01 Arash Moori High Tech

this mix was commissioned by woofer (https://twitter.com/woofer___) for his bi-weekly streaming show (twitch.tv/woofer___) so massive thx to him for giving me a push to actually record something for a change. it's the first proper planned thing i've done in years.

"femboy heaters" is a chaotic blend of ideas i've been playing with for years at this point. back in around 2002 i started djing with my close friend arash moori in birmingham. we both had wide-ranging tastes and wanted to find a way to represent that musically; we also both struggled with neurological issues. the result was a mix cd we titled "at the left handers disco", a blend of idm, r&b, trip-hop, techno, rap, d&b, ambient and noise. we handed out copies to all the bars and clubs we knew in birmingham and they truly hated it. they were just looking for the perfect soundtrack to accompany the merciless gentrification of the uk's ailing second city.

since then i've been mostly flirting with similar ideas, sometimes less obviously, sometimes more aggressively. i eventually had a regular night in birmingham (with arash, and other friends) where we focused more on softer, more "playable" electronic music; when i moved to the usa i ran a night called spectral rehab in boston which went back to pure eclectic mashed up noise-bass weirdness; eventually i became part of DRAW, a local club-focused afterhours party. now i'm in berlin.

over quarantine i've had the opportunity to fuck with multiple cdjs a few times, sharing ideas and absorbing inspiration from friends. this mix is a celebration of ideas i've had for ages (i've clanged the miley x autechre blend so many times it's not even funny) and a few i figured out only a couple of weeks ago. it's a massive thank u to old collaborators and new and to those ppl around me who allow me to feel whole, without having to hide any of the spikes or cracks. i love u.

the mix is an accompaniment to my forthcoming split tape with my lovely housemate jake muir for boomkat's "documenting sound" series. both feature dialog elements from todd haynes' 1995 movie "safe" cuz im a nerd :)

download is turned on so plz help urself but BUY music from all of the artists featured if u wanna help out. this is a tough time for anyone who relies on music to live.
