Vancouver's @djhockey brings a sense of playfulness, groove, and emotion to a realm of psychedelic, twisted techno that can often take itself too seriously. He regularly appears at Vancouver venues like Dolly and recently played at the inaugural Osmosis in the Trees festival in Oregon. In addition to DJing, he co-runs record label and mix series @pprzrecords alongside Adam 2, uplifting emerging artists from across the underground and most recently releasing his own latest EP, Celestial Pursuit.

"This mix combined parts of various gigs I was working on that fell through. The gigs had quite differing musical lineups and set times, which I combined with some tracks that had been sitting in my wishlist on Bandcamp but never seen a fit for a particular project as of yet. It quickly turned into my favourite mix I’ve created thus far, as I feel it closely represents my favourite aspects of dance music all in one.

I have been working on trying to incorporate a wider range of my style into my podcasts so that each one doesn’t get tunnel vision, while still telling a slow burning story. I’ve also been pushing myself to make each individual blend something unique. Lots of tracks work well together, but is it something special and new? These are questions I have been asking myself more lately. I like the playfulness of this mix, but it also has moments where you may question what emotion you’re feeling."

"A journey through the archives of Honest Jon's and Rhythm & Sound, plus a dub-reworked 1979 Italian gem“ - @katatonicsilentio

Bleep Mix #264 - Katatonic Silentio

Based in NYC, and with a background as a DJ, writer, and event organizer, Lychee's (@lycheefrut) underground energy is evident in every set they craft. With regular appearances at Basement, Nowadays, and Bossa Nova Civic Club, Lychee also runs Spontaneous Affinity, a monthly mix and interview series and occasional event platform, and the label Unimatrix Zero, as well as serving on the board for the Aslice Foundation.

Drawing inspiration from recent musical explorations at Nowadays in NYC in particular, Lychee's Patterns of Perception 116 showcases a return to their musical foundations in hypnotic, dubby, wormholey techno. Embracing a more focused, classic feel than many of their recent dancefloor explorations, this mix infuses a sense of narrative and evolution, effortlessly blending darkness and light, corporeality and sentimentality.

Mutual Dreaming with Aurora Halal and deep creep @ The Lot Radio 09-28-2023

Big one here. DJ Winggold was joined in the Netil studio this month by none other than the legendary @itsallhalal, purveyor of all things deep and hypnotic. A regular at the most esteemed dancefloors across the globe, she's known for her intuitive sets traversing a wide spectrum of sounds, all tied together by contrasts between dark, dreamy and atmospheric. 

A true multidisciplinary artist, she runs the Mutual Dreaming party series and label, founded North American festival Sustain Release and is also known for her fearsome, shapeshifting live sets. 

Live and direct from the studio, she contributed a typically stellar mix, bringing a lush and deep selection of techno and electro before DJ Winggold heated things up with an expansive set of ravey, psychedelic bass and techno. It's a special one x

Unbound Riddims w/DJ Winggold & Aurora Halal - 09.10.23

Recorded live at the Grove, Saturday 8-10PM, Sustain-Release Year Nine (2023). Thank you to Aurora & the Sustain-Release team for the trust, to everyone who shared this memory I'll never forget.

DJ Hockey approaches techno by intermingling layers of contrasting elements. Defining characteristics for his selections are grounded, thick, encompassing atmospheres often on the introspective side. Psychedelia is present in all of his musical expressions, crafting dynamic journeys resulting in playful and groovy sets.

Notes on the Mix ///
"I wanted this mix to be my interpretation of intriguing soundscapes with an overarching feeling of groove, playfulness, a dose of sass and queerness. This mix is intended to be celebratory and funky leaving you with a pep in your step for the rest of the day."

SPONTANEOUS AFFINITY is about the communal nature of the dancefloor. It's about communication and feedback. Spontaneous Affinity isn't for the isolated bedroom producer, although we love them, too—it is for those of us who understand music and dance as one of the most powerful sources of personal growth and interpersonal empathy, who are driven by the need to support and elevate one another, and as a result experience the evolution of our creative and connective selves.

Spontaneous Affinity isn't about ego, knowledge, paraphernalia, or exclusivity of any kind. It's about PURE SENSATION. It's about losing track of yourself and merging with a moment. It's about temporary autonomous zones and ephemeral connections. It's about forgetting to Shazam that track or fix your hair. It's about the hours far past dawn when everyone left on the dancefloor has laid their soul bare but still looks beautiful under the harshness of sunlight.

Spontaneous Affinity is NOT A UTOPIAN VISION. It's about understanding how to let go. How to let go of a person. How to let go of a place. How to break a routine even if it hurts. How to appreciate a feeling that can't last forever as if it were eternal, and how to appreciate challenging moments—and challenging sounds—as catalysts for growth.
