Reason Is Treason

In the world of inspiration, some forces stand above and ring out louder than others. Chris Widman-- producer, co-host and co-founder of Abstract Science Radio-- stands among them. With over 25 years at the helm of Absci Radio and +1,000 episodes delivered to the Chicago airwaves and beyond, Widman's legacy is nothing short of phenomenal.

For this episode, unleashed in the wake of the full moon in Aries, as the seasons turn towards the sublunary majesty of decay and repose, join us for a massive 90-minute journey into the bass-driven, subterranean impulses of contemporary sound design. As a whole it is remarkably spectral, propulsive, tectonic in its weight, and revelatory in its resolution. 

From Chris, "...this mix was commissioned long ago. during which time, the great andrew weatherall died, inspiring me to scrap a carefully curated playlist + compile something new along the slower tempos the "guv'nor" championed. the result weaves together related threads of techno dancehall, dubwise breakbeat, blunted electro, african/diaspora club (+ inspired versions), + inescapably, two favorite weatherall projects."

this is not my cataclysmic nye DJ mix, it is a tribute to the set i was supposed to perform + the space it was to celebrate.  starts with deep dubstep, breaks + 2 step garage, then moves into drum n bass + jungle.

CHRIS WIDMAN cataclysmic tribute mix [2023]

Beyond / Below B17 by @chriswidman of @abstractscience. Received January 2024.
Photo by Chris

"The vision + photo of a winter sunset on Lake Michigan became the starting point. From there, the mix evolved into three movements that were influenced by the Metro/Smartbar "23 Hour Party People" chill room sets through which I first got to know Hi-Vis. Even though it is intended for deep listening, it sounds best at high volume with proper bass."
