ASIP (Live DJ set) Dance Spirit Gallery Experience / World of Light

 
Screen Shot 2019-10-07 at 11.54.10 AM.png

The scene - a Los Angeles warehouse, adorned with light sculptures and 50ft wall projections as the downtown skyline sinks from day-to-night. Naturally, it called for some Blade Runner inspired sounds.

Live recording from The World Of Light Museum, Los Angeles, where Dance Spirit curated a massive Gallery Experience in August 2019 featuring 50ft wall projections and art exhibits by Purdy Lites + more.

My set came after a beautiful opening modular set by Constant Shapes and was followed by Dance Spirit Live, Philip Jung (formerly of M.A.N.D.Y) and Concret.

Thank you to Dance Spirit and the Space Cadet crew for having me. To stay up to date on events by Dance Spirit related to the Space Cadet magazine, follow the Facebook page here or mailing list.

Tracklist is withheld for now as the set contains some ASIP unreleased works.

 

ASIP - Cathedrals

 
 

This mix was inspired by my recent trip to Kauai, and the dramatic Napali Coastline.  As you leave the lush-green tropics by air, you descend into the Waimea Canyon, before hitting the coastline and witnessing these angular cliffs that rise 4000ft above the Pacific Ocean.

Flying over these monumental land-forms, was a truly unforgettable experience.

The mix features old and new music, and includes a sneak-preview of a track from the next ASIP release by Arovane and Hior Chronik (listen to two tracks from the album in our interview with Arovane and Hior here)

ASIP - Gestalt

 
 

There’s been some amazing techno coming out recently, and luckily I have another gig lined up in Portland where I get to showcase some of it on a big loud system. Here’s a preview mix in lead up to the Gestalt night on August 26th where i’ll play alongside some of Portland’s finest hardware house/techno musicians including Acid Farm (Live), JAK (DJ), Asss (Live) and Minigorille (Live Parametric Visual Synthesis).

I wanted to highlight a few of the tracks in this mix as they belong within some amazing EPs/albums that have just been released. Check out both the Tozzy and the tdel albums on Bandcamp below – amazing deep techno. A big thanks to Pete Srdic – my very own bandcamp A&R! And of course, the more recent Yuka album on Silent Season is a monster of organic techno.

If you live in or near Portland be sure to come see the night on August 26th at Holocene.
