Kakistrophic

what happens when a kakistocracy, essentially a plutocracy of oligarchs, runs a kleptocracy?
i think we’re about find out.
what was it grandma used to say?
“the lunatics have taken over the asylum.”
so keep your eyes open kids,
they’re gonna try and pull some fast ones on us.
we gotta out smart ‘em.
here’s a mixtape of music from 2024 to help us stay alert in 2025,
‘cos we know it’s got to change.

The Caged Raver

this is a mixtape of new electronic music obtained in the last year, the majority of it presumably made under the shadow of the pandemic. after almost 2 years of varying stages of lockdowns, isolations, curfews, semi-freedoms and false hopes this is what it sounds like inside the mind of the caged raver. 2022 : it’s not about me, it’s about us.

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.

Society Is Breaking Down

amidst the heaviness of the global pandemic we have been living through i decided this mixtape was gonna be full of fun and ravey breaks both new and old to help shake the dust off everybody. of course i recorded this 2 days before the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police. we are now witness to societal collapse on a scale not seen in our lifetime and this new backdrop makes me see this mix in a different light. now it’s a soundtrack to the breaking down of the systems of oppression to make way for the building of a more just future for everyone. Black Lives Matter.
