Good news! Pacific Spirit is back after a small hiatus with our first mix of 2024. This time around it's a 3 hour live recording from one of Pittsburgh's finest, Aaron Clark. Here's a bit of back story on the recording:

In October 2022, Hot Mass threw a fundraiser for the Kyiv Angels – a group doing work to support Ukrainian civilians. We tapped Kyiv’s Closer resident Shakolin, and I took the warm-up set of the night. This is the recording of my part of the night. I dusted off a lot of old favourite records and leaned into a slow build that I try to set the club up with, tugging the floor between psychedelic rhythms, trippy techno and pops of house. This recording landed in that bullseye opening zone I aim for, and I hope it transports you to my favourite little dance floor in the world."

Enjoy the audio everyone! Also be sure to familiarize yourself with the many projects Aaron is involved with including - Hot Mass, Honcho, and Honcho Campout. Aaron is also a resident at the NYC dance institution Nowadays, if you happen to find yourself in the Big Apple and he's playing you're in for a solid session!

A new mix...for a project that has been sitting around. @bodyzone is something I started where I released two mixtapes of original music back in 2020. Four years later, I thought it was only fitting to start this up again by releasing a recording dedicated to the Midwest since the actual 'Body Zone' is a gay bathhouse located in Detroit which is a 5 minute drive to Menjos where the infamous Club Toilet parties take place.

This mix is a reflection of the set I played when I was invited this last year in 2023. Through all the practice sessions and preparations I made to get myself up on that stage, I found a few decent recordings and versions of what I played that night during Movement weekend. Consider this my Club Toilet retrospective. 

"bodyzone as a project and label is an ode to a gay bathhouse in Detroit."

Something about playing that Sunday, after Shyboi, in the room I'm usually doing the lights for, that made me want to just bang it out. Beating the box, my inner truth, my love language. So many drum tracks, so little time... I wanted to mix the old school beat tracks I love with the, often goofy and outrageous, early hardcore from '90-'92 before the genre had distilled into hardcore jungle and DnB. And while I have some misgivings of this live set I think this mix still gives. The reviews I heard were "I was speed skating so much during ur set", "it was giving sexy", and "best yet" : )

Influenced by his upbringing in Detroit, he’s developed a decade-long obsession for collecting and curating a wide range of dance music that reflects his passion for the history of the craft. This mix presents a selection of timeless house cuts that reflect on the urgency of the dance floor to “let your body be free”, a sentiment all too important in our current political moment.

BLUSH026 - @bouffant-bouffant

Blush aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

“I listen to alot of ambient, jazz, shoegaze, non-dance music to soundtrack my daily life, turning my design work, long walks, bike rides, chores and meditation into a sort of cinematic beauty. These songs and albums become very personal to me for this reason. Whenever I'm asked to share this music, whether as a DJ set or as a recorded mix it becomes a loaded exchange for me. I worked on compiling this music and recording the mix the week leading up to the total eclipse in my home in Mid City New Orleans. This process proved to be very psychedelic and introspective and the result feels like an important timeline marker in this stage of my life that I will be transported back to anytime I revisit the mix. I hope that in sharing this sonic tapestry, the listener  is able to close their eyes and take a psychedelic carpet ride, a journey inward, riding the sound waves, and allowing them to evoke emotion, thought, and introspection.”
