GRAVIDADE ZERO mixes by AZELPDS

So... this DJ in Portugal does a podcast called Zero Gravity (Gravidade Zero) which features an hour long mix, and he does these shorter ones, 15 to 30 minutes in length, with only a few songs.
As for tracklisting-- lots of experimental electronica, shoegaze, old school alternative, modern bands that need to be heard, and just the right touch of pre-Manson gothic- very impressive musical knowledge and a good ear for music-- an INCREDIBLE ear for music actually- because every new song you hear will have you scrambling for the tracklist- to find out what you just heard.

I can't say enough about Azelpds... just listen to some of his mixes!!

The one I chose is #25 and features a broad spectrum of sounds- covering a little bit of everything. This is hardly the best one- but a great overview, none the less.

02. Keep Away From Heat - Heavy Metal Birds

03. Apparat - Useless Information

04. Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla

05. The Tear Garden - Romulus and Venus

06. Say Hi - We Lost the Albatross

07. Frightened Rabbit - Poke

08. Jane's Addiction - Three Days

09. Love & Rockets - No Big Deal

10. The Jesus & Mary Chain - UV Ray

11. Metric - Ending Start

12. Pretty Girls Make Graves - Holy Names
