The music, sounds, and vibrations encapsulated in this 160 minute DJ mix performed by .THE JASS. at ENTER. on July 4th 2013 in Space Club are not usually heard on the summer island paradise of Ibiza.  .THE JASS. played a total of 5 hours in the cave-like MIND room:  thick smoke, throbbing strobe lights, and metallic mesh stalactites created the dark dwelling for deep musical experiments in lower BPM ranges, heavy atmospheres, and hypnotic grooves - those who ventured within the MIND room were pulled into a black hole in the middle of ENTER.Experience.

Special thanks to Richie Hawtin for the opportunity to DJ at ENTER. It was an honor to be cloaked in the ENTER.MIND room. Additionally, many thanks to Anduin, Lesley Flanigan, and Tristan Perich for providing me exclusive unreleased songs to DJ for this event - their sounds along with 89 other tracks are captured throughout this two hour and forty minute set.

.THE JASS. DJ Set at ENTER. July 4th 2013 in Space Club Ibiza

For those of you who don't know me, my name is .thejass. (pronounced 'dot the jass dot') and I&nbsp;helped out with the minimal house, electro, and techno parties called <a href="http://www.wearerobots.net">ROBOTS</a> in New York City that lasted an incredible 3+ years, and promoted 140 events through end of 2007. My two mixes "comparing complementary contrasts" "death directing darkness" were created through my guest appearances at 'ROBOTRADIO' a weekly (thursday's 6pm-8pm EST) internet radio show at <a href="http://eastvillageradio.com">eastvillageradio.com</a>. If the mixes must be stylized, they are a blend of moody electronica, lush ambient atmospheres, instrumental downtempo, haunting melodies, experimental soundwork recordings, dark drones, cinematic scores, and every other adjective that can be articulated to reflect the slow to mid paced sounds that are built up, taken down, then dragged around for 80 minutes each, and together total 76 tracks.



"comparing complementary contrasts"

“Murdered Out Techno Vol.2” a .thejass. exclusive mix for Slabs Of The Tabernacle. Murdered Out Techno is about as far away from electronic dance music as you can get before it stops being dance music. Murdered Out Techno Vol. 1 was like hearing techno music in a dark alley outside of a dance club; “Murdered Out Techno Vol.2” brings the heavy layers of doom metal, drone, and dark ambient samples into the DJ booth – the matte blacked out repetitive four to the floor kick drum has increased in pitch and menacing monochromatic tones are sustained long enough to induct any shaman into a meditative blackout. – .thejass.

MURDERED OUT TECHNO Vol. 2 .thejass. Mix

sounds of experimental electronic music to droning metal, "endlessly elapsing evil" is my third mix on the www.wearerobots.net site. titled to describe its dark theme, the 50 tracks spanning 80 minutes are suggestive of the murky time we live in. grim sounds so wonderful at this moment; it encourages listeners to surrender to the inevitable. the light at the end of the tunnel is actually a train, and when one accepts death, the funeral sounds of deep matte black music that may have once been evil, are now good.

#SZ10 DJ mix

denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance are themes of the fourth .thejass. mix: “fear forges feedback”, an 80 minute set of 57 tracks forged to cure the fear of loss with heavy doses of sonic feedback, and prescribed to listeners deprived by death. The diagnosed audio side effects are fragmentary breaths of electric guitars, pupils enlarge from blackened soundscapes, the jaw is opened through distressed vocals, limbs become rigid in uncirculated noise, fingers curl into a doom metal claw, and finally, a static stare towards mysterious cinematic tones conclude the aftermath of loss.


"fear forges feedback"

“Murdered Out Techno” a .thejass. exclusive mix for Slabs Of The Tabernacle is like hearing techno music in a dark alley outside of a dance club – a matte blacked out repetitive four to the floor kick drum is buried beneath heavy layers of doom metal, drone, and dark ambient samples. With the beats per minute sedated like our great recession, the grim cognitive loops repeat long enough to result in a shamanic homicide.” – .thejass. Dec. 18th 2010

"MURDERED OUT TECHNO"

my philosophical artistic pseudonym ".thejass." is a change in the notion of identity. "the" specifies the definiteness of my name "jass", which are concatenated, and delimited by dots "." that symbolize not only a beginning and an eventual end of my physical life, but also an aesthetic of virtual immortality. .thejass. is a reference to the domain name system that defines where i exist in the realm of the internet and is an online grave stone marker in the vastness of the global network.
