May I present my favourite podcasts dealing with dj mixes in the last months.

1. Resident Advisor
Every week a new mix and everyone is of high quality. The genres are diverse from heavier Berghain techno (Dettmann, Fengler) to Experimental (Surgeon), Discoish (Brothers Bouaziz), straigt club (Carl Craig) or dubby and steppy (Applebim).
Here is an example by Scuba ak SCB

2. Ninja Tunes Solid Steel
Ninja Tunes used to be and is one of my favourite labels, with their Solid Steel radio show they always manage to surprise and show the diversity of their taste. Bass filled music, rare funk tunes, club bangers come together in this always very well selected and presented mixes. Here is an example of Clubb Rock’s Darren Judge & Mikee Lazy with tracks from Lady Chann, Seiji and MJ Cole, Untold, Joy Orbison and Ramadanman.

3. Drumandbass.de
Holding up the Drum’n’Bass flag for the German scene, J-Cut and Kolt Siewerts unregularly present fresh tunes from the drum and bass universe, pretty straight, with J-Cut leaning more to the liquid, said easy and dense, side of the range, Siewerts with more jumpy and wobbly stuff. With a very entertaining style of presenting their show they soon hit the German podcast charts. Here is one of their own production, also a hit last year, the “Flute Tune” to get an idea.

4. Fabric London
Despite the tragic fact that London’s probably best club has gone into administration their podcast is one of the podcast pearls at the electronic music’s heaven. Great mixes and music presentations by people like Four Tet, Surgeon, Vadim and Jazzanova. Absolutely listenable.

Update No.1 (thanks to Philipp)
5. Xlr8r
Big names like MJ Cole, James Holden or Trentemöller present a very diverse range of electronic music.

Update No.2 (thanks to Kay)
6. Also very awesome and for all the dubby dubstep lovers (just like me) around here is the Wax Treatment Podcast. The regular sunday dubstep night at Horst Berlin features DJs like Pete and Surgeon. Dubstep from its nonwobbly, but atmospheric and complex side.

Metalheadz go back to their roots and release Lenzman and Rya, walking on Inner City Life paths. Very nice video, talking a bike ride through Brighton.

A somewhat more temporary way of producing this kind of feel is maybe this song
Cruel Intentions by Simian Mobile Disco (Joker Remix)

found via Pluggednotthugged, one really great blog about bass music.

To end this post, I have to admit that it would be stupid not to download this great resident advisor podcast by Pete, found via Monday Edition

This weekend, my mate Patrick Gräser will be part of “One night of confidence” – an old techno hero, Pascal Feos, will present his new album and also Patrick who gets more and more confident in his style of deep, rolling house inspired techno will show some of his new tracks. Enjoy also his new mixtape from february.

Mix Feb 10 by patrickgraeser

Eigentlich habe ich nur das Video posten wollen und bin dann erst richtig in die Comfort Fit Welt eingestiegen. Der Typ ist der Hammer! Erst einmal habe ich mich daran erinnert dass ich schon früher seine Tracks mochte, die auf Tokio Dawn Records rauskommen, m.E. einem der wenigen wirklich guten Netlabels. Damals, vor vier oder fünf Jahren ist mir das durch den De:Bug Podcast reingelaufen. Und jetzt dieses Video und ein tolles neues Album. Und eigentlich habe ich den Artikel für das Urban Blog von Beck’s geschrieben, aber er passt eigentlich noch besser auf Stylewalker . Also: Enjoy!

So sieht es aus wenn aus einem schönen leeren 50er Jahre Zimmer eine durchgerockte Partybude wird. Sehr schön gemachtes, aufwendiges Stop-Motion Musikvideo für Comfort Fit’s Bit by Bit.

Nach dem Klick gibt’s noch mehr, u.a. ein Klasse Mixtape! Continue >>

This is a good line-up, especially Birdy Nam Nam who are a kick-ass, four headed DJ crew from France with lots of style and creativity. On four decks they manage to create entire songs, supertight and ready to dance. Their big achievement is to find ways in between turntable/nerdism and straight club feel. Together with Crookers and Léonard de Léonard this sounds like a night of sweat and fun.

Is it now closed forever? The legendary Bar25 had some closing parties already, this august was another one. This open air, after hour party place, close to the river rents its land from the Berlin sanitation department and every year needs to negotiate a new contract. Depending on public will and the awareness that subculture is one of Berlin’s biggest assets, they might get a new for 2010, the pary will go on and we will see yet another closing party.
Here is a mix from this year’s last fest, by Dirty Döring – trippy, circuslike, dancy, dreamy a little balearic and minimal at the same time.

This mix is fantastic, it presents the deep, warm and longing side of the dubstep, not the aggressive and wobbly part. Funny enough it’s to promote Haito’s new record which is rather tech-housy than dubby. Haito has been djing and producing since 1988 and now comes out on Boxer recordings.
Enjoy!

It’s the f**ng drum and the f** bass! Kolt Siewerts strikes again and gives us one massive jump up club banging drum n bass mix with lots of fun and smile. Starts off with a remix that might be “Ton, Steine, Scherben” and continues to some inyourface-attacks and doesn’t fear the souly moments either.

Besides this guy turns 33 on 20090909 – so it’s a present he has for us. Massive thanks and happy birthday!

Enjoy: “Spaß mit Bass” by Kolt Siewerts

Download “Spaß mit Bass”

If you like his style, here you can watch the video to his own smash hit “The flute tune”

Check out Fabric’s page on Soundcloud, they have some nice tunes to give away. I especially like “We Nuh Run”

and the Ralph Lawson mix

It’s the second release on NIG (Nights in Gale) records and I love the record because it’s so diverse: there is a massive techno tune, some very dissected minmal soundscape techhouse thing by Tom Dicicco and a deep dubsteppy remix by David Harrow.

Now, it has gotten some very mentionable mentions from Japan and Italy, good feedback from Timo Maas and Laurent Garnier and, amongst others, charted by Ryan Elliot.

You can listen to Squalid and download it at whatpeopleplay or order it as good old vinyl at Juno

Here is Patrick’s latest mixtape!

You can book Patrick at Confidance booking or just follow him on MySpace or Soundcloud.

In may, I played at the Webinale party and was quite excited because it took place at Week End club on top of Berlin with a brilliant soundsystem and DJ booth. The party was great and everybody danced plus I was lucky to have the mix recorded so here I can present two 30 minutes mixes, one opening house mix and one which is more dubsteppy and in the end loaded with hiphop classics. Enjoy!

A true Stylewalker leans back. And waits and reads all the Michael Jackson posts and remixes and then selects the best for the reader. (the picture ist taken by the brilliant Ralph Uetzelhöffer who does very nice textportraits) Here we go:

LehtMoeJoe’s Beat it remix – in your face!

Bird Petersons Thriller remix – also very funky face

The Hood Internet / Ratatat Remix to Billie Jean – some kind of Roulé feely music sounds better with you’ish floor smoother

And finally a nice mash of “I want you back” with Lil’ Wayne (find more MJ mashs at Kickin Peanuts)

Boyz Noize – Eat it remix -heavy rock disco

Thriller Disco Tech Remix – Prins Tomas space disco style, very close to the original

Louis La Roche Thriller remix – another very compressed, tight floor filler with some fragments and happy moments

Thank you Hype Machine, Popwreckoning, Aimt.us, Chromekids

Spain strikes five against New Zealand, especially 3,4 and 5 are humiliating

Just.blogsport put together a collection of summer mixtapes, which are niiice. Gould’s mixtape starts with Burial, how could I not love it.

Now this is a flowing techhouse smart ass monster which also features some nice melodies and grooves. Highly appreciated on Soundcloud. Listen to it on your hometrainer!

Re:publica will see its year’s issue in April again, the most creative of the big German web conferences mottos itself “Shift happens” this year. I am very much looking forward to some inspiring days with relaxed people who talk rather about fascination of technology than business models.

Here is the official trailer which you can and should REMIX!

Again, this is one rolling, tension building, ongoing deep tech stuff mix by Patrick, with oldschooly detroity sounds, hypnotic organs, dubby shapes and funky plonks. Starts off with his second production, the first release on Nights In Gale “Impress”.

Soulwax actually managed to put 460(!) intros in one mix and while it is a little blood pressure rising, not boring at all. It’s like a big tease, check it out at Nialler9. Krass, was für eine Arbeit.

Another not really great but funny mix is DJ RevoLucian’s remix of the Christian Bale incident which was uploaded feb 2nd and heard 1,3 mio times since then (wow, again)

Haven’t heard about it? Christian Bale freaks out.

Another very intense and powerful mix by multitasking Tanith inspired by the Facebook Group Zeitmaschine in which pictures from 90ies rave culture are being collected (Suchtfaktor!)

At the Webby night, an event to promote the Webby Awards which took place yesterday in Berlin, Eric Wahlforss introduced an amazed crowd to Soundcloud once again, putting it in a logical line with YouTube (video) and Flickr (foto).

Right now, there is a Jazzanova remix contest going on which also demonstrates the power of the Soundcloud API. It’s fascinatingly simple: Download the samples needed, upload the remix track and listen to all other uploads. It’s automatic, baby. And the outcome is of a surprising quality as you can hear for yourself in the widget.

Another very funny presentation about Memes and how they produce a life on their own from the web to the meatspace and back that should not be missed is by Peter aka The Waving Cat.

I would like to recommend this brilliant mix to everyone who.. yeah, well, to everyone! Because it takes the Dubstep thing in such a soulful and smooth way, taking so many different paths, showing so many facets of music which is funky, breaky, dancy, pushy, longing, hands-up, wobbly.. It’s 2Step, it’s dubstep, it’s even a little Goa.. And I am listening to it like the 5th time in a row, so it can’t be bad, really. Enjoy Shiva from (yes) Indianapolis in a mix from a local club, found via @dubstep on Surfacetensionrec.

It’s not the typical noisy toothsayery dubstap massacre what Scuba serves us in another excellent XLR8 podcast but rather a very deep and flirry mix which accelerates veeery slowly and has a curve of tension which is hardly noticeable. Still, this mix contains some energy which is hidden deep in the bass. I love it.

Check out the whole article and the tracklisting.

Ourmusicmixes is a great source for classic, old and new, deep and soulful house music. Tons of mixes are stored there, Chicago deep Stuff, raw classics, in the ultimate haven for all lovers of what started from disco in the 80ies to warehouse stuff in Chicago, to the big house success in the 90ies. From gay clubs in churches, from Lerry Levan, to Mr Vegas, Kerry Chandler, Moodyman, Basement Soul. Thank you so much guys for giving us music that easily could be forgotten!

Here is one very nice and deep mix from Chicago Deep:

Soundcloud has new and exciting sharing features. If allowed by the artist, you can now embed the song not only in your blog (as seen previously on Stylewalker) but also send them directly to Twitter, Facebook and Myspace. Slick. Enjoy another of Ben Mono’s minimixes here:

Many, many tracks did he put together this time. My man Shir Khan managed to find some time for a superb dj mix for the XLR8 podcast series. Quite an output for a man who not only plays shows like a maniac, but also runs the Blog Berlin Battery with lots of exclusive Mp3s and hosts a weekly radio show, “Soundgarden” on Fritz.

The tracklist is exquisite, Shir Khan features almost 80 songs with tracks by Diskokaine, Tomboy, Adamski, Sirius Mo, Plasticman, Malente, Egoexpress, Surkin and many others.

Check out the tracklist for part 1 and listen to it here:
