solipsistic NATION No. 277: I Am Electro
On today’s show our guest is Nathan Phelan, host of The Electro Show. As the producer of solipsistic NATION I rarely have time to listen to other music podcasts. There simply isn’t enough hours in the day so there are only a handful of them. Macedonia’s Both Sides of the Surface is one. There’s also Mikel OD’s Most People Are DJs podcast and the Spartacus Roosevelt podcast and definitely the Headphone Commute podcast. But I barely have enough time... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 274: Magicore Voltron Mega Mix
On today’s show we’re going to experience the Voltron Mega Mix lovingly put together by [tlr], tooth_eye, A Beautiful Lotus, Johan Ess and Joshua Decker to celebrate Magicore‘s two year anniversary. You remember Magicore, don’t you? They only put together one of my favorite editions of solipsistic NATION evah! Only this time they’re mix is darker, sinister, heavier and far more dangerous. But don’t worry, it’s still just as fun! “And... Read More

solipsistic NATION No. 269: Tainted
One of my resolutions for 2012 is to infect as many people as I can with the meta virus that is solipsistic NATION to as many people as possible. When I first concocted solipsistic NATION I had no idea how far the contagion would spread. While solipsistic NATION features the best of all genres of electronic music it is a specialized format that will only infect those who are susceptible to that particular virulent strain. Furthermore, solipsistic NATION uses podcasts as a delivery... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 265: Artoffact Records
Artoffact Records is a Canadian label based in Toronto that has released over 100 industrial, synthpop, rock, and metal albums since the label was founded in 1999. I listen to a lot of music but when it’s a release from Artoffact, I take notice because it’s bound to be great. Some of my personal faves have been Alice in Videoland, Massiv in Mensch, and, more recently, Saltillo. Artoffact consistently releases such great music that it’s a crime I have showcased...

solipsistic NATION No. 254: Polyfuse, Live
Today’s show goes out to all you Burners out there. I was hoping to make the pilgrimage to Burning Man this year but it wasn’t meant to be, so, I’m there in spirit instead with a live set from Polyfuse recorded at Reggie’s Rock Club in Chicago, July 6th, 2011. I’ve only just met Justin and I know precious little about him, and his website is frustratingly vague, which is just the way Justin likes it. But we’ll pull back the layers of mystery... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 237: Hecate
I’m still astonished how quickly this week’s show came together. And what a great show it is! Hey, I’m like you. I’ve got a job, I’ve got a life. I’m a busy guy. But I’ve got a to-do list as long as my arm and every day I chip away at it. A quick email here, a phone call here, and slowly but surely things get done. But when I’m in this mode I don’t often see the forest for the trees. Or is it the trees for the forest? I can... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 235: Polis
Today’s show is a soundtrack for an imaginary movie set in an imaginary city. Think Bladerunner‘s LA meets William Gibson‘s Sprawl meets Tron: Legacy. Our first track is “Community” by PVT from their Church With No Magic album released by Warp Records. In my movie, PVT’s “Community” would be the music that you’d hear at the beginning of the movie when all the production companies display their logos and “Community”... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 228: Sinistar
It’s a dark, rainy night here in San Diego and that’s providing the inspiration for today’s show. Me? I’m providing the soundtrack for tonight’s perilous precipitation. A dark, rainy night. That could go many ways, right? A brooding, introspective mix might be appropriate. Or maybe something light and playful, suggesting the cleansing nature of rain. But no, in this case it’s a rain that might have fallen on that megatropolis that was Los Angeles... Read More
