It is that time again! Every year on May 4th, I release a new Western Blot song written in the 5/4 time signature, along with a DJ set of music in 5/4 by other artists, on Soundcloud. The song I wrote is called "Montreal." And this year's set is my longest to date, and has more recent (2025/2026) music than ever before, and the last third of the mix is all Baltimore artists: 


Lalo Schifrin – “The Girl Who Came In With The Tide”

Peaer – “Bad News”

Autechre – “Yulquen”

Sun Ra and his Myth Science Arkestra – “Angels and Demons at Play”

Geese – “Half Real”

Rattle – “Your Move”

Rush – “Freewill”

Official Hige Dandism – “Same Blue”

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – “Supreme Ascendancy”

Michael Kentoff – “Bank Holiday Wknd"

Serge Gainsbourg – “Wake Me At Five” 

The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis – “30 Years of Knowing”
