Ever wondered what a rave in the heart of Rapture would be like? Or what the radio would sound like if they had LSD in the big band era of the 1940's? Because that's pretty what this mix is created from; the backwards twisted step-child of classical dance music. For their very first mix for this blog, the producing/DJing group Epic Starship (a sly tongue-in-cheek name for an electronic group, I'm assuming) have strung together an elaborate collage of miscellaneous slammers and rhythm structures that seem to sync together with the styles of producers like Giraffage, Gold Panda, and perhaps Chloe Martini if she was a little heavier and more oriented towards a two-step.
The infamous Haywood (along with his partners Jason Klein & David Bristol) has shown a side of psycadelic electronic music that's hard to pin down; it's very trip-hop leaning, while also showing small fluctuations of break-beat, while having this whole old-school vibe laid over the whole thing very smoothly. So fuck, I guess I don't know what the fuck to call this; either way it's a really trill mix, which I'm sure you will all enjoy :)
