Mix:16: TechNoise

Ever since Surgeon played Whitehouse on Rodz Konez I have been fascinated in 'noise music.'

How far can the human mind go in terms of sound?

Noise music is extreme in every way, it isolates the listener, there is no compromising here. Like alot of music that is made to comfort us, noise music sets out to do the opposite. Very few people want to be challenged in this way.

Noise personally is a cathartic experience for me. To combine noise with techno has been something I have been interested in doing for some time and thanks to 'Smear' for releasing 'Corrupted Veins' one of the most groundbreaking noise-techno crossover tracks since British Murder Boys' - Learn Your Lesson. Smears track has really inspired me to do this by showing me the potential that can come from the marriage of two extreme styles of music.

Mix 4: At The End Of The Day

Inspired by Amon Tobin's track. I was on my way home from work in Belfast one early evening and I was listening to this particular song and I thought it captured the feeling of the cold city at twilight so well. It's when everything is winding down from a day and people are rushing home, on trains, cars or on foot. There is a real desire in the air, to get home, to get away from the madness, only to start it all again the very next day. I wanted a collection of songs that captured a similar feeling of busy cities. Sounds that echoed the skyscrapers and alleyways, people, vechiles and the city descending into darkness.

02...The Aloof - Stuck On The Shelf
03...Massive Attack - Man Next Door
