This session was originally recorded for a fundraiser during last year, but wanted to redo it to tighten up the blends. I picked a lot of tracks that remind me of the deeper side of Detroit. This feeling went with what I was feeling during the time of being home and secluded from a lot of friends.

Notes on the Mix ///
"I’ve had a lot on my mind this summer as I’ve adjusted to an intense tour schedule. This is my job now and I am super grateful for the opportunity to travel and share music. This heightened intensity has made it hard to take a moment to breathe, so I’m working on that. This mix isn’t entirely focused on that though. I made this mix while thinking about all of my friends medically transitioning at the moment. There is no explicitly trans messaging in this mix, or even trans artists (to my knowledge), but I made it while holding space for my friends starting to bind, starting HRT, fundraising for Top surgery, growing and expanding their consciousness whilst reconciling with and embracing their bodily autonomy. So this one is a kind of dedication to them and my love for them and my hope that these sounds give them some space, just for them."

Hieroglyphic Being @ The Lot Radio 10 - 29 - 2022

This is a booth recording of Huck playing the headline slot of the September 2015 edition of Midwest Fresh held at MINT Gallery in Columbus, OH.  Midwest Fresh was a series of warehouse parties thrown by a changing cast of Columbus DJ's and promoters including Jed Fenton, Kevin Brugger, Tony Fairchild, Alexi Vlaar, Brian Cheng, Titonton Duvante and Mike Amerine.  It ran from August 2014 - October 2019.

This mix is shared publicly for the first time as part of a series of interviews paying tribute to Huck and his legacy.  The first edition of this multi-part tribute will be published December, 7 2022 at https://presstest.substack.com/.

Note: The sound can be a little hot in the beginning but things level out after a bit.

On this full moon in nurturing Cancer, @bezier captures and releases the effervescent force we need to inspire and sustain us in this strange season of annual rebirth. Percussive rhythm and flow capture the structured energy of saturnalian domme Capricorn, while textured breaks hint at Venus' current position in Aquarius – reminding us that rules are made to be tested – everything is cyclical, and yet novelty is a constant calling. Enjoy this gorgeous and energetic start to 2023, hatch plans, and soak up the secure lunar warmth of Cancer, which reminds us of who we are, and where we belong, even in the depths of Winter 🦀 

"I chose to present an energetic mix. Capricorn’s ruler Saturn is the taskmaster. We need a lot of pep and charge to get through the harsh January conditions so we can complete our mission. Saturn is a hard, dominating presence requiring discipline and direction. You need to ask for help from your friends and comfortable familiars to navigate all the obstacles Saturn throws at you. This is where the full moon in Cancer comes in. The full moon during Capricorn is where you need to look for guidance and inspiration to complete all odds and ends before the next new moon. Cancer rules the home, and the environment that nurtures you. A lot of tracks here represent a lot of artists and collectives that have influenced and inspired me over the years as a music producer and DJ. My friends are my family and home. It is an honor to represent them here in this mix."

Trushmix 86 welcomes Sleep D straight outta Frankston, Melbourne.
The Butter sessions boys made a trushmix to make you dance and shake your ass
now that summer comes around (in Europe).
Check this two hours of percussive house, bouncing techno and vibey tunes mixed together by the boys down under. 

Rumors say they'll soon be on a Euro tour, to spread their music, live and direct and with turntables in the mix. Have your ears and eyes open, and you'll catch them.
Also always be on the look out for new releases on Butter Sessions. Always active, serving you with some fine vinyl from down under.

Rumors also say FB and a friend will have a new record out on Butter Sessions soon, time will only tell.

In the mean time, enjoy this mix to the full! Sleep D in the mix!

Along side recordings live from the HM dance floor and our special events, we'll be looking to our favorite DJs, Producers and occasionally our own Residents for guest/studio mixes.

For this Mass Cast we've called on Honcho resident and disciple of the drum, @clarkdprice. In the never ending quest for hot tracks Clark always seems to come out ahead; only finding the best of the best to add to his collection. Pulling from this stash of hot tracks, Clark easily slips between warm house, sleek electro and swirling spacey techno in this 1.5 hr mix. Enjoy!
