our first mix comes from othrwrld, a trans femme nonbinary dj/producer based in Portland OR using her alchemy of sound and atmosphere to open portals into new utopian possibilities for collective healing, release, and peace.  

othrwrld's mix, meant to showcase a range of genres and sounds to be encountered at Club Liminal, opens with murky swirling relaxed rhythms, eventually dissolving into a long spellbinding climb through hypno techno towards spacious, speedy, pumping trance, finally landing back in the arms of soft pads.  

her latest ep "receive, return, repose" is out now on OBSKUR MUSIC https://obskurmusic.bandcamp.com/album/receive-return-repose

SHANTI CELESTE w/ Surrealita 091123

Bad Behavior is a Brazilian-American speaker-freaker turned DJ based in the swamps of New Orleans by way of Washington DC. Lover of all sounds, Bad Behavior’s selections gravitate toward the deep and psychedelic intersections of Midwestern techno, UK bass, extraterrestrial electro and IDM. Bad Behavior has found a home within the late night crowds of the Crescent City as a resident and co-founder of Lizard People of New Orleans - a party where the sonic palette centers around the unhinged, leftfield, squelchy and dubby sounds for the nocturnal freaks.

This live mix from Bad Behavior was plucked straight from 3am-5am on March 29 at Poor Boys Bar for our monthly Gimme A Reason party. He slapped us all upside the head with his highly creative and skilled use of the CDJs and mixer as instruments to bend tempo and genre into a perfectly wild and varied, yet incredibly tasteful and seamless mix of dance music from across the spectrum. It is a treat to host this mix as a debut to our new series of releases of live recordings from the party. An archive of the magical artifacts that are produced in the nightclub.

GEMS with Rose Kourts invites John Xie: Kyanite @ The Lot Radio 05-08-2024

I can't remember the exact first time I met Squidbrain--it was pre pandemic 2010s in Philly so I was wilin'--but I do distinctly remember a great time hanging out at a pier party rave on Columbus Blvd in Philadelphia and loved his vibe. We stayed in touch over the years. I particularly loved his knack for digging for quality but obscure music and quirky sense of humor.

It took until 2023 when I visited him in Berlin, Germany, his residence for a while now, did we really get to kick it for a while. Wearing a bucket hat at a bougy Berlin bistro, it was great to see he still kept the Philly funk in Berlin. We caught up on old times...I learned some unique things about being a Berlin resident and that he's still staying creative with music. It's always refreshing to hang out with a long time club friend in the daytime.

To my surprise, he had been keeping up with the Ancient Puzzle Arts podcast abroad and wanted to contribute a mix. Of course I agreed, not knowing what to expect. In typical form, Squidbrain provided a very unique selection of global underground dance music where the entire mix is comprised of people he personally knows. The mix is quite eclectic but somehow sounds cohesive and very modern. It's cool to hear Squidbrain is staying connected and supportive of his talented friends and able to bring a global perspective to the mix series.

Please enjoy Squidbrain's all homies mix! Dig into the track listing because these are some very rare finds.
