Scott came through with one of the more eclectic and odd mixes we have had here at ISM for his first guest mix, so you know he had to come even crazier for the second one. And he did. What I find interesting about this one is that he manages to take a bunch of 90’s rock tracks and edit them to take on an almost “punk-funk” feel. Did you ever imagine getting down to Nirvana’s “Love Buzz” in a club? Neither did I before this mix, despite it being one of my favorite cuts off of Bleach. He mixes tunes like that up with some vintage 80’s punk-funk by Liquid Liquid, some 00’s new wave influenced stuff by Erlend Oye, and even some German minimal to come up with a funky rock dance sound that is 100% irony free. This is pretty exciting for me, I think he is truly doing something different here and we are quite pleased to be hosting it!

this is pretty sick. i semi-slept on the first mix, but the list of artists on this one pricked up my ears, and i’m digging it a lot.
aside from minor issues with minor digital artifacts from Ableton’s quantization (which few outside the realm of those who play with it a lot would even pay attention to anyway), i’m quite impressed.
this is pretty danceable without making editing originals to make it obvious (or pandering…it’s almost getting too easy to hear a b-more club behind any pre-existing piece of music).
big ups, scott.
looks really good, looking forward to rocking it at work tomorrow. Thanks!
weird mix! honestly, this mix will maybe never be one of my favourite ones but I’m madly fascinated by your guts.
something completely different than I ever listened to in a dance-mix. I could imagine to get crazy on it when I’m drunk and bust.
I was an fan of the first mix although it featured almost none of “my” kind of music.
But actually I like this here even more. It has a better flow than the first one. And you can’t go wrong with 1979…
I finally got around to listening to this mix. It’s not bad, but no more compelling than Adam Freeland’s 2003 essential mix.
