raven – postfolkrocktronica by Peter Hollo

I've done a new DJ mix for Lilly Grainger aka Killian's excellent FBi Radio show M5.
Her show started as an ode to trips down the M5 motorway listening to her Dad's music selections, so she played trip-hop, shoegaze etc.
My mix is mostly '90s-'00s music & a couple of older pieces. It was mixed live with love'n'care.

My usual end-of-year wrap for Utility Fog is to do two or three shows. It's settled on three lately: one show for "vocal" music ("songs", so to speak), one for sound-art and experimental stuff, and one for "beats" ("dance music", if you will).
And I've put the third one together as a DJ mix the last couple of years.

I'm pretty happy with this year's! All beatmixed, harmonically mixed, layered… tempos from house/techno through dubstep/140 to 160 to jungle, d'n'b & even a bit of breakcore.
You'll dig it!

Stream on demand from the FBi website, where I've tagged up the timestamps as close as possible.
If you wanna listen from the comfort of your own listening-device, here's a sneaky download.

Not raven news, but me news.
I started my radio show Utility Fog on Sydney's new community radio station FBi in August 2003. The station turned 20 last week, which makes Utility Fog 20 years old too.

The earliest solo electronic works of mine date way back to 1997, but raven as cello & electronics has not existed as long as UFog has. All the music I've consumed and proselytized on UFog, and all the musical connections I've made, have fed directly into the music I create, whether on cello or laptop, solo or with Tangents, FourPlay, Black Aleph, Haunts etc.

On Sunday just gone I tried to cram those 20 years into 2hrs of radio. I wrote an essay on the playlist too, which can be found here (the standalone Utility Fog blog) and here at FBi's website, and you can listen back at both links too.

Hey, here's a DJ mix I did for Kavil @ Absorb, a Naarm-based internet radio show, label, event and more – check the show out on Skylab Radio, check the brilliant first compilation out on Bandcamp. Huge thanks to Kavil for inviting me!

The mix is called state of my head right now. It's a a "heady" mix of head-nodding beats, sound-art, varieties of experimental song, jungle, noise and more.

If you want to listen to this on your preferred device, hit me up for a high-quality download.
