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):

This mix is about the feeling that the beginning of Spring brings - the sense of rebirth and possibility reinforced by the experience of having lived through winter. Joy, in this case, is rediscovering a familiar feeling of lightness that you'd forgotten, and living it again.

Twice does not lead to a tradition - but it feels like playing for @swimsupply 🏊 . Whenever the community organisation focusing on lysergic sounds calls, I am more than happy to meet beloved Ellen, Mark Lando and Tesdorpf and to play for their fine events.

So here is a 2h recording from my gig at Wurm in Basel / Switzerland a few months ago where I met and played with fantastic @sellyourmania and @sprtsmanship and its a rare past forward 🦦💃.

For Trushmix 239 we got Thurlow Joyce in the mix.
A producer and DJ based between Vancouver, and Berlin. His most recent record, Lemon Citrus, was released on NAFF last year and explores dub techno, trance, and other styles with additional music from Priori x Regularfantasy.

In the mix he presents varied styles of techno on the more early nineties progressive side, with some added elements of micro house, house, trance and ambient.
A one hour and twenty two  minutes of vibes.

Enjoy!
