Mort Garson - Black Mass (1975)

Moog-madman Mort Garson's occult album. Plenty of synthesized high-weirdness to read your dusty John Dee tomes and Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth zines to.

Search on, man

Best known for his work on Flying Lotus' album 'Cosmogramma', bassist Stephen Bruner's debut 'Golden Age of The Apokalips' has the neo-spacefunk feel of the 70's albums of George Duke, Donald Byrd, and Stanley Clarke mixed with the modern grittiness of thick drums and psychedelic electronics.

Cut Chemist - Sound of the Police (2010)

A live dj set (performed with one turntable and a loop pedal) of Cut Chemist opening for Mulatu Astatke in Ethiopia in 2009. An Ethiopian funk/jazz mix with a handful of other genres spliced in there. My favorite mix from 2010. If you find a tracklist let me know.
