This sensational genre defined the tail end of the 20th century, playing out the fantasies of mainstream USA to a global market. A maligned genre, it can surprise in its complexity, beauty and subversion. Aesthetically cool as fuck with some all time fave music. Alongside classics like 80s De Palma, Joe Eszterhas 90s vehicles for Sharon Stone and a touch of Linda Fiorentino (who is stunning in John Dahl’s superb The Last Seduction) expect cross genre moods and plenty of sleazier Direct To Video films (Gregory Dark’s empire). This genre borrowed from itself, the DTV soft core porn and blockbuster / art house end of the spectrum sharing tropes within its own eco system which during its 90s peak was a cultural phenomenon. Some DTV moments being visually as stunning as say, 90s Abel Ferrara or Donald Cammell’s Wild Side. A forever fascinating and understudied genre. I highly recommend The Erotic Thriller in Contemporary Cinema by Linda Ruth Williams for anyone interested in diving further, the first full length study of the genre.

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself

My real name is Taylor Hawkins. I was born in St. Marys, OH! But i spent most of my teenage and early adult years in metro detroit so that feels more like home than anything else. Currently residing in Seattle, WA. 1 Fun Fact = Once I was in the same bar as Taylor Hawkins from the foo fighters. Dear other Taylor Hawkins, HMU if you ever wanna jam

If you could place a dj booth anywhere in the world… where would it be & what would you play? 

I’d love to play some tunes on the ocean floor where it’s pitch black and everything is bioluminescent and a little alien. 

Earliest musical memory?

Probably listening to the blues. My parents were big on late 80s/ 90s blues revival stuff. We listened to a lot of Buddy Guy, Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, oh god I’ve heard that one Jonny Lang album so many times

Listen to 11:11 in your mix… what color do you see? 

Fuschia and deep blue

Favorite movie rave scene? 

Oh oh oh oh that one episode of star trek voyager where a young Q turns engineering in a rave

Favorite decade for music and why? 

Probably the 80s. I love disco stuff from the early 80s where it’s a hybrid of really talented engineers and producers, scaled back groups of live musicians alongside early drum machines and synthesizers. Not to mention the invention!! of hiphop, dancehall, house and techno

How do you hydrate at a gig? 

I’m really bad about drinking water at gigs but at home and work I’ve usually got a quart container of water I’m working on

Dream line-up? 

Just me and my friends DJing together and dancing together. Somewhere where we all feel comfortable. As a dancer and as a DJ, those are the most joyous parties.

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a word and you give me a track

Favorite late night snack? 

There’s too many! I love snacks! Right now, i’ve got a box of ice cream sandos in the freezer tho

Advice to beginning dj’s? 

Don’t worry so much about playing the right tunes or trying to fit your style into something that you’re not 100% about. Just play tracks you love.

Secret weapon track?  

One of my fav budget bangers is S-express - Lollipop. There’s a million copies out there because it’s on the b-side of Superfly Guy and it goes really hard. There’s lots of variations of that one release so you gotta make sure you grab a copy with this b-side on it. 

DJ Pet Peeves? 

When the crowd’s too fucked up! If you can’t stand up anymore, it’s time to go home

Where do you want to be flown out to play in the future? 

Anywhere! I love visiting new places

Where do you see your rave self in 30 years from now?  

Hopefully still making music and still DJing. I don’t go out that much relative to some DJs because balance is really important to me - I don’t wanna get burned out on the things I love doing. 

Most underrated artist at the moment? 

Sighup/Nohup is a killer seattle DJ that deserves all the recognition in the world. If everything goes according to plan, we’ll have a record coming out together this year :)


What would you like to see in the future for the dance community? 

It’d be rad to see more of a culture of people buying music rather than pirating or streaming it. It does feel like things are moving in the right direction with the recent growth of bandcamp but I can’t help but feel like Big Streaming is a terrible behemoth where no gets paid but the platform. 

Best track for getting down ;)?

There’s only one possible answer to this question! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JFQQnW_B5w

Below the tree-line through myth, lust and the psyche, Natty Wylah’s new single ‘Cinders’ echoes metropolitan life through a ‘forest that doesn’t sleep’. With Purple Cloud’s orchestral production giving a night-sky crispness, moon-kissed lyrics flicker through scenes of sirens, cicadas and spirits in the cinders.

Written by Nathan Graham (Sentric Music) & Samuel Joseph (Copyright Control). Produced by Purple Cloud. Additional Production by Joseph Efi, Mixed by Joe Hirst. Mastered by Shawn Joseph at Optimum Mastering

so how the story goes (lemme find the page) 

how the story goes. 

come a lil closer... and listen. 

it goes a little something like this. 

make sure you check behind you (make sure you check behind you) 

because the forest doesn't sleep. ('cos the forest doesn't sleep) 

crackling, twigs, neck snapping and things 

you know the forest doesn't sleep. 

they nod their heads to the beat. 

(so lemme tell you how it goes...) 

 

feel the decay in my vertebrae 

charge my dreams in these moonrays 

well i ain't slept for a few days 

health is priority, life is reality 

another night spent dulling pains by the gallons she 

acts like she's smitten tickles skin with the talons bleed 

lust for this sultry eyed siren 

shame it aint love it's just desiring 

yeah that's shits tiring like sisyphus  

rolling up the boulder while im climbing 

still jack and jill tumbling fates' cards fumbling 

52, picking up the piece my past lumbered me with 

my tongue stumbled and slipped like Freuds' whisperings 

still im more Jungian; 

battle with my Anima and Animus Im shushing them. 

raggo man'a'mashing like an animal in bush and then 

sparking up the tushunpeng 

on a bed of violets - I'm lying with my eyes slit 

tired blow the kiss to your violence. 

 

Welcome to the Spiral, looking there behind you. 

nothings there, just here. 

Spirits in the cinders, see the sirens yeah 

 there smiling with their eyes on you. 

Prophets mumbling dishonesty. 

crackles from the embers leave an amber glow. 

Cicadas yeah they follow me, these bastards tryna bother me 

got nothing but this fire and smoke! 

 

war with a rainstorm caught in this maelstrom 

voices in the tandem probably maybes what i tell them 

picking them at random spin the arrow what it lands on then ill trail on 

setting sail from out the alcove 

long days and dark nights what I count on 

and through the depths the light beckons from the mountains 

poseidons light beacons, fountains underneath us 

feel aquatic and anaesthetised, fighting for me feeling, 

kneeling, numb between my feet and thighs 

Compass glass splintered as it meets me eyes - 

shit im needing guidance. 

 tide licks, shudder, boat rocking side to side 

and in my mind yeah i think it's where the ride ends. 

seagulls cry, hope through my closed eyes 

a wave like a golem's hand smashing through the boats side. 

ropes fly - lashing like the 9 tails,  

drag my under down like the nose diving crow flies,  

tangling my limbs now. shit i might as well just swim down,  

great deluge relinquishing our sins. 

thinking all these things, either sinking or you'll swim 

but fate has handed me the dot so time to flow round! 

 

Welcome to the Spiral, looking there behind you. 

nothings there, just here. 

Spirits in the cinders, see the sirens yeah 

 there smiling with their eyes on you. 

Prophets mumbling dishonesty. 

crackles from the embers leave an amber glow. 

Cicadas yeah they follow me, these bastards tryna bother me 

got nothing but this fire and smoke!
