Smooth Brain Sunday 11 (Nov 2023)

This mix pushes my practice further than I believe I've ever gone before, folding rock, ambient, spoken word, and percussion into a post-western story of planetary exploration.

Lately, I've caught myself digging deeper into my past as a percussionist and writer. I played drumline (tenors) from 2009-2013, built instruments and wrote songs in a DIY/Stomp-inspired band called Groove (2013-2017), and trained across marimba, steel pan, vibraphone, and timpani. I also wrote a series of seven science fiction books in high school fueled primarily by Avatar the Last Airbender and queer escapism. The series was called Matter, and allowed me to craft worlds, personalities, heartbreak, and outlining (without me really realizing it) the belief that, collectively, the people we put ourselves in relation to help us build the world we want to live in.

Because of this, this set starts with a 1991 rendition on "The Songlines" from the Robert Hohner Perc. Ensemble—from a gift my percussion teacher gave me around 2010 or so. From there, all tracks come from the 21st century (there is good to be found here!), including two new pieces from myself that score an upcoming film I'm making titled Prednisone. The goal is to launch you from land to sky to space, see some planets, find some havens, heal wounds, purge toxins, and return home.     

                                                            — Endash, 2023

Smooth Brain Sunday 12 wsg Endash (Dec 2023)

January is the start of a new year: a reset, fresh chapter, closing the door on what no longer serves you. A chance to set a timed measure of your goals and set routines to live the best version of yourself. 

This mix depicts the spectrum of feelings and internal conflict over the course of the year that still lingers in your body. Unexpected love, joy, and wonder will come your way. So will disorder, pain, and death. It is not easy to cope with changes - you will sometimes resort back to old ways. Find the balance of accepting this while letting go to be who you want to be. Most importantly, give yourself flowers while you can still smell them!

Smooth Brain Sunday 14 (Feb 2024) - Luv Mix

“I was thinking about how I feel new during the spring season. Spring brings about conjures of youth, of color, and different scents, sounds, and textures in natural surroundings. I wanted to offer a dynamic mix of ambient tracks, experimental, and music from the 12th century Europe which have all brought me much joy over the years. I offer the mix with the intent that listeners find rejuvenation and something of hope and newness during their spring season.”

Tracklist: TBA

Kiernan Laveaux is a connective rhythmic energy conduit & ecstatic beat conductor from the Great Lakes. A boundless ball of discordant energy, she’s an adventurous spirit - conducting the vibrant forces of our world that are transmitted through the unbridled passion contained within her DJing.

As a “one-of-a-kind American DJ”, she’s best known for her arcane technical skill, propulsive dancefloor catharsis, & hyper-creative approach behind the decks. Her style is all-embracing & expansive, but unified by a restless sense of ecstatic momentum, dissonant euphoria, & kinetic exuberance - all woven together by entrancing pulsations of uninhibited groove & alchemical sensation. “CDJs become like instruments in her sets; her liberal use of FX, pitch-bending, & jog-wheel trickery invokes the dubwise production techniques of Lee Scratch Perry, Dennis Bovell, and Adrian Sherwood, as well as DJ heroes Larry Levan and Ron Hardy. Technicolor wormholes of distortion and delay stretch out from percussive passages as she mixes, in a way that feels freaky, playful, and purposeful - honoring the past, while gazing wide-eyed into the future.”

Inspired by forces of universal chaos & the innovative, experiential visions found within midwestern electronic music, she's since embarked on a lifelong journey of channeling binary dissolving phenomena throughout our known universe via her unbridled musical vitality, her debut collaborative “Pancake of the Infinite” EP with JZKL, long running residency on The Lot Radio, & the multifaceted Sweet Abyss imprint.

Originating from within Cleveland's multiversal DIY underground, she materialized through the rhythms of life & her loved ones - soaking up influence in everything from the enchanted & irreverent joys of disco, the raucous mayhem of hardcore punk & noise gigs, the spatial manifestations of dub, nonlinear revelations & outer reaches of free jazz expressionism, bewitching industrial conjurations, lineages & contrasts of freeform DJing across the world, & dancing with many weirdos in rooms full of fog, neon mesh, & skate ramps.

Manchester-based Michael J Blood is as prolific as he is enigmatic, incorporating a wide variety of styles and modes into his productional work and DJ sets, focused on the deep and soulful end of things. He owns and runs the Blood Inc. record label.

He will be appearing with Samizdat at Sommerloch in Amel, Belgium on August 15th, all narcotic vapours, smoked-out production values and anti-establishment values.

This mix is his version of the summer. Equal parts epic, breezy, engaging, driving and sun-drenched. Essential stuff!
