On January 22nd, 2023 the world celebrated the Lunar New Year, and the gate was opened to welcome the astrological proclivities and inclinations of the Yin Water Rabbit. Now, on February 1st, patiently and excitedly awaiting for the arrival of the Rabbit, which is to occur on February 4th, we celebrate the new year and the arrival of a very special contribution to our fledgling series, provided by the inspirational selector, and friend of many years, Cay Horiuchi.

In Cay's words: 

"This mix features some of the tracks I played for a cute underground NYE party organized by my friends in the unceded lands of the Chinook and Multnomah tribes. Living in the Pacific Northwest, this season is when I long for sunshine the most. Take a sonic journey with me all the way from South Africa, Japan, Algeria, U.S., Taiwan, and beyond. 
It’s about the celebration of the new year, 癸卯 (mizu no tou). New growth, new beginning.
It’s about dancing with your family and friends. 
It’s about the celebration of life.
It’s about love."

And so, dear listeners, in whatever state or corner of the world this mix finds you, we invite you to return to the untarnished listening you were born with, and to begin again.

JdB (Live)  : Los Angeles River Dub Techno

"This mix is a live recording from a recent visit to Podlasie in Chicago. When I gig, I think less about how I’m supposed to sound and focus on recalling, reconnecting with, and sharing music I love. As such there’s a ton of old favorites in the mix that span eras, genres, and moods. It is a capture of old favorites meeting new favorites. This ambassadorial practice of compiling new and old is a symbolic act of finding a sense of familiarity within unfamiliarity. It creates a level of genuineness that is vital for world building and sonic transportation while being resistant to consumption, possession, and escape. It highlights how one can encounter a new world without leaving this planet. Worlds are made of context and exchange; planets are made of matter, gas, and gravity."

ExHouse aka Experimental Housewife is a Bay Area-based DJ and live performer of 25 years. Over the last 10 years, she has become an icon of deep commitment to electronic sound and the art of storytelling. Deemed a "pillar of the underground" by RA, ExHouse started out as a teen raver, obsessed with the sound and attitude of the electronica of the 90s, before being drawn to ambient and post-rock in the early 00s, from which she takes much technical and aesthetic influence. Today she brings diverse cataloging and fluid turntable savvy to the dance floor, causing holes to appear in people's shoes while making "it look so easy". With an ear for contemplative bangers, deep grooves, and heavy drone, ExHouse has released original dance and ambient works on Jacktone, Schmer, True Indigo, Identity Spectrum Records and more. She owns and operates Perfect Location Records, a highly curated cross-medial label geared toward the greater distribution of honest and independent electronic music. She has toured North America and Europe and participates in a number of underground-forward outlets.

Originally aired on 10/21/23: Matt Sussman guests this month’s SMCD, and has this to say about his mix: “Comedowns can be ludic, wistful, melancholy - or all of the above. For this mix, I tried to pick tracks that evoked this tangle of bittersweet feelings while also including some personal morning after favorites.”
