If you listen to college radio in the Seattle area there is little chance you have not heard KEXP. The top of the top for everything musically underground as well as any band that matters gets spun across their airwaves. For those out of town they stream extremely successfully on the net and are rated in the top five for college radio streams.

My album "Black LAN" I mixed for the brilliant DJ Michele Myers's Electronic show at the end of last year is #9 in the KEXP Electronica charts right now. If you want to support my radio endeavors please mail KEXP at dj@kexp.org and request one of the following DJ Drunken Master tracks:

"Pillars of Versailles" - (click for mp3 preview)

"Blood Red My Shovel (darklight remix)" - Remix I did for the amazing The Fading Collection (Click for the Weed file)

Both tracks are available as Weed files here

"The Ultimate Matrix Collection (The Matrix / Reloaded / Revolutions / Revisited / The Animatrix) " Due Out December 7th 2004 (DVD)

I am excited about the imminent release of The Matrix Box set next month. I have had such a great time watching the sequels, The Animatrix and the TV specials that I would tend to forget about my involvement and enjoy them for what they are. Kick ass sci-fi. If you have put off checking out the sequels here is your chance to catch up. Well worth the time if you love the Matrix universe.

DJ Drunken Master Track "Chopper Pumps" to be featured in WB retail promotions at Best Buy in April

Warner Brothers will be using my track Chopper Pumps (play lo-fi play hi-fi) in a national Best Buy in store promotion for The Matrix Revolutions (release date is set for 04/06/04). That means if you happen into a Best Buy anywhere in the United States during the promotion you may subjected to Chopper Pumps thumping throughout the store. Hey, while you are there you should pick up The Animatrix, Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions (once it is released) which all feature tracks by yours truly in the bonus materials. (Right click and "save as" to Download your own copy of Chopper Pumps as a Weed file here)

The Matrix Revolutions. Some people love it, some hate it and others still don't quite know what to make of it. No matter what your position on the final Matrix installment I suggest picking up the DVD when it is available and watching the entire set of three films in order to get the full impact of the Wichowski's vision.

In an effort to assist you in your quest regarding all things Matrix I have a little information that may tip the scales if you are on the fence about watching "Revolutions" on DVD when it comes out.

The following DJDM tracks are now licensed to WB for use in the bonus materials for the upcoming DVD release of "The Matrix Revolutions" (Right Click and "Save As" to download your own copy of these tracks as Weed files):

1. Chopper Pumps

2. Selena

3. Pillars of Versailles

4. Butterflyed Eyes

5. Rip It Up, Tear it Down

6. Hot Smack!

7. Here Be Tigers

This puts the total number of unique DJ Drunken Master tracks licensed for the various Matrix productions up to 13 and it is (I hope) one more reason to see what Neo, Trinity, Morpheus & Agent Smith have in store on this final chapter of the trilogy.

"The Matrix Reloaded DVD" and "Matrix Revolutions TV Special"

For those that have asked which presets for Propellerhead's Reason 2.0's Malstrom synth are mine, here they are: DJDM Bass, Electric Yawn, Thunder, Memory Glass, The Sea Is Dying & Step Outside.
