This weeks guest is a force for positivity. People like him are what make rave communities in different parts of the country exciting and fun. Vibrant even.

This  is an entirely acid (think 303 sounds from acid house at 174+ BPM) drum and bass mix dedicated to the Viva Acid crew in Chicago. Viva Acid is a cultural, social, and musical festival across select areas of the city that features multiple club nights that explore the history of this iconic sound, live panels of cultural mainstays in the rich music scene in Chicago. 
They also feature speakers, film, production workshops, and advice on networking in the city. Here are some of the featured topics: “Claiming Space, Shaping Culture” about how we can protext musical space and resist corporate takeover of these spaces, “Thriving Through Opposition: The Trans Experience”, and the “Ableton Playground” hosted by FEMME HOUSE.

Viva Acid occurs from Oct 2-5 2025 and will continue to run into the future. Consider connecting to the crew and lookout for recaps and recordings of some of these talks.

Please enjoy❤️
back next week

Tally G's birthday is in a few days so she threw together a mix this past week to commemorate it.  There are 47 songs for 47 years and are comprised of promos, new tracks, and older tracks.  She was really feeling this mix and hopes you all do too.  It's dark and oftentimes menacing, with bits of funk and fun to bring things back to light.  She likens it to a dystopian birthday.  Enjoy!

Subconscious - Meditate [Premiere]

As Brian gives us his third mix for the show, we thought we should start numbering them. Representing Charlotte, NC please welcome Dub Science. His  sound is rooted in cinematic tension, emotional grit, and relentless rhythm. His latest release, Seppuku, in June, is a striking embodiment of that ethos—an intense, atmospheric track that explores themes of honor, sacrifice, and rebirth through layered breaks and brooding textures. With roots in underground rave culture and a deep respect for the genre’s lineage, Dub Science brings a hybrid approach to his sets: part selector, part storyteller. Whether spinning deep rollers, neurofunk, or jungle-infused cuts, he curates each mix with intention—balancing raw intensity with hypnotic flow. You can catch him weekly on Twitch and regular appearances on the Timeless Live Mixes, Drum and Bass Proper, and American Junglist. Tracklist below.
Please enjoy❤️
Back next week
