Category: The Incredible Superstring Band

Here are some funky electro-tech party jams from many different eras I put together in the Fall of 2023. 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s all represented. I had a lot of fun with my Roland DJ 202 sequencing a bunch of possibilities while I put together my “crate,” but ultimately mixed it in Sonic Foundry Acid (yeap it still runs). Not a single mashup here, but there are a few very extended blends.

For the second Incredible Superstring Band mix I wanted to continue on the weird trend I’d started with the first one. What better way to get there than opening up with Pantera? And Ministry?? And then flip the whole script at the halfway point by veering off into weird bubblegum techno/gabber/I don’t even know. There are some odd moments in this one. It weirds me out to listen to it now, so I suppose that’s “mission accomplished.”

Here lies the very first ISB mix. Yes, this opens up with the Airwolf theme, doubled in syncopation. From there it just gets weirder. When I adopted the new alias I wanted it to be clear I was ready to do new things. This spirit led me to such strange choices as including the C&C Music Factory remix of New Kids On The Block’s hit “Step by Step.” Which is exactly as horrid as it sounds; I found this horridness delightful in the early summer of 2008 for whatever reason. This mix got a few raucous plays at the sorely-missed SCarey Studios space in West Baltimore that summer.
