Bass Down Low 1/20/23

Philadelphia-based filmmaker, deejay, and host of The Beauty Parlor nail salon (@nailsalon) threads sounds from his everyday across songs that offer a moment of respite against the banal corporate grind. A format well loved by Moods where artists take a time or moment as a point of departure (see: Anne Lacy, Icarus Redux, Jasen Loveland), nail salon fills critical caps across our sonic catalogue from rap to ambient to left field. To read the full interview, head here: https://moods.substack.com/p/moods-63-nail-salon

Moods is community-curated and community-supported. By helping us out, you're directly supporting artist commissions, curator fees, merchandise, and materials for parties. Consider subscribing to our Substack (https://moods.substack.com/), or give us a buck, four, or more a month directly: danielsharp.cargo.site/Moods

We’ve paired nail salon's mix with an org chart work by Simon Denny, the legendary artist whose practice takes the material (or debris) of corporations to point out hypocrisies, redundancies, and the failure of business to meet the demands of today’s world. It’s a clean, neat match for a mix that considers just the same.

For more on Simon, we recommend this interview with Duncan Ballantyne-Way: https://fineartmultiple.com/blog/simon-denny-artist-interview/

Philly scene stalwart @nailsalon hops in the mix. Kris is a real head and a student of the art of DJing. If you dig the vibe, check out his Beauty Parlor show on Great Circles radio and his work as part of the larger Bass Down Low collective.

"congrats, you died"

💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 3/2/24 between 4-5am💥

We're absolutely delighted to have this bill rounded out by our newest resident and team member, Nail Salon. Nail Salon has stepped up at Bounce House as a solo artist and as part of Bass Down Low, and is a no-nonsense student of the history and craft of music and DJing. Coupled with his confident but laid-back manner, focus on pursuing and creating opportunities, hands-on approach to making things happen, measured ego, and impeccable dedication to recording and documentation, we are thrilled to have Kris on board.

nail salon - Live at Bounce House 3/2/24

💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 11/16/24 between 12-6am💥

Timetable:
nail salon 12-2
Miguel Cisne 2-4
Miguel Cisne b2b nail salon 4-6

A meeting of minds, muscles, and music: we're pleased to put on an absolutely no-nonsense lineup of serious techno-heads. Coming up on midwestern musical sensibilities,  we have two serious students of the history and politic of dance music, enthusiasts of gritty machine-funk, hands-on gear-turners in their respective scenes, and good friends of many years. It's a pleasure to present a longer form exploration of techno's transistor rhythm and semiconductor soul from these two: Detroit's Miguel Cisne and Bounce House resident Nail Salon. 

Miguel is dedicated to the craft, technology, lifestyle, and working culture of techno. Living, working, and playing in Detroit, he is involved in all facets of the groundwork of techno, from heady, serious, DJing to event production. He is out and about working sound in Detroit, notably recently helping speaker designer and workshop Bing Audio deploy the pristine, powerful, point-source stacks at events like Return To The Source. Part of the Moods collective, Miguel has a mind for the expansive sensibilities beyond any given selector's dancefloor lay-ups. Never afraid to roll up a Carhartt-clad sleeve and get involved, we've even had Miggy hop onto our lighting controller during a foggy moment years ago. It's a pleasure to welcome the musical school of Detroit!

You know Nail Salon by now to keep this note brief, but we're excited to have a longer window for Kris to work his magic. Hungry for a wide range of music, constantly exploring, studying, and learning, Nail Salon's DJ flow is informed by a heady focus, sincere dedication to the craft, and frothing up many of Philly's rambunctious dancefloors both solo and as part of bellicose trio Bass Down Low, including a recent Halloween-adjacent appearance at burgeoning pop-up party High Beam.

Miguel Cisne & nail salon - Live at Bounce House 11/16/24

💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 1/1/25 between 4:30-6am💥

It's a real joy to be able to say, at the end of each year, something to the effect of "wow, that was a wild ride!" and reflect on a roller coaster of highs and lows, new insights, perspectives, constellations, and lessons learned. And indeed, 2024 has been a joyous adventure of bright triumphs to celebrate and knotted gnarls to untangle. There's a quiet sense of precarity simmering under all things when one operates in the cutty twilight zone of the barely-legitimate real-deal underground, so it's always truly precious when we have a chance to notch one more soaring night together and to celebrate a big loop through time, despite the feeling that the clock is ticking. So after the last grains of temporal sand have slipped out of the hourglass of 2024, join us to flip the whole thing over, inside, and out, and take the first steps into 2025. 

Alternatively, if you're not into the foofy auspicious stuff like spiritually traversing the sand of time, and tracing meaning and destiny through solar and sidereal time and blablablabla, just come through to shake your ass, pop some bottles, hoot and holler, get a sloppy post-midnight new year's kiss, and kick off 2025 with fun and flair.... so come n' get it!!! We're thrilled to celebrate another HAPPY NEW YEAR with you!!!

We'll have Bounce House's reliable, adventurous residents taking us into dawn - familiar faces and seasoned selectors with the right sensibilities for surprise and celebration: that's Furtive, DJ Anarres, and Nail Salon, getting your asses moving across a free-form timetable, and Emme and Masina keeping those rowdy asses managed.
