MVE Gives A Run Down of KJHK\u2019s New Electronic Show<\/p>\n
Every Thursday night from 10 PM until midnight, you can catch the latest in electronic music from the UK and Europe on the Rinse Out.\u00a0 My name is Mike Van Esler and I\u2019ll be jumping in the mix on my new show, selecting everything from grime, house, techno, UK Funky, and numerous other genres.\u00a0 I do my best to keep up on the latest releases so, rest assured, only the freshest tunes will be spun.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t mean that classics won\u2019t be present, either, as I think it is important to understand how modern sounds evolved.\u00a0 This is doubly important for music that may not be widely known.<\/p>\n
Along those lines, I will provide brief overviews of specific genres when I feel explanations are warranted.\u00a0 For example, when playing grime, I feel it is important to point out that it is not UK Rap (which is its own thing) due to its lineage.\u00a0 Evolving from jungle (MCs) and UK garage, grime hangs out around 140 BPM and uses quite different instrumentation compared to rap.<\/p>\n
To give you a sense of what sort of stuff will be played, here are some important record labels: Butterz, Hotflush, Night Slugs, Rinse, Boy Better Know, Formula, Harddrive, Swamp81, Numbers, Symbols, and Fade To Mind.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking for audio examples of the sorts of stuff I\u2019ll be playing, feel free to scrub through these two mixes I did recently (the second one includes strong language):<\/p>\n
