The Beat Oracle

This week we feature a stellar mix from Ruckus Roboticus created as an companion to his latest album “Playing With Scratches.” This mix was voted Solid Steel’s 2007 best mix of the year, an award he also pulled off in 2003 with his “Record Playa'” mix. Ruckus stopped by the Sells Studio and chatted with me about making this mix, his album and future plans.
