One of the core Flexout Family and one of our favourite Artists and Producers of the Drum& Bass Community, Arkaik drops us a mix showcasing exactly why we think that. Enjoy!

FFS070: Arkaik

Here we are with a recording from the first (but certainly not last) time Kiernan Laveaux graced the decks at Nowadays back in September of 2021. In it you’ll find so much of what we’ve come to love about the T4T LUV NRG affiliate: swarming percussion, freaky and frenetic psychedelia, otherworldly groove, a captivating sense of narrative, and so much more. 

This mix is a two and a half hour segment from her closing set, after DJ Voices and Azu Tiwaline earlier in the night. Packed to the brim with moments of tension and release, it makes for one truly wild and mesmerizing ride. The home listener is likely to find it just as enchanting as the dancers did. 

Big thanks to our staff and all those in attendance on this night <3

As one of the founding members of Fog City Pack, resident of San Francisco's monthly disco party DAD, and newest resident of one of SF’s longest running fetish nights, Stank, Joe Weidman (a.k.a. Jumpr) has spent the last several years striving to create unique, inclusive, exciting experiences for the SF queer and leather communities not just as a DJ but also as the Creative Director of Fog City Pack. He prides himself on being a dance floor filler, agnostic of genre, spinning everything from sweaty bathhouse disco to throbbing techno bangers. Jumpr wants to bring the rush and keep the energy ecstatic.

This mix is downright chunky-thick with it's build of heavy bass intertwined with 80's new wave selections. It lands as well crafted with basslines nicely pairing between tracks-a moment to breathe before the next chapter of seedy, bouncing rhythm. The reflection of community support Jumpr provides is evident with this sound- while not easily defined in sound per-say, it's certainly felt through every layer of latex, leather, and mesh from listeners. 

Thanks a lot Joe, and wishing you and all of Fog City Pack the best-

Chris + Chris

An Adjustment (2015) [excerpts]

The work is in two movements - Fraying and Prolonged. The first presents a sonic object that gradually disintegrates. The second reframes this object and slows it down, so that the process of decay is frozen, and the object appears almost immortal. The work grew out of reflections on 1 Corinthians 15 and Jiang Zhi's Love Letters (2014). In Jiang Zhi's photographs, flowers are on fire, but are not harmed by the flames.
