You said you wanted some mixes, so...

SoLaRkaT AKA Victor John AKA Coldfuture AKA that dude from way back, doing the January 2019 mix for Moss Pig. 

This is another mix in an attempt to describe Front Range Hardcore, the acid-tweeked, ineffable style of the Colorado scene.

This episode is a reaction to the state of affairs today in our country, as well as a meditation on those who came before us and paved the way for equality among different ethnicities.

Martin Luther King Jr was a living cross-roads in history. For this recording I tried to place myself at that cross-roads, an observer & supporter. A perspective from right in the middle of the chaos, the tension of the Civil Rights Movement, and of the tensions that exist across our land in the present.

"We go forward... we go back" Leto Atreides II

MPmix002 - SoLaRkaT - In Dedication to MLK Jr

Raw. Analogue Techno. Techno flavored Techno. Roland 16-step focused live jammed beats. Guitar pedals, verb tanks, gates, modular patch cables, white noise, urban samples...all mixed to a techno/house grove with attention given to subtle modulations on nearly all parts of the track.
The artistic freedom to settle in, carve out the groove, paint the aesthetic, proceed with artistic integrity and intention, and liberate the music already inside. My hope is only to connect with the people looking for honest, uncompromising art, and inspire them again to see the future as we once did in the past in early Chicago and Detroit. The world is on a temporary detour in terms of commercialized techno and laptop DJ pandemonium. Vinyl...the only phuture vision worth holding on to...the last analogy to Detroit. Computers were never the future...they were always just a 2d facsimile of it. The future was only ever captured in the raw art, the rave innocence, of the modulation of machines, sample pads, and turntables. Peace, Love, Unity and Respect...all while dancing, trusting, dreaming of the future while jacking a bass bin at 5am. It was only ever about the music moving your body.  Miles, Mills, Mayday, Atkins, Voorn, Roy Davis Jr., Principle...those are the gentlemen on my mind tonight, as the music finds its way out of the liberated machines.  If you want to see for yourself just how we rock the machines, here you go:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz-Ybf2cTD4

Deep Club is a record label, collective, series of parties, and devotion to American dance music that stretches from Denver, Colorado to Brooklyn, NY. Initiated in 2013 by a committed group of midwestern-raised DJs, Deep Club has cultivated a space in which developed and new forms of house and techno can be shared with the greater community. By marrying their club-level sound system with a DIY ethos, they present a focused vision and experience around their events. Over the last ten years Deep Club has hosted acclaimed talent like Marcellus Pittman, The Black Madonna, and Mike Huckaby at their dance-until-sunrise parties. A string of colorful and well-curated 12-inch vinyl releases and DJ mixes marks the outward and continuous growth of the Deep Club label concept.​ In 2021 a new chapter, Jewel, was carefully designed and executed in Brooklyn. Jewel aims to merge elements of American audiophilia with Midwestern and East Coast dance music roots.

True love meets music machines.

Moss Pig is an all-hardware electronic live act, comprised of veteran raver SoLaRkaT aka Coldfuture & his best friend Neptune Luau.

Every performance is an attempt to capture the rawest spiritual times on the dancefloor, and rework their vibes on the machines in the moment.

¡Quiero Moss!
