More about the CIRCLING VULTURES: Circling Vultures is a hardware driven project fronted by Chicago natives Justin Long (Hugo Ball), and Ken Zawacki (Dar Embarks). Making no apologies and taking no prisoners, The Vultures sonic output follow within (and outside) the traditions of warehouse dance music culture and DIY punk practices. Zawacki and Long spent a predominant amount of their teenage years traversing through the hedonistic spaces of the Midwestern techno scene of the 1990’s, which was an era that saw a unification of acid house, knuckle biting electronics, and unforgiving hardcore. These experiences together with their adoration for subversive mutant music served as the base of inspiration for the establishment of the Vultures sound, which can be viewed as a brutal photograph of a world dipped in chaos that continues to optimistically grasp for air.

Secret Studio Records (Secret Studio), is a blue collar DIY label and production team based out of California's Bay Area with deep roots to Chicagoland. Six releases deep, Secret Studio has established a strong acidic catalog centered around hard-hitting jack tracks and lo-fi techno with raw aesthetics. The label features co-productions with D'Marc Cantu, D-Wynn and Jason Kendig (Honey Soundsystem), while also releasing EPs by fringe/upcoming artists Josh Elle, and Circling Vultures. Secret Studio is a vinyl only label at heart, focused on short runs of 2-400 copies, hand-stamped and numbered with limited distribution. Supporters of the label are urged to purchase direct at www.SecretStudioRecords.com, where digital copies of their material can be found with all 12” purchases.

Secret Studio: A 5 Mag Mix 49

Our next podcast offering to the ever-hungry Lodge spirits comes from legendary Chicago sonic warlock, Justin Aulis Long. Justin has been a staple in the Midwest electronic music scene since the early 90's, borne from the fires of the infamous Medusa's on Sheffield. His technique and musical language have positioned him as one of Chicago's legendary selectors. Together with Eris Drew, Sevron and Sold, he is a founding member of the Hugo Ball gatherings that take place at Smartbar Chicago, where he is also the senior resident. Together with Ken Zawacki, Long is also one half of Circling Vultures, a techno-punk outfit with releases on respected labels such as L.I.E.S., Contort Yourself, Secret Studio, and later this year on our own Black Lodge label. A true chaos magician, Homeric poet, alchemist and visual artist. We are honored to share this podcast inspired by our recent Samhain gathering, of which he was an integral part of.

Artist's Statement:
"This recording is an alchemical reaction to the events that occurred within the paranormal spaces of the Black Lodge in Los Angles during the celebration of Halloween, a holiday with roots in the ancient pagan festival, Samhain. While engaged in the performative action of musical selection, time lost its significance as the material world dissolved. Turntables, mixer, and a thoughtful grouping of records (magic spells/alchemical compounds) are machines for divination. The sonic alchemy that thrives in the realm of chaos magick holds the key to travel beyond the familiar, and in that space is where we can locate the warm embrace of angels."
