Peter Marks & Spencer Miles @ Canyon Vibration 2021

Made this breaks mix while navigating some life transitions. While the tracks have some tough edges, there's a feeling of energy aliveness that resonates with me in this moment. Here's to living life at 135bpm :)

To mark the release of Peter Marks and Sappho's Lime Appeal record out today on Bottom Forty ( bottomforty.bandcamp.com ) we ring in mix number 101 with Peter Marks himself !

@petermarks is the co-founder of @occasionvibration, which puts on some of the most talked about dance music events in Portland. He’s also a political activist who’s built digital tools for Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and some of the largest labor unions in the country. The intersection of these two worlds is explored on his podcast “Rhythm Nation”, which features conversations with politically influenced musicians and musically influenced activists. 

Today, 9/4/2020, sees his debut release on @bottomforty with @sappho-presents-chingo. Their track “Lime Appeal” creeps in around the 9 minute mark of this hour long odyssey of tripped out dub, breezy house and breaks, 303-laced electro and low-slung disco. Comment on any track you would like him to id! For more on peter’s music and activism projects, including a music-community organizing initiative for 2020 Oregon ballot measures, visit his website at https://petermarks.us/.

The Prey, based in Portland OR, is known mostly for deep and minimal grooves, with occasional forays into disco and 90s house. By evoking vulnerable animals that form tight-knit communities to defend against predators, his moniker serves as a metaphor for collective strength and resilience.

Chanticleer Trü would like you to know that “RNB ain’t no joke.” As frontman of Portland, OR retrofuturist electro-soul adepts Chanti Darling, Trü drinks deeply from the sacred founts of Disco, Boogie Funk, and the dizzying universe of house music. Teasing out the essential filaments, Trü weaves a sound that nods to the past as it blasts into the future; urgent, irresistible, and absolutely of the moment.

When living in quarantine, I find that music is my only escape.  Lately, I have been pulled towards live instrumentation with a dash of house, which being from Chicago, is the sound of home.  Even though we can not dance together, I hope these sounds give you a bit of reprieve from the day to day uncertainty.
