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.

Hello Twilo-goers and PERDICIÓN friends and fans!

The writing of this is both a very joyous and thought-provoking occasion.  Joyous because we're revisiting a legendary super club and ominous because we lost a former member of our clubland community on Christmas day- NYC club promoter Michael Alig.  I will not confirm or deny any personal feelings regarding his life or death.  Needless to say, he will be missed by some but not by all.  It is a gross understatement to say that Michael Alig was controversial.  He brought 'extreme' visibility to gay club life and both boosted and damaged gay scene credibility while simultaneously doing harm to others, leading to his manslaughter conviction and imprisonment for 17 years.  For more information on Michael Alig, I suggest the movie "Party Monster", the documentary "Daze of Glory" and Michael Musto's writing in "The Village Voice".  Rest in peace, I guess.

I hope you've been enjoying the promo.  We've had a great response to it.  Now it's show time!  Welcome back, PERDICIÓN fans and followers!  Did you find your X-stacy?  Just don't do too much!  Thanks to the DJ's of Twilo who have inspired me and who brought pleasure to many listeners and dancers:   John Digweed, Paul van Dyk, Carl Cox, Robert Fauver, Richie Hawtin (aka Plastikman), Danny Tenaglia, Merritt, Jeff Mills, Steve Lawler, Paul Oakenfold, Pete Marvelous, Pete Tong, DJ Dan, and Sven Väth, and Saturday night resident DJ, Junior Vasquez.  DJ John Digweed once said, "It's definitely one of those legendary clubs that if you didn't get a chance to go, it was definitely a shame, because the sound system, the setup, the lighting, and the whole vibe was truly amazing."

Regrettably, I wish I had played that Phazon state-of-the-art sound system!  That's why I'm doing this series, "TWILO FOREVER".  This is my way of imagining what it would have been like today.  Additionally it's an encomium to clubland for its quick return.  There was a Twilo in Miamai that happened a few years after Twilo in NYC but let's do one Twilo at a time!  Twilo's doors were open from 1995-2001.  The story goes that the club was eventually closed due to an expired "certificate of occupancy".  Obviously, great club equals 'lot's of drugs'.  Ecstacy was big back then and there were 2 deaths from it at Twilo (that we know of).  One was dismissed from club liability because the drugs were not purchased at Twilo.  People please: Do not buy your drugs at your destination club because if God forbid you die, you're taking that club with you.  No joke.  Then there's a story about private ambulances used by Twilo to deal with sick people.  Who knows?  One way or another, Giuliani and his henchman were determined to close Twilo (as they did Splash bar and others) in the name of cleaning up New York City.  But then again greed tends to be the ultimate demise of these things, and authorities are the maggots that help with the disintegration.

But for now, let's focus on the good.  It's almost New Year's Eve 2020.  What are you doing, my good children?  I know everything's closed but that doesn't mean you can't be joyful.  Like one of my recent tracks on "Evolve NYC 2021, set #4"...

"Drink, dance, fuck, smoke a little bit...."

Thanks for your listening, support, and kind words.  I hope I one day have the honor of playing music for all of you at NYC's next super club!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

XOXO,
Always,
djPerdición

PERDICIÓN: TWILO FOREVER: OPENING NIGHT

[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.
