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 @thelotradio ✨

Bright Patterns

As Sydney returns to the dance, we couldn't think of many more DJs as suited to host #20 right now. Tim Boyd comes in very hot for this instalment with 2 hours of jacking house and soul fillers originally intended to grace the dancers at the Community Chest spring soirée. A facelift on the thumbnail starting with a face we are happy to lift onto the thumbnail.. if your ears haven’t had the pleasure of meeting this selector in a Sydney club yet, we are excited for your listen. 

Some words from @Tim_and_or_boyd
"I haven't had my turntables since moving to Canberra in June and haven't been able to travel back into NSW to pick them up until the border opened in the last couple weeks. When I finally got them I decided to set them up and straight away in one take do a mix of all the records I've wanted to play for the past 5 months. They're all from the bag I packed for Sydney's very special Community Chest party which got cancelled because of lockdown but I'm told is coming up soon!! Thanks for having me Jackson! "

Lot Radio - 04.11

"Drifting through the endless void, I find solace in the quiet chaos of time and space folding in on itself. My spacecraft Paradox glitches constantly, sending me hurtling through centuries and galaxies at random, but I’m honestly into it. Each jump brings me to new moments in time, and each encounter with objects feels like a fleeting ripple in an infinite ocean. I've met sentient beings, sharing brief moments with them, then always leave, watching their timelines fade into the distance as Paradox carries me to another era. Timelessness has become my constant companion, offering me a peace that no anchored reality ever could. 

Right now, I’m reflecting on a stunning exoplanet I just briefly visited. Like on many places with existing life, the beings there seemed to be in synchronized movement to a rhythm coming from the planet’s core, being piped in from a network of presumably other nearby planets, communicating like the trees from that one planet that ate itself. To my surprise, I suddenly had a deep craving to be in sync with them, but their shared rhythm was floating in and out for me like it was occasionally being smothered by a soft pillow. And sometimes it would echo all around me, ringing out of sync with their communal timing - but I moved to it nonetheless. The other beings didn’t seem to mind that I was out of sync, and we all moved together, as I embodied this lonely echo in my temporary quest for connection. As I left a bit later, floating on toward wherever I was headed next, I tapped into my own familiar inner rhythm, untethered and on the loose."

PlayPlay combines their penchant for percussion and bass with nostalgic samples & dreamy synths in both their DJ sets & music production. Their sound is inspired by years of clubbing, crate digging and the sounds they grew up dancing to - 90s club anthems, jungle, breakbeat hardcore, minimal wave, classic house and old school hip-hop. With releases out on labels such as Sorry Records, Clasico and Worst Behavior, as well as a slew of self-releases and collaborations, PlayPlay has been slowly and steadily amassing a thumping discography over the years.

Based in NYC, PlayPlay currently hosts two parties: Breaking Capacity, dedicated to all things breaks, and Satisfaction of What’s to Come, celebrating the many iterations of house music. In their home state of NC, they co-host PARADOX, a party exploring the timelessness of early rave music.

o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

“The idea for the mix was born from a series of contiguous and isomorphic fever dreams. The mix takes the form of 3 different chapters and follows my trajectory that night within dream space: 3 times being lulled into sleep by arrhythmic ambience, 3 times being pulled into a colder, atonal space, and 3 times escaping discord towards tranquility. The mix drifts out of pure ambience into 3 sections at 3 different BPMs: the first of which explores half-timey 80 BPM grooves and liquid DnB; the second explores chugging 100 BPM and trip-hop grooves; the final part explores 120 BPM psy breaks and IDM.”

After growing up on the renegade scene of Montreal, como se DJ moved to Brooklyn and founded the DIY party series RECESS with the intention of bringing a psy-forward sound he felt was missing in New York City. Inspired by forest raves and experimental dance music, he dreamt up his party with the desire to conjure the feeling of dancing in open nature with your friends. como se DJ’s sets strikes a balance of body- and heart-activating psychedelia. At once mischievous and emotional, he pulls in sonic elements of bass, deep techno, prog and electro, flirting with genre and groove, while maintaining a lush, blissed-out undercurrent.
