Okay, we’re on the bandwagon too! We’re liking the new Daft Punk album and opening the show with a track off “Random Access Memories”. I’m sure there will be more tracks and remixes on the show in coming weeks. Also, some more Air off their first album since we’ve had it lying around the studio the last couple of weeks. New music from Classixx (At Doug Fir tomorrow!!) Expensive Looks, Gaudi and more.

Brand new Classixx off their latest release “Hanging Gardens”. They’re opening for Holy Ghost this Friday at Doug Fir and it’s a live band, not a DJ set!! Also music tonight from Expensive Looks, Lane 8, Pale and of course, more Classixx off their new album.

Our 15 year Anniversary Retro Show weekend! Thanks to everyone for your support over the years. It’s been a blast and we’re looking forward to many more years! It was fun going back into the archives and pulling out some of the earlier material we played when we first started. Hope you like it too.

Music tonight from Pacific Air, Cut Copy and Poolside. Brand new remix of Parov Stelar’s “All Night”. He seems to have an unending fascination with the Charleston. Also going back to some older tracks with Mylo, Thievery Corporation and Dzihan & Kamien.
Going back to one of the first tracks we played on air in Portland with The Orb’s “Land of Green Ginger”. Hard to believe that was almost 9 years ago and a total of 15 years of doing the Area54 radio show! We also got nostalgic with an older track from The Strike Boys but of course had to put in some new music from Sola Rosa, Phoenix, Bonobo and much more..

Poolside remixing a Laidback track from 30 years ago and making it sound totally current. Check out the original on Laid Back’s “Keep on Smiling”. I mentioned on the show that they are probably best known for Sunshine Reggae but in the US it was actually the B-side of that record “White Horse” that got them noticed. Also music from Kris Menance, Junki XL, Falty DL and more.
Chad Valley starting things off tonight as well as Underworld off their Barking release. New music from Phoenix with a brilliant remix of “Entertainment” by Blood Orange. More music from Polica, Beach House, Liftoff and tons more..

Jamie Lidell was back in Portland last weekend for a sold-out show at Doug Fir. Great to see him wear his inspector gadget coat again and perform solo with all his musical tricks behind the boards, in front of the stage, with the crowd. It’s scary how much talent he has and it’s fun to see how much more comfortable he is in front of a crowd than years ago when he came to DF for the first time. This weekend we have Polica and OMD at the Wonder Ballroom. Two shows not to be missed.
Music from Bajofondo Tango Club, Mint Royale and Disclosure. New music off the latest Jamie Lidell release. His show later this month at Doug Fir is already sold out. We’re also pulling some older tracks from Morcheeba, Yonderboi and Royksopp.
