Spencer FM presents two hours of woozy, mind-warping disorientation, pulled from what witnesses describe as a six-hour basement séance that may or may not have triggered mild existential episodes. Listen as this Portland instigator blurs the line between left-field house abominations and dollar-bin minimal, leaving behind a trail of dazed dancers and broken dreams.

Spencer FM is a DJ, producer, and promoter based in Portland, Oregon. He currently runs the Madrugada party series and record label. Prior to Madrugada, he founded Occasion, Orchard, and Canyon Vibration. In spring 2025, he released an EP on Madrugada that has seen support from the likes of Massimiliano Pagliara, Powder, nd_baumecker, and Skatebård, among others.

A section from my set at Magic Waves Summer Festival, Berlin, July 2015,  featuring the more accessible synth end of the kind of stuff I play at my occasional So Low night in Glasgow. So Low 2 x LP compilation in hand screen printed sleeve coming February 2016 via Vinyl Factory.

Seung provided a piece of writing to accompany his wistful, evokative all-vinyl mix of ambient and dubbed out 4/4 selections. Read it below:

"When I began to work on this mix for Ben/Hyeonje, I didn’t quite know how to approach it. I think about being Korean in America often, especially in the current zeitgeist. I decided in the end to make a mix that represents the emotions that arise when my identity and status are on my mind. 

I’m not a Korean-American. I am a Korean in America. I’m not a Permanent Resident nor a US citizen. I am a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipient, aka a Dreamer. My family overstayed our Visas, a result of many unfortunate turn of events in the late 90s. Although I was born in Seoul, Korea, and lived there for the first 9 years of my life, I have not been to Korea in 28 years. In fact, I have not been anywhere outside of the USA in 28 years. For most of those years, I simply couldn’t, as I would not have been allowed to re-enter the USA, and although now I have DACA, which allows for some travel, it has strict guidelines and it comes with risks, especially in a political climate like the one we find ourselves in currently. 

If you spent a bit of time with me, you’d probably assume with good reason that I was a Korean-American, born in the States. Even other Koreans/Korean-Americans often assume this about me. But I am what we Koreans call a 1.5 generation immigrant. I was brought to this country as a child -  I was old enough that I have maintained my Korean roots, and young enough to have fully become American in every sense (except on paper). I am fluent in Korean, yet I speak English with a neutral, Pacific Northwest accent. I do not need subtitles to watch a Korean film, and I get the humor on a Korean variety show, but I do not lead a  “typical” Korean-American life. I somehow feel more Korean AND less Korean than my American born Korean peers. 

When I think about Korea and being Korean, the overwhelming feeling I get is one of bittersweet longing. My memories of Korea are vivid and warm, yet fleeting like a dream, a past life I lived in some faraway mythical land. My current life here also feels like a dream. How did a curious little boy that used to ride the subways all over Seoul, end up on the 101 driving through Downtown LA?

My immediate family and I have been trapped in this vast land for nearly 3 decades. I recently lost both grandparents on my mother’s side who I hadn’t seen in 28 years nor spoken to much due to life, and I didn’t feel much of anything when I heard the news. It too felt like a dream. I can’t shake the feeling that had I maintained a physical connection to Korea and my family, their deaths would have felt more real. And maybe, my current life would feel less like a dream.

I hope I succeeded in translating all this into sound. This mix is dedicated to all displaced people around the world, longing to return home. 

Until the day I return to Seoul, I’ll keep on dancing."

SENSORIA with Matthew Patterson Curry @ The Lot Radio 09-11-2025

An extremely underrated  Naarm based artist, WTP (@worktheperipherals) for number #182. Miles has been releasing music under his WTP alias for a few years now - with releases via Hannah D's @thespacebetweenus & Millu & Pjenne's @companionmelb & more. 

Locally adored & undeniably talented, Miles' releases are consistently luscious & groovy.- reminiscent of the pure bliss freedom of raves during late summer at home. Housey, progressive & full of rare-cuts - this mix is a perfect extension of MIles' style & a great fit for the series. Welcoming Spring in full bloom in Australia :) 

Thank you so much for the mix Miles!

The music you may listen just now is recorded and mixed by @oliviapaula - you doing right so, as it is a very well spent hour + a half and IMO the Noosa Heads - Mushroom track alone to start with is a very fine move.

“Wide mode on, master tempo off. Let’s ride.” - Razrbark 

it always feels like a special day when there’s a new razrbark mix hitting the web, like a rare delicious sweet treat being gifted to us all. i’m not sure when i first discovered razrbark, perhaps a few years ago as it feels like we’ve been connected online forever (but who can keep track of time these days?), however, the day that i did was like unearthing a hidden gem. based in new york, razrbark has an approach to djing that comes from years of dedication to the dancefloor & being raver first and foremost. there’s a heat to her mixes that come from the warm glow of the tracks that she selects, the sludgy pace that allows you to practice patience and savour every bite, absorbing the mystical kinetic energy that is channeled through every record. from her contributions to ccl’s subglow, down2earth and distant signals mix series, the esoteric the lot radio sessions to the live recordings from iconic gigs such as the much-loved honcho campout and sorry records at bossa nova civic club, there’s a lot to sink your teeth into. 

another contribution to the world of razrbark, her 909 mix starts of humid with a chugging energy that comes with tracks slowed all the way down before flowing into an otherworldly selection of dreamy, acidic techno, creating a light respite from the steamy intro before ending on a grungy note. you can hear the references from one of razrbark’s key influences, buffy the vampire slayer. if the bronze booked djs, this is what they would play.

The SYSTEM label boss turns up blazing on his Death Techno debut. Whether it's remixing Truncate and Coeter or having music released on Blank Code and making contributions to From 0-1, Mike time and time again successfully cultivates his own vision gaining heavy hitter support along the way. The mix shows his class with spaced out jams including edgy, analogue and electrified cuts from the likes of JUDAΣ, Klaudia Gawlas, Kessell, Shlømo, Sterac, Johannes Heil and many more...
