These mixes are more ambient, multigenre, made for home listening. Not the same dance focused music as my other mixes.

The Vibe / Through the Waves / Cygnus Lounge

experimental

Pulling records from my collection and following wherever they take me, this mix contains ambient soundscapes, light dub beats, doom jazz, and more.  I hope you enjoy!

The Vibe 12/04/23

This mix is a journey through surreal soundscapes that struck me as dreamlike.  This mix contains ambient, drum & bass, and everything in between.

Journey 3- Dreamscapes

While Chicago dips into the negative °F on the heels of two-day rain/snow, I dipped into my vinyl collection to make this chill ambient, sometimes downtempo, occasionally jazzy mix.  Perfect for relaxing with a cup of hot brew under a blanket (or two).  

Come drift away with me!

The Vibe - 01/14/24

Hot on the heels of a move, I've got my studio back up and running.  Pulled from my vinyl collection, here is a mix that stumbles into a groove and grows from there. Mostly composed of techno, dub techno, and some ambient, I feel this mix reflects the struggles and joys I have experienced while combining households with someone.

Celer -  The Decay of Intolerance  [I]
Basic House - Scaled Composites
MJ Guider  - Evencycle
Aris Kindt  - Every New Thing
Marco Cassanelli - Free

Varg and the Hypnobirds - Bandhagen

The Vibe - 06/19/2024

Sergie Rezza - wof
Pact Infernal - Circle VI (Heresy)

Welcome to Through The Waves, Volume 2! This month’s journey takes a look a Experimental music. Eschewing traditional sounds and composition, today’s selections use noise as an instrument, explore the limits of oscillators, incorporate industrial sounds, and contain unusual composition.

Amirah (Live at UNICEF Fundraiser)

This set is a tribute to our inspirational journey through the middle east. From the Emirati desert, to the white mountains of Teheran, from the island of the Persian Gulf to the peninsula of the Mediterranean coast. We thank the people and artists that we have met through this amazing trip. 
Life is full of surprises and we are looking forward to go fly back there to play and discover more.

Souq Eleven by Tuğçe Kurtiş

Moniker Prime is a Chicago-based Producer and DJ.  

His productions tend toward bass-heavy electronica, incorporating found sound and manipulated samples.  They span genres from lo-fi downtempo, bass house, techno, breaks, and more.  

As a selector, his sets often eschew genre adherence and focus instead on the feeling and atmosphere that the sounds create.

If you have an interest in using one of his songs in a set, booking him for an event, or collaborating, you can contact him at moniker.prime@gmail.com.

Drip this hypnotic acoustic narcotic in your ears! Thank you for your interest and support!
