Steel City Dance Discs with Moktar & Yollks - 21 April 2021

FTP MIX 14 - No Smokey No Fire (Re-upload)

Skee Mask is one of dance music's greatest crossover stories of the past decade, with new albums greeted with the attention usually reserved for an Aphex Twin or a Caribou. ("Loved seeing this on r/indieheads," said one Reddit user, on the release of the 2021 LP Pool.) It's not hard to understand why: albums like Compro, he blends well-worn dance music tropes with incredible, detailed soundscapes and spine-tingling melodies. And on his 12-inches, he brings that sensibility to the dance floor, with an approach probably best described as articulate. Even on his most ambient of tracks, everything is in its right place. Along with founders the Zenker Brothers, his music outlines everything that makes Munich outfit Ilian Tape one of the best techno labels going.

On the decks, it's kind of a different story. It might surprise you if you only know his albums, but Skee Mask is an incredible DJ, balancing his predilection for hip-hop and UK-informed sounds with laser-focused techno. He can adapt to all sorts of situations—there's an incredible recording of him DJing with four of the best grime and drum & bass MCs in the business—and on his RA Podcast he focuses on the techno side of things, with nearly two hours of pacey techno and creative mixing, with dips into acid, electro, garage and more. It's a party-starting mix from a genuine star, perfect for getting through the holiday doldrums or pre-gaming your NYE plans. Like Skee Mask's best records, it's something to enjoy in any number of settings.

My set closing out Room 2 on the Saturday night of Freerotation 2024.

Pariah @ Freerotation 2024, Baskerville Hall, UK (06/07/24)

back in september i had the chance to play the @sustain-release-nyc year ten pool party—probably my favorite part of the festival after years i been attending. i was lucky to share the decks with fam and favs rose kourts and colored craig, which made it even more special <3 

as some know, this set was originally meant to be a b2b with sekucci and i , but due to some last-minute changes, we had to pivot and i ended up playing solo. this one’s dedicated to u—sending much love ur way always 💞

was lucky to get the recording of the set, though i had no idea it was being captured. it came out super blown out, but huge thanks to love letters for working their mixing and mastering magic to bring some life back into it. the result is crunchy, textured, and a bit raw, but it feels right.

the energy that day was unmatched, and this set holds a special place in my lil heart. if you were there, thank you for dancing and being part of that moment. if not, tap in and let me know what you think—so glad this lil time capsule made it 😁

Continuing again with my Early Spring Cleaning Project, where I will post each day one of my unreleased, mostly unmixed, sometimes abrupt ending, experimental, nearly complete tracks.

The story for this one: Back in September of 2023 I was really leaning into the Splice Stacks feature they added at the time, and a few of the samples here were from one of those tests. I never really released it because, generally, I don't put out high energy tracks like this a lot. I'd love to, but sometimes my brain needs a break from it, too. I shelved it and now you get to hear it! 

Let me know if you like it, if you're keeping track this is #4 so tomorrow will be something different! It may be shorter, it may be mixed differently, and it could have VOCALS again! Believe it or not I'm not anti-vocals, I just don't NEED vocals to get the point across. I've got oohs and ahhs over the years in some tracks but I digress...
