DIRTY 30

Its truly impossible to overstate the monumental achievement it is to spend hours of my life putting this mix back together bit by bit from various ARC dead drops and old payphones we use to communicate with our artists. It's even harder to make nearly a double album of fresh material and yet here we are celebrating the soft squishy brain of the Junted Man HimSelf Marshal Applewhite. Let this insane blend of Old reaktor ensembles, broken Ableton projects and squidgy synth bits take you away.

ARCMIX029 - Marshall Applewhite - Gas Station Speed Beats

Known for his deep roots in hip hop and techno, Detroit based @Craig-Gonzalez delivers a mix that's as unexpected as it is mesmerising. Set at 105 BPM, this techno-infused journey might have started with some tired beats, but Craig's masterful touch turned it into something truly special. With a rich history of DJ'ing and a style influenced by legends like Mike Huckaby and Donato Dozzy, Craig’s mix is an experience you won't want to miss.

Hack (feat Applewife) Cocky Balboa Mix

Hot Mass and Detour have been immensely important for me over the years, in ethos, quality and love of the dance floor. With the guidance and inspiration they provide over the years, whether they know it or not, they helped inspire @headcleanercolumbus, [monthly series I co-found and run in Columbus, OH].

To be able to express what I wanted for nearly 4 hours then handing it off to Nikki Nair, was a dream come true.

As I listened through the whole mix I realized that I played more of my own music than anything, paired with music from friends and artists I have grown to love over the years. I don't think there is a better representation of who I am sonically. 

Thank you to Naeem, Alex, Gusto and the Hot Mass staff/crew for providing such an awakening experience!

STRX010: Satellite Trax presents “We Dress For Dinner EP” - a buffet of homegrown dubplates by Joel Dunn, best known as Marshall Applewhite.

0:00 - Acid Beans
1:00 - Ravioli Raid
2:00 - Old Risotto Lung Charlie
3:00 - Meat Droplets
4:00 - Sunday Dishes
5:00 - Mr. Vain Cover (Bandcamp Exclusive)

As we continue our mission of dancefloor exploration into the colder days ahead, we reanimate one of our favorite revenants from the bottomless underworld to warm us back up. 

An immortal product of the robust Detroit scene, Joel Dunn now serves as a commander in our growing Satellite Trax fleet. Last year's "Michigan & Rosa EP" [STRX008] under his dubstep-centric alias OktoRed cracked our foundation with blistering bass weight. This time, he returns to our sublabel by way of his Marshall Applewhite project, cunningly named after the deranged leader of Heaven's Gate.

Known for cultivating bass workouts that gravitate towards modern electro, Marshall Applewhite is back with a fresh tracklist of cult classics. "We Dress For Dinner EP" is a hate letter to the eerie autumn breeze felt after supper, capturing the essence of our shapeshifter's many stylistic forms. For his slower paced, hypnosis-inducing tracks, he has coined the term "sludge" as a niche descriptor and potential subgenre to build upon. This can be heard in the opener "Acid Beans," a midtempo meltdown and theme song of experiencing poison damage. The EP looks into the future with "Ravioli Raid," stepping on the tempo throttle with its clear ghettotech influence and ode to pasta. "Old Risotto Lung Charlie" keeps the octane flowing through cleverly syncopated yet unforgiving bassline intended to devour dimly lit dancefloors. The acidic bassline in "Meat Droplets" is an insignia of Detroit dwellers, assembled around an inimitable groove reminiscent of early techno mornings. "Sunday Dishes" is a suitable pick-me-up for weekend warriors in the form of smooth, tasteful jungle with no aftertaste. 

As a newfound tradition and homage to last year's "Vengabus" on STRX008, Marshall Applewhite closes with another Bandcamp-exclusive track. "Mr. Vain Cover" flips Culture Beat's 90s anthem into a DJ tool drenched in his "sludge" aesthetic. What he hilariously described as "MTV techno" is willfully drained into a garbage disposal for our morbid curiosity.

There are few entities that better represent our personal slice of the Motor City's vibrant underground than Marshall Applewhite. His latest offering is yet another testament to the urban grit and grueling bass that are integral components of our sonic DNA. Let "We Dress For Dinner EP" serve as the otherworldly soundtrack to your next social gathering - dissatisfaction guaranteed, or your money back. 

Satellite Trax - an expansion of our core imprint that focuses on dance-centric music and its club roots; part of the foundation within our sonic heritage. This sublabel serves as a primary source of dancefloor weaponry for DJs and enthusiasts aiming to unveil the latest rhythms heard from around the electronic music sphere.

If edm is drug music, Marshall Applewhite is the anti drug. Every 16 year old on molly would run from this stuff. Every person who understands underground dance music though, they will get it, they will love it.
