m50 + Tony G @ PLAY, TLC 2025.02.17

This mix is my opening set as a resident of the Sweet Abyss event series, recorded at Bantha Tea Bar in Pittsburgh, PA on February 26th, 2025, prior to a performance by Sug + Slug Beat Band and a DJ set from Formosa. The mix was mastered by Ali Berger. 

I felt this set captured a particular freakiness and range I was excited to share with folks. The week of the gig I had been going through some older beat / hip-hop records I had for years but had never or rarely played out as part of a formal set; mixing these together with some ambient & synth soundscapes in the days prior created the nucleus of the set to me. I came in more prepped than usual with the running order but still left some room for last-minute decisions and was glad to incorporate some errors in the moment in a “happy accident” kind of way. Both the Meredith Monk piece and Vivien Goldman “Private Armies” had been feeling particularly resonant and prescient over the past few months - setting the mix off with those and blending various eras of my past (through selections from different eras of my record collection) in order to come to a present clarity and understanding and way forward provided a cathartic and poetic throughline for me to arrange.
As far as the night of, I have greatly enjoyed being part of the Sweet Abyss event crew and knew from the last few events in the space that the audience would be particularly receptive and properly stoned and/or sober enough to enjoy the ride. I was sitting down, the audience was primarily sitting down, no alcohol was served, and I felt as though I was performing a recital at times, which was particularly amusing to me. (As always, I had accompaniment on fog machine.) I certainly got some existential anxiety out and had some moments of release playing some meaningful selections to me (thank you to the Bantha denizen who got up from their gamer laptop to absolutely freak it during the new wave portion of the set lol) and overall things felt accordingly moody & funky which is always the ideal balance for me.
I find great joy in assembling a (hopefully somewhat) coherent soundscape from as many disparate genres and sounds as possible and while this particular collection is on the freakier end for me, I do view it all as a complete and balanced breakfast. If you enjoyed, drop me a line, I appreciate the connections and sharing the music :) Cheers, Carrie Sours

"Now the circus played our town one day
And three Bengal tigers got away
And the manager look right straight at me
Said he, 'Now here's your opportunity…
Somebody's got to go on and get them cats…
The tiger man is sick in bed
Now all you got to do is put on your hat and coat' he said
'Because the man who catches them alive
A real hero he's gonna be…
Isn't that wonderful?' he says. 'a real wonderful chance for somebody…'

'Yes sir, Yes sir!' I said…'I agree with you!'
'A wonderful chance for somebody else, not me.'"
— Bert Williams
