Dedicated FFWD readers might recall a strange, bold text heavy article about hip hop mixtapes that they had to flip past from time to time over the past couple years on their way to Savage Love. That was Radio Silence the column, a mostly monthly look at free and legal music available online. This is Radio Silence the blog, a mostly whenever I feel like it look at the same, and probably some other stuff every now and then. Unfortunately, the legal element can be next to impossible to figure out in the bowels of the Internet, so I might slip up on that one from time to time, but free is pretty cut and dry.

For this inaugural post I'd like to direct your attention towards an excellent mix Canada's foremost psychedelic dance music making mathematics Ph.D Dan Snaith (aka Caribou) put together for British site Allez Allez. The mix is filled with Caribou remixes and other gems and might help listeners who are still trying to wrap their heads around the wonderful Swim, Snaith's recent excursion into underwater club music (or, as a friend recently referred to it as, twee trance).
