Favorite Quote:  Idk but lately I have been saying to myself : "Work smarter, not harder" 


Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Be more transparent about the spaces you are creating and who they are for, be more intentional about what you are doing and how you treat folks within the spaces you create because it has an impact whether you think so or not. Make things more accessible for people who need accessibility. Don't only book/ hire your friend group ( that's wack ) Open doors for people who often are not given opportunities to play shows or be a part of amazing projects. Pay folks fairly !!! / Do not be a clout chaser / gatekeeper, Look out for each other, if you are sick pls stay home, remember to be kind and to have fun ( I hate a bitch who takes themselves too seriously ) Treat folks how you would want to be treated, in any room you walk in !!! be rooted in kindness and humility ~ you are not above others just because you played a boiler room or in that lil bathroom in berlin or what famous people you're friends with or if you yourself are famous because in the end that won't matter. What will matter is how you did what you did and how you treated yourself and others within that process. Also use your privilege to stand up for injustice and give opportunities to people who don't get them easily N lastly ~ Think about the people that you are in community with who struggle with addiction / are now in recovery who still have to be apart of nightlife / work in it.  Practice Harm reduction <3

About the mix: I was at the gym last winter running on the treadmill and I had this image in my head of me running as fast as I can and then turning into a plane that flies away. I have not been able to get that image out of my head since and I often find myself returning to it. Whether it's through exploring it in this mix or continuing to visualize it. This Mix also feels like a continuous Car crash to me. Songs go into each other in this chaotic way but also it makes sense and works ( for the most part ) When I was creating it I was like this is how I feel but I DON'T KNOW if thats gonna make sense to the listener, then I was like no keep that, do that 1. In this Mix I'm also exploring my ability to move through discomfort / uncomfortable situations ~ I'm exploring what it would be like if I retaliated rather than leaving situations alone through the sounds, that's why it sounds very Chaotic and messy. I was also exploring the complexities of queer relationships/ Love in this mix. When I DJ/ Create mixes I like to use a track and take it to its most extreme it could ever sound. Sometimes I do nothing because it is already that and other times I mix other tracks into it.

AWood - Acceleration Radio - aired on CFRO 100.5FM from 11pm-12am, 2024-10-24

"My name is AWood (https://soundcloud.com/awoodmusic) and I'm a queer DJ and Producer based in "Vancouver". After DJing digitally for almost a decade, I have been teaching myself to play vinyl this year. Mixing records feels emotional sometimes as I think of our DJ ancestors showing up at the original raves with their crates, paving the way for all of us. 

In this mix, I blended 90s and 00s techno records with a few modern groovers that capture that old school feeling. A special song that I played in this mix is my newly released track "Orbit", my first ever song released on vinyl. Thank you to Acceleration for the opportunity to put this mix together <3"

"Log 000023-2241

We woke up from cryo sleep a few weeks back as we arrived to the Tuldorah system. Things have been slow as we adjust to being awake. It's been nice to play Go with Zaid. And Anh is fun to be around, though they sing a lot when doing their chores and it's kind of driving me nuts. Space can be hella boring at times. But today, looking at the planets of Tuldorah in the navigation pane, I felt that sense of wonder that got me into this in the first place.

Log 000341-0953

The year hadn't been very fruitful. We explored yet another planet that ended up being a gas giant. But today, our radar picked up the signal of a previously unidentified rogue planet, which we have named Ortali. It seems to have lined itself up to orbit around the Tuldorah system. This behaviour is fascinating and something we agreed our expedition should research more deeply. We have set the coordinates to Ortali's proximity. While we get there, we'll continue to chart some orbital models and run scans of its surface.

Log - 000405-1444

We haven't seen much from Ortali yet, but we are eager to keep exploring. Its surface is unlike anything we have seen before. In appearance it is chitinous, but upon interaction it is incredibly dense and solid. We have discovered several tendril-like lifeforms that sprout from the surface. They are gelatinous, hairy, and gently ondulate. They are not hostile. We have taken some samples to analyze their composition. I can't wait to see what hides in other regions of Ortali.

ᯊ ೈᾖ ꔘ�ꥄ⨕ㆬ⠨-鯦ᙶၦ

I am deep into the chasm. Things seemed safe enough but I suddenly got separated from Anh and Zaid. I try to make my way back but the path seems to change every time. The life forms are becoming much denser, they seem to be reacting to my presence. I can't shake this feeling of being watched, puppeteered even. It sends shivers down my spine. I feel like Ortali... is alive."

"I feel like my DJ name has become a self-fulfilling prophecy because I gravitate towards songs that sound like technology. This mix is hard but airy with some hints of yearning. I don’t picture it playing at the club but at home for your solo dance party or when you’re out running errands. Enjoy an hour of some high bpm beats ranging from jungle, breaks, footwork and techno."

"This downtempo mix is like the scent of my clothes. When I’ve sampled so many fragrances and start losing track of what I truly like, a simple way to reset my senses is to inhale the familiar scent of my clothes—they bring me back to my essence. Starting with Japanese band sounds, the mix unfolds as a sonic journey with psychedelic and euphoric, yet chilled-out vibes. It’s a mix that makes me feel fluid, relaxed, and in tune with myself, all while maintaining a sense of calm and freedom."
