SORRYMIX ARCHIVE:  http://bit.ly/SORRYMIX

A beloved East Village hot spot from early ‘87 to the bitter end of 1992, downtown video nightclub SorryClubTV closed its doors nearly thirty years ago on an unusually mild mid-December Sunday morning. Not the first New York club to incorporate video screens into the club experience (perpetual rival The Ritz made it there first), SorryClubTV boasted an impressive 33.3' screen and a projector which cost an undisclosed amount (“less than $200k, more than The Ritz’s”). This proved to be a burdensome and frankly confusing investment for the club whose regular crowd was clearly more interested in dancing than watching music videos on TV. Despite the routinely packed dance floor and legion of devoted dancers, SorryClubTV’s owners soon found themselves in over their heads, unable to see a return on investment anytime before the new millennium. So when presented with the opportunity at a way out, the owners didn't think before selling the club and the Third Ave building that housed it, leading to the club's rather abrupt end and subsequent conversion into a group of offices and studios for a local film production house specializing in industrial films and tri-state area tv commercials. 

The night before the club's final morning, longtime resident boxofbox took the decks one last time; delivering a six hour set that stretched well into the morning hours, going a full two hours past the city’s legal closing time, and playing record after record to deliver their final love letter to the sweat-packed floor of revelers that called the club home. Thought to be lost to time -- a new trove of DAT tapes containing the complete soundboard recording of that legendary night were recently unearthed from a box found deep within a storage closet in the long dilapidated and recently shuttered subway station record shop MTA TRAX which operated on the Northeast side of Times Square - 42nd St. station for the better part of the last forty odd years. boxofbox’s DATs contain a tracklist that is simply stacked with some of the greatest dance hits from the era, where radio-candied pop hits meshed with sultry rnb and the emergent sound of new jack swing, as well as some early signals of the rave era to come as it was taking shape.

Notes from boxofbox --
"To uncover this mix now, gives us an opportunity to reflect on the mirror of 1992 to now; how sharing the spirit of music with each other catalyzes a sense of presence, urgency, and togetherness against our collective struggles. It is my wish that the joy I felt when playing and now listening back on these tracks is conveyed as something functional, palpable, and ecstatic for you, and that you can share this by dancing with others even if it is further away than being packed together in a sweaty club. For those of you that were there that night, and for those of us who are no longer with us, I hope this mix is a portal, but also a reminder that the world still requires our work; but for the moment, let's dance.

SORRYMIX10: boxofbox - Sorry 2 Go - Party Pack Vol. 1 – 4

This episode of Murals is dedicated to the sound of a deep house label from Chicago called Prescription. Although I did not understand it at the time, this type of music really crystallized my affection for house music a few years ago as well as helping me work through some difficult moments in life's journey. I have tried to capture some of the warmth, space, intimacy and energy of Prescription through this mix. Hope you enjoy! 

Prescription discography: https://www.discogs.com/label/292-Prescription

"Founded by producers Ron Trent and Chez Damier in 1994 to "provide a certain level of healing for people," as Trent explained to i-D magazine in November 1995, Prescription Underground EPs like vocalist-producer Romanthony's Prince-like 'The Wanderer' and Abacus' 'Relics' spatialized house by sculpting space into elegiac intimacy. Instead of dry, machine tones or the sweeping, phasing variations, these producers opened a depth of field that allowed wind currents and heavy weather to charge through the horizon of the mix. 1996's 'Romanworld' was a concept album, an audiodrama where Romanthony took an elevator 'deeper underground to Romanworld - an imperial Roman Empire, where you can feel free to indulge your every whim.' "

Sobolik ~ Brooklyn, NY

Tell me about this mix?
This mix was culled from a recent practice recording, in preparation for my opening set at the next Antidote party on 12/17. Antidote is a collective started by Alyce aka Lychee, of likeminded friends and dance music practitioners: DJs Lychee, T.Wan, Sobolik, and Nutrition Facts, lighting designer Glimmer, and yoga instructor Yaya. We hold this party a few times a year in a private arts space, and it's very special to us as an opportunity to make something specifically for our favorite queer people to dance with. It's off the beaten club circuit path and aims to fully prioritize our collective values, musically, culturally, socially, and otherwise.

i'm looking forward to opening the party following Yaya's yoga session, for the chance to keep improving my slow burn mode and play more music with complex textural and emotional palettes. deep style 😶‍🌫️

What are you working on now that you are most excited about?
So much new music is in the works :) I'm looking at dropping at least three new EPs next year, possibly more, among other singles and one-off projects. I'm not gonna spill any deets yet, but stay tuned <3

Any hobbies outside of music?
No 🫡 tragic lol

Where can we see you perform next?
At Antidote on 12/17 :) check out the event link if you know where to look...
On the Lot Radio for Kindergarten's monthly residency...

and then tbh probably not anywhere else for a good while...
