When Tim Sweeney isn’t manning the decks for the burgeoning DFA Records label, he’s taking over New York City radio waves with Beats in Space. Under the tutelage of famed turntablist Steinski (of Double Dee & Steinski), Sweeney has made a name for himself for his off-the-wall electro-house sets that are as likely to include EPMD or Cat Stevens as they are some obscure Depeche Mode dub mix. His Tuesday night broadcasts, which have been known to feature such notable guest DJs as Diplo, JD Twitch (Optimo) and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), can be streamed live at Beatsinspace.net. Or you can peruse the site’s MP3 archives and take the party to go.
