Justin Cudmore with Tommy Cornelis  - 29 September 2021

This is me warming up the room... thus is why you’ll hear me play long drawn out tracks & some throwbacks in the first 25 or so minutes. I wanted to set a sensual, warm, welcoming tone for the rest of the night. 

I saved all the bangers for when the floor was starting to get packed. Funny enough my recorder’s battery died after the Hex Hector Whitney Houston remix I played. There is another 32 minutes of the set lost to our memories, but the recorder’s timing literally makes my intuition tingle. Maybe we did conjure and dance with the most legendary of angels that night. 

Enjoy the archived feelings and rhythms of this night I will never forget.

Track list to come!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me set the scene:

This set was my last live performance of 2021. This set in the main room of the Knockdown Center (my first time playing that side of things) was my victory lap on my home turf. Many shows in town had cancelled that night because of the endless virus surges, but some of us really needed this. So I showed up to play my part. 

After a year like 2021, when my DJ career snapped back like a rubber band and picked me up out of very pessimistic place, I needed this.

I am so grateful that I got to play this show with Ash Lauryn and Honey Diijon. Two djs I really admire and look up to! 

Ash said something to me back stage that illuminated how legendary this lineup was simply because of who we are: 3 generations of black women DJ’s carrying a very holy torch of love, light, & musical legacy by way of house music. :')

Michael Magnan is literally the best ever and that's just that. We always loosen the screws when we play together, but on Saturday night we got completely unhinged...just how we like it!

Ūmboma 

Miss Alicia (she/her) & Omar Ahmad (he/him)

Ūmboma is a global-forward sound experience led by Miss Alicia and Omar Ahmad. Ūmboma blends of Afro, Arab, and Latin contemporary rhythms and energies that run from meditative & psychedelic, to frenetic and pulsing. Omar imbues live world drums into our sets to bridge the connection between the DJ booth and the audience, and they often invite attendees to play instruments they've brought along with with. The word Ūmboma is a combination of Swahili, Arabic, and Spanish words that translates to “a congregation of Freedom and Dance”. Ultimately they are seeking to cross borders and connect cultures (and spirits) through sound.

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix is from our all night set from the Bunker back in July. We started that night with some mid tempo psychedelic rhythmic sounds then ramped up into a raucous peak that stayed high energy until the very end. This mix starts right when we were getting into peak time. In all of our sets we bounce off each other song by song in a very co-creative kind way. The music is a dynamic blend of Afro/Arab/latin global club tracks- almost like a dialogue between the cultures. There are different languages, chanting, etc all with a very percussive overlay. By this point we were really locked into building the vibes (and temperature!) of the room. We hope this mix not only makes listeners dance, but feel more connected to people around the world."

For the Ninth episode of There Is No Planet Earth Stories I'm joined by guest Tommie Sunshine representing stories from Chicago, Atlanta, New York.

"Tastemaker to tastemakers, curator and shapeshifter, Tommie Sunshine is renowned for his reputation of being consistently ahead of the curve bridging the worlds of Rave, Disco, Tech House, and House while still standing firmly in the zeitgeist. Establishing his name as a fixture throughout the American Rave scene during the '90s, he became one of the most recognizable figures of the Electroclash movement during the early 2000s, his Rock & Pop remixes made him a key figure in the Blog House scene (’06-’09) and helped set the stage for the EDM boom of the 2010s. 31 years as a DJ and 37 years as a clubber gives Sunshine his unique perspective on the business & informs his present Rave Revival sound.
Set apart by his iconoclastic productions, he is regarded as one of today!s most prolific remixers providing club-ready makeovers for countless household names, including Billie Eilish, Bob Marley, Katy Perry, Harry Styles, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Kim Petras, Nicki Minaj, Rosalía, Dua Lipa, Sofi Tukker, Lenny Kravitz, Elvis Presley, Lizzo, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kelly Clarkson, Major Lazer, Santana, and Fall Out Boy. Tommie"s original production career spans collaborations with artists such as Oscar nominated and Grammy winner Junkie XL, Chocolate Puma, Grammy winner James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, legendary producer Arthur Baker, House Music pioneer Felix da Housecat, Peaches, The Disco Fries, and many more. His music has been released on all of the biggest Dance labels in the world including Spinnin!, Ultra, Armada, Musical Freedom, Heldeep, Size, Revealed, Mixmash, Dim Mak, and Mad Decent amongst others. On Spotify alone his original production has reached 26 million listeners & 127 million streams. Tommie also wrote and recorded 9 tracks for several editions of Konami!s classic arcade game Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). Now well beyond its 600th release, his label Brooklyn Fire provides a platform to young producers just getting started in the business giving their music mass exposure, DJ support from the biggest in the game & streams into the millions.
Whether as a Producer, DJ or Artist, Tommie brings a unique enthusiasm to his craft; fueled by his encyclopedic (if not obsessive) knowledge of Underground and Pop music spanning the last half-century. His TV show After The Raves on Netflix took him around the world speaking intimately with Fatboy Slim, Solardo, Hardwell and Paul Oakenfold, and his deep musical knowledge and outspoken views have landed him airtime on numerous talk shows and radio programs. Sunshine, also known as a social media provocateur, has been known to cause an uproar in his firm stance on many issues most won't dare talk about & his activism has landed him on TMZ for gun control. Tommie served as an entertainment surrogate for the 2016 & 2020 Presidential campaigns of Bernie Sanders. He served 3 semesters and counting as adjunct professor at NYU - Tisch School Of The Arts - Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music & serves the Recording Academy as a voting member of the Grammys."
