post-apocalyptic gathering of efforts through mutual agreement and excitement about coming together as a way to heal and dream of sweeter futures, by sending and receiving vibrations.
after long periods of physical distancing and alienation, intimacy can feel so mythical, our places foreign, our selves unreal.
we find common comforting ground in hidden gems - xenoliths - unique sonic landscapes binded and wrapped together in hopes of radical embrace.

100% of all proceeds will be donated to Casa T - a shelter for trans & non-binary immigrants living in Lisbon.

ASHTRAY MONUMENTS VOL. 23 - Kuscheln

A sweetheart with impeccable music selection. Enjoy his set, played on our perfectly tuned Function One sound system for our 22nd year of Promise Cherry Beach.

Kuscheln, Promise Cherry Beach, June 12, 2022

@Kuschelntime

Taking up the controller for the next in our SMUT mix series is the incredibly talented Kuscheln. The moniker of Matt Mockford, Kuscheln is the second Canadian to appear on our series and is a multi-talented producer (check out his track ‘Speed Bump’ as featured on Kaptcha’s compilation Xenolith 1.0 release) and DJ who runs Klub Ferret, a Toronto based queer party.  He has made his name playing places such as Phile, Por Detroit and Bossa Nova Civic Club and recently played at Promise Cherry Beach and has even appeared on our friends Ema’s show for Dublin Digital Radio. Matt’s extensive range of influences is reflected in this mix.  Here fusing UK techno, bass and breakbeat with some edits added in for good measure (particularly the iconic Donna Lewis closing), we couldn’t be more delighted to share this ethereal hypnotic mix with you. Big love to Kuscheln for putting this together.

REC_3_KUSCHELN

"this mix is my love letter to dubstep. i normally try to play as many different styles and genres as possible in my sets, but this time i leaned deep into the 140. over the years it's become objectively my favourite genre to dance to, and whenever i hear it on a big soundsystem i'm always surprised and delighted by the new ways i learn to move my body. there are some darker bits, dreamy moments, silly curveballs, but most importantly lots of grimy abrasive wobbles that you've probably come to associate the genre with."

Truancy Sessions S01 E04: Kuscheln (@kuschelntime)

Artwork by Kushagra (kushlet on Instagram)

Locking in with a new episode of our Truancy Sessions series with a mix of hi-energy hypnotics from Toronto-based DJ and tastemaker Kuscheln. An all-round purveyor of playful, thought-provoking dance music, he has become a staple figure in the Toronto underground, with his Klub Ferret parties offering nights of steamy dance-offs and queer revelry to a soundtrack of the hottest house and bubbling bass. His mix for us today is party perfection, rolling through with an infectious palette of  late night mind twisters, soaring grooves and big room breaks. As the curveball-loving fans that we are at Truants too, we've completely lost count of the amount of times we've wheeled up the Spice Girls remix in this mix. An unreal statement of flow and taste over 100 glorious minutes.

We've put the mix as well as a little photo diary and selection of the tracklist up on our wesbite. You can download Truancy Sessions S01 E04: Kuscheln in 320kbps and view the full tracklist on Patreon here (patreon.com/truants). Couple tracks are unreleased Kuscheln tunes. Your support helps cover all our costs, allows us to now pay our guests, allows Truants to continue running as a non-profit, ad-free platform and helps fund projects like this. Members will receive exclusive access to mixes, tracklists, and discounts off future merchandise. If you're desperately after any IDs however or money is tight, please leave a comment on the mix and either us or Kuscheln will get back to you :)

Live on Onaire - Oct 24, 2019

I had the privilege of playing a 3 hour opening set for @ohpeach in Toronto on December 19, 2019.

Sharing the bill with my good friend and mentor meant a lot to me, and 3 hours gave me an opportunity to really take my time feeling out the crowd to set the mood for the evening. Thanks to everybody who came out and danced, and to Verse for having me. 

See you in 2020 (K)
