𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝘿𝙅𝙞𝙣𝙜?
I dabbled once in a blue moon. nothing serious. Mainly at afters on my friend’s CDJ-1000s. The first mix I recorded for someone was for the Don’t Trust Human’s Only for Robots series. I received a reaction I was not expecting. This is what pushed me down the road of production. 
 
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨?
Too many to name. My record collection varies from 3am peak time electro, to deep house, to hip hop, to smooth harmonica bangers... etc. I have never understood genres. My music tastes are “yes” and “no”. I will give a shout out to Sassmouth (Sam Kern, Chicago) and Loren (Lauren Vellucci, Detroit). It was the first time I saw them spin that had me pulling my hair out to the point of inspiration. I will always remember that evening (and morning lol). Their set made something click musically for me.
 
𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙮?
My dream DIY project is a place where everyone can reset. Whatever that is. Maybe it’s sunrise yoga before hitting up the smoothie bar. Coming for mimosas/brunch and ordering something off the grill outside, all dietary restrictions being met. Now, we dance to house sets while people paint on canvas, sell their jewelry, meet, pick each other’s brains. Collab. At night there would be two rooms. One is for proper get down raving. The other is an ambient room, maybe covered in shag. There are futons and pillows. Take a nap. Chill out. Recharge. Get a snack at the snack bar or a free massage from the masseuse that is there. Yes it is the music but it can be so much more. Bring as many art forms together as possible. Water each other; grow. 
 
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 (𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨) 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙜𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙚?
Pardon my language, but less of a circle jerk of people booking each other. There is a lot of talent outside of chicago, in it even, that chicago does not know they want to hear. 
 
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛?
Nothing. We all sometimes ponder this question. There are things we would like to change about the past but at the same time if I changed my past I cannot  say with certainty that I would be right here right now, and I like me now.

Smart Mix 54: @follidh 

follidh is equal parts folly and ceilidh. exemplifying a penchant for both, this Chicago-based purveyor totes their multidisciplinary talents in this week’s smart mix 054. recognizing no bounds in their preferred realms of electro/breakbeat, they have released numerous mind- (and back-)bending inventions on Aathee Records and host their own exploratory mix series, "dont trip and follidh." effervescent in nature, follidh champions inclusivity, innovation, and imagination in the spaces we call home.

follidh is a Chicago-based multimedia artist and Daniel Nally’s brainchild. 

follidh embodies the savant of all hypnotic, robotic, and alien frequencies - the benevolent neutralities and fluidities are as massive as they are elegant, as diverse as they are intimate, and as illusionary as they are real.

follidh’s sound is refreshingly modern and experimental, rather than replicating the same old tropes, and this mix is a perfect reflection of that. Buoyant, Funky, Original. More of this.

@follidh

Dabbling here and there as a DJ who played after hours on their friend’s CDJ-1000s, @follidh did not originally think this was the path they would be led. After a culmination of creating their Don’t Trust Human’s Only for Robots mix series, and hearing DJs such as Sassmouth and Loren is when the music clicked and they knew this is what they were supposed to be doing. Not allowing themselves to be held to genres, you can hear anything from electro and deep house, to smooth harmonica bangers in their sets. Currently Follidh is focusing on their multidisciplinary event series, Don't Trip and Follidh which donates proceeds to a different charity or non-profit each month. With the last one being an official Movement Music Festival after party and the next one being held at Chicago’s Hairpin Arts Center on June 26th, this is not something you want to miss.

RAVE SCOUT #046: FOLLIDH (AETHEE RECORDS, CHI)

@Follidh is a Chicago-based DJ and Daniel Nally's brainchild. Follidh believes they embody the savant of all hypnotic, robotic, and alien frequencies. Their benevolent neutrality and fluidity are as massive as they are elegant, as diverse as they are intimate, and as illusionary as they are real. Danny's habitually had an intimate connection to music. Their initial attraction to dance music and the rave was the guiding spirit of being able to enter a space and write their own tale, to exist rather than to be told. Follidh transports us back to the very roots of Acid Techno in Cookie Series #046, with old-school jams of the 90's and entrancing beats traveling us through to a time when the raves traditionally knew no limits and held no bounds.
