and what about this smooth, deep house-y tune??

💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 5/10/24 between 2-5am💥

We welcome a special guest with sharp ears, refined palette, and no shortage of accolades: Russell E.L Butler is a methodical and diligent student of music, thoughtfully pursuing and evoking concepts through sound as a highly inspired producer, exploratory DJ, and musical archivist (recently having worked on digitizing a large portion of Frankie Knuckle's extensive record collection). Inspired by personal experience and history, Butler sets concepts into motion with intellectually informed but emotionally mediated sounds. Butler is one half of Boyz2Them with Bounce alum and Philadelphia favorite Adab. With releases on labels like Opal Tapes, T4TLUVNRG, Fixed Rhythms, Left Hand Path, and Mister Saturday Night, Butler's production touches on classic house and machine-music-techno, with some slamming queer nonbinary anthems you may very well have heard on our dancefloor.

"An hour long mix dedicated to one of my all time favorite bands, Chrome. Comprising mainly of Helios Creed and the late Damon Edge, Chrome is a group whose music is as murky as their mysterious yet well-documented existence. 

They emerged adjacent to the San Francisco punk scene in the late 70s, although seemingly thrived in their own unique bad vibe vacuum. Quasi-industrial, cyberpunky, and emphatically dystopian, they remain peerless but have been covered by similarly influential bands like Butthole Surfers and sampled by the likes of experimental rapper Saul Williams. Chrome’s distinct sonic palette and striking aesthetic are near and dear to many musicians and artists who strive to create their own language. They released a series of fascinating records for more or less a decade, each one a ...
