Richie Anderson began producing acid and techno music in 1992, with releases on obscure hard techno labels such as ‘Kill Out’ and ‘Drop Bass Network’ under various guises.
Richie is also a classical guitarist and his mixes tend towards a wild variety of genres. The Goldarndest Mixtapes aims to pick up from the cassette culture of his youth, stemming from a practice he shares with his friends. Each quarter they produce a physical CD of music matching a given theme, along with corresponding cover art. The interpretation of the theme is wide open.
This month's show's theme was chosen by fellow station host All Trades: Heat. So, the tunes are related to heat and hot, not warmth or fire, they're different beasts. This is heat. And this is manifest in tracks reflective of hot cities. The soundtracks of sweltering nights. From the sounds of 80s electro synth wave to crispy drum and bass... with a little Bossa and Dub Reggae thrown in for good measure.
