The long awaited next installment of our mix series comes courtesy of left field sonic coordinator, disc jockey, producer and radio host Andrew Ross. Andrew’s been steering listener’s ears into the weirder waters of Balearica for time with his long-running party Love Below, regular radio appearances on n10.as, and FSR, and DJing both solo and as half of duo The Loveblock with local wizard Linus Booth. 

Recorded live @ The Little Jerry: nearly 3 hrs of shimmering new wave, vocoder dub, slo-mo Goa, dreamy piano house, breakbeat industrial, kraut, and modular electronica. Put yer earbuds in tight and roll down that hill. 

Catch another live edition of The Love Block @ The Little Jerry tonight- Fri June 30

Little Jerry mix series

Andrew Ross live @ The Little Jerry - 03-31-2023 -

Restrained freakout sonics and subcranial rhythms from the Chennai-based @icarus-redux — “earth-moving kicks, baleful, eyes-dilated synths, and rough, mostly unsampled breakbeats. Fog machine bathing all as one.” 

Inspired as an artist by a mixed bag of artists and theorists that cast light on the darkness - Fisher, Graeber, Preciado, Shadow, Thaemlitz, Tiqqun, Weatherall - an Icarus Redux mix (of which there are many amazing ones on their Soundcloud) has a distinct ebb and flow, often reminding me of early cut-and-paste techniques or Richie Hawtin’s Decks x EFX mixes that reassemble contexts on a micro-level, not just layering tracks over each other but reconstructing them. highlighting the spaces between the notes, the snatches of memory that flit through your brain.

A lot of the tracks from the early 2010s are records I remember hearing and playing when I lived in Leeds, which I had associated with a very different scene that I naively believed at the time would never truly take off Stateside. At the same time, Disclosure were getting big then and I thought the US would pass them over - from downloading italo and house rips off of Bicep's old blog to seeing them headline warehouses in Brooklyn that charge $40+ admission (both Disclosure and Bicep, at this rate it's probably $60+...mais je divague).

Days Of Steam 008: Icarus Redux

HACIENDA - JAN 27, 1991 - From the lost master tapes which turned up in storage last year, the raw master from my only Hacienda appearance in Manchester, U.K.   No editing or remastering, this is the raw uncut which I feel is important to keep in its original form.  There is a couple of glitches and noise issues but that is to be expected from a 24 year old DJ mix.

HACIENDA - JAN 27, 1991

After a long, hot summer sojourn we are back with another mix courtesy of none other than Ali Black. AliBlack416 - the oft imitated never duplicated deejay, collector, producer, radio host and rave facilitator, who lives rent free in so many of our most resonant dancefloor memories. Ali's been holding the scene down for over 25 years with his productions, radio Nite Beat Radio, vaunted Toronto party Over + Over, and DJ appearances in a host of diverse Toronto and int'l venues. 
When you talk about style- the ineffable way in which a dj makes you move and makes you feel that  you can't quite put your finger on- Ali's got it in spades, diamonds + hearts. Mixing deep house into Serbian pop into sleazy disco, new wave, boogie and anything else you might conjure up- Ali's sets literally bring people to their feet and bring them together. He's also one of the best technical deejays in the game but you're really not thinking about that as you're gettin' down with wild abandon. We hate to use the word legend cause that infers he's not still doing it. 

So here it is- just over 90 mins of dance floor wax from an artist we are lucky to know and have in this city. Big big love from everyone at the Jerry- oh wait- GUESS WHAT??? He's playing here THIS SATURDAY!!! You best reach if you know what's good.

DJ Ali Black mix for Jerry February 2023.mp3

@miseryconfusion at Hemlock Nights on Saturday morning.

'For a long time, I felt uncertain about what to play at Honcho for Hemlock Nights. It wasn’t until my friend Kayla (Seelene) asked, “So, you’re just going to play the Bobby afters classics, right?” that I began to break through the doubt. While this set includes a lot of new music for me, I took comfort in the tracks I often share with friends at home. My goal was to create a more intimate and personal space to introduce myself to a new audience.'

Campout Mix Series: 'nohup'

A fantasy inspired mix I did for the lovely folks at Borscht Radio https://borscht.live/public/borscht_radio

"One thing I can say with certainty that has informed my identity just as much as music is my love for reading, my bandcamp collection rivalled only by my vast collection of books and comics that take over most corners of my apartment. And just like ambient music has an especially big place in my heart, the same can be said about fantasy novels. 

From my childhood favourite series The Edge Chronicles (the map of which I got tattooed across my chest as an adult) to Ursula K Le Guin’s Earthsea books, to modern masterpieces like Simon Jimenez’s The Spear Cuts Through Water, these books have imprinted themselves on my very being. They imagine worlds of magical possibility, but also don’t shy away from very real and increasingly immediate topics such as war, xenophobia, greed, mans exploitation of the earth, of women, of children, of innocence and all things good. Even in the older classics like Lord of the Rings where the line between good and evil are much more obvious than the grey morality of our world, there exists within much more relatable human stories of friendship, of commitment to those you love and those who will come after, of putting your life on the line for the future prosperity of those you believe should be protected.

I am not ashamed to admit that I try to live my life according to how my favourite characters in fantasy would act. I think there is this idea that reading fantasy should be an escape, but I refute that, much like I disagree that ambient music should be used simply as a balm to block out the world and help us ignore reality. These books and music that we love that imagine a better world make me want to live life in a way where we can make that happen, standing strong with our communities and forever fighting against injustice."

"This mix was recorded at Chillits, a nonprofit, DIY ambient-experimental-ish musical gathering in the woods of Northern California, now in its 26th year. I played late Saturday night, in the deep listening hours, following Rrose, Jon Carr, and William Selman.

I spent the weeks leading up to Chillits tinkering and editing some tracks, including recording and processing my own spoken word bits that I overlaid on two tracks (Ure Thrall and Aleksi Perälä). It's the first time I've ever done that, and I think it turned out well.

I'm very grateful to all of the Chillits organizers and volunteers for producing such a lovely gathering and to Hi-Vis for hosting this recording. Enjoy the mix!"
