Enter the mythology of NYC artist James K - her sound, equally organic and electronic, is a combination of odd dreams, hybridizing enchanted samples, ripped, broken and morphed rhythms, and vocals, both incomprehensible and appealing.

“You head down from the installation into the glacier, breath fogging the air. You hear echoes of splintering icicles reverb back to you from under a frozen lake. Deep unseen movements in the dark vibrate the walls as you go deeper into the ice. Underneath the loudspeakers of the installation above, you hear whispers and distant murmurs below.

You follow the whispers, turn to page 56.
You go back to the installation, turn to page 89.”

Distant Signals 081: shopping

"It is not easy to find Saphira, and it is even harder to leave. Saphira is caught between a low-lying sun to the west and a glowing moon to the east, Saphira’s longing grows dense and time thickens within its walls. Perhaps this is why Saphira’s radios and televisions stutter with phrases and images so ghostly yet so intimately familiar, why its dusty buildings seem always to crumble so gloriously yet never collapse. It is a city inside of want and outside of time."

Invisible Cities w/ CCL - Saphira 300725

this mix is named after by my favorite collection of poems by louise gluck, a copy of which was gifted to me by my poetry mentor who guided me in my early years writing. The title refers to an early collection of Dante, detailing his love for his eternal muse, Beatrice. In italian, “Vita nova” means new life. 

a few weeks ago my copy of Vita Nova was lost in a electrical fire in my bedroom along many of my most treasured items, books, and letters  - these things i have taken with me through every move, no matter how temporary. yet, as i searched through the rubble, i found that a couple of my most delicate things survived. i feel there must be some symbolism to this. 

since then, i’ve been reflecting on the bittersweetness of renewal and regeneration, of creating space to mourn what was lost - and of finding beauty in the knowledge that each of these material things are connected to individuals and experiences i treasure. 

this mix is filled with tracks i adore, many of which i have been coming back to over the last couple years, or have been shown to me by people i love. it is a live recording from when i played after the brilliant Sybil @syberkid in montreal this past winter. It’s a little rough around the edges — but as always, comes straight from the heart.

For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.

Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."

For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to think differently. "I felt this 1000th podcast should reflect the moment in which it was made," she told us in her Q&A.

And what is this moment? Every day since Israel's 2023 assault on Gaza began, an average of 28 children have been killed. That's an entire classroom, every day, for over 600 days (at the time of writing). It's a staggering figure that only captures a fragment of the listless cruelty imposed on the strip.

Faced with such a genocide, what can music really do? How political can it truly be?  For their RA.1000, Thaemlitz gives us an unflinching rebuke to the idea that music should provide escapism. The mix weaves ambient fragments and jazz passages, woven around samples from Israeli media and the voices of outspoken Jewish critics like Gabor Maté and Norman Finkelstein. 

The result is not just a protest, but a document of our time. For Terre Thaemlitz, music is never just music. Her RA.1000 serves as a reminder that in an age of relentless suffering, the most political act is to reject the illusion of escape, and search for something greater.
