Welcome to DPD!


The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino.

Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme.

We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives.

Random DPD Pick:


Washing Machine
by: Sonic Youth
from: Washing Machine

Picked By: darpino
For: DPD: 044 - Title Tracks

I've always considered this a transitional album in SY's discography. After this album came Jim O'Rourke's producing residency and Sonic Youth finally started recording in their own studio. Nowhere is the transition in their sound more apparent and genius than in this title track. It combines everything in SY's arsenal up to that point and then washes it out in an impenetrable wall of sound that we ride towards the bands' future. I think this song is "The Trilogy" of the 90's.
