I Know

Hello humans! Story time! 

I am pleased to present you with a mixtape/ep/wip dump! While these tunes are technically incomplete in my eyes, I felt the need to share at least something that resembles a body of work in 2025.

I have to admit that most of the time during my brief stint on planet Earth, I’ve been exceedingly fortunate. Especially lately in life, it is not uncommon for me to be celebrating a W of my own or of one of my close friends or family members. But life isn’t only celebrating W’s.

Earlier this year, there was a small chunk of time where my little family and I took a bunch of (really inconsequential and easy to deal with) L’s. Some items were stolen from our yard and from my truck, some intense family issues arose, and lastly, the reason I’ve blathering on - my solid state drive for my main production machine in my studio failed!

I went to college for digital arts and have myself  been a digital art instructor, and I of all people should know the importance of several backups. If it doesn’t exist in three places, it doesn’t exist at all, as the saying goes. I think you can guess what I’m going to say next. I had attempted to back up my machine a week beforehand, but it failed, and I hadn't been vigilant about backups for quite some time prior to that. I lost all of the project files for a lot of the music I had been working on and playing out for a good chunk of time! 

I have been in the habit of releasing a body of work every year, and as the year marches steadily towards closure, I looked at the pile of WIPs I was sitting on and started to scratch my head. Some frequent advice I’ve given to friends and colleagues that are debating whether it’s time to put out music, or whether the music is “good enough” has consistently been “better out than in.” In fact, the words I usually use are “Those tunes aren’t doing anyone any good if they’re sitting on your hard drive.” 

So in an attempt to stay consistent, and to practice what I preach, I decided to take a handful of the tunes I’ve been playing in my sets recently, bundle them up, and give them to you, beautiful human! 

Thank you for reading my story, and listening to my music! Thanks to Omnist for being an awesome friend and very fun collaborator, and for being to down immediately to release a WIP.

I love you <3

P.S. - I need to give a special shoutout to the fine folks of Duffrey's Cat Cafe - All of the vocal samples in  'Fangirl' are either my son Felix or fan submitted from members my of Facebook group. Y'all are the real MVPs.

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself

I go by Simonowsky, I’m a resident of The Black Lodge in Los Angeles - I am originally from Chicago. Im the tallest DJ on the west coast.

If you could place a dj booth anywhere in the world… where would it be & what would you play?

Up off a road in between Mt. Wilson and Mt. Lowe north of LA in the San Gabriels - Id probably play my most wigged out free party techno and all my spicy dub cuts

Favorite collective/scene at the moment?

The Directory parties also based here in LA, and the In Training crew

Earliest musical memory?

I bought Beastie Boys ‘Hello Nasty’ when I was 9, snapped the CD in half when I took it out of the case - thankfully they let me have a replacement copy (RIP Blockbuster)

Listen to 11:11 in your mix… what color do you see?

A dark orange glow

Favorite movie rave scene?

Gotta be the cave rave from Matrix Reloaded

Favorite decade for music and why?

Based on my record collection, id have to say the 90s - so much great music was being put out 

How do you hydrate at a gig?

Save those drink tickets, but I try to bring a water bottle with me too

Dream line-up?

Claude Young, Eris Drew, Erika, Bill Converse, Jeff Mills, DJ Rush

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation and you give me a track

Favorite late night snack?
I'm partial to an ice cream sandwich

Advice to beginning dj’s?

Focus on developing your own practice and work at it, use what tools you have access to and try not to compare yourself to other people. Make an effort to meet and work with like minded people around you.

Secret weapon track?  

The B1 track on Channel One & Radius’ Kompute record

DJ Pet Peeves?

record skips, dj booths shorter than 45 inches and people who take up space on the dance floor but don't dance

Where do you want to be flown out to play in the future?

If I ever get flown out - Bogota or Buenos Aires

Where do you see your rave self in 30 years from now?  

I hope I can still be organizing parties & releasing music 

Most underrated artist at the moment?

Colored Craig aka Urban Soul Brotha #5

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

I would like to see the de-commodification of music, and an emphasis on local community building and organization 

Best track for getting down ;)?

Simonowsky - 162˚

The relationship between Norm and Core is in terms of sunlight playing over a mountain and a valley. Norm is the brightly lit portion, Core is the dark area occluded by the mountain's bulk. As the sun moves across the sky, Norm and Core gradually trade places with each other, revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed.

Norm is solid, focused, hot, dry, and active.

Fire - Sky - The sun - Daytime.

Core, by contrast is yielding, cold, wet.

Water - Earth - The moon - Night time.

Six tracks on 12" Ep with various artists & melted brains. 
Norm side see Itinerant Dubs release for the first time NOT on their own label, dub dance recorded straight on tape and heavy analogue equipment involved. 
Able Mutable come from Kreggo that shares his visions and feelings, an escalation of drums for the fella behind Secret Rave, the side closes with Rose Again flying solo and inspired dub intercourse. 
Core side starts with a no compromise Rave & heavy kicks journey from the technology rebel Katatonic Silentio, and ends with a smooth Techno dub illusions with trippy twist from Gang of Ducks boss, Sabla. In the middle of this side back with a new electronics, Odd Shy Guy & Rose Again touched by the mysterious Diastema on the mix.
