412DNB Mix Series: #023

MICHAEL KAISER

412DNB's studio mix series mashes down the dance each month featuring finely curated selections from across the drum and bass spectrum mixed by 412DNB / FUZZ / BBT DJs and special guests across the local and national D&B scenes

Operating on the outskirts of the Drum & Bass scene, Michael Kaiser is primarily known for his various forays into house, techno and bass as a part of the House Plants music collective in Pittsburgh.  While always playing loosely with genre, these parties have greatly expanded in BPM range and vibe over time, often ending up in jungle territory. 
Michael continues this trend here by mixing up a wide spectrum of sounds in this meditation on his love of Jungle & DnB.

Distant Signals 030: Razrbark

A low frequency pulse reverberates under the dense canopy.
Overgrown technological remains scattered across the lush landscape.
Derelict fragments woven through the alien trees ~ all emanating sound to the same rhythmic flow.
The waves wash over your body inviting you closer.
Your sensors light up as you approach the source.
~Please re-calibrate monitoring device for full spectrum mind/body transmission~

Michael Kaiser is a DJ and DIY party appreciator native to Los Angeles and based in Pittsburgh.
Equally at home digging through stacks for old gems or soaking up the spectrum of modern electronic music, he is driven by uncovering and highlighting the connective threads running through a diverse range of sounds and rhythms.
He draws from techno, house, dub and the many shades of UK bass music, often venturing outside and in between and playing with an aim of balancing experimentalism with the cultivation of a happy dance floor.

This mix explores intersections between organic and synthetic and the junction of serious and playful.

Distant Signals 036: Michael Kaiser

"Beneath the cold and iced ledges inside a cavernous cutout through the mountain, an eternal flame blazes and heats the air. The heat circulates the cave. A nearby river splashes into the cave, periodically hitting its flame, never enough to put it out, but just so that it conducts a great steam. A deep reddish hue glows from the flames, blurred with the steam, its bright halo spills out of the cave. 

Beings across the starscape know about this spot. They fly, swim, teleport and dance into it. The sounds of their movements, murmurings and exhales become one with the cycle of heat ensnaring the space.

A large stick brought into the cave by wind strikes the wall, which carries the vibrations and sounds of the heat, pressure, cold waves, and steam cycling. Its sound reverberates from the atoms of the heat and echoes on the walls of the cave. The sound carries across the cold water channel, outward into the depths of the unknown.

Listening through a seashell on the other end of the ocean, is a being playing in the sound, called to hold up the shell to their ear and hear how it was forged. The creatures of the ocean swim through certain sections of the water, where they know the transmission will be reverberant. Like swimming through radio signals, the path from the cave is well traveled.

You are now traveling through the water’s transmission carrying the sound."

Malzof is a DJ and Intermedia Artist based in Pittsburgh, USA and a resident of Sweet Abyss. Malzof plays abstracted grooves- weaving together melodies and rhythms across genre, BPM and era into sonic journeys. Spanning ambient, experimental, broken beat and multiple genres of house, techno and beyond, their sets enchant the dance floor with blissed out beats, fun and freaky vocals, psychedelic percussions and environmental sounds.

With a creative background in video production, live visuals and installation art since the late 2000s, Malzof has taken inspiration from their live performance style to inform the ways in which they DJ, make music and engage with the audience. Across mediums, they are inspired by the synesthetic connection between seeing, hearing and feeling; natural and industrial elements; and exploring community histories of liberation and joy.

Distant Signals 055: Mimi Zima

“Void Archive Year: 15
Anglo Year: 2178

This earth year began as Duke Barron Dumbarton II (DBDII as he prefers) transmitted his spirit and mind into another WWE Champion Wrestler thereby prolonging his rule another 60 years. His most pressing earth challenge remained his search for potable water for the manicured lawns of his relatives. 

He commissioned a spacecraft hastily titled "Sergeant Arthur MacBadass" for the regrettably named "Doritos' Cool Ranch Cool Space Mission Sweepstakes IV".  By design, the craft could travel to numerous galaxies, but poor navigation and the in-flight conflicts generated by DBDII for his amusement hindered any measurable progress. The craft was thereby confined to traveling among the moons of Jupiter. Ganymede in the Jovian system was encrusted with wudder/ice, rendering it impenetrable, and no craft dared enter Europa after DBDII's physical altercation with the Intercontinental Planetary Naming Convention (IPNC). The IPNC took particular exception to renaming all known Milky Way Galaxy moons after DBDII's favorite luncheon meats and cheese spreads. 

DBDII also despised the word Europa because the Earth Zone of the same name had been long overtaken by African super scientists. These superior minds harmonized sound waves to dramatically increase technological development in the now dominant global South. New Ghana's space program alone colonized entire galaxies with her peaceful inhabitants and sublime Sly and Robbie recordings broadcasted among the stars and planets. Ultimately, "Europa" was one of many multisyllabic words forbidden in DBDII's presence.

I digress. Badass was left to search either Io or Callisto due to a bitter dispute from the two Blackrock executive's daughters on board, Braighlynne and McKennah. The transmission features so many biting, pressurized snares attempting to shield the bickering, no speech from the craft was quite audible. Callisto's atmosphere also distorted the communique with its pulsating sound waves ever which increased in frequency as the crew sat prone playing Valorant hurtling toward the moon's core. The scientists originally charged to decipher the cacaphonous mess were unmotivated because, after 17 terms of inbreeding and corruption, DBDII's only available currency was illusory promises of back rubs written on cocktail napkins. 

While "Doritos' Cool Ranch Cool Space Mission Sweepstakes IV '' will become DBDII's greatest success in 120 years in office, only 40 gallons of water were able to reach Earth. Actually, these 40 gallons mostly evaporated upon reentry into the atmosphere. DBDII was no less delighted that the lawns of his progeny could be gently moistened for about 6 afternoons. 

So the only remnant of the mission is the mix you hear today. Are the changes reflective of heavy wind patterns or McKennah's violent instrument operation? Are the squelches from Callisto's many HAM radio hobbyists? Do the metallic sounds symbolize dialog with the wise Callistonians or the dying screams of the Badass occupants? Do the final 5 minutes of the recording indicate the onboard computer's joyous discovery of perfect lawn care H2O deep within the planet? 

It is left to the discerning Distant Signal ears for interpretation.”

Associate is a sentient being located in the USandA capital, Washington, DC. He can be seen in his verdant neighborhood, brooding about with headphones, probably greeting a dog and scowling at its hooman. Musically, he is a polymath. Raised on WGPR, WJLB, 89X, WJZZ, WDET, and Electrifying Mojo, he really has no music core at this point. Groove, weird, swing, and sometimes minimalism are a feature but not a trait. He hosts parties as Midwest Plenty once he has saved enough disposable income set ablaze on luxury items for his treasured guests. Additionally, he plays party music with the group Midnight FM. Well, if you consider Joy Division party music, that is what he plays.

Distant Signals 060: Associate

"Drifting through the endless void, I find solace in the quiet chaos of time and space folding in on itself. My spacecraft Paradox glitches constantly, sending me hurtling through centuries and galaxies at random, but I’m honestly into it. Each jump brings me to new moments in time, and each encounter with objects feels like a fleeting ripple in an infinite ocean. I've met sentient beings, sharing brief moments with them, then always leave, watching their timelines fade into the distance as Paradox carries me to another era. Timelessness has become my constant companion, offering me a peace that no anchored reality ever could. 

Right now, I’m reflecting on a stunning exoplanet I just briefly visited. Like on many places with existing life, the beings there seemed to be in synchronized movement to a rhythm coming from the planet’s core, being piped in from a network of presumably other nearby planets, communicating like the trees from that one planet that ate itself. To my surprise, I suddenly had a deep craving to be in sync with them, but their shared rhythm was floating in and out for me like it was occasionally being smothered by a soft pillow. And sometimes it would echo all around me, ringing out of sync with their communal timing - but I moved to it nonetheless. The other beings didn’t seem to mind that I was out of sync, and we all moved together, as I embodied this lonely echo in my temporary quest for connection. As I left a bit later, floating on toward wherever I was headed next, I tapped into my own familiar inner rhythm, untethered and on the loose."

With releases out on labels such as Sorry Records, Clasico and Worst Behavior, as well as a slew of self-releases and collaborations, PlayPlay has been slowly and steadily amassing a thumping discography over the years.

Based in NYC, PlayPlay currently hosts two parties: Breaking Capacity, dedicated to all things breaks, and Satisfaction of What’s to Come, celebrating the many iterations of house music. In their home state of NC, they co-host PARADOX, a party exploring the timelessness of early rave music.

Lyon's bass connoisseur Somilat takes over the July DVS show

DVS presents SOMILAT 7.3.2025

"A utopian,
bright striver, turns their dial,
hears woven, strange sounds.

In resonance they
vibrate to the transmission
and recognize that

every return
implies the journey before:
past adreads present.

Time glimmers ahead,
but also trails their escape,
reaches, pulls backward.

A stubborn relic,
internalized deserving,
haunts like history.

Our listener leaves
their old self behind, shedding,
cutting time's chords;

broken rope rings out:
no person earns punishment
nor deserves reward.

Throw stones at the walls,
striking old sequestration ––
do you hear great music?

Build bridges, not walls,
crossing inherited rifts ––
do you feel deep love?

Thanks for pulling me into the Distant Signals universe :) recorded

“You head down from the installation into the glacier, breath fogging the air. You hear echoes of splintering icicles reverb back to you from under a frozen lake. Deep unseen movements in the dark vibrate the walls as you go deeper into the ice. Underneath the loudspeakers of the installation above, you hear whispers and distant murmurs below.

You follow the whispers, turn to page 56.
You go back to the installation, turn to page 89.”

“Recently, I’ve been really inspired by bass music in the 80-85 (or 160-70) BPM range that shifts between slow and fast registers, opening up space for a deep interior journey and for a driving, percussive dancefloor experience alike. Much music in this space that I’m drawn to has a visceral, haptic, and earthy quality -- body music for mental landscapes. 

The mix is conceived as a journey into a densely foliated forest of ever-shifting dimensions, drawing you deeper and deeper into its cavernous shadows and spectral pockets of light. Dewdrops shiver on pillowy moss ,flanked by the hungry mouths of carnivorous plants; burly vines dangle low and heavy under velvet leaves. Mysterious and heretofore unknown flora abound, beguiling you with their sensuous textures, suffusing the humid air with smells both luxuriant and noxious. Finally you emerge into a softly-hued meadow, your journey into the darkness having brought you closer to a sense of calm.”

Distant Signals 082: DJ Papaya

"The context:
I am alone. I am found. I died alone. I never thought I’d be found. I am overwhelmed by memories of a dystopian existence on a collapsing planet where evil took over and subsumed good. All of the kindness evaporated and was swallowed by greed. Memories of my past life occlude my consciousness causing confusion between modes of time like a mirage. Is it the past, present, or future? I can no longer tell.

A journey through being:
Confronted by the pain of knowing but trying to exist and embrace being in the world. Did I give up too quickly? Did I fail to change reality? What did I sacrifice in order to function and live a worldly existence like everyone around me? Blinded by hedonism, the collapsing of the mind and soul into the throws of desire left me empty. I gave up. I lost myself. I returned to the comfort of despair. It’s throbbing. To live without hope is to live in despair. Was there a reprieve from it all? Distractions, pleasure, and attachments turned into a vicious cycle of yearning and loss. Accepting impermanence with a half-open heart. It never got better. It just got worse. Functioning with an ever-growing sense of doom. And now I’m here. Alone. All I have are my memories. But existing in confusion from when these memories took place. Introspection with escapism outside of time. The vicious interplay between existence and non-existence. I am left with nothing."

Shanti has made textured waves in Chicago’s techno scene with her curation of dark, sinister, and ethereal soundscapes. Music has always been a means of coping with the otherness and hybridity Shanti experienced throughout her life. She has been deeply moved by the transcendent ability of music to express concepts, states of consciousness, and conflicting emotions. Shanti’s sets weave a story of the simultaneous despair and yearning that are intertwined with the human condition and illustrate an intentional trajectory through combining and cultivating surreal, atmospheric, and haunting sounds.

Enamored by the liminal dynamics of sound, she cohosts Otherworldly Ambiguity with Scum.ee –an experience that is centered around the phenomenon of existing in between and outside of pre-existing concepts and rigid categories. She is also a member of techno collective Research & Development and hosts a monthly radio show, “Liminal Radio” on WIIT 88.9 FM featuring thoughtful artists at the core of Chicago’s underground music scene. Shanti has had the privilege of warming up and closing out dancefloors for incredibly inspirational artists such as Rrose, DJ Nobu, Ø [Phase], Aurora Halal, Mozhgan, Lady Starlight, Black Light Smoke, Esther Dune, Zenker Brothers, Noncompliant, Xtin, and more. She has had the immense pleasure of conjuring spirits at Chicago’s most beloved clubs such as Smartbar, Smoke & Mirrors, Podlasie Club, and several underground gatherings.

Experiencing music outside of the confines of a club or the underground is extremely important to Shanti as she had initially discovered her favorite artists through online podcasts and radio. The universalizability of podcasts and radio enable music to be experienced by more humans situated in different contexts. This is why she has contributed to many notable online mix series and radio channels. Her mixes have been featured on The Black Lodge Radio, SutroFM, Mutant Radio, PPRZ, Death Decay & Magic, Braid Records, Low Visibility, Dance All Day, and m50’s etc radio among other podcasts and shows. This past year, Shanti has expanded her surreal storytelling beyond Chicago by playing in Amsterdam, LA, Detroit and notable Midwest festivals such as Minnesota’s The Great Beyond and Madison’s Musique Électronique. This Halloween, she will be playing at Chicago’s notoriously dark music festival, Sanctum.

Distant Signals 084: Shanti

“First, a sensationless void. “Something’s missing… but what?”

She drifted in brilliance and liquid time—wherever she looked, she saw gelatinous infinity. Light refracted light refracting farther than her eyes could see. Trying to speak, her voice broke into symbols, shards of glass spilling through her teeth..

"ᜉᜇ̢ᜅ᜔ ᜈᜃᜆᜒᜃᜒᜋ᜔ ᜈ ᜃᜓ ᜅ᜔ ᜃᜎᜌᜀᜈ᜔ ..!"

Centuries pass in flickers, suspending time into sago. Identity dissolves completely. Without meaning to, she has become the thing she once carried, minus the electric razor.

3061. A memory tickles her ear: “Sure, longing is painful, but it might be the only thing you can control.” A thousand lives blink at once. “Lounging mice swim freely when full." Pleasure, grief, terror, joy—erupting through her, prickling her skin. “Lo mein, kain na.”

Far off, a glistening hall of mirrors, within mirrors—and at its center, a familiar figure.
She lifts a hand. It answers.”
