This is a suite of mixes created for the endemic world of 2022, when we have so much from which to recover, an audio analogue to the recent advances in psychedelic-assisted therapies to recover from grief, trauma, loss, anxiety, despair. Each mix has its own flavor and approach. I hope one or more resonate.

DBR = MD(M)A = serotonin bomb to dissolve trauma
Tremulant = Golden Teacher 🍄 = grounding anxiety with earth/water medicine
Conception = Acid = reframing despair into 3rd eye clarity and universal glory
The Fractal Lanes = K = dissociating & ungripping depression with euphoria and alien weirdness
Innerflight = Ayahuasca = journey to transform grief into wisdom

Sonic Apothecary: spaceotter's Endemic Medicine Suite

This edition of our mix series features Seattle's Spaceotter. A longtime fixture and favorite of the Pacific Northwest scene, Mr. Otter reflects on a journey of isolation and pandemic transformation in this stellar mix. Spaceotter will be joining a stacked lineup at Monkey Loft on Friday May 6th including Mike Devlin and Adlib along with the legendary DJ Garth.

Innerflight Broadcast 144: Spaceotter

Sometimes you realize that it's burn day and you have WAY too much leftover meat in various coolers at somewhat questionable temperatures. So you pull the grill out to the bar, and fire her up. Other campmates bring more food, you get out the megaphone and feed the neighborhood all day. If you're lucky, your favorite dj from home (and role model camp creator)will have camped with you that year and magically have 12 hours of songs with words on them AND be in the mood to not leave the decks all day. History will be made and a favorite tradition formed. Minds blown, songs sung at the top of many lungs, and much dust kicked up by many boots.

Years later you'll want to start a soundcloud page for camp, and maybe drag your feet for a while, but along will come a mix, slaved away on throughout a pandemic, by the very dj that set the tone for that magical experience. Part of a series representing our remergence from said pandemic, and a certain psychedelic therapy that feels like a romp around the playa. So you’ll start the soundcloud and just like the Annual Impromptu Questionable Meat Bonanza, a new platform for us to express ourselves will be created under the guidance of the same dj who’s already had such an indelible impact on our culture. 

We're thrilled to have @djspaceotter be the first mix we post here, and look forward to sharing more mixes from our other crazy talented camp mates, and friends!

DBR ❤'s: Spaceotter

Space Medicine is the practice of Deep Organic Music on astronauts in outer space. Tremulant is the application of science and technology to the prevention or control of exposure to the hazards that may cause space wanderers ill health. Tremulant works to ensure that people in space work in a safe environment while experiencing the freshest sounds from planet Earth.

"Medicines come to us in different forms: the lullaby of a parent entity, gravitational symphonies of planets, the shrill fire of a solar call to prayer. Sometimes, a space voyager happens upon a satchel of medicines on an obscure watery oasis: the elemental music of combined species' intelligence transmit through a dolphin's song, the throb of a dance floor bass, shifting desert winds, or a mycelial network of nodes. This mix explores those elemental medicines provided by our current terrestrial sojourn, in a time when we are continually awakening to their power and urgency." -Spaceotter

Space Medicine Feat. Spaceotter

"Being menial, how can we let vastnesses strike through 
Our fastened nerves, or see — being the ordered smallnesses
We are — the whole spill, squeeze, and boiling without
Losing heart, mind, or being
Insinuated — hugged or struck into the unwanted
Northless utmosts, the Southless balconies between
Gables of dust, rotundas of sun? Can it be our comfort's

Derived from our dumbness?"

- Alice Fulton, "The Fractal Lanes" from Powers of Congress

The deep playa is a direction, not a place. What began as a bike ride into dusty darkness became something else altogether. This mix is in memory of all the times I needed to ride into trackless oblivion to get the fuck away from other people, and more importantly, to get away from my own idea of who I am.

RIP Thich Nhat Hanh

The Fractal Lanes

A tribute to the utopian vibes of the early 90s...my generation's visions of a better world. Those dreams are still extant, latent in the current world. A conversation between the current moment and the past. (Reissued...original iteration was on the Conception Soundcloud page which I didn't want to pay for anymore.)

ConceptionCast1: spaceotter ("Erstwhile")

I long to enter the magic with you.

Raised by drag queens on acid house and disco between Detroit and Chicago, spaceotter moved to the West Coast and found his voice DJing at radical faerie gatherings, Burning Man and underground clubs and warehouses in the Pacific Northwest.
