"This may be hard to believe but you’re not who you think you are, well you are but you used to be different.

When you were eight years old you were hospitalized for a mysterious stomach pain that was never resolved, that’s when they first implanted your device, every time you were put under after that; your wisdom teeth, your tonsils, your surgery, they’ve updated it. 1 year ago when that stomach pain came back so badly you went to the ER, that pain wasn’t sickness they made you feel that pain so that you had to get an endoscopy, so you’d be put under and they could update your device one last time activating they’re new code and putting you on this new path to fulfill some type of plot points in their insidious plan to control us all. Look around, they’ve already got so many people.

I know you feel like you and that things in your life have become so much better in unexpected ways since that time but I’m here to tell you that this is not you, you’ve left people and things you care about behind in order to live this new life. I know because I am you from the other timeline where you never got the implant at all. 

I made you this mix to remind you of who you are, if you listen correctly you can use it to deactivate your device and get back to a life that centers friendship, connection and love. I know you think you’re happy now but trust me, you have no idea how good it can be. 

To deactivate your device it’s simple, use headphones and listen to this as you fall or while you meditate in the morning. It may not work at first but the more you listen the more you’ll begin to remember and the closer you’ll get to switching back. Once you start seeing your old self in your memories you’ll know you’re getting closer. Try the meditation again, at sunrise if possible. Listen deeply and feel yourself come back into your body, it will be unmistakable. It may feel hard at first, disorienting and unfamiliar but it is you and you are amazing. It will get easier each day.

Your old friends are waiting for you, they’ve missed you and have been trying to get you back this whole time, don’t worry, they will find you and forgive you. 

I know it’s scary but you won’t be alone. 

Good luck,

You/me"

chainletter is a producer and dj whose music serves as a bridge, uniting people through collective experiences in late-night wormholes. Whether using CDJs or an unsuspectingly minimal hardware rig, the audience can expect to be enveloped by sound. Focused primarily on ambient and techno, they use sequencers and synths to make time-expanding atmospheres and wonky rhythms.

Dedicated to DIY, they have been actively involved in playing and organizing parties in the Durham, NC area since 2012. Together with a few friends, they started Triangle Rave Committee in 2019. TRC is a collective that aims to create safer dance spaces for queer and trans people, raise money for prisoners and other mutual aid projects, and provide a platform to local artists outside of conventional venues, primarily under highway overpasses and in the woods. CHAINLETTER is dedicated to advocating for increased access within the music industry for those who have historically been marginalized and denied opportunities, particularly other QTPOC.

Weaving together abstracted grooves across genre, BPM and era, Malzof’s sonic journeys intersect with realms of ambient, experimental, house, techno, and beyond. Their sets enchant the dance floor with blissed-out beats, freakyfun vocals, and environmentally enhancing percussive soundscapes, ultimately showcasing their passion for storytelling, sampling, community collaboration, & dancing.


Residing at the intersection of house and techno, DETOUR is a Pittsburgh collective that creates visually and sonically immersive experiences. DETOUR seeks to act as a junction where both seasoned and newly-interested enthusiasts of house and techno can come together for an experience of both sight and sound.
