Take us to Ohio 2 @johnnyzoloft , loving this mix :-)

“'The Worst Band In The Universe' is a children’s book by author and illustrator Graeme Base that I had when I was a kid, and I loved it. It followed a ragtag band of outlaw musicians that lived in a universe where improvisation and new music were outlawed - only the traditional songs were allowed to be played. Despite the law, the band wailed hard and wailed freely, so they had to flee and were exiled to seedy, backwater planets where the underworld thrived in all its filth. There, they could rock. This is a recording of one of their live performances, given on the planet Ohio #2, played mostly on autosynthers and splitwangers, with a little bit of drump and snoogel being played as well. It was recorded by a being whose name is a type of screech that I cannot transcribe, and it was blasted off into space by that being’s sibling, Georgie. Now, it is available for your listening pleasure."

Johnny Zoloft is a DJ, organizer, and other things as well. Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, they reside in Pittsburgh, PA in a house on the side of a hill with a nice view of the river and the train tracks. Along with MIRA MIRA, they co-organize the UHAUL Disco party series, which has been throwing lo-fi hi-quality DIY raves in Pittsburgh since 2019. In addition to performing on the decks as Johnny Zoloft, they have played drums & percussion in a number of ensembles, and they were part of a sick band called Datamaster that released a cool tape in 2022 called “Seldom Seen.” They enjoy robot sounds, free jazz, being non-binary, wearing a skirt, wearing boots, playing the drums, dancing, and making spaces for queer people to do whatever they please.
