The 'guest mixer' for this episode is Eric Smith
Eric is a US navy veteran, a writer/blogger and many other things besides. You can read about him at his website, which he has been running since 1993 (when most of us were still trying to figure out what a modem was).
I know Eric via the Fall Online Forum, where we soon discovered that, while there are a few artists for whom we have a strong, shared enthusiasm, our musical Venn diagram intersection sometimes feels a little slender. So I was interested to see how I would get on with his mix...
