Live recording of Spiral Generator (30000AD and Apt Complex) playing for Spice Jams on particle.fm

Spice Jams Vol. 8 feat. Spiral Generator

Happy all saints' day 

Here's the 2nd half of my set at the Halloween edition of Funkstick. 

In harmony with the season, it's a set that meets the expectation of Funkstick as a cruisy, queer disco party, but also tries to subvert it with the addition of ebm, new beat, industrial selections and just chaotic hi-nrg, electro, and sappy goth synth-pop.

This was also my first big pure vinyl set out and I think I perfectly understand why vinyl is the preferred medium to mix in. I felt empowered, in control, and spiritualized completely. 

Hope you enjoy and blessings to y'all.

YGF's Funk-a-ween mix [Funkstick 10-27] (part 2)

Played a  slow slambient darkroom set at Noxeema Jackson in dc this January during Mid Atlantic Leather. Its the sound I've always wanted in a darkroom (chuggy, not quite danceable, a bit broken).

Neptunian Influence, Seventy-Three | Featuring @user-467969346

Interesting Results hails not from Rotterdam but that other place below sea level: New Orleans. As a lifelong lover of electro (and discordant noises in general) this playlist was thoughtfully curated from some of her favorite songs lately. She spent her teenage years exchanging mix tapes and CDs with friends and has been DJing on and off for over two decades starting with her local college radio station KLSU-FM where she co-hosted an electronic and experimental music show called the Kitchen Sink for three years. Her transition from vinyl to digital occurred only more recently though she has no plans to part with her record collection! While she is a high school teacher by day and a selector at heart, it is her love of dancing that most influenced her shift to DJing in club environments and the dancefloor is often where you’ll find her. Even still, she’s constantly scouring everywhere and anywhere for new tracks with the same fervor that a research scientist devotes time to their own field of study. While the electronic music scene in New Orleans might be small, it is quite special and steadily growing; here’s to hoping this mix might catch the attention of some of her favorite acts and help to bring them here! Please enjoy her sleep paralysis demon mix.

On Patrol w/ Security Dog - Sep 10th 2025

In the words of Scott Zacharias, who closed the Outer Space Room at No Way Back, May 25, 2025, Day 2 of Return to the Source at Tangent, Detroit:

“NWB, being more than just the sum of its parts, always reflects my current life state(or lack of) and this year was no different. My friend Zach reminded me of this ultra-special cut by Arthur Russell: “In the Light of the Miracle.” It’s one of those holy grails and this mix (by Danny Krivit & Tony Smith) only existed as unreleased Talking’ Loud promo until a Soul Jazz comp finally issued it properly in 2005. I used to run it occasionally some 20 years ago, but hearing it again left me shook and set the stage for my entire set. And the rest of my life. My partner Ellen and I learned we were pregnant that same weekend.

Completely overwhelmed, I felt like I just wanted to share music for folks like I do in my own living room. Not really as a mix, but an intimate family affair. In the wee hours of the morning when I finally decided to share Russell’s opus, Ellen joined me on stage. We embraced and cried as we saw all our friends dancing in a now sunlit room. 

“I love you and that's all, living in the light.” — Arthur Russell”

Quick update — Life’s been life-ing, but I thought it might be fun to figure out whatever the hell I was doing last No Way Back. There have been a lot of ID requests so let’s get into it. Big thanks to IT, Jim Gibbons for mastering this mix, and all of the wonderful artists featured. Music is love and love is the message — SZ
