propulsion

breaking my soundcloud hibernation with a set re-created from memory (rekordbox history) • i played a set at the sultan room in april but i was unable to record it, so i decided to re-create it and add in a few extra tracks • @daisyhex curated the night + made the sticker and flyer for it

leather-ette 1 year anniversary live mix 08-29-2022

i have a running playlist called the "cutting-edge coffee shop" where i dump tracks that work enough in a café setting • ambient enough to allow your mind to flow and wander but distinct enough to jostle you out of those states and ask "hey, who's playing right now?" • not as much real mixing here, but my mindset was to cut some of the fat that would have arose if these tracks fully played out like on a real coffeeshop playlist, and i ended up returning to the sensations of doing a late-night college radio show where only a handful of people listen, but that handful absolutely loves it
