For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.

Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."

For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to think differently. "I felt this 1000th podcast should reflect the moment in which it was made," she told us in her Q&A.

And what is this moment? Every day since Israel's 2023 assault on Gaza began, an average of 28 children have been killed. That's an entire classroom, every day, for over 600 days (at the time of writing). It's a staggering figure that only captures a fragment of the listless cruelty imposed on the strip.

Faced with such a genocide, what can music really do? How political can it truly be?  For their RA.1000, Thaemlitz gives us an unflinching rebuke to the idea that music should provide escapism. The mix weaves ambient fragments and jazz passages, woven around samples from Israeli media and the voices of outspoken Jewish critics like Gabor Maté and Norman Finkelstein. 

The result is not just a protest, but a document of our time. For Terre Thaemlitz, music is never just music. Her RA.1000 serves as a reminder that in an age of relentless suffering, the most political act is to reject the illusion of escape, and search for something greater.

*recorded live in Field, ON at Best Out of Town Year 5 (08/31/25)

Misty river, gentle day break, paradisal peaks. This was more than a sunrise set from a featured guest. Toumba generously wove the varied throughlines from across this year’s lineup into a deep, driving, and fresh as hell testament to the power of shared sound. Only an astute listener can pace and phrase like this - cymbals come and go with ease, vocals extend and recede to make space for new melodies, and before you get too comfy there comes a new low-end theory to unfurl. Whether or not you heard it live, welcome back to the suspended reality of a longform party with plenty of life left.

Toumba // Best Out of Town Year 5 (08/31/25)

Privileged and proud to play Toronto's alternative programming to Boiler Room, which occurred on the same day. Shout out to @notabbq and @artshownearme for having me and all the community organizers involved. 

This live set is me pandering to the traditional sounds you can expect at boiler room, my music from my local party, Gay Rights, and my Palestinian/middle eastern influence.
