holy shizz this is a mega bop right here 🥵

Road Trip

For the 99th entry in the Honcho Podcast, we welcome @fatheroftwo! A  Pittsburgh resident and a key member on the In Training crew, Brian had a few words about his mix:

'Proud, smiling member of this queer dance music community on a regional, national, and world level! I’m rediscovering which hats I want to try back on and ways in which I want to contribute to that community in this next chapter. Dancer, friend, DJ, promoter… excited to wear all of these and more again at some point! 

There is no deep meaning or narrative to this mix; I’ve never done that well. It’s been tough for me to record studio mixes in the past, I usually turn them down because I would rather just play in front of people. But I did spend lots of time on this one, and all of these tracks are important. Some are older, some newer, all of them are joyful to me! It would mean a lot to me if you put this mix on this summer any time you’re with friends, outside or inside, sipping drinks, getting ready to go out or maybe even late at night when you still have lots of energy… just enjoying being back together. Feel free to talk to and laugh with each other over this mix, but get up and have a dance whenever something catches your ear! That’s what I had in mind :)'

DJ Voices closed out The Grove on Friday night with a roaring set, effortlessly weaving trippy techno, bass music, and broken club rhythms

Campout Series: DJ Voices

PART 2a: starting from around midnight

Last month I played an all-night set at Nowadays in NY, which I’ve described to many friends since as probably the best DJing experience of my life. 

As a DJ you’re constantly seeking a connection with those you play to, and sometimes it’s there, sometimes not. But I have never felt so intimately close to, and in tune with, an audience – whose faces I could barely even see – for the entire duration of a night. 

I’d slept for 2 hours, was jetlagged to the point of delirium and woefully underprepared for a 9-hour set. By the last hour and a half I had a crippling stomach cramp and was falling asleep on my feet. But by some cosmic rave miracle I had somehow slipped into a groove from the beginning and found myself tracing an arc that felt like it was drawing itself, as if all I had to do was relax and watch my own hands play the music. There were moments of intensity and euphoria and nostalgia and energetic catharsis, but throughout the entire set I felt fully empowered to meander in deep, subtle and confounding directions, somehow confident that wherever I went, the dancefloor would follow. 

The final stretch descended into a nostalgic parade of old and poignant favourites which, coming out of a recent period of personal upheaval, kinda knocked me sideways and left me frequently close to tears. I was a physical and emotional wreck by the time I finished. But it was a completely magical experience from beginning to end, which felt shared in a very genuine way by everyone in the room, and honestly I don’t care if anyone would listen to a 9-hour recording these days because I just want there to be a document of the night in its entirety out there for posterity. 

So here you go – a four part recording of the whole set, hopefully conveying at least some of the joy I felt on the night. Heartfelt thanks to Nowadays and to every person who was there. ♥️

Ron Like Hell @ Sustain - Release Year 7 - 2021

Selecting the artists who will close out the festival is always a decision that takes a great deal of thought and consideration. @davisgalvin, who also beautifully curated the Hemlock Nights stage, felt like the perfect starter to the last night of the festival. Their set is a lesson in maintaining a narrative through thoughtful programming. 

Davis is no stranger to creating trascendent, memorable music moments at campout, but this time we remembered to hit record 🐬✨

The second entry in a series of living documents of momentum

Manifested live at Nowadays in New York City from 3am-6am the morning of June 27 2022

Euphoric kinetic connection embraces disorder inside the void, as we smile & dance toward anamnesis together

Destroy what destroys you & never stop loving one another

Natural's the way you should love
Feel the joy, elevate
It's the way we sway, riding waves eternally
Elevating me, through sky and sea
It's the calming breeze, whispering through the trees
Feel it push you, releasing love from every view
It's the way we sway in elemental harmony
Serenading me
Move so naturally
The moon, the stars
The sky & the sea
Why don't you follow me?
To a place
Where we can be free again
Natural, where I want to be

Thanks to Nowadays staff & everyone who danced & did their thing! This was a special moment in time & has brought me a lot of joy to listen back to since then. I hope it can do the same for any of you who listen.

DJ Voices At WRECKED  STUDIO Feb4 2023

ADAB is known as a black non binary trans individual who explores sound as a whole. The Pittsburgh based, Chicago born and molded, T4T LUV NRG artist has become known for melding boundaries, often sifting between crates of house, techno, bass music, jungle, broken beat and everything esoteric that exists in between. They've brought this balanced approach to their sets at esteemed parties/festivals like No Way Back, Draaimolen Festival, and Freerotation with no intent to stop anytime soon. Via their involvement with T4T LUV NRG you can often catch them flanked by dear friends behind the decks, conjuring with labelmates Kiernan Laveaux, Russell E.L. Butler (as b2b duo Boyz II Them), Bored Lord, Eris drew and Octo Octa. Equipped with this wide ranging approach and the bonds of chosen family they push against preconceived notions of the craft, continually self overcoming to bring us something with tangible intent...

Notes on the Mix ///

"I came into doing this pride mix with the intent of displaying my own personal joy as a non binary trans person. Every song picked is one that has lifted my spirit in some shape or form and I wanted to give that to my own this pride season. Pride for someone like me is often highlighted by isolation and a lack of desirability, so this mix is a gathering of gems that have battled against those feelings. It's also a collection of tracks that I've been listening to this Pride season in particular. A time that has been elevated by newfound love and a growing sense of finally finding somewhere to belong...enjoy!"

XOXA BLEND 160 - ADAB

Jeffrey Sfire’s introduction to the underground dance scene and illegal warehouse parties of Detroit occurred at the tender age of 15. This escape from suburba led him to some of the city’s most talented DJs and musicians, who soon exposed him to a new culture of creative riches. Learning by example, Sfire’s taste and skills as a DJ developed naturally and he soon began playing out at parties, clubs and sleazy gay afterhours, usually entering covertly through back doors or with a fake ID.  A move to Chicago exposed Sfire to a whole other side of dance music history, including "Italo Disco" and genre jumping dj styles of the Hotmix 5 radio djs. He spent afternoons digging through record store crates, meeting retired DJs and developing his musical palette. Having held numerous club residencies, he regularly plays at Cocktail D’amore and Panorama Bar in Berlin, The Carry Nation and Wrecked in New York, Hard French in San Francisco, Honcho events, and his own party Club Toilet and Loosen Up in Detroit, consistently offering a finely-tuned selection of Acid House, Italo Disco, Latin Freestyle, & 90’s NYC House. In 2013 Jeffrey and SOPHIE released the first untitled “Sfire” record on Cocktail d'Amore Music out of Berlin which has become a cult classic. Since then the duo has released 3 more untitled “Sfire” records. He is currently living in Detroit and is one half of the Italo/Electro duo Looky Looky with Ian Clark released on Dark Entries records of San Francisco.
