For Deep South ATL, I leaned into the idea of sharing a Rose Kourts jam session in its purest form. This is a free-flowing power hour of tracks and records I’ve been digging lately. It’s eclectic and funky, full of energy and crunchy, groovy, acid-heavy sounds that get my heart pumping, feet stomping, and stank face going. Especially as a queer Black Southern gal, it is both a pleasure and an honor for me to contribute to this fantastic series. Y’all better turn it up, enjoy!

Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Rose Kourts is a Brooklyn-based DJ, radio host, and organizer, known for blending musical styles and influences with a signature touch and a buoyant energy. Since bursting onto the scene in 2019, she has quickly become a favorite at New York’s most buzzing clubs and parties, electrifying dancefloors and airwaves alike with dynamic selections that reflect deep digging sensibilities and a love and respect for the underground. Rose Kourts' selections bloom into soulful warmth as easily as tense menace, and she wields this versatility with a philosophy of fun that extends to her monthly Lot Radio resident show GEMS, her work as a co-founder of DIY renegade party Sweet Kicks, and as the head of local club night NOW. 

Rose Kourts can regularly be found whipping dancefloors into a sonic frenzy at Brooklyn venues such as BASEMENT, Nowadays, Good Room, Paragon, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Mood Ring, and Public Records. The last year has seen the artist blossom into not only an established mainstay in her local scene, but also a growing presence at clubs and events across and outside of the US. Her travels outside of New York have thrilled dancers and won her a growing international fan base across electronic hubs like Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Detroit and beyond.

The DJ has played festivals such as WIRE Festival, Dweller Festival, Fourth World, Shaker Mountain, Slingshot Festival, London’s Keep Hush, and Boiler Room; storied parties with collectives including WRECKED, The Carry Nation, BOUND, and The Bunker in NYC, LA’s Ostabahnhof, Miami’s Proibidae, Berlin’s Body Language, and Copenhagen’s Fast Forward; and as direct support for legendary artists like Mr. G and Moodymann, DJ Stingray and Helena Hauff, Robert Owens, The Egyptian Lover, and DJ T-1000, among other seminal talents.

Wes Baggaley Live At Unfold 310324

"My mission is to explore the boundaries of psychedelic music." The revered techno artist talks about expanding consciousness, breaking the rules and his new album on Tresor. 

There has always been a strain of dance music that has leant psychedelic, from the leftfield psychoacoustics of pioneers like La Monte Young to the proggy techno taking over today's dance floors. One artist who embodies the spirit of psychedelia is Anthony Child, AKA Surgeon, a revered DJ and producer who has historically been placed in the world of industrial techno, but whose output over the years has consistently flirted with altered states of consciousness and a strong opposition to the mainstream.

Child is originally from Birmingham, where he and Karl O'Connor, AKA Regis, helped birth a style of powerful, loop-driven techno. Together, they're British Murder Boys and have released music on O'Connor's seminal label Downwards. But they've also ploughed successful solo careers, with Child putting out several releases on Tresor and performing live improvised electronics as Surgeon and as part of ambient listening duo The Transcendence Orchestra.

In this interview, Child talks about his most recent release on Tresor, the album Shell~Wave, and its innovative use of techniques associated with Jamaican dub. He also discusses the through line of psychedelia in his work and what it means to surrender oneself to sometimes uncomfortable processes—both creatively and in life—and come out the other side. There are strong links to spirituality and Buddhism in Child's work, many of which are designed to prompt listeners to question and reconsider the boundaries they've set around the reality they live in.

“What struck me most about those who rioted was how long they waited—the restraint they showed. Not the spontaneity, the restraint. They waited and waited for justice, and it didn’t come. No one talks about that."

- Toni Morrison
