Food Prep 007: Johnny Zoloft

"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."

“'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."

“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.

Kerrie | Live at Tresor - 14.06.2024

"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."

PlayPlay combines their penchant for percussion and bass with nostalgic samples & dreamy synths in both their DJ sets & music production. Their sound is inspired by years of clubbing, crate digging and the sounds they grew up dancing to - 90s club anthems, jungle, breakbeat hardcore, minimal wave, classic house and old school hip-hop. 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.

"This mix was recorded on Saturday morning at the Hemlock Hole, right in the center of Campout. One of my favorite things about experiencing music in the woods is the overlap of natural sounds and music, and throughout the first part of this mix I wanted to lean into that collision by layering ambient music, field recordings of regional locations (New Hope, PA, Niagra Falls, and a southern New York forest), and the living sounds of the forest around us. I've been feeling a lot of mourning and anger at the dystopian imperialist violence that has erupted over recent years, which has been making the escapism aspect of partying feel.... not good. So, I wanted to use this set to ground the beginning of the day in slow attention, careful listening to the place where we were, and presence. To me, this kind of presence is the starting point for facing the world and evaluating our roles in empire & capabilities for resistance. This mix builds up to a crescendo of euphoric, sassy midwest house music, which holds a special place in my heart and sets me free every time. I hope you enjoy the journey :)"

Campout Mix Series: Johnny Zoloft

“No planning went into this mix. Just one take recorded after reading the prompt. Recorded alone in my studio in Burlington, VT on a quiet night. I tried to not think about beatmatching. I also try to only play music I love, and I think I did that here. I enjoyed myself, which is another important thing I try to do. Here are some moments in my life that I have enjoyed greatly. 
-driving to a 24/7 truck stop diner in a snow storm in the middle of the night and writing thoughts down inbetween sips from the ceramic mug. 
-smoking a cigarette in an outhouse in the morning.
-every party that has disregarded time.
-everytime music has made me smile or gotten me so inspired that I find myself stuck in a repeating loop.”

“Geologist’s Erotic Log, Stardate 6969:

A lithophile—if literal and not biological or geochemical—is a lover of rocks as opposed to a scholar of them. I was shocked to find mineral sentience on a planet that had been mined for centuries. I wonder how many were lost to our ignorance.

They made themselves known while I was surveying a new shaft, a desirous, violent penetration. It was a delicate return of touch, skin against stone; my fragility tantalizingly clarified by their solidity. Although I pulled away, nearly ran away, I was rapt. A vibratory intensity held me, invited me deeper into their earth-dark interior with fingers traced along a precious fault line. In absent sight, I became haptic expanse, relishing my tongue against water-polished smooth and bloody, igneous scrape on inner thighs. They were pleasured too, I both flesh stalagmite and cavern. I came, a quiver; they came, a quake. As quickly they were gone into the indurate expanse at which I could only chip away. Perhaps a taste of our own medicine.”

"this transmission is a calibration device

i found it in the springtime under a shower of pink blossoms
my spirit, an ooze seeping out onto the floor
in this state of sub-being, words passed through untethered—
unintelligible, and touch was void

the device sent rippling waves through the air,
arranging it into mutating forms
they traveled inward and rebounded, inverting inside and out
wisps of feeling newly embodied pushed boldly from every pore

i watched as the shapes of people grew unimaginably
the glimmering swells were interspersed with pearls
which gradually came loose and fell
unlocked, my innermost madness unfurled into a spiraled conch

as the day darkened, the sounds became grim and hoarse
emotions scraped against each other with serrated edges
disintegrating madness into a fine lunar silt
voices came flooding, and in unison whispered: trust"

“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.”
