This is Duck Trash’s set from Tomorrow’s Fires, a party celebrating the release of Erika’s “Anevite Void” album on February 25, 2023. Mix theme: After getting abducted by aliens, one must learn how to adapt & grow plants on an unfamiliar planet in outer space.

It’s hard to overstate the transformative power of the American Underground. Things get lost when it’s just a systematic big business, all these special things that make the core essence so powerful and palpable. IT first encountered @ducktrash when BMG played for them in Indianapolis last September with Noncompliant at this exquisite dive bar called State Street Club with the most open minded crowd. It wasn’t what it looked like, it really transcended time and space. “Duck Trash is a queer techno & electro selector who believes in the healing power of the dance floor.” We couldn’t agree more, and we’re so glad they got to do their Detroit debut at Erika’s album release party. They are part of the fabric that makes the midwest so amazing, the true underground freaks.

IT.podcast.s12e03: Duck Trash at Tomorrow's Fires

Based in NYC, and with a background as a DJ, writer, and event organizer, Lychee's (@lycheefrut) underground energy is evident in every set they craft. With regular appearances at Basement, Nowadays, and Bossa Nova Civic Club, Lychee also runs Spontaneous Affinity, a monthly mix and interview series and occasional event platform, and the label Unimatrix Zero, as well as serving on the board for the Aslice Foundation.

Drawing inspiration from recent musical explorations at Nowadays in NYC in particular, Lychee's Patterns of Perception 116 showcases a return to their musical foundations in hypnotic, dubby, wormholey techno. Embracing a more focused, classic feel than many of their recent dancefloor explorations, this mix infuses a sense of narrative and evolution, effortlessly blending darkness and light, corporeality and sentimentality.

Very excited to welcome back DJ Hockey (OFR163 - see link below) for our 200th edition of Only For Robots. 

DJ Hockey approaches techno by intermingling layers of contrasting elements. Defining characteristics for his selections are grounded, thick, encompassing atmospheres often on the introspective side. Psychedelia is present in all of his musical expressions, crafting dynamic journeys resulting in playful and groovy sets.

With releases on labels https://soundcloud.com/modelfuture, PPRZ and RF Records, DJ Hockey is propelling his interpretation of techno with his productions, and is working on more EP’s for 2023.

DJ Hockey started https://soundcloud.com/pprzrecords and mix series with https://soundcloud.com/adamtwo with the intention to showcase techno from the PNW and beyond with a cheeky nod to queer culture in underground dance music.

About the mix:
I had the pleasure of playing a condensed version of this mix to a intimate crowd at a rave on a small family farm / inside an empty barn. The barn had beautiful visuals projected on it courtesy of Mollie Bryan (@mokedo) on Instagram, who also organized the event.

This mix is encapsulates every quality I admire in techno, and feels like one of my most authentic expressions yet.

C to the Power of X with Sam Purcell & Mattikk  - 28 August 2023

For episode 47 of the podcast series, we have @sassmouth in for a stellar mix of predominantly electro with some acid, breakbeat, and a touch of UKG. Sassmouth is a DJ based in her longtime adopted home, Chicago. She playfully mixes all kinds of records with a focus on techno, house, acid and electro sounds. She created her label @god-particle-vinyl as a homage to this style of DJing- a place for friends to showcase music that connects the dots between all these styles of dance music. She is a rave mom and real mom and co-runs Walking and Falling- a mentor program for woman and non-binary music enthusiasts that want to learn to DJ. If you don’t see her in the booth she is very likely dancing her ass off by the front left speaker.

For mix number 17 in the PPRZ Podcast series, we have a mix from New York's aka-Sol @acaciabaila

aka-Sol is one of the monikers of the Ecuadorian DJ, producer, and multidisciplinary artist Sol León. Sol is based in Brooklyn and through their Acacia Baila label, they're also a connector: they've released their own tracks as León, Brouhaha and dp1x as well as collaborations alongside releases from artists all around the globe and the closed community. Sol is part of the collective running the "Dripping" event series and festival and also holds a residency at Mansions. As a DJ, their sets are dynamic, genre-defying and psychedelic, weaving musical stories that bridge the gap between heady, trippy sounds and percussive grooves that go straight to the body. As a live performer and composer Sol has gathered and directed multiple experimental multidisciplinary ensembles, working with electroacoustic musicians, dancers and visual artists to convey their expansive and mostly improvisatory based creations using all forms of extended scores with graphics, text and animated visuals. 

In addition to their solo work, León collaborates with a variety of artists, such as their new duo Gaze with Relaxer, as well as projects with Hank Shoklee (Public Enemy & The Bomb Squad), Nona Hendryx (Labelle), Jessica Mitriani, Juan Miguel Marin, Benton C. Bainbridge, Æirrin Ricks, Gryphon Rue, and many more. Their solo and collaborative work has been presented in The Museum of Modern Art of Bogota (MAMBO), The Hunter East Harlem Gallery, The Fridman Gallery (NY), Alice Yard (Port of Spain), Frieze week (NY), Sustain-Release Festival (NY), Nowadays (NY), Dripping (NY), Videoclub (BOG). 

Mix Description:
As a DJ that is interested in creating narratives with different styles of music and tempos I've been wanting to put together a mix focusing on the deep and psychedelic side of techno. I wanted to create a mix that feels like you are sliding down through an infinite spiral, sort of like when Alice goes down the rabbit hole. Seeing Rrose performing at Dripping was a big inspiration to aim for that hyper-textural and ever-expanding sound.

Tracklist:
MicroGestureLoong04 - aka-Sol
Autokinetic - A Saucerful Of Sequence
Reptant - Freq Accident
Planetary Assault Systems - Spell A
Function - Against The Wall (Rrose Remix)
ghoti - rubble
Polygonia - Pterois Miles
Plastikman - Elektrostatik
Lindsey Herbert - Dark Matter
Young Male - Distrust
Eric Cloutier - Heuristic

Ground Hum Mix Series #1: IVVY

Excited to be reliving our last event again by sharing some live recordings from the night 🌀

First up is Seb H.'s closing set; a masterclass in the building of tension, juxtaposing of dreamy melodies with wobbly bass & warm and fuzzy techno, journeying seamlessly through dark winding half time, jungle, de-school-basement-esque techno & even some dreamy tearjerking house.

"So I knew Jasmín could finish her set pretty much anywhere - from 130 techno to 170 drum’n’bass, I wanted to be ready to take over from anywhere. I put together blocks of roughly 10 records that all had a similar vibe/tempo: a block of hypnotic techno, a block of dubstep, DnB/half-time etc. And then I had transition records that could get me between each block. So on the night it was just a case of moving between the blocks in an order that made sense 😌"

Seb H. playing the closing set epitomises what we are trying to do at kinetic. Pair established artists with incredibly talented yet under the radar DJs, who totally deserve a space to perform. Seb's understanding of the emotional connection withe the dance floor & his records make him a truly special talent. 

Our next event is on 17th May at Ormside Projects. Tickets here - https://ra.co/events/1883623
