The Messy Beaucoup afterhours stage was the spiritual successor to 'The Way In' in 2018. This stage focused less on dance music and more on ambience, experimental sounds, and relaxation. @csouffront responded with this beautiful, musical journey that deserves to listened to in its entirety. Enjoy!

@miseryconfusion at Hemlock Nights on Saturday morning.

'For a long time, I felt uncertain about what to play at Honcho for Hemlock Nights. It wasn’t until my friend Kayla (Seelene) asked, “So, you’re just going to play the Bobby afters classics, right?” that I began to break through the doubt. While this set includes a lot of new music for me, I took comfort in the tracks I often share with friends at home. My goal was to create a more intimate and personal space to introduce myself to a new audience.'

@alexanderberg doing what he does best for his opening set at The Grove on Friday evening. The sun was setting in the thickness of Western Pennsylvania summer. Fog machines were working overtime, dumping into the natural haze that was already filling the Great Meadow. Our ship was cleared for takeoff, and so we went.

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.

@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. "

@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'."

@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."

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"
