WHAT
‣   Tapes are the archived spine of the weekly 4DJs CAST Twitch.tv/shapeblue broadcast—each episode pressed into a series of TAPES000.

‣   A playground for DJs to dig up new territory in experimental mixing methods and immersive soundscapes that everyone deserves.


WHY 
‣   4DJs started as a one-person proof-of-concept: could a mix be more than track-to-track experience, could it feel like a short film? It’s grown into an open lab where any adventurous DJ can co-pilot and push the craft past status-quo of beat-matching. Every different approach lifts the art a notch higher; every solo tape shows where my sound is headed next.

——————
FULLY IMMERSE
1. Quality headphones or speaker. >> Dial in on a TAPE.
2. If a transition warps your reality, let me know; the next episode might start with your idea.

4DJs CAST

Eternal Rhythm of the Spotless Mix

We often journey through life without truly being present, our experiences and the ticking of our hourglass simply passing us by. It's not until we encounter a life-altering moment that we awaken to the profound depths of our existence.
As scenes of your past and present intertwine, find yourself immersed in a dreamscape. And when you finally emerge… it's with a rejuvenating smile, a reminder that you are still here, living and breathing in your beautiful, ever-unfolding life.

Segment from play session.

4DJS:    A series that promotes alternative mixing methods in a world often confined by conventions. Each set explores the potential of music to transcend ordinary experiences, blending genres and sounds in unexpected ways to uncover new possibilities. It's about transforming the familiar into something extraordinary, inviting listeners into a journey of sonic discovery while expanding the status quo.

4DJS:   Pilot

TEXAS BaLL ‘EM

4DJS:   Pilot (Alt)

My intention for this set was to immerse oneself in a flowing soundscape of groove. Pinching and grabbing elements from different areas of music on a 5-deck setup really gave me the flexibility to accomplish this. Odd elements layered into the mix include disco strings from multitracks, tribal drum loops, flamenco acapellas, and a reversed loop with effects for sonic texture. I hope y’all enjoy :)

FATáL

DEEP VIBēS

Listener, I'm being vulnerable here sharing this play session: It's never dawned on me how much these improvised sessions would be so representative or reflective of my mindset and thought patterns. As of recent I was RūMINTAING on a variety of topics, and this set takes you on that journey through the ups and downs and veering roads. 

Fully immersive yourself with a good pair of headphones, or stereo speakers. And reduce distraction, if possible.

This a ĶrÉaȚ set with Konsent.

RūMINATE

This play session turned out to be rather experimental and enlightening, revealing new workflows and tools to work with.

You can expect a rich and diverse frequency spectrum, featuring industrial vibes with a cunty edge, evolving rhythmic riffs, continuous string-based pedal tones, and atmospheric choir elements.
🛸 Recorded Mar 24'

THIS AINT TēXAS

This set was born from a track Shaun J. Wright dropped on me during Wrecked & Carry 24’: ‘Stupid Things I Do (New School Mix)’ by Randomer. I went all out and milked Derrick Carter’s ‘Where U At’ from the Loop the Sample Renaissance interlude for all it’s worth.

We start with a 15-minute tease before diving headfirst into a wormhole, shutting your body off and taking you on a wild ride.

🛸 Recorded on 24.02.19

MōVE FORWARD, w|POWER!

Embark on this spaceship journey as we venture into the sonic unknown. This mini segment is part of a set I call The Warning (yes, in reference to “The Warning” by Logic), where you experience three distinct adventures; one of which is this ambient IDM soundscape. This set utilizes exaggerated manipulation of pitch modulation, micro loops, and multitracks to weave together records that resonated with me at the time. The best part? The motif synth is from a Madonna track—can you identify it? Now, drop in and buckle up :)

AMBIâNCE

A set that gives Orchestral Clownery Cunt for RaveBreakfast. Just Krack it open and let the retro soundscapes take you along. 

Set is conceptual piece (my take on psychedelic) as I’m still discovering this area. It’s drawing sonic elements from records stemming from eras of  Motown, disco through modern day.  

🛸 Recorded May 24’

WāKE UP

If you grew up loving psychedelic rock or have recently discovered its magic, this set is for you. Dive into a nostalgic journey through the vibrant era of psychedelic rock and live recorded elements, seamlessly blended with today’s modern electronic beats. Like Hannah Montana screamed.. 🎤 you get the beeeest of both worlds

The Ghetto (LIVE SET)

For the full experience: use quality headphones or speakers, find a distraction-free space, and dive in.
—————
TAPE 1: For this play session, I experimented with a minimal hypnotic foundation—a loop designed to let records glide through and take the lead. This session turned into a special tribute to Queen Beyoncé and the BeyHive, enriched with a reversed atmospheric loop from John Rocca’s “I Want It To Be Real,” and, of course, the moody “Bones Moans.”

TAPE002:  Have you ever caught yourself mid-journey, wondering, ‘What am I doing here? What comes next?’ That moment when the path ahead feels blurry but you keep moving, trusting it’ll lead somewhere. That’s the energy in this set—deep, raw, and contemplative.

The journey begins with Contemplation (King Britt Funke Remix), a track I’ve stretched out, letting its mood sink in. The deeper you go, the more experimental it becomes—disconnected sounds that eventually click into place. There’s a lullaby-like sway throughout, with subtle bursts of energy, leading you forward. For those who like to sit with the music, let it take shape. This one’s for you.

4DJS002: Contemplation in Motion

Listener, I’m back so soon. Were you expecting this to come so quickly, so prematurely? Good—’cause I won’t—in this newest set, cooked in my lab-grown, grass-fed set: discovery into the world of Jersey Club…

This set was a pretty cool session, trying to focus only on Jersey Club. Notably, this was my first take mixing with this rhythm—my initial love for wanting to play around was the dreamy qualities I observed. Of course, as you should know already, it’s a chopped, seasoned, stretched, bending,  mixed version…

With that said, 🥸

4DJS010:  Chords. Bounce. Jersey. Club.

Listener.

Got your comfy shoes and a loose grip on reality? Perfect.. because A Kautious Score isn’t an easy trip to hop hop hop; it’s that glorious nowhere-walk where streetlights sigh backward, exit signs harmonize, and you’re low-key wondering if the sidewalk just whispered your name.

TAPE021 pivots the 4DJS series toward a style that blurs perception and reality–where dream-logic thrives, where time stretches + recoils, and everyday sounds morph into uncanny threads that tighten the narrative’s emotional grip. Where nostalgia sidles up and tickles the back of your neck–but never lets you scratch.

What’s sneaking up on you?
 ‣ Debussy’s Arabesques stitched onto every sidewalk you touch
 ‣ Prophet- drone purring like a feral cat under the floorboards
 ‣ Heart Of Glass (Ambient Rework Yougourthen) - Blondie
 ‣ Walk On By (Yougourthen Rework) - Isaac Hayes
 ‣ Pleasure Dome; Morse Code; Funky Swing - Armando

But first: sign the waiver. (Yes, really. Liability’s a vibe.)
💋 Turn the key. Inhale. Exhale. Press play.

Let the score glide you through your limbo.
When you remember to come up for air.. tell me: did the minutes bother following you, or are they still floating face-down behind the ghosts?

4DJS021: A Kautious Score

Listener. It’s time. It’s time. Time..
-
Now that you've stepped out of that Popped-Art Aura—a gentle ambient cocoon—into this new plane we're in. I think you've unlocked the next level. Let's guide you through three-worlds in this CUaNTum universe, all woven into one immersive stomping pilgrimage.

Directions: TAPE014 asks that you buckle your ears, open your heart, and fly. Let the motifs tug at your suballscious; let the fractal arcs spin you in circles. The CUaNTum experience—part beast, part enlightenment—invites you to press play, slip snug in the groove, and find yourself dancing somewhere between dreamscape and reality. Because if you know, you know. And if you don’t, now’s your chance to learn.

Survey Series are table napkin conceptual sets; Short & Grand (maybe.)

Listener, this concept really pushes the boundary between the old and the new.
Considering the rarity of classical music on the floor—bitch, you better have seen that pumpkin pop up. Did you transform into that pretty thing you always knew you were—for Prince Charming? perhaps a tango or a waltz? Maybe both.

4DJS024: SINDERELLA [SV-K024]

Listener, 

Ever heard of double homicide, will this one is not. It’s actually just one, split into two. Ooh, an embryo split into two would make twins?? So as I sit here in my Carrie vibes throwing these words, it now makes me think.. damn maybe it is after all a double homicide. 

TAPE018 is part of a two part dance. Consider it my opening act, to my own very act that comes after this. I know, must be hard to keep up with these words, but you MUST.  

In this ‘opener’ it grooms your mind to close your eyes, inside your mind and feel your body warning you, and the music is calling it. You’ll be falling deep and won’t be able to sleep. It’ll leave you wanting another line by the time it finishes. JUST. In time for the Modular Misdeed.

4DJS018:  Prelude to Misdeed

Listener, 

You caught me. Sometimes I’m just not good enough at covering my steps behind. Double homicide it is, cue the meme. That of course, if you heard the previous tape you’d understand that we are standing on a criminal sonic journey. 

TAPE019 is the one before the twentieth and it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to it. Would I consider it a baby, maybe. Would you consider me your baby? Do you want to pay for my school? I guess we can keep our roles then… me the clown and you the consumer of here this entertainment  honey of TAPE019. 

TAPE019 introduces an hour sonic journey filled with some oomph. Ideally if you were going on a journey this would be somewhere you’d consider lost but hey this is.. yeah. Okay want another bump? type of vibe. It’s rather a special treat for you because for most, you need mama to feed you a spoon at a time and I can’t always do that—instead, I’ll be feeding your ears with a set focused on the modular side of things. With minimal (count two) of productions and a laundry list of multitrack tools, loops and grind. It’s honestly a pretty cool set and I hope that your ears get wet from it. 

Please note that this set is providing an eccentric sound that spans eras and instrumentations… Flip the key and get lost.

Tools: 
✦ Multitracks Instrumentation 

-  Prophet-5 drone: breathes beneath the mix, gluing every other layer together.
-  70s soul Rhodes vamp: Warm gospel-blues phrase that slips in during lulls, grounding the floor in nostalgia before the next climb.
-  Motown piano: Bright, one-bar turnaround used as punctuation
-  Disco horn burst: Three-note brass fanfare that kicks open big drops like a glitter cannon of confidence.
-  Orchestral flute-and-brass: lush symphonic chords that signal the final crescendo, splashing Technicolor across the mind’s eye booboo.
-  New-wave guitar:  Razor-edged, chorus-soaked riff that slices through lush sections with sudden punk attitude.
- Spanish guitar: a ‘rasgueado’ that flares at emotional peaks like a flirtatious smoke ring.
-  Post-disco handclap-conga groove: human swing layered under synth sections, adding earthy warmth to machine precision.

✦ Vocals 

- “Higher” vocal sample: Beyoncé’s single-word cry, stretched in reverb to act as a beacon of lift-off.
- ​​Woo (acapella) by Rihanna 

✦ Loops

-  Early electro drum loop: dry, machine-tight kicks and hats that inject the first surge of kinetic snap, later flipped for a halftime head-fake.
-  Broken-beat techno loop: metallic, syncopated kicks and ghost snares that wobble the pulse and keep dancers on their toes.
-  Minimal synth loop: an eight-step bleep line in feedback, forming a hypnotic eye-of-the-storm before momentum returns.
-  Rubbery 808-bass riff: a slithery two-note glide that restores cheeky swagger after blow-out peaks.

4DJS019:   Modular Misdeed (LIVE SET)

Listener, 

Has it really reached our 20th TAPE? Feels like only yesterday we were crawling out of that big black hole, and now we’ve found ourselves at a moment of divergence, on a new timeline. 

Is it a merging of sonic sparkle into your gaping ear canal—or something more sinister? Something is brewing and only Time Through Love’s Tale will tell in TAPE020.

The sonic journey you’re about to embark consists of a simple yet strong story arc anchored by a phantom companion through out. To start your journey, you’ll be greeted with a moody flash-forward opening, tragic broken hearted vocals of B.B. King with The Thrill is Gone followed by the following productions:

✦ I’m Not In Love / Girl, You’re In Love (Mix-x-x-Tend Version) by Scherrie Payne on @horse-meat-disco 
✦ Tied Up by Yello @yello-official
✦ Dance Of The Snake by Space Drum Meditation @spacedrummeditation

But linger closely… throughout this arc, a voice shall be heard and they won’t go unheard.. you heard?
They are a messenger, neither hero nor bystander. Their presence is merely a reflection of your emotional projection. Just don’t ache when their absence becomes a silence you didn’t expect to mourn for.

I hope this sonic tragedy doesn’t disappoint—especially that little 1,2,3 setlist for a 59-minute set. 
It’s by design. Sometimes the fewer the steps, the deeper the fall.. and the deeper you fall the harder it is to get up and easier to slip on lube. Not the look, boo. If you were wondering, I find that fucking amazing… by.. the way.

With that said, have fun and thank you for joining me on this new sonic road that we are carving out on our new timeline.

4DJS020  ✦  Time Through Love’s Tale

Loosen your shoulders and let the room exhale with you.
Picture a midnight blues bar melting into a chrome runway where a Freak-Out is taking place. 

—————
You might have wondered why mama Giggly puff called em freak-outs. But it all makes sense. Sit...

A “freak-out” is a mid-60s psychedelic happening where the lights, drugs, and grooves dissolve choreography so dancers can sprawl, sway, and spiral any way the music moves them—total free-form liberation on the floor. In mama Giggly Puffs  context it was about control--trying to catch them all. 

Listener, in our context, you're invited on your terms and liberated you are. 

TAPE022, takes you through a LIVE SET exercise journeying and exploring the manipulation of very very verrrry familiar sounds across eras and media application.

Enjoy before our next stop.

4DJS022: Vogue Swaying Freak-Out (LIVE SET)

Fully Immerse: Flip the key, tap play, and let go.

——————
Your inner person crawls through the crevices of the central nervous system to initiate mission impossible. It’s there that it discovers that 1,000 years have passed by in a lull of time enriched in absolute limbo.

TAPE023  we continue on our diverged sonic path which is inherently is walking in the direction of our shared consciousness. A path to what? Was it the same path the previous you took. The days, months and years in a lull of deep DEEP introspection. A path that led to confusion and whole lotta hole. As it rallied around the tip of the head and said release me it found the shattered mirror lifting from the ground by boiling blood and healed itself. 

Listener, Some might call that getting released from the K hole you were in but I promise you, this is a different timeline. A timeline you bounced. A universe you’re entering,  only bound by your own restrictions.
