Ruckus Roboticus: Wildly Vivid : On World Cafe/NPR Music

What’s that Ruckus on the radio!??! RUCKUS ROBOTICUS! Whoooa!  How cool is D’AT!

A few years ago I got a call from a very nice DJ named Dan about doing some mastering.  He was kind of cryptic on the details, but was insistent that someone who “got it” work on this thing, so he put me through a brief phone interview before sending me the job, basically a breakbeat DJ disc.  Since I’m a big electronica fan on my own time (and it’s what I last did as a musician), we hit it off and I got the job.

Fast forward 3 years.  Somehow he tracks me down at Sound Images, with a new record, Playing With Scratches.  As soon as I hit play, my head twisted in new directions, via some very old paths.

Dan filled me in on goings-on in the intervening years, including his remix gigs.  But as cool as all that is, national attention for your music is what it’s all about.  It doesn’t get much better than World Cafe, which has shown much love to Cincy artists.  Check out the show at the link above!
