For 135th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome @ketia! ketia is an up-to-no-good self-assigned cyborg, has a keen ear for new and exciting music, alongside a curious, invested approach to community building within the Lisbon and Berlin club scene. Known for their infamous intimate invite-only kit ket events in Lisbon and one of the glitches behind the label and collective, 'kaptcha'. In Berlin, where they reside, they’re deep and sweetly entangled with the modern rituals happening at Berlin’s new ambient listening bar kwia – ketia helps hold space for a different way of connecting through high fidelity sound and intimacy outside of the usual club dynamics. 

Sonically enticed by syncopated drums and twisted rhythms, driven house with groove and breaks married with rave nostalgia. ketia thrives on genre-bending beats connected through vocal-infused tracks that allow for unique storytelling.

This mix is 2 hour journey through hypnotic house, deep techno, sultry electro & leftfield dub.. Enjoy the ride!

@boyfrienddick and @joshua-orange at Hemlock Hole for the QFF Takeover

"The thing I was most nervous about it was selecting the perfect opening song, being that our set was right after the QFF ball and opening the decks for the first night of campout. A few weeks before campout, I was listening to a friend’s playlist called “Horny Whispering” and Beyoncé’s Naughty Girl shuffled on. I instantly knew I needed to make my own mix of this song to use as the opener. I blended the acapella with this dembow track Kuruyuki by a young Buenos Aires based producer EL PLVYBXY. I’m so happy it hit, after that I could breath. "

@julie-marghilano at The Grove on Thursday night.

"I was overly preparing and listened to my whole record collection before leaving for my US tour. I brought all my most loved records of all different genres and then cooked them up on the go. I was very nervous before my set but after seeing all the wonderful souls express and be authentically themselves on the dancefloor, I felt an enormous feeling of love and unity. The dancefloor vibes are always created together and I am eternally grateful for the energy and appreciation I received from all of you. <3"

"for my hemlock nights set, i was aiming to embody an imagined cartoonish archetype of the "bass scholar" ~ tracing a lineage through contemporary and past strains of dubstep, IDM, hip hop, grime, dub and other half-time rhythm in an attempt to sculpt a personal canon of this music that has inspired and guided me so much over the last 13 or so years. it was an honor to share this music in such a genuinely magical and unique setting <3"

Campout Hearsay Talk Series: EVERYBODY'S FUCKING EVERYBODY

@joedelon at Hemlock Hole on Saturday afternoon.

"I like to play music that carries a message, explicit or implicit. Every second of this set was a message to the people I've met through Campout over the years — a motley cast of friends, colleagues, artists, crushes, many of whom were there in the crowd. The message was: 'I love you'."

Campout Mix Series: Joe Delon

@rojowashere at Hemlock Hole on Saturday afternoon

"When people hear me play, my greatest hope, always, is to uplift. 

I want those on the dance floor to leave feeling more confident, free and fierce than they did prior to me approaching the booth. 

This really is the ethos behind my work as an artist and my ultimate goal when preparing for Honcho Campout 2025.

While listening back, I found myself imbued with reassurance that I achieved what I set out to accomplish through this set.

In the crowd recording, you can hear the energy continue to grow as people made their way from their tents, through the trees, and onto the dance floor at Hemlock Hole, summoned by me, I suppose. 

From my memory, I can vividly envision all of the smiling-sweat-soaked faces that afternoon as I peeked up from the decks. The air was gritty with dust, kicked up from beneath people's dancing feet. Some had their eyes closed, lost in sound. Others raised their hands, palms facing me, welcomingly receiving the energy I was sharing with them, if energy were tangible. This audience made me feel encouraged and entrusted -- enthused by every beat drop as I transitioned track-to-track.

As a "House Head," this set was, especially, a love letter to the genre, which has touched my life in an unquantifiable way --  and continues to enlighten, inspire, and heal me.

May this mix be the narration of your KIKIs, road trips, gym sessions, pumping the pavement on the sidewalk on your way to work extravaganzas, etc. WERK IT OUT! EOW! "

@psychic-handjob in the Critters Lounge on Saturday night

"I could never have imaged a more perfect space to share this music than in the surreal oasis of the Critters Lounge. As soon as you stepped foot in the tent you were out of the woods and in another (hazy, romantic) world. As I sung my final number (something written almost 8 years ago) I realized that the lyrics seemed to be about what I was experiencing that night at Campout. A trail of breadcrumbs leading from past to future. Esoteric lounge music forever."

@bezier at The Grove on Saturday night

"My set recording from this past Summer's Honcho Campout was a very important one for me as I've been attending the festival since 2016, and from that, made a lot of friends, reunited with childhood ones and grew closer as part of the bigger family. Lots of love to the whole Campout crew!

This set is a reflection of inputs starting from 1998-2001 sitting in my room, downloading files in the background on dial-up 24/7 in my old college apartment and then pulling ripped vinyl from my travel hauls, to sounds given to me in the past year."

Motha Nature - Black Faces, Green Spaces with Carolyn Finney & Twirling Tech Goddess at the Circle of Whispers.

How is the environment racialized? Who gets to exist in nature peacefully? What bodies are there? And who polices access (and why)? This talk is about equity, access, and justice to the environment, and it is about undermining - and upending - decades of racial capitalism that has determined where and how Black and brown people recreate and thrive.

Campout Mix Series: Honcho

How do you relate to plants? What seed tells your story? This workshop is an invitation to touch dirt and tell stories. We'll muddle through the power, possibilities, and problematics of queer relations with seeds, food, and land and how those relations impact our commitments to human and nonhuman community.

"What a magical space! Touch seeds, tell stories, craft weird little worlds, etc etc etc"
