DJ Paypal is one of those internet gems that seems hell bent on nothing more than unleashing his rapturous brand of good times unto the world. Stylistically, the largely anonymous producer is smooth and glossy, yet supercharged with hyperactive footwork percussion and a kitschified energy that radiates from each of his tracks. This is real, lightning speed, party music, designed for the giddiest cases of Saturday night fever. And hopefully all this will become apparent when you press play on the excellent, hour-long mix he has put together for us, jam-packed full of exclusives from Clicks & Whistles, daedelus, satanicpornocultshop and, of course, DJ Paypal himself.

Truancy Volume 66: DJ Paypal

Like Dis 2003

“Stereomodernism” is a mix that frames techno as embodied aural history, from a Black theoretical perspective—and as a direct foil to Rainhald Goetz's “Rave,” an attempt to counter the fantasy that is the white, Eurocentric view of a distinctly African American artform. DeForrest Brown, Jr., who produces music and other media as Speaker Music, draws on the poet Tsitsi Ella Jaji’s concept of “dubbing in stereo for solidarity”: his mix melds Detroit techno and adjacent sounds of African-American culture, illuminating the relationship between techno and “centuries of attempts to evade and subvert the status quo in America.” With an illustration by Abdul Qadim Haqq.
