This is a quick moment in time were we had a break from COVID-19. We hit the club where everyone felt vaccinated and safe, no known variants were in our midst. I felt every note of the tracks I played that night deep in my soul and blasted out through the speakers. Replaying this set will allow you to experience a taste of what I was feeling that night, freedom, liberation, movement, joy, excitement, love, honor, pleasure.

Dan @djschmultz McHugh was part of our @fantastic-voyage-music crew. As I came into the cohort late, I only got to know him briefly before he was taken away from us by cancer. He inspired us with his creativity, talent, positivity, silliness, and courage. Many producers got over our fear of using our own voices in our tracks because of him. This just released compilation features a slew of amazing work across genres that speak to how he inspired us in different ways.

For my track, "Dup", it was drawing on the silliness. I was in a creative rut when I decided I had had enough of our dog Appa's squeaky pig sounds. So I took it, sampled it, and made it a central piece of this track. I had a stupid grin the entire time I was making the track.

I think it's fitting that this also marks my first release on Spotify and Beatport. Go check out the whole compilation. There's a LOT of good stuff there.

All proceeds go to City of Hope cancer research!

Black Velveteen on the RIPEcast

Continuing our series of live recordings from the Unison Campout, this week, we are welcoming the debut of Bay Area DJ D2 (@denisemartin76) with a slamming poolside breaks set!

Here's what D2 had to say: "I'm an old school breakbeat junkie, a drum head and this mix captures everything that makes me want to shake my ass and I hope you'll want to do the same. "

About D2:
D2 has toured the world as a drummer playing almost every style of music.
When the pandemic put a pause on her gigs, she decided to give the decks a spin and see if they would provide the musical fix her soul needed. They did. 
She’s just getting started but excited to keep making booties shake for years to come.
