Neptunian Influence Podcast, Twenty-Five | Featuring @taylorbratches

In anticipation of the third annual Neptunian Influence party during Movement in Detroit, we are delighted to present a mix by one of the DJs who will be serving up your musical brunch! Feast your ears on this Detroit-inspired soundscape for which Taylor Bratches says she put her "best electro foot forward."

A lifelong poet and dancer, her relationship to rhythm is intimate and ever-evolving. By creating dynamic sets that range from breakbeat, electro, IDM and leftfield techno to more polyrhythmic and arhythmic varieties of dance music, she seeks to curate an experience for the mover that is both embodied and transcendent, terrestrial and extraterrestrial. She curates the podcast Walking and Falling, an extension of the Chicago-based / Smartbar-affiliated collective and mentorship program for female-identifying and non-binary DJs.

Catch her at our party in Detroit this Saturday, May 25 alongside Carlos Souffront, ADAB and Leesh. On June 14, she'll debut at Smartbar alongside Powder, Kiddo & Sassmouth for Walking and Falling. 

Taylor and I met at the Walking and Falling mentorship program in October 2017 and we've been friends ever since. Cheers to our friendship and musical bond!

Is it reality or is it an illusion? With Neptune, it is hard to tell. Neptune's influence reaches further than the ordinary senses, so there may be aspects of extrasensory perception at work. Illusion, fantasy and dreams are the playing field here, and the spirit is the primary force. Leading to all things mysterious, Neptune's watery depths are associated with dreams, visions, and the imagination.
