I enjoyed listening to this first set I ever made recently (4/22) with my new friend Christian Poccard under my new DJ name and with SoundCloud.

The Perdición Library Audit Sessions 
-- Join me on a non programmed alphabetical mixing assessment of unknown tacks in my music library. 

*Listening Notes:  These are not entertainment "sets." They are work "sessions." --Aesthetic segues are frequent but not assured as I am not using headphones to mix nor booth monitoring --Do not be alarmed at times to hear on these session recordings the following: 1)multiple cueing attempts, 2)equing experimentation, 3)mixing errors and retries, 4)cold endings, 5) dead air. --Once I know the track I move on to the next one which takes about 2-3 minutes.  Unless I'm enjoying it or became otherwise occupied.  As alluded to, if the next track will not distort by BPM adjustment in order to properly present, I will do so.  If it will, I will do quick fade out of current track and start next track.  If I don't like current track, there will be a cold ending before next track.  If I delete current track from the library, there may be up to 10 seconds of dead air before music resumes so please be patient.

Note: There are occasionally periods of dead air for longer than 10 seconds as I take notes following a track.  Be aware that on playback on SoundCloud, I have noticed the system can be triggered to end the track if the period of dead air is long enough.  Simply scrub a few seconds ahead until the music resumes. I have noticed as well that when listening at a high volume level on my iPhone I will get a warning message that the volume should be turned down and sometimes but not all the time the phone will end the recording after this warning message.  Simply go to SoundCloud and restart the recording.

Perdición Library Audit #7: Datt Ditty! Thru Dreams

A beautiful remix of Christian French's song "thank god."

In Christian theology, perdition is defined as a state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and impenitent person passes after death.  Its origin is actually from the Latin 'per' for complete destruction and "dare" meaning to put.  So you may ask why my name is in Spanish.  A few years ago,  I was hanging out with my friend Max, a good-looking, exceptionally styled, well spoken local business manager from Columbia.  While sharing music together, the name came to me.  We both laughed then agreed that the name could be quite the brand.

Welcome everyone, to my world.  I tell people never to say you’re sorry unless you do something wrong; get to know me, then you’ll really be sorry!  You’ll also find me here as DJ David Marshall, the moniker for my previous professional identity.  There, you'll find a set of my music that was broadcast from a then little known vintage record store called "Iris Records" in Jersey City, NJ.  The style is underground international, running the gamut from garage and deep house to progressive and rave.  What no one knew was that the store also had some DJ remix services and import gems like a rare monster mix of The Fine Young Cannibals, "I'm not the Man I Used to Be".  Indeed.  All my best to Iris Records for awakening me from the dark spell under which I'd fallen.  It may have lifted but the remnants remained and grew the tendrils which formed the matrix of who I have become today.  Friends, there's no easy way to put it- djPerdición is a trouble-maker, a nuisance of the highest sort, relentless and clever. What captures his imagination is the darker side of human nature. This DJ seeks to access what lies deep within you and will settle for nothing less, lest you be punished for your refusal to comply. Perdición will mold you into a loyal and lasting follower, a participant on the dance floor of redemption, transformation and smoldering sexuality.
 
There are many people to thank for helping me to get here: Caril and Tom at Vinyl Connection record store, Boston- Love to you both for changing my attitude and teaching me.  Caril, thanks for mentoring me.  You scared me at first but I now know there was a method to your madness.  Thank you, Tom for help with finding the classics. James Fournier- Thanks for being a friend and foreshadowing a life to come.  To Bill Nelson- Thanks for tolerating an unruly youth and for your hospitality. To Boston Beat  Records, Tower Records, and Newbury Comics- You rocked!  To Deirdre DaGata at The Boston Record Pool, "I hope you like drama", too! Thank you for getting me to play promos.  In appreciation of Daryl and Bob of the late Youkon Trading Company in Providence, RI for my first residency holding a dance floor.  DJ Denis Sargent, formerly of Boston's Ramrod- Rivals make the best teachers.  To DJ Joe Despinosa:  You played my first circuit party in Gotham.  Where are you now? Thank you Peter Tanico, for letting me in the booth and the village madness.  In memory of Louis Morheim, owner of the late "Heartbeat Records".  Thanks to David at "Rebel Rebel"- Your descriptions were legendary. To Brian Landeche, owner of the late Splash bar- Thank you for giving me a chance.  No more drink tickets for me, right?  Marlon Owens- You are in a better place. Thanks to Tommy the Tiger, good friend and fellow DJ- You are missed.  Thanks for being my friend, Susan Morabito.  Many thanks to Richard Smith at The Eagle NYC- You believed in me, Richard Sabala lit the way- We miss his lighting magic.  My best to New York's LGBTQ Center and center dances committee- You are sorely missed.  Best to good friend C. Grados- I won't soon forget. Props to DJ Joe Gauthreaux.   Thanks for “Give It” (A little more time).  We tried that Pup, maybe another time.

PERDICIÓN PREMIERE

[An Interview with djPerdición]

[Brilliant yet of questionable moral repute, djPerdición, nicknamed "The Villain" is a wild card, a DJ on the loose.  Perdición continues to gain momentum–like a tumbling avalanche or frightening tornado.  Despite the DJ's nightly gambits and other plotting, you'll have the time of your life and be "beaten" to within inches of it.

It was hard to maneuver my way through the Rites Ball 2021 NYC pre party mayhem.  I held out a fifty and cornered a cute, curvy blond who had the following to say,

"This DJ has a mean streak as wide as the Grand Canyon.  He takes you on a sonic ride and fucks with your head...and it feels so good.  And it's like pure adrenaline, scary and beautiful.  I like a guy who makes good on his threats."

"What?" I asked.  Then she ran off.

Afterward in the ensuing crowd, I made my way to an empty lounge.  I saw small billows of smoke leading me to the DJ.

"Sorry, I couldn't find you," I said out of breath.

"Never say you're sorry unless you do something wrong.  Get to know me, then you'll really be sorry," he chuckled and then said innocently,

"I'm really very gentle–with gentle people, that is." 

"What's your secret?" I asked.

"I use a phase-shifting flange mixing technique I learned on quartz modified turntables.  I rarely use sync, it fucks up the sound.  I program music while performing-- I'm spontaneous but never random. Think of driving.  You can be taught a skill but not the instinct and knowingness."

With his classically trained pianist's ear, Perdición's musical sensibility has the power to demolish the competition.  "Listen to the words," admonishes the DJ.  "They're there for a reason."

"Tell me about your name and how it came about?"

"I was hanging out with a friend from Columbia, brainstorming.  I (Perdición) am like a vessel with no origin and no destination.  I ever move but am not really there.  My dance floor is a means to the only place one can go.  That is within.  And the name sounded cool at the moment," he smiled.  Max and I had a good laugh about it.

David's ability to people watch and deliver musically is unmatched.  He follows his instincts with skill befitting a reputation for luring his audiences into an altered state and uncertain fate.  His counterintuitive style has emerged as one of the foremost in tech music with intelligent conceptual execution and a keen attention to people.  Says Perdición, "The crowd should take the DJ on a journey."  A lot of the job is people watching not jumping up and down like John Travolta like some of my dubious contemporaries.

His first residency was at the notoriously named Club 9-11 in Chelsea, MA, followed by a 3 year residency at the late leather man's dance club- The Yukon Trading Company in Providence, RI.  It was there that Marshall found his footing and began to rise.  There, the DJ wowed crowds in this sleepy college town, promos in hand of Nu NRG, Trance, Techno, and Progressive house.  The young Perdición created a new dance floor for forward thinking elders and snatched curious young men from the grip of local clubland mediocrity.

"Tell me about the Yukon", I asked.

"It closed years ago, probably the last of the leather clubs with a dance floor.  I loved it of course but I don't have a shred of evidence I ever worked there because they never billed the DJ."  Everybody said my bosses were assholes but funny, I was the one with the gig.  They all really just wanted my job.

Perdición was invited to New York City by then longtime friends Steven Hanson and NYC Eagle's former manager, Richard Smith, partner of the late lighting legend Richard Sabala.  In NYC venues include: The Eagle (old and new), Splash, 10th Ave Lounge, Hangar, LGBTQ Center, Recovery NYC, and Harry Winston.  However, these define a past in need of drastic movement forward.

After years of hard work in the big apple, Marshall caught the attention of world renowned DJ-producer-record label owner Georgios Pallikaris (G.Pal) of Utopia Music Concept, Best Radio, (Greece) and Swift records.  Marshall continues to work on production with the musical legend.
