Headlong Into The Tempest

the past few years have been pretty heavy, and that doesn’t look like it’s gonna change anytime soon, so as i finish my 50th orbit around our closest star i choose to go Headlong Into The Tempest. attempting to weather this storm with my chin up, a stupid grin on my face, dancing all the way. doing the best i can and hopefully helping a few folks endure and embrace the absurdity of the chaos. starting with this mix of new electronic sound from 2022.

Ampulex Dementor

a swarm of techno buzzin’ around your brainbox while you wig out in the middle of a filthy warehouse space at 10 in the morning. you’re covered with the grime of a whole night of intense partying and are finely attuned to the hive. it’s the beat that connects, and the beat don’t stop. so you don’t stop.

luv397 Well That was Fucked Up

well that was fucked up

“well that was fucked up” sums up 2020 pretty well. things felt uneasy at the end of 2019, like the cracks in the bottom of the basin were getting bigger and bigger, and things were getting heavier and heavier. something was about to give. that’s why i titled the first mixtape of last year Hold On because it felt like 2020 was gonna be a rough ride. as i started putting together 2021’s inaugural mix i intentionally chose only new music from 2020 and unintentionally created a mix that represented the crazy year that was. well that was fucked up is designed to help exorcise our collective ill feelings from 2020 by grooving them out of our system. clearing our minds and souls to help us better tackle the challenges that lay ahead. may it help you power the future.

Showing You The Cracks

techno is a pure dance music designed to take the cacophony of everyday chaos and organize it in just the right manner as to make a dancefloor erupt with timeless uncontrollable grooves. as serious rhythms free flow from the speakers we are witness to the breaking apart of all that we know. the cracks can no longer be hidden.

Unnatural Mystic

for a brief moment the fabric of time and space folded in on itself creating an inter-dimensional vortex. it was at that instance the Unnatural Mystic appeared above us, hovering motionless in the sky. as it set it’s gaze upon us we slowly drifted upwards, lifted on layers of rhythms and sounds from the future past. entranced by the journey. lost in space.
