Currently based in Vancouver, BC, Adam 2 (@adamtwo) is a DJ, producer, organizer, and perhaps above all, a devotee of the dancefloor. They are the kind of person who's likely to have a meet-cute story with a surprising number of your friends from everywhere in the world (we met over a popsicle in the front row of No Way Back once upon a time). They bring the same spirit of community and giving they bring to the dancefloor to their engagement with the music community, most recently through their label @pprzrecords with DJ Hockey and their Afrofuturism is NOW mix series.

Read the interview and see a tracklist:
https://spontaneous.zone/045-adam-2

"So for mixes usually, I’ll find a few songs which have a common narrative/story. Then with that narrative in mind, I'll think about what the start and the end of the story sound like and do I have songs which I can use for the start and the end. I’ll usually then split the mix into 2-3 parts (3 parts for a recorded mix, 2 parts for a live performance) and each part will have the same shared theme but different energy levels.

For this one, I had a few electro tracks which weren’t really based on phrases, but were long and evolving, so I could mix them as textures kinda like how I would mix techno. There is a mix of electro/bass/techno throughout, however I purposely tried to avoid songs with 4x4 kick patterns.

In terms of a narrative I envisioned a soundtrack to a science fiction movie, recounting a story of a journey gone wrong, and elements known (science) vs. elements unknown (religion/ritual). It is always interesting to reflect on when a mix was recorded and how it reflects that period of time; for me it reflects a period of Winter, an ongoing pandemic and a bleak view of the future. I wouldn’t be able to record the same mix now because I am in such a different place emotionally and musically compared to a few months ago.

It was honestly so fascinating while writing the interview for this mix series to realize I’d come full circle and I was playing electro again but in a new way, after discovering it years ago and leaving it behind after getting so tired of it."

Tonight’s Somersault mix is brought to us by @dj-playplay 

PlayPlay is an energetic voice of the US queer rave underground, based in Brooklyn by way of NC. Their music is inspired by what they grew up dancing to - 90s club anthems, jungle, breakbeat hardcore, industrial, classic house & techno, and old school hip-hop. PlayPlay has released on labels such as @sorry_records , knight week, @worstbehaviorrecs  , @fperecs , @jukebouncewerk and more. They have an EP coming out in June on Sorry Records and a few other releases forthcoming this year.

And more about the mix:
I've always felt a sense of calmness and grounding amongst chaos, and perhaps this is why I've always been so drawn to breakbeats. For this mix, I've weaved together new and old favorites, both dreamy and, at times, raucous, in the realm of jungle, drum and bass, and nu jazz (and a dash of techno). I end this mix with one of my favorite trip hop songs to bump in my car as a teenager.”

We hope you enjoy 🤸‍♂️

Cacophony is by definition a collision of multiple sounds in discordance. Sounds that shouldn't go together basically. Bogotá, Colombia’s Felipe Gordon does this, but in euphony(bringing pleasure to ones ear)! Spreading himself blissfully across jazzy, disco, funky and soulful elements he pours this concoction into his cluby productions and sets which has now given him international recognition. Having put out forty plus 12" releases and an album since 2014, including his brilliant "Timeless EP" on our Karakul subsidiary, he has found himself on labels like Shall Not Fade, Razor'N'Tape, Toytonics and some of the most long standing greats more recently like Nervous records. For Phonica mix 104 Felipe walks us through what for him brings musicality into electronic music, what live elements bring humanity into our dance floors. We have a quick chat about more on this subject below and see what else the Colombian artist has up his sleeve.

Tim Reaper On NTS Radio - 15th March 2023

Tonight we have a very special all-vinyl b2b mix from two friends of Somersault Records, Rose Kourts & DJ Wawa.

There’s not much to say about these two that hasn’t been said already; they are some of the most beloved DJs in NYC, and their sets are some of my favorites I’ve seen in the time I’ve lived in this city. Check out Wawa’s monthly show on NTS ‘Hit Factory Records’ and check out Kourtney’s new Lot Radio residency show ‘GEMS’ for more of a taste of their musical stylings. 

Thank you both for being on the series and thank you all for listening, we hope you enjoy.

420 Mix Vol. 6

With this mix for the Ever Afters 2023 campout, I wanted to help set the stage (literally) for the lineup that Envelope booked for the Yurt. This took three forms: lesbian soundsystem music to establish dancing in that room as a norm (prog); dark and percussive and carnal tracks to open the gates for wider tempos and sonic palettes (dnb); and experimentally-focused pieces to acknowledge the history of the Yurt as a site of primarily ambient casting (experimental ambient). It works best I think if you imagine yourself in the depths of the California midlands, huddled under swerving UFO lights as the hours from 3-5am careen by 🖤

Sobolik is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work as a producer, DJ, promoter and label curator seeks to open dialogues across cultures and practices of modern club music. Co-heading the London label All Centre alongside Simkin and DJ Pitch, Sobolik has been turning heads with futuristic club cuts on labels such as 3024, CloudCore, Woozy, and early reflex. Sobolik's world is filled with colour and hyperkinetic energy - not fitting in one box, their output reacts to a broad palate of styles across North American and UK club music traditions. In February, they released their third EP, entitled Packet Loss, in a debut collaboration with Kindergarten Records, joining modern bass scene luminaries like Ayesha, Sha Ru, and Stolen Velour at Brooklyn’s preeminent home of chaotic, forward-thinking digital percussion tracks.

"This mix is a live recording of my set at the inaugural Ever Afters Campout held in Saratoga, CA—a 3-day queer rave started in the wake of the legendary Gays Hate Techno retreat. I got to play on a custom soundsystem built by my friend Faited and the Envelope crew, a transfemme collective who throw renegades in the Bay Area. At Ever Afters, I was reminded of the importance of DIY and queer autonomy. I experienced mutual care, intentionality, hard work, interdisciplinary collaboration, queer joy, and real rave energy. For my set, I wanted to continue my exploration of the outer zones in club music tempo, slowing down from 98bpm into half-time 180 territory. I was so honored to play for such an engaged crowd who were down to follow all of the peaks and valleys. The first 30 minutes of the set remain between me and the dancers, and the rest is archived here in its original form."
