Recommended Listening

Working at a record shop, you hear a lot of people recommend this, that or the other thing. After a while, it seems just too damn hard to keep up with what other people think you should be listening to. But then you'll hear something that reminds you why you should pay attention to what the cool kids are telling you. The mixes found on this soundcloud account are examples of just that- great recommendations I blew off for far too long.

(narrated by John Sinclair)

I've never been able to figure out based on descriptions alone whether or not i would like something before hearing or seeing it. so what I'm trying to figure out is what it is that ties together my favorite shit from all corners of the world. this volume comes closer to an answer using deductive reasoning, and concludes that it isn't cops.

Experimental Breakfast

If you live in SF, and you've never been to an art gallery on a sunday morning where people dress up in strange costumes, serve shitty vegan pancakes and waffles, and make experimental noise music, then I suggest you live a little and experience this spectacle before the man takes it away from you.

Four Tet Fabriclive 59

Details on the newest edition of the Fabriclive series have been released. Aside from a sweet album cover featuring Kieren Hebden wearing his own Trout Mask Replica, expect some new originals and a few killer remixes. Read about it and check out the track listing on Resident Advisor.

Modular preps "Since I Left You" reissue

No concrete details have arisen from the rumor mill about the Avalanches highly anticipated follow up to 2001's Since I left You - their first and only full length album -- but based on the status of their website, which has recently been revamped after years of inactivity, and a recent interview with their Label boss, Stephen Pavlovic, it's looking like the new album may actually see the light of day in late 2011 or early 2012... but, then again, we've been duped before... Fortunately, the good people at Modular Records have announced that the label is prepping a special 2-disc deluxe reissue to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the landmark debut album. While no release date has been set, they have given us a list of awesome things to expect: Unreleased early B-sides and demo tracks, remixes from El Guincho, MF Doom, Black Dice, and Jackson and his Computer Band, along with Avalanches remixes of other artists, and more. While you wait, here's an older remix of the title track from StereoLab!

Micromix 13 - Rewind (it's been a while)

So, you may have noticed that we've been on hiatus for a while. We haven't been completely unproductive though -- Our internet radio show on KSFS just finished it's second season and was nominated for best original program in the SF State Broadcasting Dept. If you dig minimal techno, electronica, and house music, give it a listen. We'll also be releasing some podcasts in the near future that are full of new electronica, so don't you worry. In the mean-time, here's a bit of an eclectic catch-up mix of tunes we like, just to let you know we aren't dead. It works good for late night/early morning type listening, but I'm not your dad. Do what you want.
-PhysicsEngine

change of plans

The Physics Engine webspace will be changing a bit. Now that we're doing the radio show less frequently there has not been too much to report, but I can't let the blog go to waste so the content is going to shift toward the exploits of the Physics Engine musical collective -- aka "Physics Engine the band," which consists of anybody and everybody, and "Dojo Lion" which consists of Dan, Ramin, and Myself. Of course we'll also highlight musical adventures from all our friends too. I've added more like-minded collaborators to the mix, so expect more silly posts and musical discoveries that go beyond the realm of electronica. I know this is a big step, but I think it will be good for us.
Sinceriously,
-Jon
