Static Thematic radio shows

Tousist Radio Episode 10 comes from Hi-Vis, an artist based in Lower West Side Chicago, they run the Dreamtone label, as well as the Beyond / Below mix series. Their selections combine dub, ambient and house which creates a contemporary blend electronic, fuzz and deep rhythms. Iv'e found all their mixes to contain a constant theme of quality, patience, and beauty. This hour of music contains Pole, Best Available technology, Hoavi, amongst others.

Hi - Vis (Chicago, Dreamtone) - Tousist Radio -  Episode 10

Russian-born Anastasia Vtorova makes music that is autobiographical in style, but also in name. The titles of @machinewoman's tracks reference things like her favourite bouncers ('Camile From OHM Makes Me Feel Loved’) as well as her least favourite genres ('I Want to Fuck Tech House'). The beats themselves bare the hallmarks of the different chapters of her life, from the industrial she was first exposed to growing up in a post-Soviet environment to the late-night eeriness of Salford where she lived before moving amongst the minimal rhythms of Berlin. All this came out most recently in her distinctly glitchy, mechanical sounds and abstractions for toucan sounds with Derek Muro late last year. 

This week's mix feels like a continuation of that, with spacious after-dark electronics, moody ambient and shadowy dub techno soundtracking a walk through a desolate network of abandoned warehouses. Ghoulish sounds lurk around every corner as the pace picks up, with the occasional ray of light, drip of water or hallucinatory synth pulling you ever further into her world. It's a fascinating place to be.

"For the beginnings and the endings. loss and grieving. Love and support. Pain and suffering. Birth and renewal. Death and rebirth. Learning and unlearning and relearning and forgetting. Sorrow and isolation. Hatred and loathing, self. Love, respect. Communication, and expression. Compassion and empathy. Friendship and companionship. Family, blood and chosen. Community. Heritage, and culture. Romance and union. Envy and resentment. Patience and forgiveness. Ignorance and mindlessness. Justice and peace. Peace and unity. Knowledge and truth. Failure and acceptance. Wisdom and growth. Endings and beginnings. 

Thank you for showing love and support when I needed it :)" .r.s

Beyond / Below 50 "Omega Lake Safari" by @kevmachine. Received December 2023.
Photo: Sean Jacobi - BWCA 2023

"We spent three nights under incredible auroras on a spit of bedrock beside a remote glacial lake in the North Woods just before the fall equinox this year. Prepared listening to further grasp the significance and connect deeply with our experience has been the ritual. At the center of each trip, and mix, was the glimmer of opportunity to see the lights. At this confluence of time and space, in the midst of powerful reflection, we let the music do its thing at the listening point on Omega Lake.

Keep looking up."

"The vision + photo of a winter sunset on Lake Michigan became the starting point. From there, the mix evolved into three movements that were influenced by the Metro/Smartbar "23 Hour Party People" chill room sets through which I first got to know Hi-Vis. Even though it is intended for deep listening, it sounds best at high volume with proper bass."
