Thanks for the play 🖤 - whole show is ridiculous

@adab arrived at a love of electronic music on the dance floor of queer-run techno party In Training in their native Cleveland. Before long, they went on to established themselves as a DJ who plays electric sets of house, techno and club beats as part of a constant quest to "seek the unifying elements in the world and themselves." The Pittsburgh resident and radio regular is now half of Cleveland party Heaven is in You and has an international profile that is only set to grow as they continue to confound expectations with each new set. 

That starts with this week's mix, which is an other-worldly trip into genre-less electronics. Dense and cinematic ambiance and sound design set the opening scene - it's a world of searching synths and shadowy alien life forms in which a skeletal rhythm eventually appears. Deconstructed dub, club and jungle flavour the ensuing grooves which are heads down and dark. They evoke all manner of dystopian futures and make for a brilliantly unconventional ride.

CCL on their staggering Friday performance at ROTUNDA: 

“I normally don’t get to play that fast from the get go but the crowd was so great it felt easy to play literally everything. It felt a bit like a wind tunnel in there. The shape of the stage, the whirling in and out of different tempos and the crowd’s energy made up for the perfect environment to play nothing but fast and half time rollers.”

Memories from last Astropolis Winter Edition where Gigsta offered a mad dance at our DÔME night.

DÔME i s a large beautiful family summarizing the wide spectrum of electronic music, through the lens of young local artists, as well as a sub-label of Astropolis Records since the summer of 2020. They released a first EP with A-Sim, Unklevon, Théo Muller and Ringard, between deconstructed club music, bold electro & sunny tribal dances.

EXPLORERS AT HÖR - 13/12/22 - CCL B2B DJ SPIT

"A transposition of emotions to sound… a journey through what I was feeling at the time. The beginning is broken and jarring, erratic and unsettling… riding through false peaks and fragmented breakdowns. It’s a bit dark and unclear as to what will happen next. As time goes on, there’s a slow build up of clarity: you can feel yourself coming out of the darkness and into something brighter… something freeing. You feel lighter at the end…. skin tingling with tenderness and elation."

Our third installment for this year comes from @jem4u, a community organiser & DJ hailing from Detroit, determined to introduce us to the new sounds breaking through from the next gen there - and we’re all about it.

Influences:
producers who use their DAW to spawn and grow inconceivable organisms, or build and sculpt vast architectures. artists whose music helps you engage with your body with pure openness. artists who make music to excavate things out of themselves. artists who write music that reflects their world (inside or outside) at you. music that carries memories and sensations with me that would be otherwise lost. working musicians who break the borders between practices, cultures, and industries. people who invent new genres by djing, throwing parties, and starting labels. djs who understand how rhythm affects the body. djs who throw away established definitions about music and come up with their own. ravers who throw away their pretensions, exercise care and show love to their peers, and put unbridled energy into the music.

Favorite Quote:
a wise man carrying a comically oversized mug once told me, "this community will give you everything, but eventually you have to give it all back."

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
take the time to think about what you really want to do with your work, and pursue it unapologetically. but as you get more and more from the community, think about what you're doing to pay it back by supporting and uplifting others. try to learn when to make sacrifices in your commitments/presence in the community for your artmaking, homemaking, and personal wellness. try to learn when to do the opposite. show up for your friends and the people who inspire you. it's never the wrong time to take a beat, consider how you're taking up space, and consider the effect you have/could have on the people around you. if you don't get booked too often, always show up early and stay late when you do. whatever you do, hold yourself accountable to push your craft as far as you possibly can - all of us doing that is what keeps the community alive.

With this mix sobolik asks to please learn more about and consider donating to: 
trans people are under an unprecedented attack in the US national/state legislatures. help orgs fighting this legislation in your state, and help orgs that work to help trans people survive and thrive amid a deeply violent social and political reality.

Very happy to have an artist I've admired for a while now join the series, Italian producer/dj Lucca Mucci aka Piezo (@piezopz). With an impressive repertoire of releases on Idle Hands, Wisdom Teeth and more, Piezo has become known for a unique signature style, spacey, bassy soundscapes with serpentine percussion lines & ever-surprising quirks & charms. 

His DJ style is a poignant flow on from his productions - his set at @terraforma festival last year was a major highlight for me - he soundtracked the scorching hot afternoon with percussive, bassy, rhythmic goodness. 

Thanks so much for contributing to the series Luca!
