Torn Hawk (@lukewyatt) is no newcomer…he’s been lurking in the corners, creeping in and between various arts worlds for well over a decade: spoken word slice of life narrations as heard on NTS Radio and @the-trilogy-tapes; more guitar-oriented song structural work; extensive videography (@ppu Party Volumes One and Two along with music videos for Torn Hawk as well as @feelmybicep , @xosar , and more); and more beat-focused work as is featured here on his 12” for Fixed Rhythms. 

Euphoria in a concrete rainforest. The joys of plumbing the depths of your own inner darkness. 80s synth sounds with soaring guitars and police sirens and rhythmic vocal snips. Distorted bass line bombers. S l o w e d down breakbeats. Offkilter, stomping grooves for the seasoned freaks. Mid-tempo heavy hitters fit for those thirsty for slime and hungry for grit. Step inside and get your fill!

Torn Hawk "Flip To Raw" FRS031

SPF 50 (@professional_music) aka Stephan Kimbel has been working the club circuit in NYC and abroad for years now. His approach to techno often incorporates breakbeats and a psychedelic attention to sound design details. He has released killer 12”s on Dzungla, @bliss-point-sound, and his own label, @professional_music . @fixedrhythms is now excited to present his latest 12” EP offering–”The Rush”.

The titular track, an acid breakbeat techno party starter for the heads, absolutely breaks down the door of the A-side. A2 “Deep Woods” descends into tasty, wiggly, spacious techno. B1 “Kinetic Ritual” is just that…you have arrived in the Zone, a dark corridor leading straight to One and Everyone. Then B2 “UV Got Me Faded” whips you wonky with a modular drumless wobble slap. This is well-crafted dance music that can plunge any crowd into the deep end.

SPF 50 "The Rush" FRS033

For the past few years, Daystar (aka @darianmusic) has been releasing top notch club tools, tracky techno, and amazing ambient music. They’re a staple of the NYC underground for good reason. They know that more is not more…Daystar hones it in and is choosy about what they release. Fixed Rhythms is excited to present Daystar’s vinyl debut of four techno journey-cuts full of funk, soul, and energy. 

The A-side tracks have a bit more of a jackin techno wormhole affect, while the B-side leans into some auxiliary percussion and strings / winds / horns settings on the synths, displaying their Detroit techno as well as House influences proudly. Upbeat, groovy basslines. It’s up-tempo, but it’s not banging you over the head. Great variety of techno tunes to turn a party out and have the heads leaning over to peek at the center label. Hot item!

Daystar "Guidance" FRS032

Gladstone Deluxe is one of the most exciting musicians in the US right now. They make futuristic, deep, percussive yet smooth techno, deep house and electro. They also play timbales in NYC queer and trans salsa band Las Mariquitas, and are a frequent collaborator with fellow East Coast sonic trailblazers Kiernan Laveaux, Johnny Zoloft, and Mira Mira. They have released on Black Techno Matters, Data Disk, Misc, Innocent Music, How Things Are Made, and now Fixed Rhythms is excited to add to the Gladstone lore with their new offering, “No Haterade EP”.

A1 “Cleanse” is zippy tech-y house…think groovy, up-beat, sexy, like something you’d hear in a Titonton Duvante set. A2 is a remix, “Teakup - Where’s My Snare (Gladstone Deluxe Remix)”. Now the EP takes a turn towards psychedelic electro. Spacey trippy vocal manipulations, swelling deep space gravitational waves swelling and resolving. The B side opens with the “No Haterade” track. Arpeggiated electro that slaps with swagger. The final track is a longer, 9 minute driving deep housey techno tune. A bass line that you never want to stop, luscious pads, brain-tingling pings, melodic percussive synth runs, and a touch of acid.

If Gladstone is not already on your radar, take heed! Big tunes here!

Mixes

Very excited to have @boninaaa in on the mix for our 43rd episode of FRiends and Family. Bonina is from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and has been working as a DJ since 2019. She's a resident at the Batekoo, Silicose and TUMULTO parties in BH,
actively researching and experimenting with bass and beats from urban
to peripheral rhythms of the Global South permeating between references to House, Ghettotech, Club, and Funk.

Gabriela shows the listener rhythmic connections that you may not have been aware of or paying attention to. She blends raucous party with galaxy dance brain knowledge. When I first put this on, within the first 2 minutes I had to exclaim out loud. Seriously, check this. 

Also check out her mixes on @jeromemixfileseries , @functionfm , @bruta4200 , @abeeerta , @love_paranoia , and @t_e_i_a !

Bonina: FRiends and Family Ep. 43

So excited to have @ducktrash in for our 44th episode of FRiends and Family. For the concept behind the mix, take it straight from Duck:

"This mix illustrates alien abduction as a metaphor for the transgender experience. It's about being abducted by aliens and being stuck in transit going someplace far away, similar to the feeling of being trapped in the wrong body and unsure of the destination.

Born into a matriarchy of two immigrant grandmothers, the 'alien' abduction with an uncertain fate reaches to my machinations of the position my elders were put in as children too. My grandmothers' parents were sold the American Dream, but at what cost? The USA doesn't give a flying fuck about immigrants or about trans people... Will an alien just come carry me away already?

Harsh textures and ethereal sounds of yearning characterize this techno mix. Of course sprinkled with moments of laughter and terror, because when we can't cry anymore, we must laugh. Please enjoy this journey into the unknown, and thanks for tuning in <3"

Duck Trash - FRiends and Family Ep. 44

For episode 47 of the podcast series, we have @sassmouth in for a stellar mix of predominantly electro with some acid, breakbeat, and a touch of UKG. Sassmouth is a DJ based in her longtime adopted home, Chicago. She playfully mixes all kinds of records with a focus on techno, house, acid and electro sounds. She created her label @god-particle-vinyl as a homage to this style of DJing- a place for friends to showcase music that connects the dots between all these styles of dance music. She is a rave mom and real mom and co-runs Walking and Falling- a mentor program for woman and non-binary music enthusiasts that want to learn to DJ. If you don’t see her in the booth she is very likely dancing her ass off by the front left speaker.

Torn Hawk is no newcomer...he’s been lurking in the corners, creeping in and between various arts worlds for well over a decade: spoken word slice of life narrations as heard on NTS Radio and Trilogy Tapes; more guitar-oriented song structural work on Mexican Summer; extensive videography (PPU Party Volumes One and Two along with music videos for Torn Hawk as well as Bicep, Xosar, and more); and more beat-focused work as seen on Unknown To The Unknown and as is featured here on his 12” for Fixed Rhythms. Euphoria in a concrete rainforest. The joys of plumbing the depths of your own inner darkness. 80s synth sounds with soaring guitars and police sirens and rhythmic vocal snips. Distorted bass line bombers. S l o w e d down breakbeats. Offkilter, stomping grooves for the seasoned freaks. Mid-tempo heavy hitters fit for those thirsty for slime and hungry for grit.

Kitty Spit: FRiends and Family Ep. 59

Torn Hawk is no newcomer…he’s been lurking in the corners, creeping in and between various arts worlds for well over a decade: spoken word slice of life narrations as heard on NTS Radio and Trilogy Tapes; more guitar-oriented song structural work on Mexican Summer; extensive videography (PPU Party Volumes One and Two along with music videos for Torn Hawk as well as Bicep, Xosar, and more); and more beat-focused work as seen on Unknown To The Unknown, Not Not Fun, and as is featured here on his 12” for Fixed Rhythms.

Euphoria in a concrete rainforest. The joys of plumbing the depths of your own inner darkness. 80s synth sounds with soaring guitars and police sirens and rhythmic vocal snips. Distorted bass line bombers. S l o w e d down breakbeats. Off-kilter, stomping grooves for the seasoned freaks. Mid-tempo heavy hitters fit for those thirsty for slime and hungry for grit. Step inside and get your fill!

RYS Premiere: Daystar - EverLast [FRS032]

https://darian.bandcamp.com/album/guidance

or the past few years, Daystar (aka Darian) has been releasing top notch club tools, tracky techno, and amazing ambient music. They’re a staple of the NYC underground for good reason. They know that more is not more…Daystar hones it in and is choosy about what they release. Fixed Rhythms is excited to present Daystar’s vinyl debut of four techno journey-cuts full of funk, soul, and energy.

The A-side tracks have a bit more of a jackin techno wormhole affect, while the B-side leans into some auxiliary percussion and strings / winds / horns settings on the synths, displaying their Detroit techno as well as House influences proudly. Upbeat, groovy basslines. It’s up-tempo, but it’s not banging you over the head (although the A-side does keep the intensity high). Great variety of techno tunes to turn a party out and have the heads leaning over to peek at the center label. Hot item!

Premiere: Daystar - Jack Machine [FRS032]

For episode 60 of our FRiends and Family, I'm happy to have a pillar of the US underground @djmitchsmith . Mitch lives in Denver, vis a vis Florida. He's a real Florida dance music enthusiast and has shown me so much of the IDM-miami-bass-techy-housey fusion that the state has gifted to the world of dance music. He djs alongside @wngdu (see FRiends and Family Ep. 21) in Denver as Loudmen. They've brought @billconverse, @jonnyfromspace, DJ Fitness, and others into Denver, and they have huge plans (can't reveal yet) for Denver this summer. So if you're in the area...TIP!

At TGB last year, we had a conversation about the importance of sexy groove. This has it all. Acid, hand drums, psychedelic vocal fuckery, basslines, touch of breaks....come onnnnnnnn, tap in!

TC Premiere: Daystar - Spiral Loop [ Fixed Rhythms ]

For episode 61, we have OKC close scene co-conspirator @crkdjw. I met Garrett when he came to one of our Critical Mess parties a while back. I didn't know who he was, but I just saw the way he was dancing and really listening to the music that he knew what was up. While trying to not make too eager of moves, I went up and told him we gotta chop it up. 

When I think of the most exciting DJs in OKC right now, Garrett is always there in my mind. He has an appetite for brain-scratchy sounds, drummy techno, with a dose of minimal inflections...and there's always excitement selection-wise given his broad taste in music outside of the dance floor. What we're all about! He's been really exercising some restraint lately, and this mix shows where he's been at in his bag lately. Excellent music, enjoy!

SPF 50 aka Stephan Kimbel has been working the club circuit in NYC and abroad for years now. His approach to techno often incorporates breakbeats and a psychedelic attention to sound design details. He has released killer 12”s on Dzungla, Bliss Point, and his own label, Professional Music. Fixed Rhythms is now excited to present his latest 12” EP offering–”The Rush”.

The titular track, an acid breakbeat techno party starter for the heads, absolutely breaks down the door of the A-side. A2 “Deep Woods” descends into tasty, wiggly, spacious techno. B1 “Kinetic Ritual” is just that…you have arrived in the Zone, a dark corridor leading straight to One and Everyone. Then B2 “UV Got Me Faded” whips you wonky with a modular drumless wobble slap. This is well-crafted dance music that can plunge any crowd into the deep end.

PREMIERE: SPF 50 — Deep Woods [Fixed Rhythms]

https://gladstonebutler.bandcamp.com/album/no-haterade-ep

https://soundcloud.com/gladstonedeluxe
https://soundcloud.com/fixedrhythms

Gladstone Deluxe is one of the most exciting musicians in the US right now. They make futuristic, deep, percussive yet smooth techno, deep house and electro. They also play timbales in NYC queer and trans salsa band Las Mariquitas, and are a frequent collaborator with fellow East Coast sonic trailblazers Kiernan Laveaux, Johnny Zoloft, and Mira Mira. They have released on Black Techno Matters, Data Disk, Misc, Innocent Music, How Things Are Made, and now Fixed Rhythms is excited to add to the Gladstone lore with their new offering, “No Haterade EP”.

A1 “Cleanse” is zippy tech-y house…think groovy, up-beat, sexy, like something you’d hear in a Titonton Duvante set. A2 is a remix, “Teakup - Where’s My Snare (Gladstone Deluxe Remix)”. Now the EP takes a turn towards psychedelic electro. Spacey trippy vocal manipulations, swelling deep space gravitational waves swelling and resolving. The B side opens with the “No Haterade” track. Arpeggiated electro that slaps with swagger. The final track is a longer, 9 minute driving deep housey techno tune. A bass line that you never want to stop, luscious pads, brain-tingling pings, melodic percussive synth runs, and a touch of acid.

If Gladstone is not already on your radar, take heed! Big tunes here!

PREMIERE: Gladstone Deluxe - Cleanse [Fixed Rhythms]

For episode 63, I am very excited and honored to have a special mix by Oklahoma City major head Stin from @chatpile . This is just over an hour of a musical history of all shades of underground freak rock/punk/metal from Oklahoma City. Beginning in the 70s and ending with our current moment. As someone who stepped into this chronology as a fan and fellow noise-maker in the late 00s/early 10s, I personally found it invigorating to understand on a deeper sonic level where the sounds were coming from that we were all making. Today you will hear people talk about the loss of regional sound identities, but I’m hoping that the act of drawing from the ghosts of your local alternative spheres has not completely died out. After listening to the mix, it seems like those connections you find with the roots of a scene happen in many different ways and are often unconscious. For example, playing in bands with people slightly older than you, finding the same records at the local shops, attending gigs together and soaking up the same influences. There are bands, people, and labels mentioned in here that make up the core of my music-loving DNA. There were so many older freaks who were taking care of me as a teenager while I was out on a school night at The Conservatory (legendary OKC venue) catching music from around the world at wildly cheap door costs. And then I imagine that happening to those who were older than me when they were kids…a beautiful freaky cycle. 

I can’t mention enough how much Stin is a pillar of our local music scene in OKC. He ran a tape label called Nerd Party, which he mentions. @dusthousestudio is where I and so many people in the City recorded our records (Chat Pile still records there!). I wouldn’t have seen so many awesome bands that came through OKC in the 00s and 10s, if it weren’t for Stin and his friends nudging me to go. The Speed Falkon tape that he put out (he plays a track off of it) is one of my all-time favorite OKC underground installments. I played that tape OUT. And I just checked…it’s not even listed on Discogs. There are some real delights here that you won’t hear outside of Stin’s bedroom. Truly honored to have him open up his media collection to us with this Okie curatorial lens and for the bits and bobs shared in between the music. I hope you enjoy, and since he says he’s down, we will definitely be inviting him for another episode of specialties. But first, sit back and enjoy the sounds of the OKC underground as selected by Stin!

Stin from Chat Pile: FRiends and Family Ep. 63

For episode 64 of FRiends and Family, we have long-time listener, first time caller Language Models (@t1ck). Language Models is a raver and fan of Fixed Rhythms who lives in Milwaukee, WI doing DJ stuff at Cactus Club and teaching stuff at UWM.

With this vinyl mix, clocking in a little under 2 hours, LM takes it into lots of zones. Twists and turns exploring a surplus of possibilities with touches of honest cynicism and a couple reorienting deconstructions. Lots of questions posed, and lots of hope.
