Jek (@earthdogbk) rolls in with a lightning storm hour full of a little tech and a little house. Metallic, warm and hazy equilibrium. A superreal, kaleidoscopic slice of life.

NYC legend - DJ G ( @dj-ggggg ) takes over earth doggo this week with a piping hot hour of murky basslines, foggy pads, and minimal steeze.. peak time morning style

Questions for the dog:

--What's the best dance track of all time? 

The Cool Notes - My Tune.
 
--Best party in recent memory?

Nonstop at the end of January. I got there on Sunday at 9am and expected a very chill one because of the snow storm that weekend but the heads were out in force and the atmosphere and the music was incredible throughout the day.

--Peak time style or Early morning style?

The style when early morning is peak time : )

--Where do you think contemporary dance music is heading? What's the next wave? Any labels pushing a sound your attracted to at the moment?

I think that coming out of the pandemic there's a renewed sense of importance being placed on this culture and on real life human connections. This will only boost the interest in both underground and mainstream experiences centered around dance music and deepen its significance for people already participating. I’m very optimistic about what’s to come and I think the future will make fertile grounds for a lot of fun and more experimentation that help to grow what’s already in bloom.

I also see a refocusing on the roots of this culture underway and lot of conversations happening around how to honor the people of color and the queer communities that are responsible for sowing the seeds that have given life to this thing that brings so many people so much joy. I’m excited by the prospect of newly imagined spaces being led by these groups that will foster new movements and ideas to push everything forward. That’s the next wave, I think. 

Additionally, as technology develops I think we’ll see more attempts to push the experience of listening to dance music further into the digital world and I’m confident that in the not too distant future lots of virtual clubs will exist where people will put on a VR headset in their homes and pretend they’re raving. These things are probably already out there but I think in five to ten years we'll see a lot more. If another deadly virus emerges and we’re not able to get it together irl again then I guess I’m down with the tech if it helps keep the culture going. But as immersive as this stuff has the potential to be, it definitely won't match the feeling of being in a room full of mad-for-it ravers lost in the vibe and feeding off one another’s energy. Despite the best efforts of the Silicon Valley types who think they’ve got the read on what’s happening, there won’t ever be an app for that. The mainstream brands and promoters will probably embrace this and I think the underground will be unified in calling bullshit on it. So it'll be win, win.

And on labels that are delivering the goods, there's an overwhelming amount of people absolutely crushing it but I think what the Incienso fam are doing is right up there with some of the best in the world in terms of releasing a range of high quality and sonically diverse music.

--This mix is insane - what inspired you?

Thank you! I was mainly just trying to do something that I thought Earth Dog would be down with so you were def the guiding light. But in the back of my mind when I was choosing tracks I was thinking about the tripped-out, sultry sounds that I heard Luciano and Villalobos play in between CO2 blasts at Space in Miami one Friday afternoon back in December. Thanks for the opportunity to put it together : )

Earth Dog Radio 015: DJ G

@hitfactoryrecs is @djwawabk, @claywilson, and their musical orbit of friends and collaborators. Their regular mixes and releases stand as a foil to perfectionism, commodification, and the music industry PR machine — two relative veterans of the music community reclaiming DJing and production on their own terms.

"This mix was recorded at the Hit Factory with nothing but vibes in mind. This ain’t a mix to prove that we’re good or know how to beat match or anything like that. Just years and years of listening to music with the hope of gaining a deeper understanding of it along with ourselves. Let the feelings take over when you hear the music not the thoughts."

It's time to pass the decks to AV curator and DJ Boo Lean (Lauren Goshinski) who's always full of surprises and channels the energy of a recent storm in podcast number 110. It's a wild ride that goes straight in for the kill with tracks from Silence Groove and a Phantasy & Aphorite remix. Keeping that energy alive and pumping throughout the mix, Boo Lean uses this opportunity to rinse tracks that she hasn't put into mixes yet. Proving no storm is too strong for Boo Lean as she effortlessly weaves through the records in one take, thriving in amongst the chaos. In her own words, she describes the mix as "spring cleaning my mind, body, n’ soul. Deep Swifferin’ Mode." We certainly feel revitalised after this cleanse!

down2earth (DJ’J & Dreemseed) @ The Lot Radio 04 - 16 - 2022

This recipe is a recreation of a family friend's pancakes that I haven't had since I was a child. They were thinner than normal pancakes, had crunchy edges, and were more savory than sweet! I spent most of my teens and 20s ordering pancakes at restaurants and they were always a disappointment compared to my memory of those pancakes. The memory of those pancakes, the family I ate them with, and that time of my life is pressed firmly into my memory. Over the last couple years, whenever I made a big weekend breakfast, I was always chasing this memory and that's what inspired this mix. The feelings of nostalgia & melancholy, slow weekends, and chasing the impressions of a single meal from over 20 years ago. 

These pancakes are the antithesis of the giant stack of fluffy, cakey, pancakes that most restaurants serve. The batter(and the pancakes) should be a little thinner than normal and cooked in butter for a crunchy, buttery edge. If you're going to eat these with syrup, you have to use the cheap shit. No real maple syrup ;)

Ingredients 

1 C flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp butter, melted 
1 Cup + 2 tbsp buttermilk
1 egg, beaten

Method

1. Combine Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Salt and Sugar
2. Whisk in melted butter, buttermilk and beaten egg
3. Mix everything together but just barely! It should still be a little bit lumpy
4. Preheat a pan or skillet to a medium heat and add some butter. Embrace the butter
5. Make a test pancake! This is a good point to adjust the batter by adding a bit of milk/water or flour if it needs to be thicker or thinner. We're not aiming for crepe thin but we do want it to be a little thinner than the average pancake. 
6 Make the rest of the pancakes. Ideally straight out of the pan
