I don't know where you are in the world or what time of day you are listening to this show but right now, for me, it is a rainy Saturday afternoon in San Diego.

It doesn't rain often in San Diego but it's perfect because it fits my mood and my mood is a foul mood. No particular reason for it. Just the usual hassle of dealing with a quotidian life. But putting today's show put me in a better mood.

You know, usually I have to wade through a lot of crap to find tracks that I think…

Once a month on solipsistic NATION I showcase a label that is putting out such amazing music that I am compelled to share that music with you.

On today's show we're going to listen to select tracks from artists on Bak$hish Music. Bak$hish Music isn't so much a label as a collective of like-minded artists modeled after Hakim Bey's Temporary Autonomous Zone (the socio-political tactic of creating temporary spaces that elude formal structures of control).

Bak$hish Music first popped up on my radar when they were kind enough to send me Cloucycle's Cumulus album (a project by…

Today on solipsistic NATION I’m providing the soundtrack for your Halloween.

Whether your getting dressed to go out to that Halloween party or whether your staying in watching scary movies or giving out candy to trick or treaters, I think I’ve got something for everyone on today’s show.

If you’re new to solipsistic NATION: welcome. A big hello to all of you coming our way by way of Alterati.

Each show on solipsistic NATION is different. The only consistent theme is that I play the very best of all genres of electronic music.

Last week’s Magicore show was…

Today's show featuring music selected by the rad lads from the Magicore music blog is so much fun!

For the last year or so I've been friends with on Twitter. has always had great things to say and posted links to some wonderful links. A lot of links happened to be from his Magicore blog so I subscribed to his feed and was richly rewarded.

What is Magicore? Magicore is "a style of music primarily deriving influence from various genres of metal, electronic dance music, video-game music, and Japanese pop music. Magicore albums are conceptual in nature and revolve…

Today's show was actually supposed to be a mix for Macedonia's Both Sides of the Surface podcast. I had Macedonia on the show a couple years ago and he wanted to return the favor and have me on as a guest DJ on his show.

I say "supposed" because this week I've been running ragged. Between starting a new job and helping a friend move I simply didn't have the time or energy to put together a mix for this week's show. But I did have the mix I had put together for Macedonia just waiting to be used.…

As you may or may no know, once a month on solipsistic NATION I showcase a music label that is putting out such amazing releases that I feel compelled to grab you by the ear and play music from their catalogue. I've been doing solipsistic NATION for over four years so I've managed to feature a god chunk of the music labels I love and while there are plenty of labels I want to tackle I'm starting to see the horizon. I'm only one person and as diverse as my taste and knowledge of music is there is a…

Last month solipsistic NATION broke all previous records for downloaded shows! That's due in large part to the guests I've had on the show during September such as Decibel Festival's founder Sean Horton, Mad EP, Ektoplazm and Enduser.

If you're new to solipsistic NATION let me welcome you aboard.

On solipsistic NATION I feature the very best of all genres of electronic music. Dubstep, techno, drum and bass, whatever the genre is, as long as the music is slamming, I'll play it.

solipsistic NATION also features interview with musicians, record labels, festival organizers-basically…

solipsistic NATION studios are located in beautiful San Diego but today I wish I was in Seattle so I could be at this years Decibel Festival. The Decibel Festival has been taking place in Seattle since 2003 and this year's festival features legends like Carl Craig and newcomers like Mux Mool. But if I can't go to the Decibel Festival I'll bring the festival to me and have Decibel's founder Sean Horton as a guest on today's show to give us a tour of this year's festival.

On today's show I'll also keep my experimental electronic music street cred…

Today's show was many months in the making!

Mad EP has been on solipsistic NATION several times in the past. Mad EP delivered a live set back in May and was on the show with O'Slick last September. During that time Mad EP and I have talked abut him coming on the show with a mix of his music. In fact, a few months ago he sent me a mix. I was game to play it but then Hecq came on solipsistic NATION with his mix and it occurred to both Mad EP and me that his mix, while…

From time to time I'll ask listeners on Twitter and Facebook which labels I should showcase on solipsistic NATION and time and time again people have demanded that I do a feature on Ektoplazm, a psytrance netlabel. Amazingly enough, this is the first all-psytrance show on solipsistic NATION. In fact, I've played next to no psytrance on solipsistic NATION.

The reason is simple. I'm not a fan of psytrance. Just about every psytrance track I've heard sounds like every psytrance track I've heard. But when I think about it, you could say that about just about every…
