Pink Stallone CCC Podcast

Although I’ve never truly met William Rauscher, I’ve probably been in the same room as him at least over 20 times and quite possibly in 3 different countries. What I know of William is that he not only does a fantastic job of covering releases and parties for Resident Advisor, but also manages to produce under Night Plane, AND now partakes in a multifaceted outfit called CCC. I recommend checking all of these things out.

CCC asked me to submit a podcast a while back, and now that it’s out and about, here’s the link: http://ccceditions.com/blog/2012/01/04/ccc-podcast-02-pink-stallone/

Apart from the thoughts I shared with William that are cited, I’d add this… The way I like to approach a request for a podcast or a mix or even a live dj set has everything to do with what I’m experiencing and of course, what I’m listening to. Other than that, It’s hard to be super preemptive about much, for one, because I only use my own vinyl selection and because I record these sets live&uncut on hi fi speakers in my dining room. But naturally, I prefer the limitations. Grab a record from the shelf on some intuition, mix it in. Make it happen.

In the case of this CCC podcast, it was a nice opportunity to explore some of the more minimal percussive house stuff in my collection. Alot of one note bass stabs and shaker burns. In the end, I realized where a lot of those records had come from, and wildly enough it shares strong relevance with vocals from one of the mix tracks (see the CCC link for that story). That’s just a nice’n deep spiritual added bonus, and that’s what makes just letting it happen raw totally worth it.
