KATERfeb2025

the worlds gone crazy™️ and 85% of shit has changed since 1992.

but this hasn’t, not really. this is what i do, and have been doing every night since i was 17.

i find records i love, i fly to a city. i take a nap. i play the records for people. they dance. i get paid i go home.

sometimes i actually think there might be something wrong with me to STILL be doing this. am i stupid?

HOW…. how could you STILL be playing records for people at 5am. shouldn’t you have developed an APP? A line of Wellness Products? surely you should have “sold your company” by now? WRITE A DECK? raise capital!!!! Get bored.
but then i play a set like this (link above) and remember that this is, in fact, as good as it gets, that the core idea i had as a 16year old was actually the BEST idea: to live a life surrounded and protected by MUSIC. armed with your favourite songs, the ones that keep you young and confidant, the ones you want to share with friends.

so that is DJing for me. simple. not particularly revolutionary… except for the fact that to be excited and happy seems revolutionary these days.

also: i’ve played about 4500 parties. and most are like 6 or 7 on tens….. sometimes an 8.

THIS WAS A 10. And the 10s never get recorded. there are lots of exclusives and THREE of my new tracks. and its been recorded WITH all the crowd noise…. trust me its a good one.

if you only listen to one of my 4 hour sets this year…. make it this one.

AIRSINE: SPÆCIAL MIX 401

Black Light Smoke is the electronic music moniker of Jordan Lieb -
producer, songwriter, and Daytime Emmy Award winning film and tv
composer. Chicago born, Jordan transplanted to New York City in 2001
where his career as a multi-disciplined musician has taken flight in many
forms. In 2024 he returned once again to his native Chicago.
Black Light Smoke first lit up the dance music scene in 2010 with his EPs
“Lovework” and “Switch Back” (Scissor & Thread), which were spurred on
by a remix from DJ T and a spot on Andrew Weatherall’s Masterpiece. In the

following decade he put out a wide range of records, including the synth-
drenched EP “Firefly” (2014), two tracks from which were featured in Ana

Lily Amirpour’s 2016 indie cult film “The Bad Batch”. Black Light Smoke
has showcased his wide breadth of influences - from techno, darkwave and
italo disco - with releases on Zone Music (France), hafendisko, Nein Records
and more. In 2025 he released his EP “CONTROL” on Tiga’s Turbo
Recordings, bringing together his techno, EBM, and electroclash influences
for his strongest record yet.

In 2020 Black Light Smoke launched his own imprint, Death Decay Magic, a
platform for dark techno, EBM, post-punk and wave genres. With tracks
from The Hacker, Cardopusher, Dina Summer, Filmmaker, himself and many
others, Death Decay Magic has received praise and support from the likes of DJ Hell, Laurent Garnier, Green Velvet, Jeniffer Cardini, Silent Servant,
Bloody Mary and more.

Black Light Smoke has performed his unique live set around the globe,
including Fabric in London, Boiler Room, Robot Heart, the BPM festival in
Mexico, and in many cities across North America.

"For this mix I focused primarily on driving, somewhat abstract techno. I wanted to bring myself and the listener to a place of concrete rhythms and unrelenting drums, while keeping an eye on the open-ended mystery of space."

RND 127 - Black Light Smoke

Dark Utopia, the boundary-pushing alias of Manchester’s Ricky El-Qasem, channels a lifetime of sonic rebellion. Once known as DJ SHO in the ’90s, El-Qasem carved his legacy through gritty Hip-Hop sets and Rave-ready Techno, earning a reputation as a purveyor of dance-floor chaos. Decades later, his evolution into Dark Utopia defies categorisation, merging his storied past with a maverick approach to production. “The Change Board” – his forthcoming four-track EP on Sweden’s imprint When Disco Goes Wrong – embodies this ethos, blending warped basslines, unrelenting rhythms, and lysergic textures into a defiant cocktail. It’s a manifesto against genre orthodoxy, where anarchic acid squelches and primal grooves collide, daring listeners to abandon expectations.

Premiered here, “T-Jazz” is a misdirection of the finest order. Despite its title, the track sidesteps Jazz entirely, instead hurling listeners into a vortex of frenetic percussion, rubbery basslines, and neon-lit synths. Its frenzied energy channels the lawless spirit of early Rave, with speech-like vocal snippets and a searing 303 line amplifying the chaos. Built for peak-time havoc, the theme thrives on contradiction – its “Jazz” lies not in instrumentation but in the improvisational clash of elements: Uptempo beats spiral alongside hypnotic loops, creating a track that’s both unhinged and meticulously calculated.

This time, Yomi One takes things deeper. While most of the tracks follow the wild, driving spirit of the first EP, Water and Blood reveals another side of his sound - slower, dub-influenced, yet still unmistakably acid. It's a continuation, but also an evolution.

Nostalgic yet forward-thinking, raw yet refined. Don't sleep on this one. All tracks are finely crafted and mixed in his lab in Orminge - also known by its informal nicknames Snaketown or Snaketon - in the eastern suburbs of Stockholm
