Little Girl (heartbroken scratch mix)

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.

MPmix002 - SoLaRkaT - In Dedication to MLK Jr

Alala One (@alalaone)- DJ, producer and all-around staple of the Colorado techno scene - is our contributor for the month of February. She has been DJing for over 15 years and collecting records for longer - and her mixes, needless to say, reflect her refined talent as a selector.  But her work within the scene has not been limited to DJing; she's also been intimately involved with the curation and production of the respected (but recently retired) Boulder-based festival Communikey.  With beginnings playing parties for CO's long-running collective Mother Earth Sound System (MESS), she's spent years immersed in her passion and has since spun alongside Nina Kraviz and DJ Stingray, just to name a few.  For her, DJing is a craft, and this cross-genre mix, which blends compelling, leftfield techno with off-kilter electro cuts, creates a deep listening experience that is fresh, surprising, and highly engaging.  It's.so.good.

Enjoy!

Shammy Dee x Sam Smith - How Do You Sleep

Taco Techno Tuesday is a local tradition, more hardcore than any outsider can quite grasp.

It is a "house nation" unto itself, the gotta-do-it-even-on-a-weekday-tribe... and one of its high holidays is Acid Night.

With vibes you can cut with a knife, and 303 bass-lines oozing from the walls, Acid Night is a weekday gathering of friends just trying to stay sane through another Tuesday crash. When the weekend wears off, and you are still in love, then you know its the real thing. Acid Night.

***Special thanks to Emyli Dahlia, Laru, Tess, and the wonderful folk who run Tennyson's. Also to our crazy dancers who join us every party, while we thrash it out together.

We love our friends, we love our city, and we sure as hell love tacos!!
