On January 22nd, 2023 the world celebrated the Lunar New Year, and the gate was opened to welcome the astrological proclivities and inclinations of the Yin Water Rabbit. Now, on February 1st, patiently and excitedly awaiting for the arrival of the Rabbit, which is to occur on February 4th, we celebrate the new year and the arrival of a very special contribution to our fledgling series, provided by the inspirational selector, and friend of many years, Cay Horiuchi.

In Cay's words: 

"This mix features some of the tracks I played for a cute underground NYE party organized by my friends in the unceded lands of the Chinook and Multnomah tribes. Living in the Pacific Northwest, this season is when I long for sunshine the most. Take a sonic journey with me all the way from South Africa, Japan, Algeria, U.S., Taiwan, and beyond. 
It’s about the celebration of the new year, 癸卯 (mizu no tou). New growth, new beginning.
It’s about dancing with your family and friends. 
It’s about the celebration of life.
It’s about love."

And so, dear listeners, in whatever state or corner of the world this mix finds you, we invite you to return to the untarnished listening you were born with, and to begin again.

@djbooshank

Something is amiss.
We have turned our backs on our natural sense awareness, we are in the age of metaverse, unexplained sightings, viruses, reality bending, hyperstition and a global network, for better or worse. Our rational world is yet to provide all the answers and it seems there is a spell, or a curse stopping our ‘best minds’ from coming close to getting a grasp on it.
What do you know? What do you know for sure?

Know Your Mountain expands on Booshank's work from his own "Couch Acid Recordings" imprint and his 12” on Butter Sessions 2019 12” "Operating With A Blown Mind", with this new digital EP he guides you through panoramas of ethereal organic technology, before you know it the clouds have dispersed and you are being led through a molecular crypt in total immersion.

It is a fine and delicate practice when you stray from functional music but these aural gems show a producer which has gone off the deep end in pursuit of his own musical vocabulary. The augment percussion, unstable pads and glowing synths dance on the edge of collapsing, they often do, before long they reform into new chemical compounds of this mad scientist creation.

You may want to start low and take it slow or else risk falling under the dream-like spell’s which are invoked throughout this EP. In my opinion, when confronted with a craft capable of this mystical candor, the only way out is through..

𓆢 Squid Inc Risotto 𓆢

2 cups arborio rice
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bottle dry white wine
1 pint stock (chicken, fish, or vegetable)
1 zucchini, shredded
½ cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
½ cup grated parmesan
Salt & pepper
Olive oil

You will notice that this dish does not contain squid, or its ink. 
Squid Inc does eat meat and fish, in small and intentional quantities, but telling you how to cook and serve our mascot felt callous. Our respect for squids is bound to both feelings of awe and of kinship. 

In the kitchen of a house on a coastline, we cook our favorite risotto, fresh and herbaceous with zucchini and mint. The rhythm of cooking risotto works as self-hypnosis. The churning spoon passed between us; the dowsing and ebbing of wine and hot stock, absorbed by the rising, swelling grains; the loud viscosity of melted cheese, glued to the silver walls of the pot. We’ve created a ritual of making this dish together, and on this night, after recording our mix for Secret Sauce, we prepare it for our friends. While clanging pot lits, chopping vegetables, and refilling our wine cups, we wonder about our kin who drift beneath the waves. We imagine a squid glinting in the dimming filtered light, her body a fleck of iridescence in the indigo abyss. 

Pour a generous coating of olive oil in the bottom of a large pot. 
Fry onions and garlic with salt and pepper. When brown, add rice.
Cook rice in olive oil until it toasts to light brown.
Add alternating pours of wine and stock, stirring continuously. Continue until the rice is soft, about 40 minutes. 
Add the shredded zucchini, continue to stir for 5 more minutes.
Add shredded cheese, fresh mint, and pine nuts, and stir until incorporated. 
Serve generously. 

Love, 
𓆢 Squid Inc 𓆢

Secret Sauce 13 - Squid Inc

aka-Sol (@acaciabaila) is an Ecuadorian DJ, producer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn. Through their Acacia Baila label, they're also a connector: they've released their own tracks and collaborations alongside releases from their friends and community, as well as thrown events at spaces like Mansions and their involvement in the Dripping event series and festival. As a DJ, their sets are genre-defying and psychedelic, bridging the gap between heady, trippy sounds and groove and percussion that go straight to the body. Their mix for us is deftly controlled chaos — a fresh, freaky take on 'fast' that's as floating and expansive as it is frenetic.

"I wanted to create a mix exploring the 150-160 bpm pocket. I feel like I have only landed in playing around these tempos a few times while DJing live, and had definitely not recorded a mix up there before. I was itching to submerge into it after a crucial year in my DJ career, where I have widely expanded the limitations of the things I feel comfortable playing.

It’s been refreshing to understand more and more that I am not an artist/DJ that could be defined by a music genre, but rather by the sensibility in which I lace the different styles and sounds I use to create narratives when constructing my sets. Another important challenge I presented to myself for recording this mix was the curiosity of understanding what kind of tunes I would select and blend for this as a non DnB nor hard techno DJ. I feel like by going through this challenge, I have opened a world of possibilities that I can’t wait to incorporate when playing out there.

In terms of feelings explored, I would say that expansiveness of the body and the mind are a recurrent element in my practice and it was very present in this mix too. I wanted to build something that could feel both complex yet fluid. Entering into deeper introspections while feeling your body being pulled in all possible directions at once until the point of surrendering into a floating state of slow movements is the only possible solution to cope with the amount of information being received.

In terms of gear, I used 2 Pioneer XDJ-700s and a Pioneer DJM 450 mixer. For the recording I use a Zoom H6 recorder."

DJ Eft is a terrestrial amphibian with roots in NJ & Philadelphia. The now Portland based DJ, producer, designer, animator, & "World Healer" has spent time slinking through the mycelial forest duff, sampling the sounds and flavors of the PNW old growth and ocean. Eft is a natural farmer with a strong connection to the cycles of nature and makes contact with the spirits regularly which guide his ethereal selections in ambient, hypnotic techno, dub techno, trance infused tech-house, 4th world, and experimental IDM. 

I first met DJ EFT, also known as Mugwert at Aqua Lucidity, a festival on the sunshine coast last year. I awoke in my tent the Saturday morning after a heavy session to amazing selections I initially thought were coming from the main and only stage. Instantly drawn to the post night early morning DMT energy coming out of his portable mini rig - we became friends. 

I later in the summer travelled down to Canyon Vibrations in Oregon to watch EFT play the downtempo stage where I entered into another realm from his selections. 

Anyway stoked to have the homie on the Inc.ternational series where we're searching far and wide for those off kilter and beautiful moments in music out of the mundane and formulaic. 

EFT has delivered a Weirdos inc. Mix for sure and i'm sure you'll enjoy!

DJ EFT (portland)~ Inc.ternational Mix Series - 03 [Weirdos inc.]

These 5 tracks are the lingering musical connecting to my home, my family and my loved ones.
All started when I was living close by to these groups and people.

They are ideas that started with warmth and appreciation.
Relocation and regulation slowly eroded the celebration of love and connectedness.

Through distance and time they have become bitter and mislead.

This ep is a bowl of delicious fruit left to rot.

I would like to thank my dear friends and brilliant minds,

Brigitte Podradsky, who I have stolen this ep title from.
