Thanks for recording an amazing mix for us <3 x

For entry number 10 in the PPRZ Podcast series, we have a mix from New York's @threehz

threehz is an explorer of textural, dream-like emotion. With sets ranging from sludgy dark psychedelia to kaleidoscopic warpdrive techno, threehz is a rising tripped-out player throughout New York City’s techno dance floors. 

His namesake is an inaudible but mystical frequency associated with theta waves, dreams, meditative states, and divination - a frequency allegedly imbued with brutal physical power that could topple speaker stacks if they were only capable of reproducing and amplifying 3Hz. With a deep grounding in musical esoterica and a previous life in metal music - most recently as part of celebrated avant-metal outfit Sannhet – threehz is a full-bore sonic experimentalist. 

threehz’ DJ career has been on a long arc, launching in earnest with an exploratory, cross-genre show on The Lot Radio with friend and Sannhet bandmate AJ XO. The pair’s collaborative work, titled NO DAWN, has been in rotation on The Lot for seven years, and has yielded expansive joint sets at recent editions of the Shaker Mountain festival. 

His deep and psychedelic techno series “dream/self” at Queens mainstay Mansions has showcased him alongside other like-minded techno experimentalists, and he has made regular appearances at the venerable Bossa Nova Civic Club. threehz’s continued passion for distilling and blending psychedelic sounds has yielded focused and deep dives into techno for densely foggy dancefloors and pulsing colors – a place threehz himself is likely to be found at the blurry morning hours.

threehz describes their mix as “This winter has felt very long and dark for a lot of people, myself included.  A lot of difficult energy has been in the air, but finally in the past week or two it feels like spring is trying to break through the darkness – literally and figuratively.  I think this mix reflects that – starting in a darker, confusing space and eventually working itself to a place with a glimpse of hope. It’s a bit darker than what I’ve been playing lately, but I think it is true to both my roots and my more recent focus.  Selection wise, I tried to pull from classic 90’s material through brand new releases, and I tried to work in a third deck a bit more than usual for some tripped out layered bits. I hope you enjoy the journey!”
