VOYAGEUR 004 : ÖONA DAHL

Live on the Robot Heart bus Burning Man 2010 part 2

Recording from the insane Kompakt label night a little more than a month before the closing of Trouw. The crowd was insane - you have to be in order to brave the queue for up to 3 hours - the atmosphere electric. Michael Mayer and Maceo Plex played awesome sets. We finished the night with a back to back to back session until 9:30 in the morning. I hope to track down the recordings for the other sets as well...

Patrice Baumel Live (Kompakt Night At Trouw, 22 Nov 2014)

Hello Hot Dogs! I've waited for this day for over 14 years: mix #100 is live. When I released my first mix in 2010, I titled it [001] instead of [01]. Using three digits was aspirational, a quiet promise to myself that I might one day reach triple digits.

These mixes trace the narrative of my adult life. They've been the thread connecting me with so many of you—some I'll never meet, others who've become close friends (and even roommates—hi Dan, hi James).

Back when I released my first mix in 2010, we were still buying mix CDs for our cars. Soundcloud was just emerging, and I committed to monthly releases to this new platform. I may be overreaching here, but I can’t remember any other DJs presenting conceptual mixes, monthly, as packaged works of art: a conceptual title, description, and artwork. That consistency and novelty helped build a following outside of my local scene, and when my 2012 Robot Heart recording came out, things really took off internationally.

By 2015, the momentum led me to leave my software engineering job for full-time DJing—largely thanks to these Soundcloud mixes. I was purely a DJ then with a nascent Manjumasi label formed with Mark Slee, not releasing my first original track “Peculiar Colors” until 2017.

The landscape in 2024 looks different. As Soundcloud rotted to hell and Spotify rose, the value of mixes has sharply declined. With thousands released daily, they've become ubiquitous. The career path for electronic artists now revolves around original productions and social media presence.

This industry evolution pushed me toward producing my own music, opening up new creative paths I'm grateful for. The social media aspect has felt natural, as it's been an integral part of my project from the start. These last few years, the touring schedule, studio time, and home life as a husband and father slowed me down from my monthly cadence, but each mix still feels like a deep-rooted part of my message to the world, (mostly) through other people's music. 

Mix [100] was recorded September 7, 2024, at Public Works in San Francisco, the city that "raised me" as a club kid, where I first learned to DJ. This 5-hour set marked my last show in North America before taking an indefinite mental health break from touring. Playing this set was emotional, to the point of tears in the DJ booth, with support pouring in from both new listeners and those who've been there since the beginning. I couldn’t think of a better way to reach 100.

I've also created http://www.atish100.com to house all my mixes and their 1,400+ tracklists in one place, which I'll keep updating as new mixes go up on Soundcloud and YouTube.

This mix marks a meaningful milestone for me. Thank you for making this journey possible. You, and the 1400+ artists and labels I referenced helped create a life I never imagined.

Tara Brooks (https://soundcloud.com/tarabrooksmusic) presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.156

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” - Victor Hugo

Mit unserer Nummer 156 reisen wir diesen Sonntag in die kalifornische Sonne von L.A. zu Tara Brooks.

Musik hat Tara schon seit frühester Kindheit umgeben und begeistert. Die Eltern hatten eine große und breitgefächerte Plattensammlung und so ist sie mit Einflüsse von Klassik, Rock, HipHop bis Punk aufgewachsen. Doch ihre Leidenschaft hat sie dann in der Underground-Szene von L.A. und Houston gefunden … die Liebe zur elektronischen Musik.

2007 hat Tara dann angefangen selbst am DJ-Pult zu stehen und spielt nun weltweit auf Festivals und Clubs wie dem BPM Festival, WMC Space und natürlich in ihrem Zuhause dem Burning Man, wo sie jedes Jahr mehrere Sets am Robot Heart Bus und anderen Camps spielt. Sehr zu empfehlen ist z.B. hier das Set von Ihr und Mira 2017 beim Camp von Pink Mammoth.

Ist Tara mal gerade nicht auf Tour kann man sie dann bestimmt in ihrem Studio finden. Ihre Musik lässt sich in keine Kategorien einordnen … sie gehen über Grenzen hinweg aber eins ist sicher direkt ins Herz. Tracks und Remixe sind zu finden bei Akbal Music, Kindisch, Einmusika Recordings, Exotic Refreshment, Balance Series und John Digweed's Transitions.

Für Afterhour Sounds hat sich Tara wie bei allen ihren Vorhaben mächtig ins Zeug gelegt und eine traumhafte Afterhour zwischen deepen und treibenden Sound gebastelt. Wir sind mehr als hin und weg und wieder zurück. Tara tausend Dank für deine Leidenschaft zur Musik und unsere Hörern nun viel Freude bei Tara Brooks.

Tara Brooks presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 156

Hoj's 2012 post-sunrise set atop the Robot Heart at Burning Man has become one of his most popular. What many people don't know is Lee Burridge joined him after his set for an epic back-to-back session that went on into the afternoon. Hoj and Lee found the recording on an old hard drive, and wanted to share.
