Deep Breakfast 197 - David Grunzweig

I recorded this mix a few months ago as a personal mix. I wasn't sure about when to release it but it seems like a nice mix for home listening and that's what we all seem to be doing at this time. Exploring ambient, dub techno, ambient techno, and house. This mix was designed to capture all the atmospheric and cozy feelings of winter time.

Winter Mix

When I was 11, my dad and I took a summer road trip through Idaho and Montana.
While driving through the mountains, we came to such an elevation that even in the
middle of July, a snowfall began. We stopped the truck at a small lake along the road
as the large flakes gracefully descended. From here, we watched as the snow landed
and evaporated into a thin mist resting on the surface of the water - transfixed by the
strangeness and stillness of the moment. As I journey back through memory, I am
transported to a vision of him standing by the water, camera in hand, quietly observing
the moment.

“When you approach something to photograph it, first be still with yourself until the
object of your attention affirms your presence. Then don't leave until you have
captured its essence.”
― Minor White

Oakland-based Tape Ghost, aka David Grunzweig, is an architect of emotional spaces. As both an ambient and techno producer, Tape Ghost’s identity is grounded in a complementary duality. Inspired by Detroit masters like Carl Craig, Robert Hood and Plastikman, Tape Ghost was born as a minimal-leaning techno project in 2015 with a focus on live performance. Adept at curating both live sets and DJ sets, his presence has been felt in the Bay-Area, where he’s thrown parties through the collective Asterisk and supported artists like Call Super, Dr. Rubinstein, Dax J, Mike Gervais, dBridge, and m50.
In 2016, Grunzweig adopted a second project, becoming one half of Night Sea: a dub-tinged, ambient techno outfit. What bridges Grunzweig’s two projects is his purposeful approach to music, which, in his own words, aims to “open a channel for direct emotional connection.” Like a sun fading on the edge of the horizon, his productions are imbued with nuance, stillness and depth, captivating those who listen. Through intentional production and a growing body of work, Tape Ghost has emerged as a vital presence in the burgeoning landscape of electronic music.

AYLI Podcast #103 - Tape Ghost

Tin Man is an artist in the truest sense of the word. Over the last decade, the man born Johannes Auvinen has explored an ever evolving sound palette that touches on house, techno, and ambient. Much like his namesake’s character in the Wizard of Oz, he has been on a mission to find his true self, except this Tin Man’s medium has been music.

Taking influences from “Chicago and radio pop rock as well as melancholic UK electronics and Sahkö” Tin Man’s extensive discography also explores less sublime and seductive sounds on labels like Keys of Life and Acid Acid, and plenty of raw sonics on albums like Sacred. This modern acid master performs live on 303s, 707s, and plenty more bits of hardware, always creating textures soundtracks using a range of FC and skills built up over the last decade.

Tape Ghost X Jason Worden | Fault Radio AV Set in San Francisco (December 19, 2020)

Christina Chatfield makes music to lose yourself in. Equally poised for turning up a club floor or soundtracking a melt session at home, Chatfield’s vision of techno pushes boundaries aside and seeks the outer reaches. Born in the Midwest, Chatfield has made the Bay Area her adoptive home. A lifelong musician, she studied synthesis at Berklee College of Music, leading towards her career as a professional sound designer. Her music upbringing has surely influenced her sound, mellifluous and effortlessly kinetic designed for consumption and expansion at once.

Her psychedelic acid techno sets - performed live on an array of gear - are familiar to dancers in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and beyond. A resident of the Bay Area’s venerated As You Like It event series, she’s a consummate live artist, each performance tailor-made to its own specifications. Christina has released 12”s on Midwest staples Detroit's Beretta Grey and Chicago’s God Particle. Chatfield has been busy, she just released an EP for As You Like It Recordings and early next year her debut album, a cosmic exploration of ambient techno moods, will be released on lauded New York imprint Mysteries of the Deep.

Christina Chatfiled X Loaf Baker | Fault Radio AV Set in San Francisco (December 19, 2020)

Raised in small town Indiana on a musical diet of 80s synth pop and punk rock, Noncompliant soon found barnyard raves and warehouse techno parties and (as DJ Shiva) quickly became a fixture of the fabled 90s Midwest USA rave scene.

Two decades and a name change later, she is at the top of her techno game. Mixmag named her one of 2017’s Top 20 Breakthrough DJs. She owned a packed and sweaty Boiler Room during Movement Detroit, turned in mindblowing mixes for Slam Radio, Discwoman, and Resident Advisor, and quaked some of the world’s most respected dance floors like Smartbar Chicago, Amsterdam’s DeSchool, Concrete in Paris, and Berlin’s legendary Berghain. 

Her festival appearances include Unsound, Red Bull Music Festival Paris, Movement Detroit, and While United Queer Festival. Her releases and remixes on labels like Valence, Argot, Flash, and Dark Entries have pounded sound systems worldwide. At her core, she is a die-hard techno fan with a deep love for music and a drive to continue honing her craft as a DJ and producer in order to share her favorite music with people on dance floors everywhere.
