Thrice magisterial is the name and goal for this one. Epithet of Hekate and Hermes (not to mention their skinnier and more business savvy cousin), this one moves through three more or less distinct movements, and is the first one I've made with real hardware. Dedicated as always to the queen on the willow throne, and to Grace Jones for inventing the saxophone, and to you, whoever you are / baby makes three <3

Tom DeBlase live @ PS Pittsburgh

“In the cosmos, amidst the celestial ballet of stars and galaxies, exists a planet unlike any other. Urantia, as it is known, holds a unique distinction - it is one of the most poorly run planets in the universe. From the vantage point of cosmic observers, Urantia is a place of chaos, marred by violence, poverty, and hate.

Yet, amidst the turmoil, there exists a profound spiritual truth, known to only a select few. It is whispered among ancient texts and encoded in the hearts of the awakened souls. This truth speaks of a way out, a purpose veiled behind the facade of suffering and strife.

On Urantia, life unfolds like a grand tapestry, woven with threads of joy and sorrow, love and hate, light and dark. Souls incarnate into the human experience, each journeying through the labyrinth of existence in search of enlightenment. For on Urantia, enlightenment is not merely a spiritual attainment; it is the key to liberation, the doorway to transcendence.

Among the countless souls traversing the Urantialy realm lives a wise old sage named follidh. They have walked the path of enlightenment across many lifetimes, their soul carrying the wisdom of ages past. With each incarnation, follidh moves closer to the elusive truth that lays beyond the veil of illusion.

In their current incarnation, follidh finds theirself amidst the tumult of a world in transition. Wars ravage nations, greed poisons hearts, and despair casts its shadow over the lands. Yet, follidh remains undeterred, for they know that amidst the chaos, there exists the seeds of transformation.

Guided by an inner knowing, follidh embarks on a journey of self-discovery, delving deep into the recesses of their soul. They meditate upon the nature of existence, seeking to unravel the mysteries of life and death. With each moment of stillness, they feel the whispers of the cosmos echoing within their being.

As time passes, follidh's awareness expands, and they begin to perceive the interconnectedness of all things. They see how every thought, every action ripples across the fabric of reality, shaping the destiny of the cosmos itself. And in that realization, they understand what they need to do on Urantia.

Urantia is a crucible of transformation, a realm where souls forge their consciousness through the fires of experience. Those who attain enlightenment transcend the cycle of reincarnation, ascending to realms of pure consciousness where collective love reigns supreme.

With this newfound understanding, follidh dedicates theirself to the pursuit of enlightenment, not only for their own liberation but for the awakening of all sentient beings. They exist to spread light amidst the darkness, sharing their wisdom and compassion with all who cross their path.

As light illuminates the hearts of humanity, a shift begins to occur. The veils of ignorance fall away, and souls begin to remember their true nature as beings of love and light. Slowly but surely, the vibrations of the planet shift, and Urantia begins to resonate with the frequencies of peace, harmony, and love.

In time, Urantia will transform into a utopia, a paradise where violence, poverty, and hate were but distant memories. Amidst the cosmic symphony, Urantia shines as a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of enlightenment to heal and transform even the most troubled of worlds.

And so, the saga of Urantia unfolds, a tale of redemption and transcendence, reminding the universe that even the darkest of shadows can be illuminated by the light.”

For the 29th edition of our Mass Cast, we're excited to release this incredible recording of @cvigoe 's 4-hour opening set from Hot Mass on Saturday, March 30, 2024. Conor is someone we've loved to watch grow as an artist through his years in Pittsburgh and via his radio show on 88.3 WRCT. It was such a treat to get to send him off from his time here with a set at the club, and he did an absolutely flawless job. Take notes: this is how you build a night over many hours.

Big thanks to you, Conor, and all the best to you wherever life takes you. We can't wait to see what you do next!

Nark, aka Kevin Kauer, founder of Bottom Forty and Nark Magazine, has devoted his life to dance music and club culture. For the last decade, he's helped cultivate Seattle's queer community, running a kaleidoscope of above and underground nightlife events including party/political movement Dickslap, a series of annual alternative Pride festival weekends, and the programming at Q Nightclub where he served as resident and creative director. For GhostlyCast #81, Nark delivers a marathon mix that serves as an emotional release and celebrates a recent revelation. "This year was about realizing I'm already exactly where I want to be and surrounded by boundless talent and energy here in the Seattle scene," he says. "Over the years of traveling the world and playing all these cool parties and making new friends and colleagues, I've only to come to realize how hard it is for anyone to separate friendship from competition; it puts a heavy emotional toll on so many people in the scene that builds exponentially, and it can really bring you down. For me, making this mix was about representing myself exactly the way I feel, not up to anyone else's standard. It's about letting go of the things I thought I wanted to chase after and instead, being in the present with myself, our scene and the people around me who need and support me as much as I do them."
