I feel fortunate to be a witness and listener of @lucytheliyou 's music. When I first listened to their album Welfare/Practice, I felt like they were speaking on something unspeakable and hidden, yet something lodged in my cells that I didn't even know needed to be said, until they are unearthed through another's psychic transmission. Lucy's mixtape "As Dialect, Forester's Architecture" is a heart-wrenching journey of undulating field recordings and wistful environments that too reminds me of the power a story has to reveal truth in the listener's soul.

San Francisco-based artist Lucy Liyou synthesizes field recordings, text-to-speech readings, poetry, and elements from Korean folk opera into sonic narratives that explore the implications of Orientalism and Westernization. Though their music reflects the work of genres such as post-industrial and musique-concrète, Lucy Liyou is greatly influenced by audiobooks as well as music from the Impressionist period and Neoclassical period. Liyou’s work has earned acclaim from Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily, The Quietus, them., Tone Glow, Wire Magazine, NPR Music among others, and received notable airplay on NTS Radio, KEXP, NPR, and Sonos Radio’s Radio Hour with Thom Yorke. Lucy Liyou’s first two full-length albums Welfare / Practice were reissued on vinyl for the first time in May 2022 via American Dreams Records.

KHIDI Podcast NR.71: Sharlese

Stella's album War Bride is one of those works of art that leave me so changed after experiencing them. It was instrumental for me in understanding the ghosts that accompany me on the dance floor, so I was humbled that she was able to create something for this project. Her mixtape "Dream Jumble" is a performance of original productions, emotional selections, and fragmented vocal samples, whispering like a haunting upon the ancestral beat.

I had a lovely time joining DJ Voices & Beta Librae for their double residency this past November! Here's my set from the night. 

I love the big bass, but I also wanted to weave in some silliness and surprises. The whole night will always be a fond memory for me. Thanks to Kristin and Bailey for taking such good care of me.

Hugs to all my friends(Matt & Diamond for flying out), the dancers, and the Nowadays staff! <3 

Also, to Miles and Tiffany for hosting me during my stay. 

BOOF, THERE IT IS!!

Cache 003.. This one is a journey in 3 parts. 
With this mix, I knew where I wanted to start and my ultimate destination: both tracks, the first and the last, have Indian elements and Hindi vocals. For the rest of it, I had some idea about the landscapes I wanted to traverse, but didn't plan the path and turns until I started playing.

Gear: CDJ-2000nxs2, CDJ-2000nexus, DJM-750mk2. Recorded with the DJM-REC iPhone app.

Cache 003

Cache 004 is a vinyl-only mix that is centered around IDM, breakbeat, drum & bass, jungle, and halftime, with hints of some other genres. It starts off with a powerful chant (go buy the track: https://mi-el.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-river-to-the-sea) before picking up and arranging the beats, and then destroying it.

Gear: 2x Technics SL-1200MK5, DJM-750mk2. 
Recorded with the DJM-REC iPhone app.
(Intro track played digitally off my iPhone)
