Summary: Next up in the series we welcome Disco Nihilist. Originally from Detroit he now resides in Portland, Maine and it’s with great pleasure we welcome him on board the series. Mike Taylor, aka Disco Nihilist, is a relatively new producer. His first, self-titled, 12-inch was released on US label Love What You Feel in 2009. Since then he has maintained a regular output on Construction Paper records and his latest EP has just come out on the seminal German label Running Back. Firmly rooted in the US-American electronic music traditions, Mike Taylor's records on Love What You Feel or Construction Paper roam the grey area between Chicago's Jack urgency, Detroit's funky machine soul and the raw magic of vintage drum machines. With his productions getting love from the likes of Lerosa, Rolando and The Revenge it’s clear to see that his work is getting recognition from the right people. This mix showcases Disco Nihilist’s talents as a DJ and shows his style to be natural, murky, filthy and raw to the core. It was recorded in one shot with a stack of vinyl on two 1200's and a Pioneer mixer to an Alesis Masterlink
