From the Internet, to in person, back to the Internet! That's the story of this month's guest...Baltimore via Philly's Scott Kelly, aka DJ Kel. I was first introduced to Scott when he became a recent online supporter of the APA podcast series. He liked and shared some mixes and content, and it looked like we had some cool, funky mutual friends, so I took note this is a good person to meet at some point.

Fast forward to this past summer in 2023, Scott drove up from Baltimore to attend APA regular Dan Edwards' annual summer party, Sonic Garden at Glendinning Rock Garden. It took me a minute to put a face and person to the recent APA supporter, but fortunately Scott introduced himself at Sonic Garden and we got to chatting. Though he lives in Baltimore now, I did not realize his long standing connection with Philly DJ culture, specifically doing a long time radio show series on WKDU. I'm a huge fan of WKDU, so it was cool to meet another member of the WKDU family. I'm also a big fan of Baltimore, and it was great to hear he is immersed in the thriving Baltimore DJ culture as well.

For this month's mix, Scott delivers a polished and concise tribute to West Coast DJ culture. If you want to do a deep dive into this educational history lesson, be sure to take a look at the track list he provided. This historical tribute to the West Coast is a progressive, eclectic and trippy journey of all things House, Techno and assorted from the other side of Route 66. Expect modulation, long blends, peaks and valleys.

Get into the groove and dive into Scott Kelly's mix for February!

Voices Episode 22 w / Tris & Twisted Festival [Spa Day Guest Mix]

"The Beatles blew my mind." The LA artist talks about her new album—Something in the Room She Moves—writing music while pregnant and how she works in the studio.

The LA-based composer and musician Julia Holter has garnered a reputation for releases that toe the hazy edge of shoegaze and dream pop, always skirting the contours of the electronic music world. 

On today's RA Exchange, she takes a deep dive into her sixth studio album, Something in the Room She Moves, with music editor Andrew Ryce. Holter talks about writing all but one of the songs while she was pregnant ("Evening Mood" even captures a sample of her child's ultrasound, recorded from her phone), which lends the album a warmth and tenderness unparalleled in any of her past releases. But it's also a somber record; her nephew died while she was recording it, an event that forced her to process the complexity and gravity of two conflicting, converging experiences while composing. 

For the technically inclined, Holter also discusses how she works in the studio and manages post-production. As the artist tells Ryce, she likes to play with resonant frequencies and processing that puts each of the sounds she records into the same sonic world on a record, using effects and composition tricks to give everything what she calls a "sensuous vibe." Something in the Room She Moves is out now on Domino Records. Listen to the episode in full.
