This set is an attempt to soundtrack a Gregg Araki movie that doesn't exist. A nice mix of dreamy shoegaze and ambient sounds.

Life is a Gregg Araki Movie

Hi! This is a mix that I made in early summer while traveling. I made it for a dance party that no longer posts on Soundcloud (so it's never seen the light of day). I recently re-listened and really like it, so here you go. 

Not to sound too high-concept, but I wanted to make something that mimicked a Saturday night: a queer dive bar dance vibe -> quick break -> afters vibe -> home early-morning in bed. Hope you enjoy!

Pleasure Sweater is an opportunity to share tracks that I love but might not get played at a club or warehouse at 2 AM.

Pleasure Sweater # 2. Mixed by Ricky. A smattering of fun post-punk/new wave mixed in with some more-fun techno vibes. Enjoy!

Pleasure Sweater 02 by Ricky Mawzlin

Pleasure Sweater # 3. Mixed by Ricky. For this one, I wanted to express some seasonal depression mixed with a general "this world is slowly coming to an end" vibe. The darkest yet most-dancey Pleasure Sweater yet. Enjoy!

I wish summer could last forever---so here's a live mix from July '19 inspired by a solo afternoon at the Bloomfield pool in Pittsburgh, PA. 
It's a slow burner, but it picks up steam. Enjoy!

An Afternoon at the Bloomfield Beach

A set edited from a party I played for the Collision one-year anniversary on 2/8/20. It was stupid-cold outside, and the fog from the fog machine was making people feel kind of sick, so I tried to bring some warmer vibes to the warehouse.
