Mixes

My inspiration for this mix comes from my languid, tipsy, smiley memories of day parties I have spent under the sun. The sun, which is the source of all life on earth, including the plants and animals whose gifts we eat, is constantly present in my associations around food as well as the rave. There are two kinds of day parties I held in my heart when I made this mix. One is the kind where you are sweating your ass off and meditatively dancing in front of a sound system that some gracious friends lugged to some sweltering outdoor location. The other is the kind where twelve of your favorite people have brought gifts of full tupperware to a destination picnic blanket (or folding table), and it is the longest day of the year (there's probably a body of water nearby).

Like many others, I felt a deep spiritual loss when we were unable to gather and rave when the pandemic began. During those early days of summer 2020, I began to rely on the practice of outdoor meals with my chosen Korean family to give me the extra dose of communal pleasure I needed to make it through. The recipe I chose is less of a recipe, and more of a framework, for my preferred way of executing such an outdoor Korean gui party. Gui is an active, communal dining practice where everyone is cooking, eating, and drinking together and at the same time around the same table. It doesn't have to be outdoors, but I think it's best that way. You will need some kind of apparatus for cooking your food that everyone can sit around. I always use a butane gas camping stove and a separate flat griddle or large cast iron pan. As well, you will need tongs and a pair of kitchen shears for cutting the grilled foods into bite size pieces for everyone to take directly from the grill. I hope my mix will make a good companion for your gui, either as something to listen to while you prep, or while you feast.

Ingredients per 4 people

Things to grill: (any combination of the following totaling at least 3 pounds)
Thick pork belly slices (1/4")
Ribeye or sirloin steaks
Thinly sliced brisket
Beef short rib (cut into thin strips, bone removed)
Thick king oyster mushroom slices (1/4")
Enoki mushrooms torn apart into small bundles.
Raw garlic cloves
Mild peppers
2 heads of red leaf lettuce and/or Korean perilla leaves
1 lb. kimchi or pickles of any kind
4 cups cooked white rice
A bottle of toasted sesame oil
Salt and black pepper
A tub of ssamjang
Soju or other dry spirit

Instructions:

Wash and separate all lettuce and perilla leaves and fan out on a large platter.
Set the table by placing the butane stove and griddle in the center of the dining surface such that everyone can reach it.
Arrange the grillable ingredients and the kimchi on a platter near the grill.

For each individual diner, set out an empty serving plate, a cup of rice, a portion of ssamjang (about 2 tablespoons), and a small shallow dish with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and a teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Have the youngest person pour a shot of soju for everyone.

Designate a grill master to cook the grillable ingredients. The grill master should grill the fattiest meat items first so that the pan gets greasy. Cut them into bite size pieces as they approach doneness and deliver fully cooked pieces to each diner's plate.

Once you have some food on your plate, take a lettuce or perilla leaf and place a dollop of rice in the center. Dip your grilled food in the sesame oil/salt/pepper mixture, and then place on top of the rice. Add a piece of kimchi. Add a little smidgen of ssamjang. Wrap all the components into a little bundle with the leaf. Eat the entire bundle in one bite!

Toast and take a shot of soju together.

Rotate grill master whenever they need some time to focus on eating.
Repeat steps 5 - 9 until you're too full and drunk to cook any longer!

previously available only on the club’s patreon, this is now public for everyone to enjoy. created for Virtually Nowadays at the beginning of the shutdown in April 2020 the movie was created by Jay Ivan as we drove through the empty streets of the NYC area, he filmed with a handheld DSLR and then aligned the audio after editing. 
programming this mix was emotional..i did my best to hopefully help people process positively while enjoying a "dance music mix" during a time of overwhelming uncertainty.

love and respect to Nowadays, Kristin (DJ Voices) for inviting me to participate in their livestreams, to my husband Jay Ivan for his patience and support for my professional goals and to you for your attention and kind appreciation 💜

RON LIKE HELL VIRTUALLY NOWADAYS MIX from 2020

@BFTT is a producer based in Leeds who makes weird club music. Next month he will be appearing on a @cong-burn 12" alongside Lack, Chekov and Howes with a skittery, full-bodied techno track that gets right up into your sternum. He's also a part of the @Leftoversuk and @mutualismuk initiatives, putting on parties, sharing mixes, releasing music, that kind of thing. Without any stipulation, for this mix he decided to focus on music that he found on Bandcamp and SoundCloud (as well as dipping into some of the unreleased music at his disposal), and he's included links to all of these releases where possible. Top marks for that! It helps that the mix bangs, traversing the weird club music I mentioned from noise to beats to ... t.A.T.u. — just go with it...
