dripping III

@adab arrived at a love of electronic music on the dance floor of queer-run techno party In Training in their native Cleveland. Before long, they went on to established themselves as a DJ who plays electric sets of house, techno and club beats as part of a constant quest to "seek the unifying elements in the world and themselves." The Pittsburgh resident and radio regular is now half of Cleveland party Heaven is in You and has an international profile that is only set to grow as they continue to confound expectations with each new set. 

That starts with this week's mix, which is an other-worldly trip into genre-less electronics. Dense and cinematic ambiance and sound design set the opening scene - it's a world of searching synths and shadowy alien life forms in which a skeletal rhythm eventually appears. Deconstructed dub, club and jungle flavour the ensuing grooves which are heads down and dark. They evoke all manner of dystopian futures and make for a brilliantly unconventional ride.

Thanks for having me Sustain Release! I'll never forget this <3

DJ Plead - Sustain Release, Year 9

After years of underwhelming dance floors and sadness at the disinheritance of blackness from techno and house music especially on the LA scene, we’ve begun a social experiment, coalition, cloud formation; entitled “rave reparations”. The initiative aims to help build relationships between local black DJs, specifically queer / femme / bipoc and house/techno promoters who are largely not of these communities. We also call on support from these lesser marginalized bodies in conscripting venues and fiscal support for parties thrown by the aforementioned groups.

Back on the Rinse France airwaves for the last show of the year, and we’re closing things out in style. This time we’re thrilled to welcome one of our favorite NYC labels, White Material—run by Young Male and DJ Richard, the latter also being a longtime artist on our own Public System Recordings imprint.

For this special occasion, the two honchos teamed up with another legend, Galcher Lustwerk, sharing a two-hour slot to wrap up the year with real finesse.

Young Male, a New York–based producer and DJ, brings a mix he describes as “a loose blend of sexy tracks I remember hearing at warehouse parties in NYC through the years—long blends, classy vibes, thumping bass lines, hip house, minimal house, breaks, moments of harmony, moments of dissonance, and Madonna.”

Galcher Lustwerk, born in Cleveland and based in New York, is known for his chilled, sensual deep-house sound and his nonchalant, stream-of-consciousness vocal style—refined through more than two decades of DJing and production.

DJ Richard, hailing from Rhode Island, contributes his signature tension-driven approach, crafting patient, tunneling narratives from a wide palette of genres. His sets unfold like fully formed environments—dark, absorbing, and quietly commanding.

Three heavyweights, two hours, one perfect way to close out the year.
