Where did you grow up? Was it a single place or many places? How did this influence the songs you listened to?

I was born and raised in Detroit. I've resided most of my life in Southwest Detroit and that definitely has an impact on what I listen to.  Music has been a topic of conversation since grade school.


Can you pick one song in the mix and explain where you first listened to it?

Project Pat - Now You Know The Business
I first heard this song on a bootleg cassette I bought from the dollar store. Bought that tape 3 times because my teacher confiscated it when I listened to it in class.


Who “introduced” you to these songs? Was it a person, a radio station, a CD?

I used to sit in front of my boombox and just listen to WJLB, WDRQ and The Planet all day. My mom and dad had records, CDs, and cassettes of all kinds of stuff like Motown, jazz, freestyle and rock. Even my sister would give me tapes when I was younger.


Where and when did you first hear techno? Who did it sound like it was for?

My first impressions on techno music was on mix shows that aired on WJLB with DJs like Gary Chandler, DJ Polo, DJ Zap just to name a few. I thought to myself, “wow this music has a lot of energy and bass to it. I could imagine people in a club with lots of lights and big speakers.” 


You’ve got the microphone. What do you want to say?

My words to the techno community: Don't make this shit cookie cutter music!!!! keep pusing further than what it is now and remember it's to bring people together and sonically take you into the future.

We've paired MGUN's mix with a digital billboard work by Basim Magdy, an Egypt-born, Basel-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice often includes (semi) satirical text over saturated colors, Super-8 Film, and psycho-apocalyptic landscapes.

Jamming With Malzof Episode 2: Guidance Recordings, 
*originally aired on Half Moon BK 4-13-22 15:00 EST

Jamming With Malzof returns for Ep. 2 with music released by Chicago-based label Guidance Recordings. The label was active from 1996-2004, with a few recently restored archives from Callisto/DKMA z”l. The label had a focus on Deep House & many other genres, including a cultivation of “lounge” and atmospheric. All tracks shared are from Guidance, except for one track “Day Dreaming” played by one of the original label founders, Spencer Kincy/Gemini, who quickly left the label and released music elsewhere, such as on Peacefrog due to sonic and other differences.

Jamming With Malzof Radio is an exploration of and tribute to dance music labels & artists releasing tracks from the 80s to the early aughts. Jamming With Malzof radio will hone in on a specific label, affiliated artists and their musical connections, sharing some of the context for the music and insights from your host @JMALLisART (ig/twitter) @Malzof (soundcloud)

Soothers #04 is brought to you by Pasta Kebab, who navigates us through a downtempo, tribal mix to add to your relaxation ritual.

"I take pleasure in extracting the calm within a song, when it may seem chaotic at first. I adore the subjectivity in each track, I’m not always a fan of the obvious and I want people to put on their voyeuristic hats and worm through these melodies with me. I’ve navigated these past few months by keeping focused on what matters, I’m constantly evolving, growing and learning how to pause and breathe. I’ve found the sweet spot in my relaxation rituals with these songs combined with the help of my plants, as always, to keep me grounded. The cherry on top of this soothers mix is my final track, Lord Tusk, Space Invaders, a track that my crew always end our night with, and is an absolute soother groover for my mind."

NYC label Palto Flats focuses on a carefully selected program of reissues and new material, bringing attention to the intersection of pop, electronic, experimental and world music. The label’s intent is to work with artists on music that is both accessible and idiomatic, bringing these constructive contrasts to light.

Continuing the exploration. This new piece is a deep dive into a specific concept, carried by somber waves and a dense, foundational low-end. Thank you for being part of this sonic development and supporting my artistic journey.
