The Point of No Return

Philipp Otterbach is a man who likes to collect, collate and construct sound, refracting experiences into deep pulsing resonances. One of the earliest residents of Düsseldorf's infamous Salon des Amateurs way back in 2004, Philipp ran the Substance parties with Vladimir Ivkovic for many years. His organic, idiosyncratic sound was subsequently found pressed to black plastic on Essen’s Grokenberger Records and, a little later, The Hague’s Tour Messier label with his latest release finding the light on DT fave Knekelhuis. These days Philipp might be found behind the decks of a party in Berlin, such as the Griessmuehle or ://about blank and will be joining the DT crew at DT Camp this August. We stole some time with Philipp to talk about his work, his sound and his upcoming projects and releases.

Bake with Wonja - 28 September 2020

Juanita's Mix 31 with Pure Immanence @pureimmanence

Q. How would you describe yourself?
Kiddo: Oh I don't know, I'm pretty introverted. I usually let Nick do this type of stuff. 
Nick: I guess we could say that we like to think of ourselves as more of an idea or a concept than a group? 
Kiddo: Yeah, we're what you'd call a classic collaboration. 
Nick: A duet?
Kiddo: Yeah, we like to harmonize. 

Q. How long have you been a part of the NYC music scene?
Kiddo: Combined, we have over twenty years of experience smoking weed in the NYC music scene. 
Nick: Yeah, I don't really have much to add to that. 
Kiddo: I think the figures speak for themselves. 

Q. Tell us about this mix.
Nick: So we were definitely channeling deep mycelium mesh-network vibes with this one...
Kiddo: Yeah, like, à la carte offerings from the Wood Wide Web. 
Nick: Full-spectrum multi-tempo psychospiritual Dr. Quinn journeywoman type jams for your autumnal vibe re-alignment.

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: SWOON (@eternalswoon)

Favorite Quote: “They [friends] also, and this is really my point, can swim in each other’s imaginations. Neither one imitating the other, but bathing in the other’s words they return back to the shore, to the work, shaped by the beloved’s waters."
—Imani Perry on James Baldwin and Lorraine Hansberry’s friendship in Looking for Lorraine

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Move towards things that amplify your energy, away from those that drain you.

Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

My name is Taylor and my preferred pronouns are they and she. I live in Brooklyn! Fun fact about myself… I used to teach hip hop dance in the early 2000’s. 

How is everything going with you right now?

It’s going pretty well despite the circumstances, which of course are not ideal. Been navigating a lot of personal challenges lately, from a break-up to family drama, but strangely I feel ok, like all is looking up….something in my attitude has shifted

What are you missing from pre-covid life?

Dancing. With people. More than anything.

Any fun goals for winter time?

3rd installment of Dance Floor Epiphanies for Resident Advisor is happening, and I also have an ambient release coming out for the boutique cassette label, Enmossed. And I want to finish my memoir! (maybe it will actually happen this time). 

Who currently inspires you music-wise?
ASC (always). Europa. Ma Sha Ru. May Vary. Abby Echiverri. E.C.C.O. Pugilist. Air Max ‘97. Eris Drew and Octo Octa. Datach’i. H.E.R. Noumen. And I’ve been kind of obsessed with heavy bass music lately like Ternion Sound and TMSV. those lower chakra vibes


4 djs you would want to see on a lineup for the first party post covid asap?

Oh god this is hard. Umm… I’m thinking about the DJs whose sets just tether me to the floor and make me really fucking jump-up-and-down happy:

Erika
Danny Daze
Ben UFO
Eris Drew

What other activities have you dipped into with a break from djing?

Writing and Spiritual Channeling / Energy Work. Deepening into both of those practices.. 
 
Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation & you give me a track (youtube links plz)

Favorite weird drug experience?

The very first time I took acid I accidentally took too much and merged with the soul of another human until we no longer could distinguish ourselves from one another. I saw his third eye blinking on his forehead, as real as an actual eye, and then we became telepathic, and then we astral projected as one entity into the godhead. It was cool.

Why do you think it's important to share music?

I believe it’s the most unifying force in the world. It’s the most human language, and gives us access to our emotions in a way that brings joy. And it connects us beyond the mind… it connects us through the body, and through the heart. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Cohesion & Unification. A return to how things used to be, without trying to emulate the past too much. Meaning, a sense of PLUR that permeates not only the dance floor but the social spaces, online and physical.

Taylor Bratches - 111˚F

Listening closely. An independent platform for contemporary culture.
