Three old mixes from Steve (aka DJ Sema4) going all the way back to 1999 including the excellent Wildlife mix done with Jamie Roberts and Dave Langolf. Totally timeless. Tracks are still amazing 12 years later.
Scissorkick.com was born within the second wave of music blogs in the late 1990s and is guided by a soundtrack to one mode of contemporary living here in NYC. It is proudly genre-agnostic and on a continuous search for new independent rock and electronic music.

Speaking of new things, the boys in the Bastard Jazz Soundsystem — myself (DJ Sema4), DJ DRM and Paul Diggs — have recently launched a new radio show on BrooklynRadio.net, one of the best online radio stations in this, or any other borough across the globe.
I know I’m shamefully late to the Web 2.0 party (especially considering what i do for a living) but you can now follow Scissorkick on Facebook. I will be updating the page there with news of new podcasts, special posts and events.
