Wonja (@wonj) is an elite level record collector. The Oakland-based DJ and producer has been putting together mixes for many years that are filled with music that is hard to describe, let alone to find. From teary-eyed Italo disco to her series of Wood Glass Metal mixes via world music and more club ready sounds, she is a Jedi-level digger who also occasionally produces solo, or with partner Dan as Motoko & Myers. Her main priority, though, is to devour and share as much music as possible.

This week's podcast is a two hour trip to the outer edges of Wonja's collection that her partner describes as "hard sci-fi party tracks." It is a wide open and spacious selection where alien details, solar pulses and cosmic motifs all drift by as scattered percussion only hints at the most skeletal rhythms. Nothing about the tracks is at all familiar, and all genre terms are redundant. Even when more propulsive grooves do arrive, the sound sources are wonderfully weird and abstract, yet the desire to dance is as primal and compelling as ever. Few mixes are as full of WTF?! moments as this one.

Name: Kelsie Walda
Alias: DJ Chia Pudding (@chiapudding)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Chicago
 
Influences: dancing <3, earth and universal energy, god, flowers, Missy Elliott + the hip/hop and r&b of the 90's/early 00's that I grew up with, my friends, Noumenal Rave, pure joy, raving with real ones in the woods :), the Skate Palace (childhood skating rink), and trees

Favorite Quote: "The world is burning. Ideas are like hot potatoes. If you're still hoarding yours when the waves consume the shore, when the fires reach your village, you have lost the game. Don't hold an idea for too long. Give it away, and trust that someone may think it better than you. I have come to the conclusion that I may not live long enough to finish all the writing and stories I want to tell. How much better would it be to give these stories away to people who can grow them into something wilder and more durable? Authorship and individuality have only recently become attached to art-making. For most of human history art-making was always multi-generational and always a relational event" - Sophie Strand 
 
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Get to know yourself because other people (often unknowingly) will try to exert their will on you. If you can stay grounded in your own body/energy, you will be better equipped to navigate these influences in a healthy way. Practice :)) 

With this mix DJ Chia Pudding asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
Tokeyamaniwin Project aims to 
"- Preserve indigenous plant medicine by making flower and environmental essences throughout Lakota territory and collecting the stories and mythologies associated with these regions.
- Create a dialogue with mental health providers and other care providers about the beneficial uses of flower essences for people experiencing chronic and acute post-trauma symptoms, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, and anxious/depressive states.
- Make and distribute flower essences to those suffering generational trauma caused by the effects of long-term colonial genocide.
- Engage native youth on the Cheyenne River Sioux, Pine Ridge, Rosebud, and Standing Rock Reservations to learn and create flower essence medicine for the healing of their communities."

House of Others #007 | DJ ANARRES | House of the Dispossessed

Maloca Records chief Le Motel steps up in this week’s Rhythmic Culture podcast. As a music producer and film composer his versatility has taken him to festivals and clubs in every direction as naturally as he has ventured out to the less accessible areas of the globe as a field recordist. It’s somewhere in between these spaces that Le Motel operates, gathering unique experiences and sounds to channel through his studio. For this mix the Brussels-based artist created something around 85 - 100 bpm – and as far it might sound reassuring, don’t be fooled because it’s something to wrap your head around from begin to end.

DMX Krew Show - 18 February 2023

This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show features @deforrest-brown-jr, a writer and cultural theorist based in New York, who also makes music under the name @speakermusic.

In 2022, Brown Junior released his first book “Assembling a Black Counter Culture”, which in his own words, is a “historical science-fiction book about Black contributions to the electronic music industry.”

The book opens with a map from the album “The Quest”, by legendary Detroit electronic duo @drexciyaofficial, composed of James Stinson and Gerald Donald – who are the primary focus of this month episode’s mix. 

Created by Brown Jr., “The Myth of Drexciya” is a mix which features a sprawling selection of Drexciya’s discography from 1991 to 2002, revealing the “sonic fiction of the underwater civilizations’ aquatic invasion of the surface world.” 

The mix is accompanied by an interview with Brown Jr., who discusses collaborating with Detroit visual artist Abdul Qadim Haqq on his recent book, the influence that Drexciya have had on his work, and the best scenarios to enjoy their music in. Read the talk at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.
