DOWNLOAD THE SOUND OF '12 MIXES - EXCITING NEW MUSIC FROM THE PAST 12 MONTHS

Even in spite of the mind-wasting garbage in the mainstream ... 2012 has actually been a fantastic year for real new music!  In March, I started The Sound Of Now on OX105FM in Oxford, which was a new experience for me. Rather than focus on strictly hip hop/ R&B/ 'urban', I started to showcase what I considered to be good new music from across different genres - soulful house, garage, bassline, D&B, as well as the underground hip-hop stuff. 

It's been hugely encouraging to see so many great tunes still being made, and I'm genuinely inspired by all this stuff. Being open-minded sure pays off. So this year I'm officially retiring my year-end Bangers series to offer two The Sound Of '12 mixes, highlighting my favourite sounds from the past months of the show. Listen without prejudice for two interesting, inspiring and rewarding audio journeys. (Sadly, the automated Gestapo at Soundcloud objected to the algorithms on one of the tracks, hence Mixcloud. But below are the Mediafire links to be able to download them, meanwhile, as Mixcloud doesn't seem to have caught up with that concept yet.)

Mix 1 (Hip hop to D&B):

MD GUESTS ON PLANET X, RADIO CITY TALK, LIVERPOOL. 11/11/12

Here's the downloadable audio of my guest spot on Planet X last month, on Liverpool's Radio City Talk. Here we really go in on the various manipulations and mind control techniques employed by the mainstream music industry, and how the game's noticeably been getting stepped up.

Topics covered include the MK Ultra mind control of artists, the real reason behind the proliferation of Autotune, non-resonant recording frequencies, satanic symbolism in videos and stage shows, and the suggestion that the music industry sacrifices its own artists in covert occult rituals.

The show, hosted by Neal Atkinson, is weekly, and is great stuff, addressing all kinds of alternative and suppressed subjects that the mainstream media rarely goes near. Catch it at http://www.planetxlive.co.uk/

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST VOL. 7: LONG LASTIN'

The newest instalment in the Good Vibrations podcast series is imminent, going into some very different areas of the music industry's occult practices and control over its artists ... hold tight! In the meantime, here's another chance to catch the previous volume:

Long Lastin' is a London-born veteran hip-hop and reggae producer, who also spent time working in Bristol. Always an alternative thinker, several years ago his spiritual side kicked in, and more recently, his raised consciousness allowed him to see through the deceptive veil of the mainstream music industry.

In this instalment, he talks to Mark Devlin for over an hour of his experiences, observations and outlooks on the industry's manipulative techniques. He also touches on wider aspects of its occult agenda, and how it feeds into other aspects of life and reality. More no-holds-barred conversation for grown-up people who aren't afraid to think for themselves!
