I KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT - THEY WANT TO BE SHOCKED... AND GROOVED. AND THEY WANT HOUSE 
MUSIC.

Lawrence S. Williams Jr., better known as L.A. Williams, is an American DJ and producer from Chicago. Founder of the label Chisel, producer of over 27 releases, he has an idiosyncratic take to rhythms, sounds and grooves. 

As a huge fan, both impressed and beguiled, I wanted to shine a light on him. I still am often tripped up trying to blend his tracks while D'Jaying and fit them in a mix soooooooo I had to make this all L.A. mix ᏊˊꈊˋᏊ I spent the last few months collecting nearly all his releases on Discogs to use for the mix; a lot isn't available digitally, and it just felt right. 

I think the best way to hear his unique world and sound is via a tour of his various sides and styles, weaving and roiling, building and bubbling, jacking and smacking.

TELL ME ABOUT YESTERDAY
Sadly, I came home from Berlin with a vintage case of Influenza-A. So it was lots of working from the couch on Campout. Crunch time. 

SOMETHING WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU
My childhood was growing up in a family that ran Christian music festivals. lol

A few months late posting this, but here is what got captured from a very magical night into day that I still think about all the time! This is the first two hours of my set, much more craziness was had but the rest will live on in our memories <3 thanks again High+Tight for an incredible party!

Wonja @ High+Tight - June 18 2022

With roots in Pittsburgh and a recent stint in Denver, Paul Fleetwood @fleet412 is both a beacon and a connector within the North American dance music community. A co-founder of Hot Mass with hands in events such as Honcho Campout, Lot Mass, VIA Festival, the Great American Techno Festival, and Humanaut, his DJ sets and productions blend a classic, grounded Midwest techno sensibility with a modern edge, always infused with emotion and sincerity. In 2021, Fleetwood launched his own label, Perimeter Junk, which has already cemented itself as a forerunner in predicting the next wave of dancefloor heaters for kind-hearted weirdos.

Read the interview and see a tracklist:

"I knew I wanted a mix that featured mostly four-on-the-floor music, upbeat but smooth and not too aggressive. I imagined a much deeper and more emotive mix than what I originally intended but that didn’t make me any less happy with how it turned out.

This was recorded Saturday, October 8th, 2022 at my apartment in Denver, CO. I used two XDJ-700s and a A&H Xone:92 rotary mixer. I compiled a playlist of roughly nine hours of music from which to choose. Experimenting from that list, it took around seven takes to nail a flow that felt right.

The interview questions brought Molly Nilsson’s 'Never Coming Home' to mind so I decided to include it. I couldn't come up with a smarter way other than to place it as an encore so there ya go, my creative apex at work."

Juanita's Mix 079 with DJ RAQX @djraqx

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I am a DJ, event producer and educator from NYC with Puerto Rican and German roots. My music selection is heavily influenced by my hybrid cultures. As a DJ I love vinyl digging and hope to take listeners on a journey through time with vinyl + digital sets exploring 90s NY house, latin deep cuts, with new club and reggaeton sounds. As an event producer, I’ve been working on events with Misschief collective and Radio Red Puerto Rico.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I grew up in Manhattan and started going out exploring the club and music scene (mostly EDM shows) as a teenager over 10 years ago. I’ve been DJing and producing events in Brooklyn for the past 5 years at venues like Mood Ring, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Nowadays, Good Room and more.

Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. 50% wax 50 % digital. Deep cuts, vocals and house adjacent tracks with a dip into techno, acid and latin jazz. A mix of old and new, journey through “time and space“ of the 90s until now with records that have been on may rotation heavy recently. Recorded and mastered at Karlala studio.

Juanita's Mix 079: DJ RAQX

Selecting the artists who will close out the festival is always a decision that takes a great deal of thought and consideration. @davisgalvin, who also beautifully curated the Hemlock Nights stage, felt like the perfect starter to the last night of the festival. Their set is a lesson in maintaining a narrative through thoughtful programming. 

Davis is no stranger to creating trascendent, memorable music moments at campout, but this time we remembered to hit record 🐬✨

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Be yourself and do your best to let go of "perfection", it just does not exist. Ride the rhythm not the cue mark. Practice with any two records and/or tracks. Play YOUR beat in the mix, your friendships and with life in general. Less surrender to being salty may not be so cool these days but it will welcome a more patient attitude with yourself and help those that you love.

Daisychain 259 - Ron Like Hell

On this full moon in nurturing Cancer, @bezier captures and releases the effervescent force we need to inspire and sustain us in this strange season of annual rebirth. Percussive rhythm and flow capture the structured energy of saturnalian domme Capricorn, while textured breaks hint at Venus' current position in Aquarius – reminding us that rules are made to be tested – everything is cyclical, and yet novelty is a constant calling. Enjoy this gorgeous and energetic start to 2023, hatch plans, and soak up the secure lunar warmth of Cancer, which reminds us of who we are, and where we belong, even in the depths of Winter 🦀 

"I chose to present an energetic mix. Capricorn’s ruler Saturn is the taskmaster. We need a lot of pep and charge to get through the harsh January conditions so we can complete our mission. Saturn is a hard, dominating presence requiring discipline and direction. You need to ask for help from your friends and comfortable familiars to navigate all the obstacles Saturn throws at you. This is where the full moon in Cancer comes in. The full moon during Capricorn is where you need to look for guidance and inspiration to complete all odds and ends before the next new moon. Cancer rules the home, and the environment that nurtures you. A lot of tracks here represent a lot of artists and collectives that have influenced and inspired me over the years as a music producer and DJ. My friends are my family and home. It is an honor to represent them here in this mix."

Kiernan Laveaux - Live at Sole Rehab 7 YR anniversary

Our podcast series now turns to the vast and much mythologised record collection of Detroit native Carlos Souffront. Carlos often doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, except from those in the know, who accept and understand that he is a gourmet selector who reaches for only the finest records. As likely to reach for ambient and post punk as he is indie rock, experimental, house or techno, Carlos is a key part of the Interdimensional Transmissions parties in his home town and reportedly has one of the most bad ass collection of acid records in all the world.  The mix he turns in here is a freewheeling yet coherent round through many disparate sounds and scenes and needs to be heard to be believed.
