Michael Brunner DJ Sets

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.

Sassmouth: FRiends and Family Ep. 47

Before summer ended this year, Colorado-based DJ Steven Dermody was visiting family in Ohio. He woke one night to the light of the blue moon shining through trees, projecting pools of light on the grass below. Taking it in for a long moment, he took a photo from where he stood in his childhood bedroom. After opening up the first hour of this month’s show with some new favorites, I’m honored to host Steven on Bright Patterns for the second hour, where he reimagines and translates this moment with such personal intention.

titrate mix | Pagan Red (live)

I was blessed to play midday Saturday again. Daytime allows so much freedom, but 90 minutes is too short. This is a rerecording of my set. I changed the order of a few tracks, added four more that I wanted to play but didn't have time for, and let the key ending track breathe for its full 15 minutes.

No tracklist this time at least for now, but happy to ID anything.

Thank you Skiplogic, Gabe Benzur, Tdel and Shawn O'Sullivan for your influences on this mix.

Fun fact: There are nine different languages in this mix, a personal best =)

Club Rooted #8 / Milo Bragg

Fear of Music (http://fearofmusic.org) was in many ways a precursor to Standards & Practices @stanprac — we threw sporadic events and shared mixes online, made by likeminded midwest techno fans during the 'dark years' (the aughts, when minimal ruined everything). This was the first release in our mix series and, as of today, it's exactly 15 years old. To us, it still sounds ahead of its time.

From @karlpmeier — 'It's hard to believe this mix is 15 years old. Pretty soon it'll be asking for the keys to the car and the ability to stay out past 10pm. Funny story - one night Jeff and I were at Smart Bar (I think; "the mind plays tricks" as Alan Partridge famously said) and Jeff had been telling me about this artist named 2562 who had released his first LP, "Aerial", the year prior. Jeff had been listening to it non-stop and told me that I absolutely had to investigate. Well, long story short - we were approached by friends that night to open for him at Lava Lounge. We could hardly believe it - it was such a odd coincidence. Now, at the time, I knew very little about "dubstep", ultimately - that was more Jeff's area of expertise. But I was intrigued, and it was a fairly exciting time for electronic music, as there was a lot of genre "cross pollination" going on. All the cheap rave revivalism hadn't started to happen just yet, and there was seemingly a lot of room to explore combining techno and other genres with this new form of music. Jeff and I had expressed some interest in what we could do DJing with Ableton, and this inaugural outing is fairly representative of what we were listening to at the time - and also reflects other influences that we thought might fit in and work well. Really, we were just drunk on the possibilities of what we could do - and ultimately I thought it all worked out quite well. The night ended up being probably one of the most successful gigs I'd been a part of in ages. The crowd was up for it, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Anyway, that's enough nostalgia - hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening.'

The Hard Way In & The Easy Way Out

Jeff Pietro & Karl Meier — The Hard Way In & The Easy Way Out, Live @ Lava Lounge Chicago 2009

For our second offering of the year, we welcome a very talented artist and event organiser, based in Osaka, Japan..... Loe...

After meeting Loe in Osaka last year, and witnessing her perform a mind-bending techno set at a beautiful Muzan Editions x Astral Industries event, we connected through our mutual interest in the power of ambient music and its unique way of processing emotions. A form of therapy, if you will…

This mix is a beautifully woven narrative for cold nights and deep introspection…

Thank you, Loe <3

~~

“My hometown, where I was born and raised, is Matsumoto City in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The city is rich in nature, with a view of the Japanese Alps mountain range.

It is a cold area, and when I was a child, it was not unusual to have heavy snowfalls. At night, when there is a lot of snow as far as the eye can see, it is quiet. The snow reflects the moonlight, and the sky becomes bluish and faintly bright.

The big tree that I could see from my room, which was usually swaying in the wind, was covered with snow and quiet on such a day.

It was a very lyrical scene, even to my childish mind, and I felt a sense of awe and fear mixed with affection, which made me wonder. But I felt somewhat lonely, and I didn’t want the morning to come. I was more inclined to bury myself in the silence forever.

I put the original landscape of my heart into this mix. Please enjoy.” - Loe

~~ About Loe ~~

Loe was born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, and is the grandniece of avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama. She started her career as a techno DJ in the Kansai region in 2005, and after appearing at DOMMUNE supporting techno heavyweight Reeko's first solo gig in Osaka, she expanded her activities to the whole of Japan. She organises an ambient event known as "SLOWMOTION", in collaboration with AOKI takamasa and Endurance. Her storytelling development and layering techniques are her specialities, and her play style, which maximises the trippy immersive feeling that is the real appeal of techno music, has gained enthusiastic support from the scene.

The Observatory - Loe

a mix comprised entirely of iideo tunes. although some of the coolest material on the label did not end up in this mix, it feels like a good representation of the spirit of these first few years. many thanks to all of the artists that have entrusted us with their work, and to every person who has supported this project. excited to imagine what this mix might sound like in another few years…

please enjoy.

Spooky Explorations - Recorded Live @ Pizzageist2017 10-28-17

It was my genuine pleasure to play at Globus, the "freeform" room of the renowned Berlin nightclub Tresor, for my European debut last month. This experience was made even more special by playing in the company of (or opening the room for) Shawn Rudiman, Derek Plaslaiko, and Handmade. 

Many thanks to Diana, the Tresor staff, and the talented artists and cherished friends I shared the room with that evening. 

I'm happy to share the majority of this set, less about 30 minutes of experimental bangers from before the doors opened. I hope you'll find the shoddy mixing and killer track selection to be balanced in a pleasurable way.
