uploaded episodes from my residency on @hydefm curating Fluency, a monthly mix series on 2nd Tuesdays on hydefm.com :)

the mix series focuses on highlighting electronic-leaning sounds from Asia and the Asian diaspora, and amplifying artists in those spheres. it's also an outlet for me to share some of my sound palette beyond the club, and spiritually feel connected to a side of the globe i have been estranged from the past few years.

really appreciate Hyde for supporting me in this vision. hope you enjoy ♡

my 90 min mix for Outer Limits SF as part of the No Bounds Fest x  Currents.fm stream on Saturday, November 20th 2021. was an honor to be part of this event on this lineup of extremely talented artists and mind-expanding performances (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡ subfeels did some amazing live-coded visuals with Hydra accompanying my set—video to be uploaded and linked here.

this mix is a voyage through some of my favorite tracks, old and new, influenced by contemporary uk club music. inside you'll find a bpm-spanning selection with elements of breaks, dub, broken beat, dancehall, sludgy techno, and other low-slung frequencies sandwiched between ethereal intermissions and rhythmic lulls. enjoy!

@clubmoniker

After a heavyweight debut, Club Moniker returns with 3 uptempo cuts from Bay Area locals for your dancing and deejaying pleasure.

suade eases us in with ‘Karmapa’, a nimble roller driven by a pulsating low end groove. The interplay of tonal percussion, time manipulated vocals, and a weightless flute lead swirl in a propulsive soundplex. A cut for late-night pondering in the club... (っ- ‸ - ς)

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

🔊 https://youtu.be/citTmXqBOCE

Vief’s next fundraiser compilation, as voted for by the 14 contributors to the release, is raising money for Palestine Solidarity Campaign to aid their work in building public support for an end to atrocities currently taking place in Gaza.

Following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7th October 2023, the disproportionate response by the Israeli armed forces and government has led to (at the time of writing):

• At least 31,923 people killed, of which more than 13,000 are children (Al Jazeera)
• The destruction or damage of more than half of Gaza’s homes (360,000 residential units) (Al Jazeera).
• ‘Catastrophic’ levels of hunger for more than 1 million people and an ‘imminent’ famine in northern Gaza (the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification).

On 26th January 2024, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take “immediate and effective measures” to protect Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip from the risk of genocide by ensuring sufficient humanitarian assistance and enabling basic services. Amnesty International and Oxfam have accused Israel of defying this ruling.

“Israeli authorities are not only failing to facilitate the international aid effort but are actively hindering it. We believe that Israel is failing to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide.”

Sally Abi Khalil, Oxfam Middle East and North Africa Director. Oxfam.

It has been heartening to see the volume of fundraisers in the dance music world for this cause, and we all really hope you like the tracks in this release. Any support will be very much appreciated!

suade @ club moniker, ugsf | may 24, 2024

The return of our MONIKER series is here, featuring an expanded roster of West Coast artists making waves in the shifting tectonics of bass-driven club music.

Playful chops, syncopated narratives, and innovative low-end sound design tessellate throughout this collection of percussive workouts. From Maude Vôs' elastic, high pressure rhythms to Baalti's weighty stepper, each track is stamped with a unique approach to fusing elements of UK club music with contemporary sound design.

Also on deck is Ommaya Records’ noRecall with a kinetic weapon that’s sure to rattle dancefloors, along with two of Club Moniker’s very own: llloyd and suade, each bringing their brand of cutting-edge sonics from the Bay Area.

PREMIERE: Suade - Deep Blue [club moniker]

Various Artists - Undercurrents Vol 2

We are proud to present @whoissuade Lion Dance, taken from ‘Undercurrents’, the third series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program.

Started in 2020, the Mentoring Program run by label owner Martyn has become a worldwide online and IRL community of artists sharing resources, ideas and inspiration. This compilation showcases the wide range of fresh and amazing music that is continuously surfacing from the program, unbound by strict genre definitions.

Besides a collection of new music, Undercurrents is also a consideration of what a record label can be in 2024. Whether it’s a platform for repurposing old material, providing daylight for new sounds, artists or even entire communities, or injecting new ideas about authenticity and sustainability into the current of the underground, rather than partaking in the unwinnable race over algorithm dominance. An understated approach for maximum impact.

“Undercurrents Vol 2” features the talents of Noise Casino, suade, Young Muscle, DR MYSTERY, A7K8, Lady Tracy, Elias Jarzombek, Pressing, R. Mohr, Joe Taylor and 3ASIC & Chuan.
