The Questions
-Where, geographically, did you grow up? Was it a single place or many places?
 I grew up in a very small suburb of Detroit called Huntington Woods, at 11 Mile & Woodward. I never really lived anywhere else, though I did move within Huntington Woods a couple times until my parents settled in their current home. Huntington Woods is a well-off town. Very Jewish (like me). It’s comprised mostly of houses, a small elementary school, a library, a rec center, a small city hall, a few parks, and 2-3 businesses on the border roads (no restaurants). I feel an urge to say more but that pretty much says it all.

-Can you pick one song in the mix and explain where you first listened to it?
The Sonny Rollins track was a find from my Dad’s CD collection. It’s off the album saxophone colossus, an album I would later find on vinyl at a shop in Chicago. When I first started driving I’d often snag CDs from our living room and listen to them on repeat in the car. So the first time I heard that song was the first play through of that album in my 2002 Toyota Camry. It was the first jazz ballad I fell in love with. The conviction with which he plays the saxophone on that song is really heart wrenching.

- Who "introduced" you to these songs? Was it a person, a radio station, a CD?
Hard to point to any one thing, person, or music platform that introduced me to these songs. Since the mix was all-vinyl, some of the albums (like saxophone colossus) were ones I knew about and felt I needed to have a physical copy of. The rest I discovered from shazaming songs off of Jazzy Nights sets, connecting with records from my parents’ collection, being lectured about jazz music by the old hippies at PJ’s Records (RIP) in Ann Arbor, hearing stuff from the WCBN library, or going down discogs rabbit holes. Honestly, my collection is old enough (~10 years) at this point where it’s starting to feel unclear to me how exactly I discovered these pieces of music — they’ve just been in my cabinet for a long time. I do remember in particular someone telling me the story about Miles Davis’s Four and More (the album that has the song “Four” on it), how it was recorded live from the New York Philharmonic Hall, and how Tony Williams was 16 years old playing standards at 2-3x speed like a pro. But I don’t remember who told me that story, I just remember finding the record and being really stoked.

- Where and when did you first hear techno?
I think I first heard something that could be described as Techno back in late 2000s/early 2010s: Hardstyle, UKF Dubstep stuff, Deadmau5, etc. I never thought much about who it sounded like it was for, probably Eastern European ravers and/or gamers. Honestly, I was never really interested in Techno (as a snot-nosed kid, actively anti-electronic music) until I learned about the history/connection to Detroit 4 years ago.  

- Where can we find more of you?
Would just like to promote my weekly internet radio show Finjams and remind people to tune in every Sunday from 10am-noon on 8ballradio.nyc & say hello in the chatroom - archive: https://www.mixcloud.com/8ballradio/playlists/finjams-with-jordan-and-gilad

DJ Promo Mixtape Vol 1

Santuario is your sanctuary for deep electronic beats ranging from house music, electro and techno music, featuring music from underground labels throughout the world. This is a holy place for the music that drives us all.

Featuring music by Drexciya, Simone Starr, Claude Young, Boo Williams, Galcher Lustwerk, The Reflektor, Gary Martin, Omar S, a classic by Aphrodisiac (aka Ronald Burrell) and much more.

This month’s episode features Guest mix by a @miguelcisne from Ypsilanti, Michigan (Limited Network, Detroit).

From sound engineering to running a student led DJ collective in his hometown, Miguel Cisne’s midwest sensibilities and work ethic have jump started his music career. His practice is influenced by his locality; warehouse parties, record shops, Tectroit and the city of Detroit. While well versed in the fast and hard style of play, he’s unafraid to step out of the 4-4 mold into his own style.

Moods (2017-ongoing) is a community of nightlife workers, techno fans, and artists that platforms music outside of techno. We explore our community’s roots and origins to understand how music migrates from one geography and generation to another. We do this through monthly mixes, merchandise, and low-capacity events.

You're welcome to help pay and pave the way by giving $1, $4, or $20 a month here to support the project. Each Moods Mixer gets paid $50 for their mix—or we donate it to a cause or charity of their choice. The rest of the money fronts costs for merch, a Soundcloud or Substack subscription, and archive maintenance. To do so, head here: https://danielsharp.cargo.site/Moods

Season Seven (2024) is co-organized by, in alphabetical order:
Miguel Cisne, he/they (@miguelcisne)
