Campout Mix Series: Nishkosheh

For mix number 20 in the PPRZ Podcast series, we have a mix from Portland's @othr_wrld

othrwrld is a trans femme DJ, producer, and self proclaimed "aural apothecary" using sound and atmosphere to open portals into new utopian possibilities for trans posthuman club creatures to experience collective immanence and healing.  Equally likely to find her sweating behind the decks at a late night warehouse rave enshrouded in fog, or sitting peacefully weaving textures in a dimly lit chillroom, othrwrld sits on the cutting edge of trans futuristic music from hypnotic/chaotic psytechno, bass, and ritualistic rhythms to slambient mind journeys, soundbaths and deep dubbed out dancefloors.  

othrwrld has lived in Portland Oregon for the past 6 years and has cultivated a strong relationship with the local nightlife/dance music community, while always pledged to prioritizing the queer underground.  In 2023 she started her own party/mix series "Club Liminal" a left field ethereal techno party for trans ravers and all who yearn to rave on the edge of reality.

Mix description: 
This mix was recorded in my home studio towards the tail end of a very overwhelming period of life where I was attempting to find both solid footing as well as expansion.  As tends to be my style I think this mix will ferry the listener on a well guided journey through realms both introspective as well as expansive, this time maybe trending more towards the melancholy, with a hint of dissociation.  I guess I was tapping into the experience of exhaustion I was having, and needing to give myself some space to rest and to just feel what I was feeling without any urgency to “solve” what I was going through.  The mix rides gentle waves rolling waves of energy, always with a strong gravitational pull towards the earth, towards center, a prayer for inner peace.  If you’ve caught me playing live anytime over the past month chances are you’ve heard at least one or two of these tracks woven into a set, including originals from my upcoming release with PPRZ.  I can’t wait for these songs to be out in the world and I’m honored to debut them in this context alongside lots of music I admire / am inspired by.

If you enjoyed the mix and would like to donate to an organization of othrwrld's choice; 

'Firstly acknowledging the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza where the apartheid state of Israel has slaughtered over 10,000 Palestinian civilians, I also acknowledge that at this time money and other aid is unable to reach the people of Gaza due to continued efforts from the U.S. and other western imperialist powers to stop it.  I want to encourage all listeners to stay educated and up to date with this ongoing genocide, we owe it to the Palestinian people to not look away and continue to witness what’s happening so that it is never forgotten or forgiven by history.  I also encourage everyone to boycott companies like Starbucks, McDonalds, Disney + and others who continue to financially support the state of Israel with their billions of corporate dollars.  All of that said, I want to encourage donations to a local Portland organization @dontevictpdx , a Tenant-led grassroots & abolisionist org working to prevent or reduce eviction harm and build a tenant movement in PDX.'

Ron is a favourite of ours from New York through the Wrecked Parties and other sexy recordings we've heard. His intense acid/techno/house style really sent this party to the moon, with a lot of acute local techno fans calling him their new favourite dj. Check it out, it's wild!

Abdul Raeva - Stamina

A new mix...for a project that has been sitting around. @bodyzone is something I started where I released two mixtapes of original music back in 2020. Four years later, I thought it was only fitting to start this up again by releasing a recording dedicated to the Midwest since the actual 'Body Zone' is a gay bathhouse located in Detroit which is a 5 minute drive to Menjos where the infamous Club Toilet parties take place.

This mix is a reflection of the set I played when I was invited this last year in 2023. Through all the practice sessions and preparations I made to get myself up on that stage, I found a few decent recordings and versions of what I played that night during Movement weekend. Consider this my Club Toilet retrospective. 

"bodyzone as a project and label is an ode to a gay bathhouse in Detroit."

ADONIS w/ Nyra 160224

Bogota-born, Berlin-based Tania Humeres Correa aka @thc_dj has perfected the art of high-energy sounds that get big room crowds close together. The Rinse FM host has her own party series La Noche with Byron Yeates and sibling DHC, and with the latter plays back-to-back as S-candalo. Acid, potent rave bangers, vocal gems and deeper delights all feature in her sets which always look to combine an unbridled sense of party with plenty of emotional nuance.

This week's mix was recorded just after the start of festival season so is aimed at getting your summer started in style. Staying true to her signature house sounds with plenty of warmth, euphoria and rolling grooves, it's a perfect representation of her ideal dance floor soundtrack. While leaning towards the energy of the main stage and "anthemic vastness," her selections never forget about the all-important elements of intimacy and soul which help the beats make a lasting impression.
