Charas 006: Inna DJ Laurent Style

When I was DJing with @erlaab as part of our short-lived Two Doves radio show (shout out Christian of @particlefm for taking a chance on us), the structural conceit for our shows was developed via shared Google Doc's discussing current events, and what of them we wanted to put into the mix. I was surprised and encouraged by what came out of those sessions.

This mix is a continuation of that theme. Discussion of current events as an emotional lens. No sugarcoating, no bullshit, because the world is rough out there right now.

Charas 023: Syncopation Overload

A concept I have been returning to again and again in making autobiographical mixes is Annea Lockwood's idea of a sound map, "an aural tracing [of a specified place] interleaved with the memories and reflections of its people". Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, *actually?*), I have been bouncing around a few different cities and countries the last couple of years, so my experiences have been super varied. I recently completed a marathon (for me, at least) 6 hour such mix-as-sound-map, with its own distinct emotional "beats". It begins *in media res*, in that it opens with a DJ Shadow sample with which I closed a previous mix (https://soundcloud.com/icarus-redux/the-great-beyond-2022-domeland), which I haven't heard of other people doing just yet! It also describes...how shall I say this delicately, my experience as a voice-hearer and targeted individual, something that I have experienced since the start of my DJ career thusfar (and in bits and pieces up to as early as 2010).

Charas 037: Leod Type Beat

I made a mix subtitled "Syncopation Overload", under the Icarus Redux name, only to make *this* one that stepped even further down that road, but with a specific focus.

This mix is inspired by Blackdown. Specifically, a blog post he made in 2005 navel gazing about dubstep, titled "Fusion confusion" (https://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2005/05/fusion-confusion_25.html), in which he laid out supporting arguments for both genre fusion and genre purism in nurturing a genre. Though he wrote his article about dubstep, I wondered, "what if we could have this same conversation about UK garage, its predecessor?"

So I did my best, to paraphrase from the "Fusion confusion" article, to evoke Jay Da Flex's sets that fused "broken beat with breakbeat garage" (without listening to any of his work), but specifically highlighted fusions of UKG with broken beat and breakbeat, Japanese rarities, as well as early dark garage sounds, before the genres had crystallized. Fusion? No confusion here, mate.
