CiTR -- copy/paste

spooky bangers and vintage scares... have a listen, if you dare

episode 181, a palindromic episode. clairvoyance through symmetry. capturing the spirit in the air. seeing into the future...

the air in vancouver hits different. iunno why, it's just different. Anyway, here's a mix of tunes I haven't had a chance to play out in Montreal. Recorded live from CiTR studios on unceded musqueam territory, aka vancouver.

Since moving to montreal, my life has changed pretty drastically. And with that change, as with any, old routines are discarded and new ones created. It's a gratifying process, one which allows you to re-evaluate why exactly you do the things you do. Recently, over the christmas holidays, I got a waterproof bluetooth speaker that I've been using a lot more than I expected. One of those uses is to bring it in the shower with me, something I never anticipated but have grown to truly love. It's an environment with new musical possibilities, and yet is so narrowly specific in mood. And so, for my first episode of copy/paste in my new home, I bring to you music for showers. Originally recorded live on n10.as radio in montreal.

my ***final mix*** of copy/paste hosted at the inimitable CiTR studios. This one is wild, weird, and fun. Everything dance music should be. It’s been a wonderful 4 years, and now it’s time to move on. BUT! copy/paste is not ending, we’ll take a brief hiatus during August and start back up again in my new home of Montreal in September. If you need some of that copy/paste vibe music in your life before then, the podcast has all 172 episodes ready and waiting to stream, and I hear they're pretty good. Farewell for now, Vancouver.

whoaaaa we're coming full circle here on copy/paste... for my final guest episode of copy/paste from CiTR studios* I brought a CiTR legend back in, one who I met in my first year at CiTR and has left a significant mark on the station, djb aka dj bee aka brad winter! In this episode we catch up to what he's been doing (spoiler: his new collaborative music project, hexen, is the first track in the mix), and then blesses us with a 100% vinyl mix spanning genres, decades, and worldly locales. Who else can play ambient drone, full on summer disco, and jersey club all in the same mix, all hot on wax? Drop into the mix, and make sure you keep an eye on the hexen bandcamp for forthcoming witchy releases: http://hexenhexen.bandcamp.com

well, it's about time for the annual copy/paste summer mix. I just picked up a bag of new records, 5 of which you'll hear in this mix, including a couple vinyl exclusives. And the rest? The rest are great too. Feel good music for a feel bad world. Good for dancing, good for relaxing. Mix a lil drink to match, why don't ya?file under: disco, funk, pop, house

legendary CiTR dj and co-host of Crimes and Treasons, Homeboy Jules blesses the copy/paste podcast with a mix almost entirely composed of unreleased loosies and exclusive originals... an absolute rarity of a mix, packed so deep it'll turn into diamonds in a handful of years. Don't sleep!!

beach season is right around the corner, so if you're planning on hitting the gym for the first time since january, this mix will get you up and going and smashing those personal bests. WORK IT PUMP IT !

I found this episode while digging through the archives of copy/paste, deep down in the lower radio frequencies. It was recorded, but never got added to the podcast and just languished in the cold metal plates of CiTR's hard disks... until now. It's got some real gems in it and it's mixed real nice, so it's time to unearth this one and send it out into the world to shine. file under: techno, breaks, jungle, footwork

I been sitting on a bunch of tracks that didn't really fit into anything lately on copy/paste, the leftovers. But just like how some leftovers taste better after giving em the once over in the microwave, these tracks are still hot, so I hit reheat and mixed em in with some brand new stuff too. New new from Littlebabyangel, Uniiqu3, Bhura, and El-P. File under: rap, hip hop, club, jersey, rnb, sleaze

we're takin a trip across the pond to the uuunited kingdom, to an apartment building in east london, to a high up floor, to the flat party where you'll hear this mix. uk sounds, from the streets of london to the treetops of the pnw, tracing the origins of a worldwide influence.file under: grime, rap, uk garage, breaks, rave, jungle

It's allergy season, but this time spring comes with a new compilation by Allergy Season the label, and the Discwoman collective. Yes, we've been blessed with Physically Sick 2, a 44-track follow up to last year's Physically Sick comp. I play a bunch of tracks from PS2, as well as a few other new ones that fit the vibe. If you like the tunes, definitely go cop the compilation over at: http://physicallysick2.bandcamp.com . it's pay-what-you-want but all proceeds go to the Brooklyn Community Bail Fund, an organization that bails people out of jail that are victims of discrimination in policing. kick them a few bucks!

I guess it doesn't really matter, the tracks are all wonderful. But I think this is the first time I've done a full episode of just breakbeats. so, uh, enjoy this rare moment. It's a dope mix.file under: breaks, breakbeat

I been out of the studio for a few weeks, so I thought I'd come back with a classic copy/paste mix, the kind that just perfectly wraps up the vibe of this Thursday-nights-at-11 vibe. Lotsa 4 on the floor, lotsa fun melodies, a nice comfortable cruise that starts vibey and builds nicely. hmu on twitter if you're feelin it @AKAautonomy .file under: house, deep, ghetto, acid, bass, techno, copy/paste

Andrew from the n10.as radio show Profane Trust comes thru the studio, and after we watch a live stream of a barbed wire cage match, he blesses CiTR HQ with a moody guest mix that hits you in the feels like no wires barbed can.

Smash that play for the exclusives, only on copy/paste!!file under: synthwave, ebm, postpunk, electro, guest mix

episode 150! a minor achievement, to be sure. I had a real high energy set lined up to really bring home that sesquicentennial feeling, but honestly it was a long day, and I just wasn't feeling up to it. It didn't feel right, and if there's one thing I've learned over the past 150 episodes, it's that you really do have to trust the feeling. Forcing the sound, forcing the mix, forcing your mind really come through, you can hear it! And listeners, you deserve better than that. So instead, with 45 minutes to showtime, I scrapped the whole setlist and instead came up with this: a suitably intimate, low key mix that will snuggle up to your mind and warm your soul. the way only copy/paste does. enjoy.file under: deep house, experimental, mood music, low vibe, sesquicentennial

I been eying this one Paul Johnson record on discogs for months, waiting to pull the trigger, but never quite getting there. this past wknd, deep in a crate at a record fair across the city, my patience (frugality?) is rewarded with a copy calling out my name. it's track 1 in this (almost) entirely vinyl mix, hope you like it as much as I do.
