DJing has crossed paths with my experiences in voice-hearing and being a targeted individual. It's still unclear who exactly pulls the strings, but my community is connected to it.

Anyways, here's a playlist of just mixes about the romantic dimensions of the Voices:

I think it's super pointless to paywall callout posts, and I burned my free Substack viewing privileges on it, but Annabel Ross called out Theo Parrish, Avalon Emerson, Tiga, and Underworld as scabs in her Politics of Dancing Substack. So, naming names, which is distinct from Shawn's approach.

Nemeth Home Deliveries, ep. 2: Sarvesh Ramprakash Sarvesh Ramprakash (aka Icarus Redux) takes the reins for episode two of the Nemeth Home Deliveries: Soundscapes series. In this mix, the Minneapolis-based DJ contemplates the dramatic, grounding, and

I will have to grab the download - Soundcloud ripped it ages ago to close this mix:

Much love to you for producing it!

A black and white line drawing schematic of the the Roland TB303 circuit board. It show the wired connections between components as many parallel lines. Chips are shown as rectangles and while other components are less distinct.

A large scale looking map with the title "Welcome to Teabeigh Freeofry" in gently curved text at the top. Light blue sea can be seen on the right edge of the map extending around the top-right corner. The main land area shown in pale brown has two larger green areas to the centre and left with a pale blue river circuiting the largest one in the centre. The green areas are labelled "The Cutoff", "Resonance Hill", "Filter Beds" and "Phuture Grove". Roads across the whole map are in white and buildings in brown. There is a prominent vertical row of buildings to the right of centre labelled "Manchester Mills". Other labelled buildings include "Warehouse District" between three large buildings to the right, "Acid House" to the top-right, "Roland House" and "The Loft" to the bottom.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 27: Micromapping

Not much time today so had to rush this one...

I took Micromapping literally and created a map of Teabeigh Freeowfry, based on the Roland TB303 circuit board.

Hard agree. I posted about it on Twitter on my burner earlier but I think the key in the nebulous idea of "storytelling" (which is the most overused + undeserving term to describe DJs/DJing) is treating DJing as prose. I think of DJing-as-prose in the same way some think of video games as art.

I feel like they wouldn't be doing the same sociopolitical things! There's no consensus political views in dance music, even PLUR has migrated to EDMworld.

DJ sets reveal a lot more about their DJs than I think they realize.

If your socio-political views don't suffuse into your work, what are we even doing here? Pretty but ultimately neutered sonic art? Just plain escapism?
