Bright Patterns is a show about following an internal absolute while navigating endless options. It’s a belief in building trust around your own instincts to always lead you in the right direction. The monthly program is curated by Vicki Siolos and the occasional guest, and leans on ambient, experimental, and downtempo electronic music to kick off an early morning on The Lot. The principles can apply to any genre at any time, and Siolos draws from her role as an interaction designer to influence her selections and holistic narrative.

This month’s edition of Bright Patterns features Craig Gonzalez from Detroit on the second hour. His refreshing selections add to the pile of genres he’s explored across decades of crafting his own diverse style. Vicki’s set in the first half of the show features new music from Autechre, Bill Converse, Jo Johnson, Wata Igarashi, and Chaperone. #staybright

Bright Patterns with Vicki Siolos & Craig Gonzalez @ The Lot Radio 10 - 15 - 2020

Hip hop perked the interest of Detroit’s Craig Gonzalez to vinyl at a young age, and underground parties in the 1990s soon catalyzed a lifelong fascination with DJing. Inspired by versatility, his self-taught techniques have grown from weaving rhythmic layers into powerful, personal narratives.

Influenced by the Mike Huckaby’s depth and the hypnotic craft of Donato Dozzy, Gonzalez has honed his own style from a global network of like-minded artists. Family, history, and culture that surrounds electronic music have been key to his deep sensibilities, which translate seamlessly across a dance floor.

Bright Patterns is a principle built around trusting your own instincts to always lead you in the right direction. The two-hour show airs each month on The Lot Radio from Brooklyn, New York.
