The soundtrack of my people! :) 

This song means a lot to me as I recently came out as non-binary myself and it really has changed my life. The wonderful people I have met online in the non-binary community have helped me through some difficult times as I go through this process with everyone in my life. 

Take the time to listen, to share, to connect with someone in some cases before it's too late.  

Take the time to understand us we are valid, we are human, and here to stay.

This isn't just about a song, a label, ect. Non-binary is a movement, a shared universal energy, understanding, and way of life.

Hope you enjoy this was a blast to make and as always thank you for the support!

In Heaven (zwil Ar Remix)

Baxie talks to John Rubeli--one of the founders of the original Lollapalooza Festivals in the 1990's.  John talks about his career in music---booking, managing, and signing some of the most influential bands in history (including during his twelve year tenure with Atlantic Records).  They not only discuss John's current record label (Grey Market Records)--they also discuss their beginnings together as students at Marquette University! Really interesting stuff!

Founded in 2021, Dark Heaven is a Chicago based event company and collective focused on curating
immersive experiences with underground electronic artists, installation/visual artists, and queer
performance artists. With bookings from the likes of Matrixxman, Nikki Nair, Overland, Ariel Zetina, Sard,
Beau Wanzer, and kryptogram, Dark Heaven thrives in DIY spaces but has also made rounds in the club
circuit, most recently at Smartbar and Podlasie Club. In late 2022, co-founder and artist Vorp, with the help
of collective partner follidh, began curating La Chasse, translating to “the hunt” in French, launching Dark
Heaven as a record label with a various artist compilation album.
With the ‘La Chasse’ compilation the Dark Heaven imprint has pieced together a broad spectrum of sonic
influences. Across nineteen tracks the collection traverses through Electro, Jungle, Techno, Bass,
Microhouse and Experimental Electronica. Tracks like D.Strange’s ‘Eros’, DVS NME’s ‘Herr Elektromotoren’
and Francois Dillinger’s ‘Persist To Resist’ employ classic Electro tropes with crisp drums, cinematic synth
textures and gnarly bass lines. IVVY’s ‘Unstable’, Lokua’s ‘Keep It Going’, PV5000’s ‘DJ Do Baile’ and COMMON
GROUND’s ‘User Frndly’ shift the focus over to raw techno with high octane rhythms, and intricately
intertwined synth work.
Double Dipp’s ‘Shock Me’, Ommen’s ‘a few things wrong with me’, ‘Detroit Receiving’ by Gino and Clarissa’s
‘An Ode To Nothing’ embraces a deeper, more reduced house aesthetic with a focus on low-slung 4/4 drums
and textural atmospherics. Flex Blur also turns in a straight jungle workout driven by amen breaks and
dreamy pads with ‘Doute’, KEEFE lays down breaks tinged ‘Big Donk Energy’ and Club Drippy turns in a murky
slice of electronica with ‘Crashed’. The likes of Jace Inman, Linquency, Mafgar, rising star of Miami Sel.6 and
Vorp then diverge into experimental realms with their contributions, each employing intricately
programmed, off-kilter rhythms, and expertly crafted sound design for a truly unique listening experience.

Premiere | Ommen - A Few Things Wrong With Me (DARKHEAVEN001)

A song written to cope with the selling of my childhood home in Louisville, KY. A tribute to the many lives that lived there and loved there <3 Called, "ÅLLSHOUSE" (ÅNGEL 004)

Lyrics/VOX: ÅNGEL 004
Music: David Jester 
Mixing/Mastering/Co-Producer: Tyler Pritchett (T Pharo)
Cover Art: Zach Jett 

LYRICS: 

I was just passing by 
When this great big house 
Caught my eye

I was only passing through 
And now I gotta know from you

I gotta know 
Who’s house is this?
I want it bad 
I want it bad 
And I must confess

I’ve never seen one like this before 
The way love flows through every door 

I gotta know 
Who’s house is this
I want it bad 
I want it bad 
And I must confess

I’ve never seen one like this before 
The way love flows through every door 

The casting sun, bleeds golden rays 
Shines upon the bedroom in display 

It brings me joy and lifts us up 
Up on a hill, 
WAIT, IS THAT A HOT TUB?

And who are they, 
those pretty people 
Living there, living there 
They are so regal 

They’re making art 
they create the steeple 
It must be church,
it must be God 
It feels illegal 

I gotta know 
Who’s house is this
I want it bad 
I want it bad
And I must confess

I’ve never seen one like this before 
It’s got a strange calling, 
I can’t ignore 

I gotta know X2 
Who’s house X2
I gotta know X2 
Who’s house X2

Sure I don’t have all the money 
But I gotta get creative, 
Gotta think of something
The way I want it keeps me up at night,
If I let it pass me by it just wouldn’t feel right

I gotta know 
Who’s house is this
X2

ALLSHOUSE
It’s Yallshouse 
It’s all yalls house X3

And if it’s meant to be 
The open house was meant for me
And if it’s meant to be 
The open house was meant for me

ÅLLSHOUSE

Today, unfortunately, American citizens against their better judgment, voted to elect Trump as our president. Further, this event, insultingly, took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day—a day meant to honor a man who championed equality and justice for black Americans. To see the rise of Trump, flanked by his band of crony tech-bros—Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk—on such a day feels like a cruel mockery of the progress Dr. King fought for. 

Together, this American oligarchy promotes a reality where hate speech masquerades as "free speech" and the myth of meritocracy props up cis-straight-white-males and affluent individuals (including women indoctrinated to uphold this narrative) above everyone else. Have you watched Star Wars? Have you read “A Handmaids Tail”? They parade this so-called "golden age" while leading our democracy into decay. 

In this unsettling time, I felt compelled to revisit the song "Everything Counts" by Depeche Mode. This pop song is a critique of global capitalism and highlights the terrors of a system that prioritizes profit and power over humanity.

“Confidence taken in / By a suntan and a grin.”

When Depeche Mode wrote this lyric, they were describing a businessman on vacation—a man who, let’s be real, doesn’t truly have to work. He can travel the world — relax on the beach. Today, this image eerily mirrors the embodiment of Trump and his ilk.

“The grabbing hands grab all they can / All for themselves, after all.

It’s a competitive world”

(but only for those without the wealth to pay their way to the top).

“Everything counts in large amounts.”

These "large amounts" could represent our social capital or the hard-earned money drained from everyday Americans by the billionaire class—an illness in our democracy. These financially privilieged individuals should pay the same taxes as everyone else, yet they hoard wealth at the expense of society.

As Klypi, a persona I embody, I want to channel the hypocrisy I witness and confront the evils plaguing our reality. Through this character, I hope to amplify a voice of resistance and rally those who dream of a more egalitarian, open-minded, and accepting world.

Through fiction, through play, and through my love of art, I plan to do this.
