So even if it’s a LOW Warbly Distored Bass Drum Kick to hear of Tim’s passing, it is to my excitement, that tapes are starting to surface as they get digitized. These memories encoded in these programs reflect back on fun and personal times of probably everybody’s lives as to what they were doing back in the early ’90s. (smiles)

At the time, I never taped Tim’s shows… I just listened, because I think I passed my ‘taping’ the radio days at that point. It was my arrival to Boston in 1989 to attend Berklee College of Music where I discovered the program, Diego’s ‘Moods For Moderns’ show on WFNX on Sunday Nights. This show started to shed light and just scratch the surface of the burgeoning Techno Music Scene that was about to explode in a big way.

Luckily, Old Boston Techno Head, David McMahon (DJM) captured some of Tim’s finer moments and is the first to have brought some tapes to light.. and to the land of digital, and I’m honored to host these recordings as a piece of Boston Music History.. Tim soooOOOOOoooo helped shape many of our musical paths to the Left of what most would consider ‘normal’ music, but for us.. this became.. our Normal music.

So, Tim, Thank You and even though we have to say good bye today, we can also come back to visit you whenever we’d like, with these recordings. (I hope that we can get more on the server for all to enjoy). Our receivers are still tuned.

the first set to emerge is from the Hard Wired program on WZBC.

SEPTEMBER MIX SESSIONS… are ready for download. Should be up on the DJ Sets Preset over at AOL Radio very soon.

Thanks Again Mr. Spinella.

You can of course fairly easy find my blancocast podcast on the iTunes music store, but, you can also simply subscribe to this url here: http://blancodisco.com/podcast/blancocast.xml

This month’s Part 1 of the September Sessions Feature the Allmighty Breakbeat for the most part. A mix of old funky breaks and some newer Nu School Breaks. Near the end of the hour, I begin to transition over to the housey retro electo disco funk sounds again. Some carry over of Vinyl I didn’t get too from Last Month. I think my favorite mix in this set goes from Fatboy Slim’s Everybody Needs a 303 into Mad Acid by Sanots. F’n On!
Okay, now let’s get to that Tracklist!
