Campout is an experience that we meticulously curate from start to finish; finding an artist that can connect the dots and close the festival is never an easy task. When asking artists to play, we always encourage them to stay through the festival in its entirety. This is the best way to truly understand what the festival is and what the community brings. 

This brings us to @ciel_dj, who we view as one of the most talented and hardworking DJ/producers in dance music. She's put in the work with her own music but also with her community in Toronto. We fully trusted her to step up and give us all proper send off. From slamming house to funky tech house rollers, Ciel gifted the crowd the energy to make it across the finish line. The ending track, 'Right Here' by SWV was damn near perfection.

Beautiful Swimmers w/ Andrew Morgan (PPU) - 16th November 202

This is a booth recording of Huck playing the headline slot of the September 2015 edition of Midwest Fresh held at MINT Gallery in Columbus, OH.  Midwest Fresh was a series of warehouse parties thrown by a changing cast of Columbus DJ's and promoters including Jed Fenton, Kevin Brugger, Tony Fairchild, Alexi Vlaar, Brian Cheng, Titonton Duvante and Mike Amerine.  It ran from August 2014 - October 2019.

This mix is shared publicly for the first time as part of a series of interviews paying tribute to Huck and his legacy.  The first edition of this multi-part tribute will be published December, 7 2022 at https://presstest.substack.com/.

Note: The sound can be a little hot in the beginning but things level out after a bit.

Juanita's Mix 081 with Kilopatrah Jones @kilopatrah-jones

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. A quiet dancer who uses music to connect with others. 

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene? 
A. About 12 years as a dancer but 6 years as a dj. (I was a curious kid who stayed in the street)

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix is a little rude, sticky but sweet. I wanted to pull elements from my queer haitian identity and experiences as an NYC native. A lot of the tracks selected are from DJs and artists I look up to. The grooves, syncopation and cuts I mix are to paint a picture of it being 2am in the club, you are pumping & dancing so hard that you are sweating your hair and clothes out but you can’t stop because the music feels too good. In my own way if I was old enough to play at sound factory or the tunnel, this is what it would sound like!
