http://tmwk.com/lampshade/ecstasy.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadThis is the third Halloween mix by Scholastics, the follow-up to The Shadows Are A Mercy and Lies are Cheaper than Thrills, but departs from the horror disco & synthwave template of those two mixes for a sound that’s a bit noisier.

Like its predecessor, WASA II is half footwork/juke and half other stuff, but everywhere focused on rhythms. Turn on …
http://tmwk.com/lampshade/Marginalia.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download This is the first in a new series of mixes. The general idea is to be a little more free than the Live for the Library series, which turned out to be pretty house-focused. 1. Tafi All Stars – Outside Rhythm 2. Red Axes – Me And Abra …

http://tmwk.com/lampshade/Scholastics-Watershed.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download With Watershed, Scholastics mines the effects left on the universe by late-period Talk Talk. Gorgeous and haunting, this delicately-structured mix is dense with sounds that evoke feelings and ideas that may have been lying dormant. I’m not saying this might make you cry or anything, but, you know. It might …
http://tmwk.com/lampshade/sylvansummerspectre.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download Sylvan Summer Spectre, Moon Cities’ long-awaited proper follow-up to Golden Ghost Forest, has arrived in its proper timing, on the fall equinox.

http://tmwk.com/lampshade/Live-Library-Three.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download A proper tribute to Frankie Knuckles, Live from the Library, Volume 3 starts meditatively and never loosens its grasp on that emotional thread, even while delicately punching its way up to a workout. It’s pure house and pure heart that crescendos into a classic, often leaving you breathless …
http://tmwk.com/lampshade/A+Very+Christmas.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download I’m a man who loves Christmas music. I’m also a hardline no-Christmas-until-after-Thanksgiving seasonal separator. So the few weeks between Christmas and the new year are filled with wall-to-wall Christmas music for me. Over the years, I’ve amassed quite a collection, and I’ve become something of a connoisseur of …
http://tmwk.com/lampshade/Live-Library-One.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download As much as I love doing heavily plotted, extensively planned concept mixes, they take me a pretty long time to do. And I haven’t had as much free time on my hands recently, so I’m starting the Live from the Library series. The concept of this series is …
http://tmwk.com/lampshade/Golden+Ghost+Forest.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download This started as a Halloween mix and transmogrified into more of a Fall-oween mix, it seems. It’s not so much spooky and ghosty (though there is that) as much as it is music for cold, windy nights, full of moonlight and magic. 1. Tim DeLaughter – Pink Trash Dream …
http://tmwk.com/lampshade/lies.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download I started playing this in the car and my two-year-old son said “Scary music!” but when I asked him if he wanted me to turn it off, he said no. Scholastics has put together a little over half an hour of Halloween slasher music that uses synthesizers instead …

http://tmwk.com/lampshade/Chapter-of-Seas-2.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download The second in what has become an ongoing series of collaborative ambient mixes between Scholastics and Moon Cities.

http://tmwk.com/lampshade/WASA.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download I was gonna write a big thing about this, but I think the thing speaks for itself. Dancing about architecture, etc. Three things you need to know: 1. Wakanda is a fictional African country from the Marvel Universe. The mix follows W.A.S.A. from its tribal origins to deep …
http://tmwk.com/lampshade/Scholastics-You_Have_Been_Our_Dwelling_Place.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download This is a mix designed around gospel house music. Although there’s a lot of the wonderful soulful vocal house sound that’s associated with that phrase, it draws from other traditions in house music as well, dipping into 90s deep house and bass-influenced house music. I tried to create …

http://www.tmwk.com/lampshade/The_Elephant_Gambit.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download This is an old (December 2009) collaborative mix from both of us.
