Hosted by Colm Quinn, The CSIS Podcast dissects the big (and soon-to-be big) stories of the week in U.S. foreign policy and international affairs.

The Readout

It's only been three years since I relocated from South Carolina to Los Angeles, and what a ride it's been! From the warehouses and clubs of LA and San Diego, to the California deserts, playas, and mountainous indian reservations...As a DJ making my way in the underground electronic music scene out here, I immediately fell in love with the inspiring and innovative sounds I'm regularly exposed to through this SoCal burner community. The beautifully supportive and collaborative world we are a part of out here never ceases to amaze me. I've been fortunate to be given the opportunity to produce and perform music for such welcoming and enthusiastic tribes, and am honored to be affiliated with and/or represented by several extraordinary collectives and labels (including DeepAura, Noise Revolt, Triptych, Wülfpack, and more). I discovered Wülfpack early on through several of my dear friends that are represented by the label, including Disco Aliens and Drew Blyther. After going to a few of their live shows, I quickly became an adamant supporter and have thoroughly enjoyed following their progress. Over the last few years I've gotten to know the members of Wülfpack and am happy to be affiliated and considered part of the Wülfpack family. This recorded Wülfcast is very special to me, and I welcomed the opportunity to go through such a journey of my sounds as an artist and pay homage to the many artists old and new that I follow and admire. In this mix, I was really feeling the experimental deep and dark creature hour styles, the tribal groovy psychedelic, the wild chuggy drivers, and the magical otherworldly vibes... From my heart to yours, I hope you enjoy this Wülfcast and let it take you into the resonant and weird world of which I connect to and express my soul. -Crescendoll

Already it was deep summer on roadhouse roofs and in front of wayside garages, where new red gas-pumps sat out in pools of light, and when I reached my estate at West Egg I ran the car under its shed and sat for a while on an abandoned grass roller in the yard. The wind had blown off, leaving a loud bright night with wings beating in the trees and a persistent organ sound as the full bellows of the earth blew the frogs full of life. The silhouette of a moving cat wavered across the moonlight and turning my head to watch it I saw that I was not alone—fifty feet away a figure had emerged from the shadow of my neighbor’s mansion and was standing with his hands in his pockets regarding the silver pepper of the stars. Something in his leisurely movements and the secure position of his feet upon the lawn suggested that it was Mr. Gatsby himself, come out to determine what share was his of our local heavens. I decided to call to him. Miss Baker had mentioned him at dinner, and that would do for an introduction. But I didn’t call to him for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone—he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and far as I was from him I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward—and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.

When I came home to West Egg that night I was afraid for a moment that my house was on fire. Two o’clock and the whole corner of the peninsula was blazing with light which fell unreal on the shrubbery and made thin elongating glints upon the roadside wires. Turning a corner I saw that it was Gatsby’s house, lit from tower to cellar. At first I thought it was another party, a wild rout that had resolved itself into ‘hide-and-go-seek’ or ‘sardines-in-the-box’ with all the house thrown open to the game. But there wasn’t a sound. Only wind in the trees which blew the wires and made the lights go off and on again as if the house had winked into the darkness. As my taxi groaned away I saw Gatsby walking toward me across his lawn. ‘Your place looks like the world’s fair,’ I said. ‘Does it?’ He turned his eyes toward it absently. ‘I have been glancing into some of the rooms. Let’s go to Coney Island, old sport. In my car.’ ‘It’s too late.’ ‘Well, suppose we take a plunge in the swimming pool? I haven’t made use of it all summer.’ ‘I’ve got to go to bed.’ ‘All right.’ He waited, looking at me with suppressed eagerness
