Electronic music genealogy

I’ve been presenting a monthly online radio show on The Thursday Night Show as DJ Discordian for a few years now and I’ve done quite a few history shows. All my shows are on Mixcloud in chronological order in terms of when the shows were broadcast.

Here, I’m going to organise them in timeline order, starting from the earliest, to put them into an historic perspective. I shall update this when I do more relevant shows.
