Channeling the grit and power of east coast club music from his native Philadelphia to his current setup in Berlin, Squidbrain adds classic rave styles, a penchant for bass, and spontaneous A.D.D. energy to the mix, resulting in categorically off-kilter yet driving dance tracks.

Compelled by the aversion to the restlessness of months of pandemic lockdowns, Squidbrain’s NC4K debut drops a set of hard-hitting, breakbeat-centric tracks seeking to knock off the dust of the underwhelming past. Citing influences as wide ranging as Container, Kate Bush, DJ Rashad, and German language cream cheese commercials, these tracks, along with a remix by producer Paperkraft, do just that. With pre-release support on outlets like Rinse FM, FJAAK’s Spandau20 podcast series, and Munich’s Radio 80000, DJs and listeners are latching onto what the restless Philadelphian abroad has to offer.

Releasing on October 1, 2021.

I can't remember the exact first time I met Squidbrain--it was pre pandemic 2010s in Philly so I was wilin'--but I do distinctly remember a great time hanging out at a pier party rave on Columbus Blvd in Philadelphia and loved his vibe. We stayed in touch over the years. I particularly loved his knack for digging for quality but obscure music and quirky sense of humor.

It took until 2023 when I visited him in Berlin, Germany, his residence for a while now, did we really get to kick it for a while. Wearing a bucket hat at a bougy Berlin bistro, it was great to see he still kept the Philly funk in Berlin. We caught up on old times...I learned some unique things about being a Berlin resident and that he's still staying creative with music. It's always refreshing to hang out with a long time club friend in the daytime.

To my surprise, he had been keeping up with the Ancient Puzzle Arts podcast abroad and wanted to contribute a mix. Of course I agreed, not knowing what to expect. In typical form, Squidbrain provided a very unique selection of global underground dance music where the entire mix is comprised of people he personally knows. The mix is quite eclectic but somehow sounds cohesive and very modern. It's cool to hear Squidbrain is staying connected and supportive of his talented friends and able to bring a global perspective to the mix series.

Please enjoy Squidbrain's all homies mix! Dig into the track listing because these are some very rare finds.
