This mix for Memory Screen was recorded at the legendary 'Hot On The Heels' night at the California Clipper. Shortly after Halloween 2024, the enigmatic Dunkeltier (German for dark beast) played the monthly, mid-week night started nearly 20 years ago and hosted by Beau Wanzer. In his winding 2.5 hour set, Dunkeltier brought the hyper-local Neue Deutsche Welle (the commercial tag) and Kassettentäter (DIY tape scene) sounds to Chicago, exposing party goers to what he considers “THE LATER MUSICAL PENDANT TO THE 20s GERMAN DADA ART MOVEMENT.”

For those curious about the cultural background of the scenes behind the mix, here is an
interview with Dunkeltier for Discus Throwers (Wiener Brut):
