This mix is dedicated to the trans angels all over the earth. As fascism grows bolder by the day, remember that we have always been here and always will be. No amount of violence, suppression, or systemic oppression will stop us.

I want to thank Sasha for making these tapes and being a light to this world. I want to thank Sloane for inspiring this mix and immediately understanding its message. Finally, I want to thank my wife, Jaelynn, for traversing the medical system with me. I love you.

*PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE TAPE IF OUTSIDE THE STATES*
sadly, we will be forced to refund you

New Moon Ritual To Protect Against Medical Transphobia

Available on Audio Cassette and digital download directly from the label’s Bandcamp: https://cclurl.bandcamp.com/album/a-night-in-the-skull-discotheque

Side A: Bass is Eternal
Side B: 2-step Mutual Dream

A Night in the Skull Discotheque by the beloved underground selector CCL is the latest offering in the T4T LUV NRG label’s highly limited DJ mix series of cassettes. This immersive journey through a wonderland of proto-dubstep sounds from the late 1970s through the year 2000 is a sonic sibling to CCL’s acclaimed 2018 mix Ode to Queer Steppas.

Inspired in part by Eris Drew’s use of “old records to create new styles out of fragments” on her Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 mixtape (T4T LUV NRG, 2019), CCL approached this recording with a parallel frame of mind. Created with 3 CDJs, one Turntable, and a Boss Digital Delay 200, the tracks included in the mix are deconstructed from their whole, and constituent parts are intertwined, sampled, and dubbed out while being further stretched beyond their physical limits. CCL mixed many tracks at the 'wrong speed', pitched beyond their original recognizable tone; others are recontextualized through imaginative layering.

With a solid nod to seminal mixtapes of the early 90s, CCL references the namesake for Side A, Bass Is Eternal, an unreleased 1992 mixtape by influential Bristolian producers Smith & Mighty, an important sonic fulcrum amongst the musical tributaries of the hardcore continuum that continues to reverberate to this day. CCL experienced the after-effects of this ‘proto’ sound genesis in 2008, while living in Bristol, by which point its emergent whispers had coalesced into what became known as dubstep. Tracing a rich history of reference through the samples, basslines, moods, and drum patterns emanating from Bass Is Eternal while looking for connections that predate it became a long-term fascination for CCL. The result is a DJ mix that connects the oft-forgotten dots between proto eras and modern developments in bass and dubstep.

For the resulting sonic ride on A Night in the Skull Discotheque, CCL leads us to a fantastical place of timeless surreality – a majestic haunted dancehall soundtracked by a giddy rush of steppers and dubbed-out delights. Subs rattle through syncopated percs, and moody synths glisten in macabre glory. Fantastical dancers wriggle in wispy eternity, liberated from their corporeal forms in all their greatest spiritual wonder. Both extravagant and dusky, A Night in the Skull Discotheque is a world of seductive in-betweens, a place caught between the moodiest depths and the highest exuberance – A love letter to one of the most impactful formative sounds of the last decades.

If Bitter Babe was a perfume, her scent would be animalic—heavy musk, bergamot, worn leather and burnt spices. The Bogotá-born, Miami-bred and now Berlin-based artist has a heady, ultra-rhythmic sound that feels made for sweltering summer nights and feral fantasies. Combining pan-Latin styles with hard drum and industrial touches, she's crafted a singular mood that defines her DJing and production: hazy, high-energy and sensual.

Bitter Babe's ascent on the international circuit has been tied to her role in Miami's electronic renaissance. Whether it's proto-reggaeton, dense ambient or guaracha, her sets and productions are characterised by evocative low-end, darting synths and distorted frequencies that exude drama. With releases on TraTraTrax, Air Texture and SVBKVLT, she's cemented her position as an experimentalist, leaving the door open for more deconstruction and abstraction.

As cofounder of multidisciplinary project LATITUDES, Bitter Babe seeks to unify Latin America's electronic music communities. Her mixes are a great source for discovering under-the-radar acts from Peru, Brazil and beyond, some of whom are featured on her RA podcast. Starting with subby downtempo before moving onto swampy baile funk, technoid mutations of dembow and cheeky UKG, it showcases her expertise for trippy yet deeply kinetic grooves.

Joining us for Tapes #122 is Minor Science, the Berlin-based Brit who consistently cuts through the noise and has been making standout tracks for almost a decade.

As a DJ, Minor Science draws on years of experience to craft sets that are controlled in form and bold in content. Having performed at venues as diverse as Panorama Bar and the Bang Face Weekender, the average Minor Science set can do heads-down mindwarp, maximalist rave meltdown, or (often) both. 

Minor Science has presented his Absent Friends live show at events such as Intonal and Maerzmusik. Emotive and absorbing, these performances explore themes of psychedelia and togetherness via improvised performance and deft four-deck mixing.

Hi, we are back, let's not make a big thing of it! It's an honor to have GBD on the series.

“Long live the intifada! Free Palestine. Blessings to the Martyrs. This mix is raw output from a fragmented mind. Residues of insurgency across genres and decades.”

Gianpaolo Dieli (AKA gbd, PKA Savile) is a non-binary dj and producer who has been an integral player in the American dance music underground for over a decade. A Michigan native who began their career in Chicago with a residency at hallowed Smart Bar, gbd has built their practice around an effort to create equitable environments, imaginative visions, and disruptive programming.

Since their international debut at Berghain/Panorama Bar in 2016, Dieli has toured 10+ countries and 30+ cities across North and South America, Asia, and Europe, spreading their raw sound and unbridled energy with an open heart. In the intervening years, they’ve received support from some of the most notable publications and outlets across dance music and culture; the likes of BBC Radio 1, Red Bull Radio, Resident Advisor, i-D mag, Beats in Space, Ghostly, RinseFM, NTS, Truants, DJ Mag, Mixmag, and Groove Magazine.

Called “one of the most exciting secrets in US club culture” by Boiler Room, Gianpaolo currently works and resides in Brooklyn, New York, and holds a residency at Public Records. In 2023 they changed their artist name from Savile to gbd - marking a new beginning in their artistic journey and a continued commitment to unearthing dance musics' deepest sounds.

As always, thanks for listening.

Location: from caracas / barcelona based

Influences: Everything that reminds me of 'changa', as my friend Phran helped me to describe (because the term has some mysticism), was the music we danced to at the 'minitecas' in the 90s/00s. That sound would be a mix of House, Euro-dance, Mákina, Techno-Trance, Tribal House, and Hard House, all together. That now has evolved into worldwide reckoned genres such as Raptor House, Hard Fusion, Changa Tukky, Town House, Street House/Techno.

I guess the translation will sound like "Work it"

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Try to do yoga or engage in something you enjoy that helps you move the energy in your body, take care of your mental health, take time off, sleep, and try escaping from the city to nature once in a while for a full body and mind recharge, might sounds obvious, but it is effective 🤍🤍🤍

About the mix:  'AINES' would describe it as: the nostalgic vibe, or 'Hello Sasy' as apotheosic feelings, of one of the songs in it.
