lyrics
We are here to help.
We cannot save you if you stay hidden.
Your homes are not safe.
Come out and be collected.
Leave your homes and join us.

You are safe with us.
Your homes and churches will not protect you.
Disregard all previous instructions and come outside.
Join Us.
We can take you to shelter.

Evacuation is mandatory.
This area is not safe.
Exit your homes and move directly towards us.
Do not look around. Do not look up.
The color you see in the sky is not real.

Penultimate Transmission (mebitek & iconDark)

Recorded live on Saturday, March 25, 2023 in the Yurt at the Ever Afters Campout from roughly 4am to 6am. For Barrett and Davide. "They walk serene in spaces between."

In the Yurt

This mix is dedicated to opening. I had the good fortune to open for two fantastic events @Qaotiq-sf and Ever Afters - this mix contains a lot of tracks from the former with some new stuff I’ve been on sprinkled in there. I’ve found that opening allows for a little more creative freedom, giving space for a borderless dynamic. Attempting to recapture the essence felt on the floor is a fool’s errand, but I tried my best to record this while putting myself in that headspace. 

Been sitting on @MattBrownell’s words that opening for special events is a lot like being a Master of Ceremonies. Setting the table for the night. Imagine I’m watching people fill into the open floor, slowly welcoming attendees to the beautiful digital sound forest created by Envelope Soundsystem and @loafbkr. The beats are spaced out in parts, moody, up-tempo moments that come and go. (My happy place, tbh) The night is early, there’s a long way to go, and here is the first leg of your journey.

THEATH*MANNING, The Bronze Cup

A few months ago I had the very real pleasure to play a morning set for Chiilits 2023. Been meaning to post this for a while, but you know, life and all that. I was sitting listening to it with my sister and she was like, what am I waiting for? Anyway, this leans pretty dark for a morning set, as there are tendrils from the night before, following up dear friends with darker sets. Just where my headspace was at. It was incredibly special to spend that weekend with so many generous hearts and ears. Love to my camp crew, new friends, and especially to the Chillits committee for the opportunity. <3 

(Best listened to with headphones, speakers around you)
