SHG Radio Show, Episode 356

Welcome to this week's edition of Subterranean Homesick Grooves™, a weekly electronica-based radio show presented originally on CHMA FM 106.9 at Mount Allison University in Atlantic Canada (but expanded to distribution on other terrestrial and internet-based radio stations), and also distributed as a global podcast through iTunes. The show is normally programmed and mixed by Jonathan Clark (as DJ Bolivia), although some weeks very occasionally feature guest mixes by other Canadian DJ's. The show encompasses many sub-genres within the realm of electronic dance music, but the main focus is definitely on tech-house and techno, and a small amount of progressive, trance, & minimal. Due to the mix of styles, you may hear combinations of tracks that wouldn't normally be featured together in a DJ's live set, but this show is intended to feature various styles of electronic/dance music. Liner notes for this episode (SHG 356) can be seen below.

Para la información en español, vaya aquí.

I should point out that when I make these shows, I mean for them to be a journey. I pay a lot of attention to the programming, and to the development of energy levels. If you're a first-time listener, you might think that the start of the show is quite tame, on the slower and "deeper" side of house or techno. However, give it time. Pay attention to how the styles change throughout the mix, and how the energy builds. Sometimes, I'll be very erratic and jump around between several genres, just for fun. Sometimes, I'll do a particularly dark show, with a heavy emphasis on techno. Most of the time however, you'll find a mix of mostly deep house or minimal or deep techno for the first third of the mix, building into a more upbeat section of tech-house through the middle, perhaps building up to some energetic tracks at the end, which often trespass into the realm of more contemporary house. Don't treat the show as a collection of individual tracks ... think of it as a cohesive experience; an hour-long aural journey of reflection and beats. And don't be shocked when I jump around between sub-genres of house and techno, to keep you wondering what will come next.

Change in Publication Format for Subterranean Homesick Grooves

I just sent the following letter out to all of my production liaisons at the various terrestrial and internet-based radio stations that host Subterranean Homesick Grooves:


Hi everyone,
I've just returned from a period of several months with extremely limited internet access.  As you're aware, during this time I found it impossible to keep up with regular production of Subterranean Homesick Grooves.
I regret to inform everyone that I will probably be dealing with similar problems over the next fifteen months or more.  I can't guarantee that I'll be able to do a proper job of producing the show on a timely basis, and I don't like to do a poor job if I'm working on a project that I really enjoy (or on any task, for that matter).
Therefore, effective immediately, I am unfortunately going to have to change the show to a monthly production schedule, rather than a weekly one.
I realize that most of the broadcasting entities that carry the show expect programming on a weekly basis, and that you'll probably have to drop the show from the lineup.  This is not my preference, but I understand that it will be inevitable.  This is an especially hard decision when I reflect upon entities such as CHMA FM in Sackville (the first station that carried the show), who have shown such strong support over the past seven years.
I know that the audience for the show in the upcoming months will now be reduced to mostly just my iTunes podcast audience, and my internet shares of the show through direct links and through SoundCloud.
I hope that starting probably in 2019, I might be able to commit to moving the show back to a weekly format.  If/when that happens, I'll let each of you know, in the event that you might consider reinstating the show into a regularly weekly slot.
Thanks so much for all of your support over the past several years.  I've truly appreciated everything that you do for the listening public.
Sincerely,
- Jonathan Clark (DJ Bolivia)
Executive Producer, Subterranean Homesick Grooves


The radio stations have already released broadcasts up to episode 360, which is about seven episodes ahead of what internet listeners have been able to see so far.  So even into September, any internet listeners will once again be getting new episodes frequently (every five or six days) until I catch up to the radio schedule.  After that point, the internet shows will go online monthly, to accompany radio release.

Thanks for your support over the years!
