"This mix was a re-creation of a set I did at the Stream Informer Glen Falls House party this past June. I recorded the live set and was hoping to release that, but I was redlining a little too hard, and the recording came out hopelessly distorted. I was really proud of the mix and put a lot of work into it, so 3 months after the fact I decided to revisit it.

In preparing the set initially I decided to pretend I was playing to the sunrise even though the set ended at 4AM. Sunrise for me means… trance, I guess. It was a really cute party and lots of friends (Alyce included!) were there providing tons of warm and wiggly energy. I remember looking out and seeing someone twerking on the subwoofer at one point. My summer was kind of up and down after that, so it was a really positive memory to revisit.

I did this incarnation of the mix in my living room with 2 old CDJ 2000s, one XDJ 700 that I borrowed from my friend Danny, and my Mastersound 4 rotary mixer. I spent one day practicing, then did two full takes over the next two evenings. The take you’re hearing right now was the last one that I recorded. Looking back at the tracklist, one thing that stands out is how much new music I played, which is pretty rare for me. You’re not usually gonna see this much music from 2020 and beyond in a Tony G tracklist."

Notes on the Mix ///
"This was a mix I recorded on a whim one night shortly before moving out of New York. I was trying to sell some records before I moved and thought I’d go through some of the house records on my shelves that I wasn’t super familiar with. This mix was the result… safe to say i didn’t sell any of these records! 

PS: I recorded this mix a few months ago and went back just recently to figure out the tracklist.. most of them I remembered pretty easily, a few took some deeper digging through the record shelf, and there’s one track that, as of this mix being released, I cannot ID! It’s on the tip of my tongue.. maybe i’ll come back and update the tracklist at some point. Anyways, hope you enjoy!"

B18. Tony Giambrone

Hello and welcome to my kitchen. I am Tony Giambrone, a descendant of Italians on my father's side. Here is how I make red sauce. I wish I could say that it was a family recipe. Instead it borrows heavily from alt-comedian Eric Wareheim's Nonna Sauce, with some modifications and some key instructions on incorporating your sauce with the pasta. It is a great, easy, meatless meal to make for friends and family. I hope that it pairs well with the music I have selected, which starts with jazz to help those alliums simmer and lands with an italo-disco chef's kiss, traversing many records that I love to listen to while I cook in between. I hope you love it as much as I love you.

Ingredients:

1 box of your favorite pasta 
1/2 cup high quality olive oil
One large yellow onion
One head of garlic with nice big cloves
A couple of leaves of basil
2 large cans of whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes 
Oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper
A wedge of fresh parmesan cheese

Method:

1. Gather 4 to 6 friends at whoever’s house has the most comfortable kitchen.
2. If you drink alcohol, make a round of Americanos:
Fill a short glass with ice. Add one part Campari, one part sweet Vermouth, and two parts soda water. Garnish with an orange peel. Give it a quick whirl around the rim of the glass before you twist it and drop it into the drink. Fragrance is half the battle.
3. Hit play on the mix that accompanies this recipe
4. Dice your onion and garlic (the whole damn head!)
5. Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven or large sauce pan over very low heat. Add the garlic and a few basil leaves. Let it simmer for about ten minutes to infuse the garlic and basil into the oil. Be careful not to let the garlic burn! Stir often. 
6. Remove the garlic and basil from the oil and set aside.
7. Turn the heat up to medium and add the onion. Simmer for another ten minutes until the onion is translucent and soft. 
8. Add back in your garlic and basil as well as a pinch of oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. 
9. Add your tomatoes. Turn up the heat until the sauce starts to boil, then lower it to a gentle simmer. Start to gently crush the tomatoes against the side of the pot. Careful! They have a tendency to squirt their juices at you. Never wear a white shirt while you’re cooking sauce!
10. If you have a parmesan rind lying around for some reason, don’t be afraid to toss that in there for some added flavour.
11. Let the sauce simmer for at least an hour, until the tomatoes have broken down and the whole thing takes on a nice chunky but smooth consistency. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally. 
12. Cook your pasta in a big pot of salted water until it’s just below al dente.
13. Reserve a cup of pasta water. 
14. Drain the pasta and add it back into the pot you cooked it in over low heat. 
15. Add a generous amount of your sauce to the pot. Stir it heartily for about a minute, slowly adding a few splashes of pasta water, until the noodles are coated in the sauce. 
16. Turn off the heat. Drizzle in some more olive oil, and grate some parmesan into it. Continue to stir until everything is combined. 
Serve with fresh basil and more fresh grated parmesan to garnish.
17. Consider serving with a side arugula salad, roasted vegetables, chicken thighs, eggplant parmesan… the list goes on! Mangia!

Living Room n°85 ~ @living_roooom sleep set

8.5 hour hybrid set recorded on the 8th of February 2025, 23:30-08:00 at Oficina Municipal do Teatro in Coimbra, Portugal by @asiootus and @usofusofusofusof

~~~

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. Hi we’re asio and usof from the Living Room crew


q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. We were invited to perform a sleep show by the Ouvido Absoluto crew in Coimbra. We were very excited because playing a sleep set was always something we wanted to do. We've been collecting tracks specifically for an occasion like this for many years. On top of the different tracks we were improvising with a variety of digital instruments, to create an organic canvas of sound that is always moving, but very slowly. The idea of influencing dreams with music is one aspect that we found particularly interesting. So for that reason the set is not always focused on creating comfort, but rather different, sometimes quite alien moods.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Sleeping and dreaming.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room…
a. Perhaps the red desk light in Cosmos (technically our living room:). it creates a very cozy atmosphere.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. The whole Living Room crew is soon set off to play at Waking Life. After that we’ll have a string of events in Lisbon, with the next one being on the 6th of July.

"this transmission is a calibration device

i found it in the springtime under a shower of pink blossoms
my spirit, an ooze seeping out onto the floor
in this state of sub-being, words passed through untethered—
unintelligible, and touch was void

the device sent rippling waves through the air,
arranging it into mutating forms
they traveled inward and rebounded, inverting inside and out
wisps of feeling newly embodied pushed boldly from every pore

i watched as the shapes of people grew unimaginably
the glimmering swells were interspersed with pearls
which gradually came loose and fell
unlocked, my innermost madness unfurled into a spiraled conch

as the day darkened, the sounds became grim and hoarse
emotions scraped against each other with serrated edges
disintegrating madness into a fine lunar silt
voices came flooding, and in unison whispered: trust"
