Category 4 is a monthly broadcast concept from Michael Brunner [ @four4 ] for Great Circles Radio.

Each episode is broken into four segments, which are connected in some fashion, but routinely unique in many others. This allows for the drawing of comparisons between otherwise disparate concepts, while simultaneously creating enough creative restrictions to focus the musical selections.

The 20th episode comes to us from Berlin by way of Detroit legend, and one of my personal DJ heroes, Derek Plaslaiko [ @plaslaiko ].

We invite our listeners to guess these categories during the show.
As an added incentive for participation, the first person to guess the categories during the broadcast will be eligible to win a prize. Each month brings new categories and prizes.

The theme for episode 20 was -- 2xLP Songs by Album Side

From the artist:  "When Mike asked me to do this mix, I thought it sounded like a fun, yet potentially challenging project. I kicked around a handful of ideas, but the one that stuck with me was "what if the mix was composed of nothing but songs that appear on 2xLP's? And, what if I only used songs from Side A on Chapter 1, and so on?" So, I pulled all my double LP's that I have here in Berlin, and started a layout. It immediately became a super fun endeavor! I also recognized that it was an extremely nerdy concept, but I truly wanted someone to guess it. With that in mind, I took to using songs that most people knew in hopes that the listener might think of where these songs were placed on their respective albums. People who know me best know that I've been a life-long obsessive when it comes to the concept of an album format. Like, the actual programming of an album, the way the songs run together in their respective order, etc. So, like any good DJ set, I wanted this collection of songs to tell a story somehow by programming them using the format outlined above.

Unfortunately, I messed up a bit and had to alter the final archived mix just a tiny bit. When compiling the mix, the Aphex Twin song that was supposed to be in chapter 2 got moved to chapter 1, but that was an easy fix. The other issue was that I used "My Body is a Cage" by Arcade Fire in Chapter 4. While that song is the final song on the "Neon Bible" LP, it falls on side C because side D is just an etching on the vinyl and contains no music. DOH!!! So, in the interest of sticking to the theme, I removed it from the mix entirely. 

I hope you enjoy this collection of tunes, and thank you Mike for asking me to do it!"

Category 4 w/ Derek Plaslaiko - Episode 20: 2xLP Songs by Album Side

Bright Patterns is a show about following an internal absolute while navigating endless options. It’s a belief in building trust around your own instincts to always lead you in the right direction. The monthly program is curated by Vicki Siolos and the occasional guest, and leans on ambient, experimental, and downtempo electronic music to kick off an early morning on The Lot. The principles can apply to any genre at any time, and Siolos draws from her role as an interaction designer to influence her selections and holistic narrative.

Bright Patterns with Vicki Siolos @ The Lot Radio 05 - 26 - 2022

This month we welcome local selector Dee’cleo @deecleo to the Scenes podcast.

Dee’s mix weaves together an eclectic range of ambient, downtempo, and electronic sounds with traditional and international musical threads.

While often playing afro, funk, and jazz, Dee has created a distinct style by venturing into the dance music sphere, in which organic sounds are underlaid by electronic structures.

The third episode of AIR welcomes Eric Cloutier, a DJ of over 20 years and the founder of Palinoia Records, to talk about the relationship between cities and sound.

Eric @Cloutier is a DJ, producer, and label boss, born and raised in Detroit, where a longing for an escape from every day life fueled the city's music scene and rave culture. Eric moved to New York in the 2000s, where he became a resident at @TheBunkerNY. Now based in Berlin, Eric is adjusting to life and music in a city where absolutely anything goes.

"It's a studio mix which just takes on where my head is currently at. The mix feels like it's broken up into three separate parts. The first is more abstract, focusing on space. The second part builds from Laurel Halo's Jelly to K-Lone In The Dust, focusing on the same ideas but with beats / more functionality. The third part picks up the pace and then slowly winds back down." ~ Parris

Sunset set at the beautiful Echo Flats. An honour and a privilege.

Echo Flats 2019-Darcy Justice

@p_areidolia has been posted up by your favorite front left speaker for years. Despite a deep catalogue and knowledge of music and a well-loved stint of parties in San Francisco as @noctuarysf (alongside @kudeki), she held off on DJing herself, keeping her focus on elevating the gender-marginalized artists around her. Over the last year, she's started investing more of her energy into ambient sets with an immersive, underwater quality reminiscent of our favorite ambient rooms.

Read the full interview and see a tracklist:
spontaneous.zone/032-pareidolia.html

"This was recorded on a Pioneer XDJ RR at an annual gathering of a small group of friends, where we hike approximately 10 miles and bring sound to the 5,000’ summit of a mountain above Los Angeles overnight.

I had never used this controller before - I have a much simpler one at home, but it went fairly well after one practice session beforehand. The small group involved with this fully commits to pitching in to make it happen, leaving no trace (with some added extra precautions this year given the circumstances), and really being fully invested in the experience.

I had not socialized IRL with more than a couple of people since the beginning of March outside of protesting and wanted to create a gently joyful and psychedelic experience under the stars, as well as play music in a way that made sense between the friends who played before and after me. Nearly everyone in the group is a DJ, producer, or at least a self-confessed music nerd, so it’s both thrilling and terrifying to play for them in such a small and deeply intentional group.

It is easily one of the most physically taxing things I’ve ever been involved in, but also one of the most rewarding. I say every time, “I’m not sure I can do this again” and keep coming back for a little suffering with my ambient music....seeing the endless glittering lights of the city below, near-complete silence in high desert nature, and the sun rise through a colorful layer of smog, smoke particles, and thin air makes it thoroughly worthwhile."
