get a handle on what is going to work, I'm putting the regular ST show on hold. I still plan on doing the weekly Top 5 shows, as those seem to be getting the best reaction and provide the biggest service.

Set Theory Top 5 New Releases - 8/1/2006

Wed, 2 Aug 2006 01:50:00 GMT

Aaron McClelland - Synth Rush (Dumb Dan Remix)
Malente - Like A Freek (Original Mix)
Oliver Nickels - On The Pulse (Original Mix)

No Show This Week...

Thu, 27 Jul 2006 14:24:00 GMT

Sorry folks. No Top 5 or show this week. I've had a computer failure and heavy work schedule that has conspired to keep me from entertaining you. The replacement computer has arrived and I'm currently in the process of moving data from it's hard drive to the new one. I will be back up and running next week with a new Top 5 on Monday and Set Theory 4 on Saturday.

Set Theory Top 5 New Releases - 7/13/2006

Wed, 12 Jul 2006 05:19:00 GMT

A new week means new music. The only thing I didn't like about last week's set was that it wasn't mixed. This week the music is mixed, and I'll continue to do so as long as the music permits (I'm not going to shoehorn an ambient or D&B track into an electro song in other words).

Really good week for music!

John Digweed - Warung Beach (Mashtronic's White Sands Remix)
Martin H - Tromb (Original Mix)
16 Bit Lolitas - Omega 3 (Original Mix)
Atmos - Ordinary Weekend (Thomas Penton Mix)
Bodyrox - Yeah Yeah (Electro Mix)

Set Theory Top 5 New Releases - 7/6/2006

Fri, 7 Jul 2006 01:27:00 GMT

Mason - Exceeder (Original Mix)
MYNC Project, Danny Rampling - Strobelight (Random House Project Mix)
EmSlice vs Denga - Sumo (Original Mix)
Jack Shaft - Superlogical (Original Mix)

What's the deal?

Wed, 28 Jun 2006 23:33:00 GMT

Yeah, I know. I've been thinking about what I'm doing here and what I'm wanting from all of this. So I've decided that Set Theory will undergo a little format change. I personally think it's for the better, but only time will tell.

First, the regular bi-weekly Set Theory show will become a more "radio style" show, with segments covering new music, gear, and other things (interviews, etc). Each show will still have a "theme" but now I can expand out and cover things like classic dance and new unsigned artists without worrying about what will fit properly into a given mix. The general audience I'm aiming at are EDM fans, but there will be alot of DJ oriented info in the show. The new music segment will feature song clips as well as the listing, so you can get an idea of what the music sounds like. Show information will be posted on this site as well.

But I recognise that mixed music has a definate fan base, and I always wanted to promote other DJs as part of the show, so there will be another show every OTHER week called "Sub Set" that will be an hour long mixed set from guest DJs (I will of course also occasionally put up mixes). So you'll still be getting a mix every 2 weeks, but you'll also be getting an EDM "show" as well.

First show will be up early next week, and will be covering retro techno. I'll also be talking about the Feena Electronics FMDJ9303 MIDI Controller. I've even remade the open to something a little beefier.

I hope all 5 of you like it!

Show Number Two - Drum and Bass

Sun, 4 Jun 2006 04:53:00 GMT

This edition of Set Theory brings you an increasingly darker set of Drum and Bass. I never know where I'm going to end up with these things, and the evil stuff just sounded right. Technically there's a little of everything in this one, from Techstep to Jump Up. My favorite track this time around is DJ Fresh's "The Immortal". I passed on this track 3 times before I bought it, but I've been listening to it quite a bit since and it's certainly grown on me. This one clocks in at 53:48 and the average BPM is 178.

Enjoy!

Set Theory Intro - nem0nic
Adam F - Eightball - Original Mix
DJ Craze, Juju - Superfly - Original Mix
Basic Operations - Final Say - Original Mix
Aphrodite - Will We Love DUB - Dub Mix
2sense & Kaotik Grace - Put it Down - Original Mix
Drumsound, Simon Bassline Smith - Killa DJ - Original Mix

Dred Bass - War Of The Worlds - Original Mix

Email from listeners...

Wed, 24 May 2006 12:22:00 GMT

First of all, welcome to all the iTunes folks that can now grab the cast. I've had a couple emails asking me what equipment I used to make the mix. The basics are as folows.

2 x Stanton T.120 turntables
1 x Stanton C.314 CD deck
1 x Stanton C.304 CD deck
1 x Denon DN-X500 mixer
Stanton Final Scratch 2 with TDJS3 software
1 x Korg Kaoss Pad 2
1 x Behringer Nano MIDI controller
Dell XPS M140 Laptop (for FS)

Ideally I would like to handle synchronized loop playback via OSC on a seperate computer, but right now TDJS3's OSC implementation is a little finicky. For this mix, I used the CD decks for the drop ins instead. The open segment was totally preproduced in Vegas and Reason. So there ya go. If you have any more questions, please email me at admin@nem0nic.com.

Show Number One!

admin@nem0nic.com — Sun, 21 May 2006 04:52:00 GMT

Well here it is, after much procrastination - the first edition of Set Theory. I've decided that because of my schedule and the way releases are going I'll be doing a mix every 2 weeks instead of weekly. I might decide to revise that later, we'll see. The genre this edition is Electro House, it clocks in at 59:39, and the average BPM is 126. Here's the tracklisting...

Set Theory Intro - nem0nic
Noir - My MTV - D.Ramirez 'Evil Business' Remix
Coburn - Give Me Love - L tzenkirchen Remix
Olav Basoski - Waterman feat. Michie One - Trophy Twins Goes Pop The Vox Mix
Isaac James - BodyBody (Dirty South mix)
Full Intention - The Guitar - Original Mix
Phunk Electric - Video Games Crash - Touche Remix
DJ Cal, 091 - Girls Don't Like Electronic Music - Callea's Back To Sexy Acid Mix
DJ Rooster & Sammy Peralta - Tonight - Starkillers Edit NY Style Mix

The Egg - Walking Away - Tocadisco Remix
M1 - Electronic Funk - Hatiras Remix

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Set Theory!

Sun, 23 Apr 2006 23:07:00 GMT

You probably got here from the Konstrukt podcast and are expecting some music. You're a bit early. I should have a proper mix posted within a week and will kick things off with an electro house set (imagine that!). Over the following weeks, I'll explore genres from trance to classic techno.

So stay tuned...
