This week is well, very much as techno as the last episode! I am very pleased to FINALLY present to you this mix Marcus Monaghan threw together for the show. It is an hour of slamming techno tunes to get you through the rest of the week.

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

It's always a great day when we have a debut on the show, and even though one DJ in this dynamic has had multiple appearances, the pair are finally here to get you grooving. Sketchy Decks, the combination or Arecibo Project and Sarahbellum, has an hour mix that will not allow you to sit still.

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.

This mix has been in the queue for far too long, and it has finally come to light. It is my pleasure to have Troia make his debut on SER. Tony is a newer DJ, but I don't think I've seen anyone progress in the art faster. This mix is a wonderfully left field offering full of different genres, from the familiar to the bizarre. This is a good one to sit back and relax as you get through the half-way point of the week.

Enjoy!

You know him, you love him, and I know I'm very excited for his return. Wilcot, one of the wonderful members of the illustrious Frequency Underground, brings you an hour long adventure that vividly displays his range, talent, and taste. This one is something else, and one that really held my attention from beginning to end., No way you don;t finish this mix without a smile on your face!

Perfect for the post-Christmas decompression, TreDamit brings you an hour and a half of beautiful, catchy, organic afro-house to soothe the soul and move your body.

Every set I've seen him play oozes style and professionalism that can only come from someone who's been in the game for a long time. Help me give him a warm welcome to the SER family!

Well, happy freakin' New Year to each and every one of you! As is tradition, I've put together my favorite tunes of 2021 to help break in the brand spankin' new 2022. These songs are a mix of my most listened to and most played. This is probably my most ambitious year end mix to date, as it is a melting pot of genres and styles, from neo-soul to techno and back.

While most tracks were released in 2021, some certainly are not, with one track released as far back in 2009. But, these were some of the songs that shaped my year, defined my sound, and inspired me to do what I love most. It was quite difficult to narrow it down to just an hour, but it was an absolute pleasure to find the right flow for your listening pleasure. I truly hope you enjoy!

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!

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!!
