Okay, OK. I’m gonna apologise to most people upfront. This is not your standard SynthLords podcast. In a way i wanted to see if i could mix this stuff, and also if people would hate it so much i’d get death threats. Whereas most bloggers will tell you stories how they grew up on classic hip hop, or warehouse rave parties - i did my teenage years headnodding to Cali-punk and skating office blocks. Call it my guilty pleasure. call it my dark side. Call it Dr Jekyll and Mr STUART. The short version is when you’re clipping in at the top of the park, or about to bomb that hill, sometimes you need stuff like this… Don’t worry - it’s back to crunchy, choppy, synthy normal next time.

Sometimes one song is worth a whole mix. And other times one image is worth a whole podcast entirely. I give to you the above – proof that Japan may be the only thing to survive the apocalypse. I am truly amazed by their shameless merging of childrens style with beyond adult themes. Bravo guys, bravo. This one’s a shameless merger too - upfront electro with a hip hop chaser. Kind of like a Jaeger bomb with a Colt 45. Enjoy…

What? You thought i’d let TOMMYK have all the fun? After a surf trip up the coast, 10 days of being deaf in one ear and a bunch of extra work, i’m back b*tches. It’s crazy how a couple of week’s go by, and suddenly there’s hundreds of songs piling up. So with me back, TOMMYK back (but unfortunately no Maybach) you’re back in aural business.

The finale! In the third we get it all - the hookups, the deaths, the revelations and the final resolutions. Suddenly it all makes sense. And then we pray they leave the franchise alone. No one ever likes the fourth movie. (Not us - we’ll give you, like, a hundred more!)

The second part of any trilogy inevitably builds up to an excruciating cliffhanger. Whose Luke’s Dad? How far is this doom mountain? Are the Corleone’s really about free trade? Then - BOOM! Credits. Hold on for part three…

Much like old age, some things have been taking forever lately. Despite not having the wrinkly good looks of a Connery or a Clooney, i am well on the way to going prematurely senile. Til then however, it’s time to play catch up. Keep an ear out the next couple of days as the Trilogy of Catchup is coming your way. Therefore, consider this the prologue/intro/money grabbing CGI prequel.

Don’t do it for the money, don’t do it for a birthday, don’t do it for the sake of it – just do it because you LOVE it. Whatever it is you do. But especially those special things you do.

PS. I think we found our new live set opener… John Williams never sounded so good (well, except for the rad Ableton-cut Imperial mix that Kato drops occasionally. Hey Barney - wanna flow us a copy?)

The older i get, the worse i am with heights. By old age (if i ever reach it) i’ll be unable to get out of bed for fear of splattering all over the floor. For now i’ll have to deal with glass elevators, rooftops and midgets (they just make me feel really high up). Til then i’ll be dropping mixes like this one (from the ground floor)…
