Here some useless trivia you didn't need to know about me.I use the iTunes-LAME encoder to convert each edition of solipsistic NATION to MP3. I could use the iTunes built-in MP3 encoder but I want to
give your ears the best sounding show possible. Compressing a track to MP3 means sacrificing quite a bit of fidelity for the convenience of listening to the show on your computer, iPhone, Zune or
whatever you use to listen to tunes. If I'm going to convert music to MP3 then I might as well use the best encoder available. The downside of getting the best sounding MP3 I can that means twirling
my thumbs for 25 minutes or so while I encode each podcast to MP3.So what do I do during those 25 minutes?I usually catch up with people on Twitter or checking email. Maybe read.Today I blew the dust
off my PlayStation and played Street Fighter Alpha 3 for 30 minutes. Because I haven't played in so long my super combos were pretty rusty (I play Rolento, by the way) and I overcompensated by
mashing the buttons on my controller. By the time this week's show was converted to a MP3 my left thumb and forearm were throbbing.Anyway...This week's show goes out to Sean, who wants less
interviews and more music, and Michael, who is my own personal Ganesh.Got some cool tunes on today's show.Can you believe it?! Ninja Tune's Hip Hop London imprint, Big Dada, has been putting out
great music for over 10 years. Their recently released double CD, Well Deep, Ten Years Of Big Dada Recordings has so much great stuff on it that it was difficult to choose which artists I would
feature on this week's show. More and more music from netlabels have been working their way into solipsistic NATION and this week is no exception. Natalie Walker makes two appearances on this weeks
show. Once as a solo artist and once with her new project, Dive Index.Enjoy the show!Photo Credit: LiberoliberDiplo "Diplo Rhythm"Goldfrapp "Train"Tiny Stikz "Watching You (Vocal Mix)" [FREE

I have a love/hate relationship with House and Psytrance.See, House is kind of like the glam rock of electronic music and Psytrance is the electronic equivalent of prog rock. House, glam rock,
Psytrance and prog rock are all over dramatic genres of music. House and glam for its melodrama and Psytrance and prog rock for its pomposity, which I really have to be in the mood to listen to
because I usually find that kind of stuff a little overbearing.PsyBooty Records pulls off the neat trick of combining what I love most about House and PsyTrance.Continuing with the whole House/glam
rock analogy, what I love about those two genres is that they're incredibly sexy. And what I love in Psytrance and prog rock is their ability to sonically transport you to other realms. PsyBooty
Records has the knack of picking artists who craft music that is at once very sensual and psychedelic.I first found out about PsyBooty Records while listening to their music on the Fake Science
podcast and instantly became a fan of the label. I've wanted to do a show all about PsyBooty since launching solipsistic NATION and I'm amazed that it's taken this long to finally get David Justin,
the label's manager, on the show. On the other hand, it's a perfect example of how many music labels are putting out such great music that it's taken me this long to have David as a guest on
solipsistic NATION.This week's show is longer than usual because David gave me two CDs of music he wanted me to play. He knows that solipsistic NATION typically runs an hour, plus or minus a few
minutes, and told me to feel free to delete tracks from his mix. But in the end, I said to hell with it. I figured that since David went through all that trouble and since all the music is fantastic
it would be worth it to go long this week. Besides, since solipsistic NATION is a podcast I don't always have to be locked in to clocking the shows in at around 60 minutes. Enjoy!Biotone "The
