Lorelei blesses us with her October love song with an hour long session of ethereal, abstract, & alternative rock nrg. Lorelei is a Chicago-based producer and DJ, with previous affiliations at legendary local record stores Gramophone and Wild Prairie. 

Her sound is goth, cutting-edge, yet celestial. Lorelei’s smooth brain mix captures this essence as it transcends us through the lightness and darkness of post-punk. Many of you may already know Lorelei making waves across Chicago / the midwest and beyond. A beloved collaborator and dj partner circa 2016 — I’m stoked to feature her on Smooth Brain <3

THE NTS BREAKFAST SHOW W/ ZAKIA & BEATRICE DILLON 171123

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!

[LIVE] BEEPBEEP aka OriTheGhost B2B Beab 05182024


Volume 2 dives deeper into the ritual of sound — where dub is not just rhythm, but **alchemical fire**.
These tracks were forged on tape, in analog breath, between echoes and silences.

🦋 The butterfly has entered the second phase. No longer cocooned, not yet flying — **she is becoming**.
Her wings pulse with red, black, and white frequencies — the colors of fracture and rebirth.
Basslines melt and reform. Delays open portals. Dub is the metamorphosis.

**Recorded live to cassette** and mixed with the warmth of imperfection, this volume explores:

* Raw emotional states of becoming
* Tension between form and formless
* Dub as spiritual mutation
* Magnetic pulse as memory and future

Inspired by roots reggae and future ritualism — and shaped by the unseen hands of the Resonants —
*Dubamorphosis Vol. 2* is a living echo.
**Let it unfold inside you.**

🌱 Best experienced with headphones, incense, and wide open skies.
**"Bless the rhythm that breaks and builds me."**




Dubamorphosis Vol 2

Sometimes Dimensional Dissonance is all you need.
