Campout Mix Series: Sobolik

“It started a few days ago…any speaker you approach starts playing grainy, barely audible dance tunes. Sound bars, bluetooth and car speakers—you tried turning them off, synching and un-synching, unplugging them, and nothing has stopped the music. At first it was easy to brush off, but it’s too frequent to not take it personally. Yesterday you walked back and forth under the grocery store speaker twenty times, and each time you did, the music was there.

Now you’re lying in bed and it's happening again. This time out of your phone speaker. You pick up your phone and a prompt arrives: BEAM ME UP? There are two buttons under the question: “Yes” and “Yes.” After a sigh and a passing moment of fear, you pick a “Yes.”

Like in a movie, everything is suddenly white and you’re floating up. As you rise, the music gets louder and more defined, you’re approaching the source—and then, a moment of clarity: this is a space rave you’ve always hoped for.

You find yourself on a dancefloor in what might be a space station and the vibe is everything you need. The beings you find yourself dancing with, whoever they might be and wherever they might be from, are your community now. They’ve all gathered here to find the same thing you have: a rave utopia you had only dreamt of. “

Distant Signals 073: Lite Drama

The first Campette rode through the hottest heatwave California had experienced in recorded history. Even in the miasma of 110°F heat, I and the whole Envelope Soundsystem crew worked dutifully to keep the system tuned and the woofers alive. (At certain points, we erected a water-filled kiddy pool and were running the mixing desk with half our bodies submerged in the water and turgid plastic.) This set melted together just before sunset following an afternoon spent working in that headache-inducing heat. It's my interpretation of 'cvnty daytime summer camp' — a departure from my usual mood, but one I was drawn to by Campette’s curation of the trans-created haven that is Tan Oak Park. Part records and part digital, this mix comes laced with the manic delusion necessary to keep going even when everything around you feels like it's about to go up in flames.

Mixed with a DJM-900NXS2, 2x Pioneer PLX-1000 turntables, and 2x CDJ-2000NXS2.

Mix post-processing by Way.

💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 9/7/24 between 2-4am💥

We previously wrote that this guest is a "bass wizard and sonic sorcerer" - this holds true enough, but we might need to brush up on our astrophysics to accommodate ADAB's expansive, space-time-traversing flow. A seasoned selector with an incredible range of emotive and kinetic rhythmic directions, ADAB's deft dancefloor work is trained by a zig-zagging dance music trajectory from front-of-house to behind the scenes, front door to behind the booth, from DIY corners to polished clubland. They have brought a real artist's vision to Philadelphia's roster of talent, and it's a pleasure to welcome them back.
