On Fridays, as the last work day of the week approaches 2100 hours,  the garbage and recycling chutes from arcologies around the world open, spilling any offerings of week from the upper levels to the lower levels. Orphans, drifters, miscreants, the augmented, illegals, the desperate, the unemployed, and sometimes the occasional adventurous upper level dweller will often await its opening eagerly. The junk heap begins to fill as this week's offerings of obsolete or broken technology, spoiled foodstuffs (and pristine offerings from earlier in the day), and the occasional body or firearm (from upper level gang violence) falls and tumbles out onto the depositing yard below.  

This is a wonderful bounty to be had for the destitute. While the nice automated deposit yards are usually controlled by bio-manufacturing or recycling corps, most of the ones where this ritual occurs are run by the local gangs, punks, or shadow societies. Safety standards at these gatherings are haphazard at best; there have been incidents that have occurred where some attendants were crushed by falling debris. The upper and lower level denizens usually have an understanding and respect the ritual as an cordial interchange. In a world of excess, sometimes convenience is a lot easier if everyone benefits. The "pit bosses" are also known for their fair and equitable treatment of all citizens of the lower levels. This gathering is known as "Funday" in the arcologies and hive cities in the North American Federated States. In South American Colonia (SAC), the locals call it "la misa", akin to the old Sunday religious gatherings that occurred in the early 21st century before religion was banned throughout the world.    

When the last of the refuse land in the junk heap and the garbage chutes close, the junk heap is secured by yard workers, inspected by the on-site safety manager, and sorted with help from some 1st gen HumanMashcine workers. Items are tagged and appraised accordingly.  Then, the local "priests" will come and give their blessings by saying a few incantations and related techno babble, giving thanks to the upper denizens for their generosity. The DJs and musicians will then start their set, cranking up the volume and pumping out some nice grooves from antique speakers and subwoofers. Thus begins the "Funday" festivities that will last until dawn. 

While the sorting and appraisal is occurring, the populace, eager to receive the offerings of the week, will approach the staging area of the deposit yard where pit workers will hand out a number of chits. Chits are used for the auctioning of the sorted goods. The number of chits are given are also dependent of your contribution towards lower level society. A slum-doc might be earn more chits, compared to a lower level enforcer.  

Once chits are handed out, the procession of the destitute will shuffle and dance in an orderly fashion towards the deposit yard. The sacred ritual of the dance, bound by tradition throughout the decades, is strictly adhered to. Individuals will patiently roam the deposit yard and place bids on items they value using their chits, similar to an open English auction. Food and drink vendors, subsidized by the pit bosses, will also offer their goods to the participants in return for chits that they can spend. Dancing, chanting, bidding, and general extolling of the generosity of upper level citizens reaches a fever pitch by midnight.

Procyon alveare, or hive raccoons commonly known, will often attend 'Funday' gatherings a few hours before midnight, preferring though to dance and observe from sidelines. Tonight on 'Wanderers of the Megacity: Funday Mass', we will be broadcasting live from Shikaakwa-Arco, taking a closer look at these nocturnal animals and their fascinating behavior that continues to surprise scientists. 

This program will continue after these important announcements from the North American Federated States.

Following her first solo outing and years of experience as one half of the well-regarded Husky project, Ukrainian DJ and producer ALIIRA returns with a confident new step forward. 

Her Escucha EP on Zatar brings together two original tracks and two standout remixes, showcasing both her evolving solo voice and her deep roots in the club landscape.

The title track “Escucha” is a vibrant, punchy, electro-leaning house cut built around infectious vocal chops and crisp percussion. It’s a track that balances energy with clarity, direct and effective, but never overworked. 

Danish producer NILU (DK) and Zatar Labelhead Phonique take the reins on the remix, flipping the track into a more angular and urgent, sharp and edgy rework that leans into tension and groove, tailored for peak-time play.

The second track, “Devi”, dives into warmer, more hypnotic tech house territory. Its rolling rhythm and subtly layered melodies are joined by processed guitar textures, lending the track a slightly psychedelic edge without losing its forward drive. 

London based producer Urmet K strips down the track to its abosulte essentials to create a trippy, grooving house cut for the summer.

ALIIRA - Devi

Produced in the shadows, designed for endless nights. This track is a slow build-up, a groove that settles in, a journey between tension and relaxation.

It’s not very widely known but, when he’s not digging for other people’s music to play out at the party, Mister Harkin spends a good deal of his time in the studio making some of his own.

Up to now, those efforts have made their way onto records for the always on point Argot imprint in Chicago and NYC's own Throne of Blood. And although he’s DJed at almost 250 Mister Saturday Night & Sunday parties since we got going in 2009, this is his debut release on the label.

It’s made up of three spaciously sculpted club scorchers, ripe and ready for the power hour, and we’re super stoked to finally be able to share them with you.

With the Motorforce EP, Pépe ( @pepmanpepe ) joins the Renascence family in its fourth installment. 
A both tear-jerking and hot-blooded collection of music inspired by long highway drives in the Spanish summer, Pépe goes from lost-in-the-tarmac-jungle percussions to relentlessly emotional energy with melllow and nostalgic synths.  Dan White brings you deeper than the Marianas trench through a light, spellbinding, dub rework under the Rings Around Saturn moniker to top off the emotional trip that this entails.

PREMIERE : Pépe - Motorforce

Stores: https://lnk.to/Dance2017-Pt3

The 3rd edition of the Dance 2017 series is a double A side featuring a track from the highly regarded Palms Trax and also the debut production from Secretsundaze aka Giles Smith & James Priestley.

Secretsundaze step up with their very first production as a duo. Both Giles and James have a catalogue of production work already, Giles as Two Armadillos with the sadly departed Martin Dawson and James alongside partners Marco Antonio Spaventi and Dan Berkson.

'Motorway Jam’ is a peak time, Detroit inspired burner with a rough analogue bassline and atmospheric detail on the top end. Keep your eyes peeled for more music from the London pair coming soon.

As the name suggests, Dance 2017 is here for one purpose and these tracks are guaranteed to make you move!

𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐅𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 ➟ Speed Boat - A Barking Tool

There was a strange flash which appeared in the mist up above as the night sky burnt a fragrant orange glow in the heat of the morning. It were as if some vast, sprawling supervoid had opened up to cause doom and disgrace to humanity which lived down below. A beast had awoken in the sky and there was a mysterious sense of warmth which hung with ominous presence in the air. This might be what hell felt like to those stuck beneath but whilst lost in this beautiful dream he was in heaven...

Metropolitan Soul Museum appear on a new split EP on Beats Of No Nation. The latest in the 'Dance Ideas' series might just be the strongest to date, four tracks of fun and fire.
