Even though it feels like yesterday, it’s already been a year since I released my last mix on SoundCloud. So without further ado, here’s a headphone-friendly new mix of hip-hop, phonk, bass, trap, and more. Thirty eight tracks in fifty one minutes. Been waking up to this one every morning and treating it like a coffee alternative. I hope you find something you enjoy.

Purple Birds Mix [hip-hop / phonk / lofi]

In this dynamic follow-up to their 'Do You Even Acid?' compilation launched in 2020, queer-led Pacific Northwest label OBSKUR serves up a high-powered sampler of acid-laced tracks that embody the diversity of 2024's underground scene.

It kicks off with Seattle-based DJ/producer Mirin Doja's 'Golden,' remixed by LA dynamo Maude Vôs, a dreamy, downtempo bass-heavy vibe with crystalline trance elements. AWood's energetic 'Orbit' squeezes together a pulsing beat and hyperactive bassline with glowy synth pads, while 'Rave Therapy' by Delusional Records co-founder Marie Nyx cures what ails with classic four to the floor united with high-energy rave synths. Hammering kicks and trippy basslines pervade LA's CRTR's psytrance-infused workout 'Back Up,' followed by 'Eat That' by Chicago founder and co-head of Dark Heaven, Vorp, which takes us on a shadowy, complex acid journey dripping with bass and breaks.

Next up is Calgary DJ Byron Ferrari's 'Sunnyslope,' moody, raw and melodic with an irresistible 303 groove. International powerhouse Ani Klang's collaboration with NYC creative Senaida on 'Mutual Destruction' is a take-no-prisoners banger full of breakneck hard edged acid. The collection closes with Sanctum's introspective 'The Craft,' which pulls together a driving hypnotic bass groove and subtle psychedelic atmospheres.

'Do You Even Acid?' Volume 2 is an uplifting and electrifying compilation of dancefloor heaters from OBSKUR's worldwide network of women, queer*, and POC artists.

I'M A G (BUT YOU NO DISS)

i had a chat with claude today about whether or not i should release this. ultimately claude helped me realize that by fearing dropping music that is "sub par", i prevent my audience from being able to experience joy from something that i made, and i also prevent

i've decided that i am going to start dropping things on soundcloud as i finish them and then they'll come out 4 weeks later on all other platforms. so if you are listening here, you are a real one :) i appreciate you.

out feb 8 on all other platforms.

Der Haken, meaning “the catch” in German, is the sequel to our first compilation la chasse (“the hunt” in French). It’s about seizing moments of inspiration and dancing with the push and pull of creativity. Capturing the tension between surrender and control, release and reflection, it embodies the complex heartbeat of both music and the creative spirit.

A wild fusion of styles from the electronic realm, Der Haken takes us on a juicy, club-ready trip designed to heat up dancefloors near and far.
