Annual Membership Meeting @ Diane's Hunting Club (Jul 2, 2023)

For mix number 18 in the PPRZ Podcast series, we have a mix from Chicago's @makeensound

Chicago based producer and DJ Makeen is focused on groovy textural techno
with a dark edge. He co-organizes the party series Research & Development
with J.S. Alvarez and founded the parties Spent and Near Dark.

His electronic music obsession began when he started performing live sets
on tables full of gear. With an interest in sound design and synthesis, Makeen
spent the early part of his artistic life composing and performing
experimental music more focused on acoustic instruments. The latest leg of
his journey has brought him back to electronic music with an elevated
passion for dance floor-focused beats.

Mix Description:
I decided to take a playful approach to this mix— playing some lighter and
groovier tracks with an emphasis on trippy sounds and atmospheres. This
mix was recorded with 3 x CDJs and an Allen & Heath Xone 92 mixer. The
focus was on long continuous blends, while shifting between new and
unexpected sonic worlds.

Beyond / Below 50 "Omega Lake Safari" by @kevmachine. Received December 2023.

"We spent three nights under incredible auroras on a spit of bedrock beside a remote glacial lake in the North Woods just before the fall equinox this year. Prepared listening to further grasp the significance and connect deeply with our experience has been the ritual. At the center of each trip, and mix, was the glimmer of opportunity to see the lights. At this confluence of time and space, in the midst of powerful reflection, we let the music do its thing at the listening point on Omega Lake.

Keep looking up."
