Wow, what an overlap! Thx for mixing my track "Blakeup"! @mynameisjarvi :-)

As Abstract without Abstraction was coming into being, there were a handful of projects that served as direct inspiration for the series; projects that sought to voice the sonic perspectives of the rich, diverse worlds of exploratory dance music and experimental electronic sounds flowering in the otherwise oppressive and increasingly violent, fascist wasteland of twenty-first century Turtle Island. Of those, Acid Daddy's DIESELcast is exemplary. In that light, it is an honor and privilege to present a two-and-a-half hour excursion mixed by @dieselcast's head curator Acid Daddy (@mynameisjarvi) themselves.

jarvi (aka Acid Daddy) is a Detroit-born, Chicago-based DJ, organizer, label head (at the recently launched @identityspectrumrecords), and member of the Naughty Bad Fun Collective crew. Above, beyond, and because of those things, jarvi is also a vocal proponent of discourse on non-binary identity (see a recent feature at the Sequencer series, here: http://sequencer.club/sequencer-spotlight-jarvi/) and Taurean gardener, catalyzing and tending to spaces (sound-space, event-space, relationship-space) where queer energies of acceptance, being, and becoming can flourish. In their contribution to AW/OA, "Wandering Through the Swamp of Sadness", we are given glimpse into their vision of mix-as-worldmaking; mix-as-portal; mix-as-reconciliation and therapeutic return. For the next two-and-a-half hours, remember that when we listen, we are given the right to inhabit whatever times and spaces we desire, wandering outside of those prescribed by the ruling class, and that wandering is often how we find our way.
