Violet Poison is inspired by oldschool EBM and synth/wave music from the 80's. Baudazzi also runs different projects under various aliases, some focused on 80's thriller/horror soundtracks and some on US-oriented Italo-disco/freestyle.

Im stoked to have finally had Drupe Jam, the third member of NYC's own Ladiez Drink Free, on the show. Drupe Jam is such a fun DJ, always pulling out surprises. 

Recreational DJ started out with an hour of groovy house tunes, all from New York DJs and labels. Drupe Jam took over the second hour with Spanish-language post-punk, pop, and dance grooves.

Liquid J is yet another excellent DJ from the rich Miami -> NYC pipeline (where I started doing radio, shoutout WVUM 90.5). Liquid J also produces, hosts Splash! on Newtown Radio, does killer graphic design, and is one of the minds behind Jezebel Sound. 

Recreational DJ kicks the show off with groovy electro and techno. Liquid J holds down the second hour with a tasty mix of techno, bass, garage, and more.

The unifying theme amongst my Magic 8 guests is that they are busy, and GENG PTP certainly fits the bill. He's a community organizer, visual designer, label head, sound engineer, teacher, archivist, DJ, musician, and has been at it in the DIY trenches for a long time.

Recreational DJ kicks it off with an hour of deep bass and techno grooves, with a couple of detours just to keep you on your toes.

GENG PTP takes over the second hour. He says "it’s actually two mixes stitched together that i found on tape earlier this week... documenting not only a time when i was experimenting with analog tech as a means of archiving/back up, but a time that a good few of us have been fondly reminiscing on concurrently by chance/coincidence... bringing that sound back but yea now w tape saturation and hiss (even better).

also it was when i was really starting to dig into a chapter of my own sound design and production."

Campout Mix Series: NAP

Boiling and brewing beneath the surface, the distant roars of underwater volcanic vents can be heard, their energy rising slowly. Microbial life begins to spiral upwards, its first signs detectable as faint movements in the depths. From these elusive sparks, energy builds, colliding and surging forward—a force that moves through the land, digging through the earth and shifting mountains along the way. Under the rhythmic strumming of solar dub-chords and the pulse of lunar drums, we traverse the passage of day and night. The progression unfolds seamlessly, as fluid and organic as the blending of sound, showcasing the expert vision and craftsmanship of MARRØN.
