💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 1/1/25 between 1-3am💥

It's a real joy to be able to say, at the end of each year, something to the effect of "wow, that was a wild ride!" and reflect on a roller coaster of highs and lows, new insights, perspectives, constellations, and lessons learned. And indeed, 2024 has been a joyous adventure of bright triumphs to celebrate and knotted gnarls to untangle. There's a quiet sense of precarity simmering under all things when one operates in the cutty twilight zone of the barely-legitimate real-deal underground, so it's always truly precious when we have a chance to notch one more soaring night together and to celebrate a big loop through time, despite the feeling that the clock is ticking. So after the last grains of temporal sand have slipped out of the hourglass of 2024, join us to flip the whole thing over, inside, and out, and take the first steps into 2025.

Alternatively, if you're not into the foofy auspicious stuff like spiritually traversing the sand of time, and tracing meaning and destiny through solar and sidereal time and blablablabla, just come through to shake your ass, pop some bottles, hoot and holler, get a sloppy post-midnight new year's kiss, and kick off 2025 with fun and flair.... so come n' get it!!! We're thrilled to celebrate another HAPPY NEW YEAR with you!!!

We'll have Bounce House's reliable, adventurous residents taking us into dawn - familiar faces and seasoned selectors with the right sensibilities for surprise and celebration: that's Furtive, DJ Anarres, and Nail Salon, getting your asses moving across a free-form timetable, and Emme and Masina keeping those rowdy asses managed.

As a long-time events & community organizer, Malzof is also well-known for their public art, projection art/installations and musical output.

Sweet Abyss resident Malzof has been DJing for a decade, playing their own signature style of transgender dance music. As a life-long music collector, their sound archives go deep. Heavily influenced by IDM, Ambient, experimental music, breaks, sampling, and dance music of all kinds, they are not afraid to make it blend. They see DJing as an extension of all the work they do- to bring people together, to encourage moments of release and joy, and to support people in showing up in their true expressions as resistance against hegemony.

You may have heard Malzof play a freaky downtempo set at last year's Sploosh alongside Yessi, or perhaps somewhere across the region - from just about everywhere in Pittsburgh to Philly, NYC, Ithaca, Rochester, Montreal, Detroit or on your radio waves across the world. Malzof brings their creative vision and multimedia art practice into the ways they share sound.

Netherlands legend DJ Marcelle's sets are as eclectic as they get. At this year's Horst Arts & Music, she brought two hours of experimental punk, dub, techno and everything in between.

Our description ahead of the party below, and it was everything we hoped it would be: sexy, romantic, sweaty, intimate, but we know they could've played for another three hours.  Let's call it part one...to be continued...
"We were so impressed by the b2b set that aka-Sol and como se DJ  played at the last Dripping club night at Nowadays – dubby, mysterious, sexy, full of a patient tension as if they could do this all night – that we wanted to hear it again, on the intimate scale of Fiber, in this space with our favorite freaks."

2 Hours with the master NAP aka Daniel Rincon in the box with yours truly, this mix quite simply takes a trip, doesn't get any more crystal clear than that!

The recording is from a night at Ohm back in March put on by Kontinuum and New World Dysorder. I remember feeling so comfortable with the space and the crowd who were up for good sound system pushing fun going freely through everything from d&b and elektro to freetek and jungle. Also shoutout to Ohm for always providing a solid vinyl setup!
