For our final episode of 2007, we pick up where Genji left off last month; with Sacramento's Resynthesize! Nah, we didn't plan it - we're just tapped in like that.

This episode we bring you a set from Genji (Syatic Media, Loud Ass Bastards, Word of Mouth). Originally hailing from Atlanta, Genji has been making music since 1990, and DJing since 2000. In 2002 he bounced to SoCal and then up to the Bay, making appearances alongside RAW, Infiltrada, Mr. Projectile, Boreta, RD, and many others. Current projects include collaborations with Pusher (as Toeknuckle), Audiovoid (as Exact Change), Beytah, Dirt, and more.

We're back with a very special episode from Bay Area composer Ganucheau. A New Orleans native, Matt Ganucheau has been performing electronic music for over 8 years. In 2004 he graduated from the Berklee College of Music with degrees in Film Scoring and Music Synthesis. Since relocating to the Bay to pursue a career in sound design and composition, he has completed three short film scores, a full featured game score, and has had several pieces appear on international compilations. He currently teaches sound design for video games at the Expression College for Digital Arts.

For our first broadcast from our new space (yeah, we moved again), we bring a custom selection from SF Bay Area dj/producer Cumulus (Word of Mouth, Loud Ass Bastards, Syatic Media). Our guest originally hails from Santa Barbara, where he helped run JustUs Productions and their flagship Synaesthesia series, and spent summers throwing full moon parties with Word of Mouth. During this time he developed a reputation for deep, dark, heavy sounds and long, detailed mixes. Playing mostly drum & bass under the moniker Sam I Am*, he also made appearances in Los Angeles, alongside veteran selectors like Dj Dara, Infiltrata, and Reid Speed.

For magic episode 23, we turn the controls over to a self-proclaimed “missionary of music,” Sacramento’s SeventhSwami. Representing the Ambient Mafia, WantIt, and Escape Artists, Swami is the artchetypical DJ as shaman, his mission to “Raise more people’s spiritual awareness through the ecstatic dance experience.”

After intense trilateral negotiations, mk2 has secured the rights to an exclusive advance broadcast of the first installment in the GhettoBox Sessions mix series, featuring our own djSpaceInvader. Recorded at the GhettoBox on San Francisco's scenic Capp St, this dark and dutty transmission features many of our 8-bit villain's own edits, bashups, and refixes. For best results, play extremely loud. Preferably in a poorly ventilated warehouse. memekast mk022 » 23 August 2007 » dj_spaceInvader Dan Mangan - Little Snitch (Kraddy's Cash Rules Everything Around Me mix) Ce'Cile - Hot Like We vs. Crunch - Crookid Audiovoid - Body Rock Modeselektor ft.

While all the cool kids were at Priceless, MK2 has been hard at work preparing episode 21, where we introduce our newest resident, San Francisco's Mino. Originally hailing from Rhode Island, where he founded EMA and was a resident with Venom's now 13-year strong Volume Productions, Mino now holds residencies in SF with Word of Mouth, The Extra Credit, and, we're proud to announce, MK2 Reality Enhancement Systems. By way of introduction, Mino brings us a glitchy blend of beauty and bass, moving between IDM, downtempo, and hip-hop like it ain't no thang. memekast mk021 » 22 July 2007 » Mino Welder - Rain Lusine - Still Frame (Lusine Remix) Vinylminds - Vinylminds Yasume - Rengoku (Deru Mix) Sevenark - Composite Brimstone 127 - Espionage Revolution Void - Shufflectro The Nothing - The Face Under The Stone The Orb - Aftermath (Featuring MC Soom T) Upcoming Events: 8.03.07–08.05.07 Field Day 2 8.18.07 Word of Mouth TBD Below Zero on 92.7 FM Links The Extra Credit Word of Mouth

This episode's guest, SatsiSonik, has put in ten solid years in the San Francisco underground and Burning Man communities. As a VJ, he has held down a ton of residencies with the likes of Wicked, Dimension 7, Raindance, Get Freaky!, Slide, Stimulus, and Symbiosis. He has recently begun to focus more on music, both in the studio and on the mic as an MC with the Lawgiverz, Audiovoid, Neptune, Evinrude, Laird, and others. He currently has DJ residencies with Lush and Stimulus, as well as having formed his own crew called AMMO (Advanced MultiMedia Operatives), which focuses on music, film, and live event production. For episode 20, he lays down 5 original tracks, with a little Modeselektor thrown in for good measure... memekast mk020 » 10 July 2007 » SatsiSonik Father's Day - 2001 Still in the Clouds w/Metrognome feat Lux Dakota - 2006 Castle Funk - 2005 Lily Rx - 2006 Electro Boogaloo - 2007 Modeselektor - Silikon feat Sasha Perera , Siriusmo Remix 2006 Upcoming Events: 7.20.07–7.22.07

OK, it seems like everyone is done having the flu and hard drive crashes and blue screens of death, so we're gonna get you guys all caught up. We sincerely apologize for holding out, and promise to work on improving our defenses against future biological and data attacks. For episode 19, we dove into all that chaos and emerged with this gem by San Francisco's Kitty-D. Through deadly viral attack, constant performances in and out of the Bay Area, and near-catastrophic equipment failure, Kitty-D managed to find time to mix down a multi-track live improv session of his own original tracks, remixes, and collaborations. Most well known for his involvement in the Glitch Mob, Kitty-D has also been hard at work on collaborations with Random Rab (as Flowers of Wraith), Ooah (The Seedling Escape), and Goldilox (Goldilox+Kitty-D). The Seedling Escape's Photosynthesis mix is available now at Fake Science, with appearances by Random Rab, LayerZ (aka Audiovoid), and Epcot. memekast mk019 » 19 June 2007 » Kitty-D Whe

Welder is a new addition to the West Coast. While he is also known for works released as Eskmo, which focus on a heavy, dance floor oriented sound, Welder represents his more melodic and subtle downtempo side. His debut LP Vines and Stream was released by Cyberset (SF) at the end of 2006 and has since been working in the studio on original works as well as collaborations with Rena Jones, Brian Seed, and Minus Music (featuring Knick from Evol Intent) to name a few. A couple reviews from Vines and Stream... "Vines frequently delights through its heavily melodic instrumentals hosting considerable atmospheres and wide sound palettes... oozing with melodic content." - Barcode Magazine "Request it, listen to it, then buy it - you won't be disappointed." - Lounging Sound For the memekast Welder has put together a set of 6 songs from the album and has added live keys, cuts and vocal tweeking to the mix. memekast mk018 » 15 May 2007 » Welder isle of skye purple and orange distance ants are small find yo

MK2 resident selector Niles comes correct as FUCK this episode with 30 minutes of absolutely relentless electro. Don't be skerd, it will only hurt a little. You definitely want to make sure the volume and bass are crunk way up for this one.

In our continuing efforts to prop suspected leaders of the mediocrity resistance movement, this installment we bring you a transmission from Neuronaut. According to our intelligence reports, Neuronaut, a Cambridge UK-born solo agent currently operating from San Francisco "explores a wide gamut of possible stimulation to the auditory nodes through ambient, down-tempo, breaks, glitch, and dubstep musical modalities." He is also known to have co-founded at least one splinter group of notable influence, a key provider of material support known as Addictech. In addition to a fully deployable 20,000 watt sound system, this highly active cell's assets also include a staggering cache of sonic materiel available as digital downloads, vinyl, and CDs; as well as a new label whose agent roster includes Neuronaut, Future Funk Squad, SOTEG, Lawgiverz, and Habersham. For MK016 he has prepared an exclusive set of 5 original, as-yet unreleased tracks. You might feel a slight tingling in the brain as the patterns install the

Welcome back, and thanks for listening! Resident selector dj_spaceinvader takes the controls for this episode, and delivers 11 tracks of dirty, nasty, weird-ass glitchy shit. Some of it will make you wanna dance, some of it will make you stare and drool. It's all part of his plan. You can catch dj_spaceinvader at Equity on April 11, along with Adam Ohana.

Laaaaawdamercy... Anyone who describes her own sound as "glitched out, sexed up, low freq, hyphy, bassy, krunked strip-hop" is probably my kind of dj. So i went after Mob Bostress Ana Sia for a mix, and hot damn did she deliver. After barely over a year behind the decks, Ana is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with. Frequently appearing alongside her boys, California's notorious Glitch Mob, she has recently been dropping the bottom out of such venues as Element NYC, 1015 Folsom, the XenoDrome, Retox Lounge, Supperclub, and various underground spots on and off the playa. For the memekast, she drops eleven tracks of deep, sexy, bass-heavy glitch-hop and grime, including a spankin' new original track to get things rolling. And when i say deep, i mean deep. memekast mk014 » 15 March 2007 » Ana Sia potential influential PRO-JECT :: a/sia DIZZEE REMIX :: boreta DRAVIDIAN CLAP :: wazulu the ill dravidian JUNO RHAPSODAY :: tom burbank POP THE GLOCK (curtis vodka remix) :: uffie ATTRACTOR BEAM :: lux AIRH

Since relocating from Cape Town, South Africa in 1994, San Francisco's Dov has kept busy throwing events, distributing records, developing labels, producing tracks, Djing around the Bay, the US, EU, and South Africa.. uh let's see... bringing all those UK breaks labels into California back in the 90's (Fuel, Botchit, Mechanoise...), running the first (and several subsequent) breaks weeklies in SF, finding Kraddy and Kemek and putting out their first records, along with releases from E.V.A.C., Future Funk Squad, An*ten*nae, Audiovoid, and a bunch more on his own label, Muti Music. Muti was started in 2002, and has been steadily uncovering and publishing emerging artists from California and the UK, with releases ranging from tough UK-style breaks and hard electro to dark, minimal dubstep and heavy midtempo bangers. Dov drops an exclusive mix on us this month, seven tracks of funky, heavy electro and breaks. This is late at night, covered in sweat, pushing through bodies so you can find the sweet spot on the

Aw, happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Here's a nasty, heavy, twisted as fuck electro/ glitch/ breaks/ techno bludgeon to celebrate the occasion, courtesy of San Francisco's Audiovoid. Representing Muti Music and MDEX, Audiovoid has been practicing his dark, funky brand of mind control since 1998, both under the Audiovoid moniker and as LayerZ. His most recent full length release is called Whispers from Shadowz, and is available online only, from Fake Science. His last CD, Disconnect Yourself, is on MDEX and can be purchased from the MDEX shop or as a digital release on Beatport and iTunes. He also has a ton of tracks available from Addictech, with more being added. For our twelfth episode he subjects us to 9 original tracks, two of which are previously unreleased, all of which are nasty. Get ready to take it right in the earhole.

It's that time again! Which reminds me... we're rolling out a new feature this month. It's a little something we refer to affectionately as "twice as many episodes." Starting... NOW! We will be releasing a new episode every two weeks. Now, i know what you're saying. "Twice as much memekast? Won't that like... rip a hole in the universe or something?" And it might. I, for one, am willing to take that risk. To mark the occasion, i contacted a very skilled agent, and founder of one of our favorite corporate allies, benchun of False Profit, LLC. For those who don't know, False Profit hit San Francisco in 2000 like a 7.5, with a relentless series of aftershocks at their corporate headquarters at 43 Norfolk lasting five years. During that time, benchun held down a two-year run of Wednesday's at Wish (with Halon of Fake Science), later called Samurai Soundsystem (with Joe Encarnacion of BFamily Records). He started FP's monthly Dividend events at 26Mix, later moving them to Nickie's in the Lower Haight. Dividen

Happy New Year! I know it's been a while but the memekast is officially back in action (don't call it a comeback). We're on a new host, we got a new site, and there's a whole bunch in store for 2007 (big tings a gwan). Like a ton of guests that have been waiting patiently while we sorted out the troubles. To kick off the new year, MK2 is very proud to present San Francisco's Djeeno (Word of Mouth, Infinite Kaos), who i personally have been looking forward to having on for a while. Originally from Santa Barbara, Djeeno has been a resident with Word of Mouth since their first event in 1999, and has continued his involvement with them both on their home turf and here in the Bay as they've expanded northward. Since relocating to SF in 2000 he's also been deeply involved with Infinite Kaos and Opel/Opulent Temple, twistin' heads on and off the playa with his tripped out arrangements and basslines that i'm pretty sure he poured out of a meteorite. For our tenth episode, he brings us an eclectic mix of glitchy, h

Ok, we're gonna be behind for a few episodes, please bear with us. Nuff drama, some positive tings, some challenges. Continued technical difficulties have kept Adegen out of the rotation again - we're starting to feel like chumps saying "next month" every month, so we're just gonna keep you in suspense and bring it when we bring it. But this month's big announcement is a recent personnel acquisition. Joining our audio mind control unit in San Francisco is Niles, a skilled vinyl media technician who was a founding member of Love Street Productions, throwing warehouse and desert parties in Phoenix, Arizona. He comes to the decks for this episode with a long player for the haters - 50 minutes of dancefloor destroyers inna dubby new-school style. Like mom used to make.

Better late than never, right? Well we at least have a somewhat decent excuse: MK2 was straight up gentrified out of our beloved Nob Valley headquarters in SF (that's a real estate joke, for those outside "The City" — true story though). It was a Russian Mafiya job, complete with structural sabotage, cut telephone/internet lines, and a game of good cop / bad cop (but with Russian gangsters instead of cops). Anyway, we're in a temporary space while we sort it all out (in the Avenues, surrounded by Russians, as luck would have it), and... here's a mix from dj_SpaceInvader, hope you get it in time for the drive... memekast mk008 » August 2006 » dj_SpaceInvader 1.
