Brush after every meal and listen to Chris Hyde at Milk every Friday.

I love the cover for this tape and I’m guessing it’s a Fresh Jive design. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Warp Records – Warp20 (1989-2009)
Apr 14th
Since its birth as a shop and record label in Sheffield in 1989, Warp has become one of the World’s most respected creative organisations. Quickly developing into a platform for innovative and boundary-breaking music talent, Warp became synonymous with such artists as LFO, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada and most recently Grizzly Bear, Battles and Maximo Park. Running parallel to the music is an equally strong visual identity, famously established through partnerships with graphic design iconoclasts The Designer’s Republic and video auteur Chris Cunningham, placing Warp alongside legendary labels like Factory in British cultural history.
Warp wants you to create the definitive Warp compilation by voting for your favorite ever released by the label. Your top 10 (by different artists) will combine with Warp’s top 10 to make this compilation for release in Autumn of 2009. You can leave personal messages and notes about memories your favorites hold and the best will be printed in the album art. Just click on the chart listed above and cast your votes.

Jason Bentley – October 1992
Apr 14th
This mixed tape by Jason Bentley is from October of 1992.
Jason Bentley has been an important part of the Los Angeles music scene ever since his early days at college radio station KXLU, hosting the ‘Illicit Groove’ as DJ Sonic, and he remains so today as the Music Director for KCRW.
I wish I could have made it to the KCRW Radioactive party this past weekend but timing and distance were working against me. Did anyone reading make it? How was the music?
