Duck Trash - Refuge Worldwide x Daisychain | 020

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.

Hot on the heels of their Marble Bar set, we are happy to have Duck Trash for this week's edition of our mix series. Equal parts ethereal, jacking, psychedelic and groovy all while delivering some warnings of an apocalyptic future throughout. It's like a dance party atop a high rise while the sun explodes.

Overland is a rave inciter and beat architect shaped by her upbringing in small town Alberta, Canada, and an itinerant way of life guided by the magnetism of disparate musical influences. 

With notable sojourns in London, UK and Vancouver, British Columbia, Overland’s journey has taken her from organizing hometown warehouse raves and beachside renegades to high profile bookings at Berlin’s Tresor and Boiler Room x Igloofest Montreal. 

Echoes of the myriad of people and places that have helped her flourish can be heard in her playful, high-energy mixes 
and simmering sets that weave morphing basslines with propulsive beats. Her driving, dynamic and acid-laced productions have been released on Lisbon’s Naive and New York’s Sweat Equity. Berlin-based label Paryía run by Marie Montexier hosted her record last year with a remix by high profile ambient trio Purelink, and Priori’s Canadian imprint, GARMO released her most 
recent record with praise from Hardwax. 

Fresh off the back of a newly minted residency for 
Rinse France, Overland’s mark on Canadian dance music continues to thrive and shows no sign 
of slowing down.

TML has been a vital force in the Midwest electronic music scene for nearly two decades, defying easy categorization while pushing an evolving, boundary-pushing sound.

Growing up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, TML (aka Peter Lansky) would journey into the city to immerse himself in underground culture at illicit loft parties and venues like the Fireside Bowl and Metro/Smart Bar. Inspired, he moved to Minneapolis and swiftly kicked off a residency at the iconic First Avenue nightclub. Running weekly over the course of eight years, the Too Much Love party brought together diverse local acts and international names, won nightlife awards, and cemented his reputation as a curator of unique sounds and killer parties.

After ending his weekly residency, Lansky began releasing his own music. TML’s productions closely mirror his genre-crossing DJ sets—a functional, rhythmic collision of acid, electro, and the darker corners of the hardcore continuum. Releases on Scuba’s Hotflush Recordings and his co-owned Always Human Tapes label highlight a blend of raw energy and lived-in sound design. 

TML can be found pushing this idiosyncratic approach across discerning corners of the underground. He excavates new sonic spaces on a long-running monthly show for Bristol’s Noods Radio and as a resident DJ for acme. collective's infamous basement parties. Whether headlining Midwest raves or clubs from New York to Berlin, performing live, or featuring on iconic mix series like Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space, TML continues a midwestern legacy of speaker shaking electronic music, championing the weird and wonderful sounds that make dark dance floors transcendent.

Shanti is a Chicago-based DJ who curates eerie, otherworldly, and longing sounds. Music has always been a means of coping with the otherness and hybridity Shanti experienced throughout her life. While she is a philosopher and writer, Shanti has felt limited by words and has recognized the transcendent ability of music to express concepts, states of consciousness, and conflicting emotions. Philosophical themes of existential angst and ambiguity are explored in her sets through ethereal, foreboding techno, angsty EBM/dark wave, and squishy acid sounds. Music has always been a way for her to cope with the darker realities of existence. Shanti’s sets weave a story of the simultaneous despair and yearning that are intertwined with the human condition and illustrate an intentional trajectory.

Advice for the DJs, artists and producers of our community: Don’t let the straight white men (or anyone whatsoever) in the scene convince you that you are less-than or unintelligent. You know your craft, you’ve put in the work, you’ve honed your taste, and usually they talk down to you just to make themselves feel more intelligent anyway. Don’t let it get to you<3 Also, get better at mixing by spinning records with other people--DJing is a social artform and the decks are meant to be shared!!!
