About the Mix:
“With a constant focus of drums, this mix nimbly navigates between genres while always staying jazzy and smooth with a hint of complexity” - DJ Economy


About our Resident:
Hailing from Baltimore, but residing in LA for over 10 years is Body Tools co-founder DJ Economy. As both a producer and DJ, he explores a range of styles while always channeling an ear for percussion and jazzy gritty grooves with the off kilter sounds of IDM, Jungle, and Deep House.

About The Listening Series:
The Listening Series Editions of Body Tools Sessions are dedicated to deep listening presented on system and played for an intimate crowd on a set of vintage DCM Time Window 3 Hi-Fi Speakers in our cozy living room in Highland Park, Los Angeles. These events are powered by DCM Historian, who is dedicated to persevering the speakers of the now defunct DCM brand for generations to come. This second edition also serves as a soft launch for our forthcoming Timescape Sound system which brings this concept to a level suitable for small venues using all A/B Class amplification preserving an analog signal path.

Each episode features a mix by a Body Tools resident on the first hour and a half, and then a special guest mix is featured on the second hour and a half.

Body Tools Sessions: 020 - Listening Series - w/ Guest: Naygod - Live on VPN Radio (04/05/25)

About the Mix:
“Naygod drifts through the left-field corners of their crates in this smooth vinyl-digital hybrid set. Blending ambient haze, off-kilter rhythms, and genreless selections, the mix blurs the line between body and dream. Artists like Fred P, Gifted and Blessed, and Larry Heard ground the journey in depth and soul.” - Naygod


About our Guest:
NAYGOD (Nay) is a transdisciplinary artist, DJ, producer, and scientist. Drawing from their Chicago roots and multi-year stints on both the East and West Coasts, Nay’s genre-expansive sets serve as sonic explorations of their personal life and the genealogy of Black music, emphasizing the interconnectedness of sounds that emerge from this experience. Complementary to DJing, Nay is committed to creating safe spaces that center Black, trans, and queer joy. Nay co-produces the party series, SuperNatural--an event which celebrates Black queer house and club culture, and hosts a monthly radio show, Soular Power, at KCHUNG.

Body Tools Presents: Jaymie Silk - Techno Mix from Paris (VPN Radio - 04/16/25)

About The Mix:
“Just a mix for your body and mind...” - Jaymie Silk

About Our Guest:
Jaymie Silk doesn’t make straight up-and-down techno or house music.
The Paris-based producer and DJ draws from a range of influences informed by his Afro-European heritage, his teen years as a rap producer and a subsequent move to Montreal, where he fell into the city’s ballroom scene.

The result is truly original music that’s as richly varied as his path. Whether he’s incorporating African rhythms into house and techno arrangements, turning out fierce club edits of pop tracks, or serving sexually and/or politically charged bangers, the results are always unpredictable but never less than compelling.

Having released on labels such as !K7, Nervous Records and Sous Music, and played at venues and parties including Cabaret Sauvage, T7, He.She.They and Piknic Électronik, Silk’s DJ sets are as thrilling and memorable as his productions; the work of an renegade groove master.

About the Show:
Body Tools Presents is a broadcast that happens on the Third Wednesday of every month starting at 7pm PST on VPN Radio. Each episode features a pre-recorded mix by a friend of the label somewhere in the world introduced by label co-founder DJ Economy. All mixes from Body Tools Presents are uploaded to our SoundCloud & YouTube the following day after the broadcast.
