Episode 23 of 2 Hours of Love featured not only an all vinyl set by Dallas’ premiere DJ/Dentist, Brian Bishop, but also an impromptu TB 303/drum machine/vinyl jam with the members of the TechnoSports crew. Brian’s set showcased some really amazing records (including a rare flexi disc) spanning from DMX Krew to Unit Moebius to just plain old rare jams to which we here at TechnoSports are unsuccessfully struggling to attach some sort of genre label. All in all, it was an eclectic, interactive, educational and fun episode of 2 Hours of Love. Enjoy!

Episode 21 of 2HOL featured a guest DJ set by Shane English of Corporate Park. In a set that he described as the sum of his influences for Corporate Park, Shane played an all vinyl set that covered a wide range of dark and experimental music, much of which included rare records from a period when electronic music was just beginning to take hold. From Throbbing Gristle to Christian industrial music, Shane’s set was dark and tough, and got even more so as it progressed. Fans of Corporate Park’s catalogue will find the set mesmerizing and engaging. Eat shit and die.

Episode 20 of 2HOL featured a DJ set from Revolv - a permanent member of the TechnoSports crew. His set delved into the worlds of deep techno, broken beat and electro, mostly from the 90’s and 2000’s - all of which were blended in that characteristic way that focuses more on demonstrating the rhythmic complexity and deep understanding of synthesis embodied in the upper echelons of electronic music, rather than to show off any one genre or style. Like the DJ himself, the set is casual and thoughtful, but it is also brimming with the energy and intelligence that sums up the TechnoSports philosophy and approach toward music.

Not much to say about 2 Hours of Love Episode 19 except a DJ set from none other than Bill Converse. The set was recorded via microphone, so it’s got that “in the club” feel, which is pretty appropriate considering he rocked the decks like he was at a New Years Eve party, rather than inside the TechnoSports studio.

Bryce Isbell and Gray St. Germain Gideon aka FUR came to the TechnoSports studio and the Waaga Records-signed act showed the 2 Hours of Love audience something they had not yet heard on the show. Embracing a wide-ranging form of music with producers like J Dilla and House Shoes at its nucleus, FUR’s set picked from a spectrum of oddly-swinging, sample-based left field beats that drew from funk, hip hop, UK garage, nuJazz and a whole host of other soulful genres. Their most recent single Polybreak served as a perfect precursor to the kind of experimental, patiently-crafted  rhythms that made up their DJ set. If FUR shows up at a venue near you during their upcoming tour, TechnoSports suggest you pay them a visit.

JG always takes great care in preparing his sets beforehand and this was no exception. This was quite a non-traditional episode, so no sports talk and no Weekly Fishin’ Report, but the set, the interview and the weekly flow are all in tact for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Episode 15 of 2HOL featured a DJ set from Houston’s Robert Lane of //TENSE// fame. His eclectic, all-vinyl set, while staying almost exclusively in the 80’s, seamlessly mixed genres to a degree that made the connection between industrial, Chicago House, electro funk and EBM all the more apparent. We also played some tracks off older and forthcoming //TENSE// releases (the whole band was in studio), and, as always, brought you the North Texas Fishin’ Report and the weekly flow. Enjoy!!

It was everything you could expect from the young lad: jazz, Sade house remixes, deep house, gay house - the whole 9.

2 Hours of Love Episode 12 featuring an expansive and genre-ignoring all-vinyl set by Dallas’ Luke Sardello. We here at TechnoSports have never been in the presence of such rare and valuable records, and Luke made sure to piece them together into a nearly hour and a half long set that defied any sort of possible categorization or succinct description. Suffice to say, we said it would be a big deal, and it was. This episode was broadcasted during a Dallas Down Low Music family reunion, so all the old crew is there putting in their two cents and even talking loudly during important segments. But you’ll love it all the more for it.
