Every Tuesday, join me for a new hour of House and Techno, mixed by myself and some very special guests from Asheville, North Carolina, and the surrounding regions.

Couldn't be happier to have Peri Meters on the show. You guys know the deal by now, so I'll let her set the scene for you, in her own words.

"The title says it all. Sit back and sink into some of the odd, pulsating, and deep sounds of a haunted house. Reminiscent of a mixtape your goth girlfriend made you in 10th grade, this set was inspired by the innovative folks who host Goth Night at the 27 Club. <3"

Synth Etiquette Radio | Episode 112 | Peri Meters - Halloween is My Love Language

Wow. That's one of the only words I was able to muster after this set. This set was recorded live at a wonderful house party on 11/5/21, and ended up being a once in a blue moon type experience. Myself and Peri Meters, whom you know as Double Helix, ended up playing a set featuring Asheville's legendary Gilbot to what can only be described as the dance floor of the year. I say featuring Gilbot, and not B2B because while we did our normal 1 and 1 tag routine, They were mixing, remixing, adding, and improving the set over us the entire time. I've never really experienced anything like it, and I hope you enjoy listening even half as much as we enjoyed playing.

Well, well, well... What do we have here? Just Double Helix coming at you with a set showcasing our new Hybrid Live project! This iteration of our dynamic duo includes some smooth as silk selections and mixing from the one and only Peri Meters and live guitar by myself, Aidan Rolfe. These sets, notably my playing, are entirely improvised, so while it is a little rough around the edges, we decided it was a great way to give you a taste of what you'll see in our upcoming gigs... of which there are plenty, thankfully. We hope you enjoy, and we'd love your feedback!

Soooo excited to have yet another brand new guest on the show! Help me give Mojo Le Fay a warm, well deserved welcome to the show. She brings a mix of bumping, pulsing, and heavy tech house that will have you all warmed up for whatever events you may attend this weekend.

Synth Etiquette Radio | Episode 125 | Mojo Le Fay

A brand new guest on the show is always a treat. Please welcome Travis Christian for his debut!! He brings 2 hours of house and techno full of grooves and moves that we just love to hear. 

Some words from the man himself:

"Lately I've been giving a good deal of thought to the concept of resonance. In the natural world we observe objects that resonate with particular frequencies. A certain length sound wave can cause the right crystal to vibrate, even sing. Tuning forks resonate our ear drums, or not, confirming that we can or cannot hear a particular frequency. The eqs and filters producer use on our tracks allow us to increase the resonance of particular frequencies within a synth note or sample. So when we say something resonates with us, what we really mean is that it connects to our frequency. It's on our wavelength. It matches our vibration. While no single track, song or sound could ever express who we are in total, an aesthetic, a "whole vibe" can.

Having just launched and started the process of building my own label Shadow Mined Recordings, I am very thankful to Aidan and Synthetiquette Radio for the opportunity to share the sound that represents my resonant frequency. For this mix, I wanted to put together a set of tracks, some older, some new, at least one that may never see the light of day, that reflect as closely as possible the aesthetic, the frequency that SMR is built on and continually aims for. It's a sound that resonates and reflects back to me parts of myself I perhaps would not have discovered in its absence. It describes who I am in a meaningful way where words fail. In a sense, I consider this vibe, this feeling, an introduction to who I am and what I'm about, not only musically, but at a deeper, unspoken level I am still, and always will be, in the process of discovering."

Back in April of this year, Synthetiq Frequencies got together and kicked off an incredible partnership at one of our favorite venues, Rusty Lotus. Double Helix played a hybrid live set that, to this date, they believe to be their best work yet. While every live set has improved on the last, and they've been proud of their new direction and innovations, this set was surrounded by an electric dance floor who were beyond receptive of what they brought to the table. We've waited long enough to bring you this set, and if you're on the fence about coming to check out this live act, we hope this steers you in the right direction. Listen as Peri Meters effortlessly mixes the perfect foundation for Aidan's improvisations below. We hope you enjoy!!

This week, I have another guest from Greenville who's mix has been a LONG time coming. Romman has curated a set to pluck at the threads of your conscience, get your synapses firing, and get yourself movin' on through your weekday!

Be sure not to miss him when he comes to your neighborhood, and show some love with a like, a share, a whatever gets this out in the world!

Synth Etiquette Radio | Episode 074 | Romman

Oh man, big week this week! There are some changes to the show as well as some cool news! Besides a new graphic, the show finally has its very own intro music! HUGE thanks to The Antelope, aka Nomad in the Dark, aka Iffy from In Plain Sight for providing the opening with such a beautiful track to be ruined by my voice overs.

Now, for our very special guest this week. I am oh so pumped to have Hypnocat on the show. I had the honor of playing with her in Greenville a few weeks back, and her techno selections kept me out much later than I planned. Asking her to be on the show was an inevitability. This mix really did it for me, so if you're looking to get your week bangin',  I doubt you'll find much better.

For the last episode of 2020, we have one of the Asheville staples returning to the show. Ezekiel put together a set of truly raw emotion, finding a way to materialize the healing from a particularly rough year in music form.

From the man himself:

"The past year has been filled with challenges and loss but at the same time there has been such deep growth. This set encapsulates the emotions of all I've been through this last year and the hope of what is to come. I hope that your heart is touched and I thank you for listening. Enjoy the music!"
