Milkcrate Mechanic - Carpe Diem Glitch Hop Mix - Starlight Thursdays Episode 33

Milkcrate Mechanic began experimenting with mixing wax over 2 decades ago. The name came from being one of the last DJ's still carrying crate after crate up and down stairs, not updating DJ equipment to CDJs or even a laptop. After many years Mr. Milkcrate can't be tied down to a specific genre, his sound can be described as unique, funky fresh and infinitely danceable. This has given him a chance to share a stage with artists Phutureprimitive, Griz, Sub-Swara, JPOD, Dieslboy, Enzymes, Freq Nasty, Logisticalone plus countless local and regional talent.  Aside from playing music he started Milkcrate Productions. Inspired from attending and hosting a theme camp at Burning Man. The Production Company was created to provide locals (many of them their first time) a bigger and better platform with which to perform. Since 2008 the mission statement for Milkcrate Productions has been and will always be, "Bringing the community together through art and music". Thus began Milkcrate Monday at the Palace and Badlander complex which later became Milkcrate Wednesday and after a decade became the longest running DJ weekly in the state. Some Words form the Man Himself- Hailing from the beautiful Missoula Valley my biggest inspiration has always been bringing something new and different to our community and providing up and coming artists a much needed outlet. Honestly running a weekly plus often a headliner show or festival on the weekend was a lot of work but always worth it. Another major inspiration is my wonderful wife Kitty!  Without her love and support I don't know that many of these shows would have happened.   In addition to the weekly at the Complex, I helped with major festivals across the state and beyond. I had the honor of playing and helping build and promote events such as Shine, Pirate Party, Neon City, LYMEF, Forest Creatures and many more! Inspired by the Burning Man Festival I constructed a couple of geodesic domes, an art vehicle (Boxy Brown RIP), a fire breathing dragon head and two twenty foot flame cannons just to add to the outdoor DJ experience.Watching this music scene grow and flourish has always been my biggest inspiration.  However being able to host artists in my own home during their first trip to the Treasure State has been amazing as well.  Having artists such as CloZee and JPOD stay with you and realizing that not only are they fantastic musicians but also amazing genuine people is nothing short of humbling. This mix includes some new jams as well as some classics dusted off and resurrected from "the crate".  Enjoy! -Milkcrate Mechanic- For more of his amazing mixes check out https://soundcloud.com/milkcrate-mechanic?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=0
