The above quote was kindly provided by Chris SSG for our sixth installment of our podcast series which features a set by him. A good friend of the collective, he needs no further introduction. This podcast is a recording of his set at the final of five parties we threw late last year to celebrate the 10 years anniversary of the Observatory. Chris’s set was the final one in a long series, closing what was a  wonderful sequence of events. Forward indeed.

softi : Freerotation 2024

In late 2023 I was chatting with a musician friend about labels, and whether they're really all that necessary these days. As someone mainly focused on self-releasing my music through Bandcamp, I think for the most part the answer is no. One should focus on passionately creating things and being involved in their local music community. Over time, label or not, things will hopefully start to take care of themselves on their own. I did however mention that there was one label I thought was really cool, and would definitely be interested in working with: it was Nous'klaer Audio. Incredibly, the next day I received an email from Sjoerd Oberman, who runs Nous'klaer, inviting me to join for a release and performance at Draaimolen. Of course, I was delighted to be involved. This would be my first show in the EU. I spent about 3 months preparing a new set. Having grown rather bored of CDJs and DJ mixers, I opted to prepare a live set, in which I control 8 channels of audio tracks along with drum machines and FX. This setup gives me a lot of freedom to explore new arrangements of my catalog, and better command the dynamic energy on the dance floor, pushing and pulling things forwards to capture the mood of the crowd. To prepare for Draaimolen, I organized several shows across Japan (where I live), further refining the setup after each performance, and deciding what tracks would be the best fit for the 60 minute peak time set I was scheduled to perform. I was very nervous about how my set would be received, but it ended up working very well, and was the highlight of my year. From the very start, the positive reaction from the crowd put me at ease, and Draaimolen's focus on sound and stage design gave me peace of mind, knowing that every frequency was being perfectly reproduced on the floor. I'm so grateful for the opportunity Nous'klaer and Draaimolen provided me. Long live Nous'klaer and long live Draaimolen. Thank you Sjoerd and Milo and Kani and Hannah!

A fittingly lush mix filled with dusty, wobbly perfection from the lovely Helsinki based @suskidj this week.

I met Suski when she warmed up for me the first time I played at Post Bar in Helsinki a few years ago - a place i've returned to a few times and truely adore! Suski is a resident at the much-loved Helsinki club. I was initially drawn to her dj'ing as the set she played as a warm-up in Post Bar was a pitch-perfect and contextually divine fit for the space & time. 

This mix is a poignant follow up - diving through through the rich textures of immersive techno, and an entire journey through the world of electronica & idm with broken beats, ambience and charmingly off-kilter percussive rhythms.

Thanks for the amazing mix Suski <3

i gotta say
i been attending to the bank
like everyday
im making a play
just in the way
i be getting paid 
ian never like a bitch know that they ain’t on shit
i would never like a nigga playing all that he say she say
nigga im saying
you couldn’t be me
& then this fit
came straight from my hand
stay out the way 
i gotta say
you don’t get paid to be talking on me & that’s far as i seee
you niggas been sleep
better not beef
grudges i keep
i gotta do what niggas don’t do
i gotta woo who nobody can woo & i mean what i say
i do not play
i just get cakee 
don’t play with my cakee
im passing the phone to a nigga that’s wrong
for ever thinking i wasn’t go pop
like fuck out me face 
i gotta say
i got romaine it’s all in my chase
i hop on the beat dissociating
hop on the scene off a lil xan
got smoke in my throaat 
so how do i know
if i should quit
if i should tote
leave me alone 
if you not talm 
about a bag you can render me gone
keeping my attitude on
drinking on Rena to sippin on Rum
planning to fight a garcon 
i couldn’t wait til i could put niggas on
Merica falling like Rome
the plan is get rich get money alone
i be alone on the road
cus trusting is something im not
yes i make money a lot
do nothing but still be on top
