About

Break The Science is the blog originally created to promote a DJ mix show that was briefly on WMUC 88.1 FM in College Park, MD. Now Break The Science is an irregularly released podcast; think Club Autonomic, but with much less notarity and exclusives, but a good mix of different electronic music.

The show is hosted by Harry Ransom and features an eclectic mix of electronic dance music, ranging from old UK hardcore and drum'n'bass, up through dubstep, tech house and future garage. Archives and set lists will be added as soon as they become available.

Back on air this Sunday, June 27, 2010.

I was out of town the past two weekends, so no shows broadcast. I will be in town this weekend, so catch the show on air.

Also, I have a couple DJ gigs:

  • Tonight, June 24th at Dub Sounds, held at Dodge City on U Street NW, in DC, alongside Bill Fold and Phil Real, playing dubstep, and maybe some future garage & UK funky.

  • Sunday, July 4th at Founding Fathers, held at Ultra Bar on F Street NW, in DC, playing drum’n’bass and maybe a touch of dubstep. Headliners include Ed Rush & Optical, Datsik, Frankie Bones and a few others, plus a lot of local talent, spread over four rooms.

Recent mix by Harry Ransom of older drum’n’bass

Just a taste of where I come from as a music fan & collector.

“Most of the tracks on it were requested by my friend Todd, a buddy of mine from college that used to go to a lot of drum’n’bass events with me, and even traveled to SF a few times when I went out there to play some gigs & hang out. And then I picked out a couple other older tunes that I thought he might have dug or just forgot about, and stitched it all together”

Just like I stated on the EXBC blog, put this together about a week ago for an old buddy of mine. Kind of no frills with the mixing, let stuff play long so he could hear it, rather than try to hype things up with faster & shorter mixes. Probably going to do more sets like this for fun.
