Radio Soulwax presents Under the Covers, Volume 3

Here’s a quick description of UTC 3:

The third leg in a trilogy of hours that contain animations we made for our Under The Covers live DJ show, this one is decidedly more danceable. It mainly consists of a recent releases and has a few exclusive unreleased tracks in there, with some classics thrown in for good measure. We start out with Saam Farahmand’s amazing trailer for RSWX called “Machine” which was a joy to play in front of big audiences if only to see people’s reactions on their faces, and continue onwards with what is possibly the most party-friendly show on RSWX yet. This mix contains quite a few Belgian tracks, and only one animation that was made for a specific market, see if you can guess which one it is.

Radio Soulwax – “Introversy”

You remember when I first posted this mix, right? A few weeks ago, Soulwax released an app that took 2 years to create. That would sound normal, except for the fact that it was an app created under stressful circumstances. Basically, 24 hour-long mixes were produced by Soulwax/2 Many DJs, but they’re not just audio mixes — they hired animators, actors, and producers to make hour-long films that synced up with the music. Not only that, but this was also while they were on their non-stop tour around the world. To make the app actually legal — every song and album cover remixed will never be cleared, for obvious reasons — Soulwax bought an internet radio license that allowed them to whatever they want, as long as their product functioned as a legit radio station. The downside to this is that they — and everyone else that worked on this project — would never get paid for this.

Nevertheless, the app is free to download on the iTunes App Store and Android Market, and there’s also a 24-hour broadcast on their website. The first mix listed in the app, as well as embedded in the post below, is “Introversy,” which was made in 2009 for BBC Radio 1.
