Happy Pride weekend! Today is an exclusive mix from CB-R. He is a talented dub techno producer who is originally from the Bay Area, but like many, has long relocated to Brooklyn.

He recently released a track on the new 100% Silk compilation Sunset Silk and has a 4-track dub techno release called Inside Existence on S//P//A, his own label co-run by Jay Goitia. CB-R also has a release coming out soon with Brooklyn based label Cut Mistake Music.

Infinite Beat has moved to @sutrofm! Broadcast 76 features the last DJ set that I performed live at Ambient Awakening’s church February 22, 2020. This mix was a sonic interpretation of Pina Bausch’s work in the tanztheater through atonal soundscapes, black metal drones, sluggish rhythms and INTENSITY. Much of her work explored the raw emotion of relationships; from tenderness, alienation, deep intimacy and even violent bursts of anguish. Her work is unapologetic and beautiful. Graceful and ugly. It would have been a joy to see her interpret such sounds herself. Enjoy.

Broadcast 77 features an intimate conversation with musician @indynyles. From his roots in the Bay Area to new foundations in techno's birth place of Detroit, Michigan, Indy is shape shifting his music into new forms of hi-tech jazz and techno music. 

Recorded in isolation, Indy's studio in Motor City and my own home studio in San Francisco, we talk in-depth about Indy's unique perspective on identity, the future of music as an industry of capital and feeling vulnerable during a battle for black lives.

Afterwards is a lush mix of Indy's influences and his own music.
