VERSION Archives

A low frequency pulse reverberates under the dense canopy.
Overgrown technological remains scattered across the lush landscape.
Derelict fragments woven through the alien trees ~ all emanating sound to the same rhythmic flow.
The waves wash over your body inviting you closer.
Your sensors light up as you approach the source.
~Please re-calibrate monitoring device for full spectrum mind/body transmission~

Michael Kaiser is a DJ and DIY party appreciator native to Los Angeles and based in Pittsburgh.
Equally at home digging through stacks for old gems or soaking up the spectrum of modern electronic music, he is driven by uncovering and highlighting the connective threads running through a diverse range of sounds and rhythms.
He draws from techno, house, dub and the many shades of UK bass music, often venturing outside and in between and playing with an aim of balancing experimentalism with the cultivation of a happy dance floor.

This mix explores intersections between organic and synthetic and the junction of serious and playful.

Truancy Sessions S01 E01: suade (@whoissuade)

Artwork by Kushagra (kushlet on Instagram)

New year, new sounds! Introducing Truancy Sessions, our latest mix series dedicated to elevating the underground music scene. With eight episodes per season, we'll be looking to amplify the voices of emerging DJs and longtime Truants friends, all while collaborating with talented designers and artists. Our mission is to cultivate connections and celebrate people with an ear for music from every corner of the globe, be it people we've seen on our travels to friends we've made at festivals and clubs. For our first season, we'll be collaborating with the exceptional designer Kushagra for all things artwork, and for our debut episode we have a seamless blend of mesmerizing grooves from San Francisco-based suade (@whoissuade) for a transportive musical experience. Here's a glimpse into what suade has in store:

"This mix is a cruise through some records I know I’ll love forever - rolling, percussive, driving, and euphoric sounds. Put it on for a nice drive, a long run, getting ready for a party, or maybe just to hype up your work day. I spend a lot of time in the shapeshifting, hyperactive world of bass-driven music and I have an equal love for timeless grooves, long blends, and dreamy sounds. Sometimes these feel like mutually exclusive worlds as a DJ. The latter is what I’m reaching for these days, in a slow and reflective period of my life, and what I bring to the mix. It consists mainly of records from the mid 90s to early 2000s with some newer releases sprinkled in there. I decided to avoid maximalism and opt for a steady ride through a few key ideas. I’ve been wanting to record something like this for a while, so I’m super grateful and happy to be sharing it here. I hope this hour and twenty four minutes locks you in and is something you can come back to. Enjoy"

We've put the mix as well as a little photo diary and selection of the tracklist up on our wesbite. Access the download and full tracklist (Confirmed, added) over on our Patreon, however leave us a nice comment on the mix and either us or suade will get back to you 🖤 Your support helps cover all our costs, allows us to now pay our guests and allows Truants to continue running as a non-profit and ad-free platform. patreon.com/truants
