Body Tools Sessions: 023 w/ Resident: DJ Economy - Live on VPN Radio (08/02/25)

About the Mix:
“This mix is in some ways a part 2 for the deep house mix I released last week on Body Tools Presents, it shares some artists in common, but the flavor this time is just a touch deeper and more driving with some breaks peppered in for taste. Also some truly saucy mixing on this one, so don't sleep on it” - DJ Economy

About our Guest:
Hailing from Baltimore, but residing in LA for over 10 years is Body Tools co-founder DJ Economy. As both a producer and DJ, he explores a range of styles while always channeling an ear for percussion, jazzy gritty grooves, the off kilter sounds of IDM, Jungle, Trip-Hop, and Dusty Deep House. Behind the decks he dispenses sets that effortlessly change form while keeping your hips locked to the groove. Across his five releases on Body Tools he has plotted a sound that is raw and fresh with the jagged edges of analog hardware production and always nodding to the warehouses and fields of rave's beginnings.

About the Show:
Body Tools Sessions is a live audio video broadcast that happens on the First Saturday of every month from 1pm to 4pm PST on the VPN network. Each episode features a mix by a Body Tools resident on the first hour and a half, and then a special guest mix is featured on the second hour and a half.

After his 2024 album The Spirit Continues, Tilman returns with Altered Spaces, a tightly focused four-track EP that distills his signature sound into a concise, club-ready format.

Opening track Make My Body Move sets the tone with soulful vocals, warm piano stabs, a rolling bassline and a breezy Balearic vibe. The Last Resort deepens the mood, layering pads, organ hits and shimmering strings over a steady, driving groove.

Rounding out the EP are two reimagined cuts from The Spirit Continues. Dance Department (Spirit Mix) smooths out the rougher edges of the original, adding organ stabs and a more melodic sensibility. Need It (Dance Dub) transforms the track into a softer, dub-tinged version - hypnotic, restrained and full of subtle movement.

Altered Spaces is classic Tilman: warm, understated house music that's rich in detail and groove - made for dancers and deep listeners alike.

Certe volte con la musica bisogna giocare sui ricordi e volare con la mente immaginando quello che si vuole realizzare è il caso di questa "Fly With Me" dove si ripercorrono forse sonorità passate che si riascoltano con piacere, un pò rigenerate e contaminate tra una dance-edm ma con un beat house a 126 BPM.
