Tonight’s Somersault Mix is brought to us by
Theoretic 

“Based in brooklyn, theoretic aka liv is a Black, queer, DJ & producer, and also an educator who teaches the same to youth throughout nyc. by day, they are an anti-oppression consultant, & by night they help people express their full selves by sweating out their stress on the dance floor. they started the monthly party series @rhythmnationbk in late 2021 that features Black gender-expansive, trans, and/or women-identifying DJs. theoretic approaches the decks with the purpose of freeing your body, spirit, and consciousness through global forms of Black electronic music--ranging from house, techno, leftfield dance/club music in all its iterations, and of course disco & boogie.
this mix is a sweet sticky thing (to borrow from The Ohio Players); it was created with that summer dance floor sweat in mind. they assume y’all can relate.”

We hope you enjoy!🤸🏼‍♂️

Somersault 213 (theoretic) “Sweet Sticky Thing”

Belinduh Belinduh Belinduh takes the first hour to explore remixes of pop divas and vogue beats. The second hour Theoretic starts out with some sultry deep house, sprinkled with some vocals and rattling bass, then heads up to some swiftly pulsating techno.

Belinduh Belinduh Belinduh - June 2022

Alias: theoretic
Pronouns: They / She
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Labels: Inner Ocean Records, Somersault Records, Air Texture
Name of the Mix: FollowThe(e)Motions
About the Mix: «This set feels very special to me. I created this mix with the intention to evoke the emotion and rawness of House grooves of the 90s and late 80s that really cannot be replicated today.I think one thing to consider as listeners/DJs of this generation when it comes to keeping the legacy of house alive, is to really do your research about these artists that came before us. So many of them did not get their proper dues, and that's across various genres, but especially for Black folks in this industry. To connect more intentionally to the music is to know whose love and labor went into creating these sounds and messages. You never know what sort of magic can happen when we seek to know these artists that maybe only had 2 or 3 releases. We might become their new audience for this generation if we seek them out and lift them up. The main thing I hope this mix does-like all mixes in the spirit of classic House-is bring you to your feet. If you're at work listening in your headphones, I hope it transports you to another place. I hope you enjoy this journey, from me to you.»

6. THEORETIC - BLOOM2
(04:04 – 130bpm) #DeepHouse #House 

What goes up must come down. So we go deep down to the very roots of House music with this amazing groove. We camp out in Brooklyn. This track is one that bears witness to the sort of hibernation, restoration, and then finally, growth that happens coming out of the cold, winter blues season. Allow yourself to hear the tension in the song, but also the immense release.

BIO:
Jersey raised, Brooklyn trained. Olivia “Liv” Minick, is a DJ, producer, educator, keyboardist, & so on…entrenched in the beating heart of Brooklyn's underground music scene. Their sonic craft spans a fusion of House, Techno, Disco, Garage, & soul music that gave way for all these pivotal elements in the evolution of Black club music. Their style is a symphonic medley that compels even the most restrained feet to move.  
To experience theoretic's fearlessly creative attitude, spend time inside their encyclopedic, yet unpretentious mixes. Their sonic odyssey breaks norms & melds genres; their goal is to be timeless.

"This track is one that bears witness to the sort of hibernation, restoration, and then finally, growth that happens coming out of the cold, winter blues season. We've witnessed tragic collective trauma these last 7-8 months as well, so this track was something I needed to share with you all because the tension and sadness I've felt is oddly transformative. With each experience, I'm blooming into newer, more nuanced versions of myself. Allow yourself to hear the tension in the song, but also the immense release."
