Dada Strain with Piotr Orlov and Speaker Music (DeForrest Brown Jr.) @ The Lot Radio 03-31-2023

Sunday evening... An unexpected visitor from Chicago named duKe comes to Kiosk Radio to enjoy the good weather, music and vibes... all of a sudden the owner of the establishment asked if he would like to play... that was accepted and exclusively as an impromptu demonstration of finds from an afternoon spent digging at Crevette Records, and after an all-nighter at Fuse’s Motion Room. 
Lock in for the ride!

Exploring Sun Ra — Matteo Martino | TO-200919

I took a short break with the mixes to hammer out some other projects I had swirling around and to ride my bike entirely too much, but Blissing Persons is back and I am happy to be posting a mix from a new friend, Simonowsky from the Black Lodge collective in LA, who reached out to me with a mix that hit the spot perfectly. 

Matt hails from just outside of Chicago and pins his interest in DJing to his interest in UK material around the age of 18. With a little bit of reverse engineering, listening to material from the English underground lead him to listening to music from his own background, sparking a love affair with house and techno born out of the 2nd city.

With experience in stage management and having spent some time working for Ron Trent's manager, a move to LA and linking up with the Black Lodge folks in 2014 was an easy transition; helping book gigs, and getting some legs on the record label/production end of things.

What really grabbed me is the attempt to achieve alleviation from the dread and panic of anxiety and depression by using drone and meditative music. Matt practices yoga and meditation to make his way through what many of us struggle with, and I have been vocal in the past about my own issues with anxiety and how music is one of my few outlets to fight it. Matt has done an excellent job in this case, and this mix is a testament to the great work he is doing on the west coast. Go to some parties of theirs, but first, listen to these jams.

Now the world has slowed down due to corona we have all space and time to reflect and to create. From this place in space I made a mix I normally wouldn't  have the time to make and you wouldn’t have the time to listen to it. Calm down is a 6 hour spiritual jazz adventure, a dedication to all musicians that are struggling, I hope this mix inspires you like music always has inspired me. 
Thank you

CALM DOWN / spiritual jazz

Last week, we kicked off the brand new series with close family member Palms Trax who did a Joaquin Joe Claussell tribute, and we’re happy Jameszoo jumped on the train as well to do the next. Let's admit it right away: he has absolutely blown our minds by cooking up a 𝟐𝟒 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐱 (!) for In Focus. A favourite digger of ours blows his collection wide open to soundtrack a perfect rotation of the earth: "brushing teeth, eating dinner... losing and regaining focus many times." What a champ.

Jameszoo: "For me real focus is too scarce to be able to rely on it. It comes and it goes without me feeling like I have got a firm grip on it. Luckily, I very much enjoy the shift of focus. I enjoy it when focus is there, but also when it becomes fluid again. I remember seeing a 6 hour chunk of Christian Marclays 'The Clock' where fragments of film together with my own (lack of) focus created ever changing new narratives.

During these following 24 hours of music, it will certainly become night and then day again, the earth will rotate once (perfectly), we will brush our teeth and eat dinner, and most likely we will lose and regain focus many times. If anything it will help to bring us to this exact moment one day from now — enjoy."
