Based in Brooklyn, “The most athletic DJ” SUPR SPRT has conjured an emotionally charged Cancer mix of Garage and love songs so you can comfortably feel all the feelings as the world reopens.

“I've been rinsing UKG, funky, and 2-step songs with soulful lyrics and mean basslines - hope you enjoy going on this Cancer journey!” - SUPR SPRT

SUPR SPRT currently produces and DJs in Brooklyn- follow him to get updates on new mixes, productions, and collaboration EPs with vocalists and DJs/producers. 

This Gemini season is full of eclipses and Mercury is going retrograde. Lucky for you, Columbus Dj Jenny Arcade has crafted the perfect mix of house and techno to get you through the bumps of the season and to prepare you for getting back on the dance floor when it’s safe for all.

“I want to be open and empathetic to how people are going to feel about events starting to happen. The Gemini in me is ready to be the life of the party again. In due time…. Hopefully, I'll throw some outdoor events this summer at Double Happiness.” - Jenny Arcade

A Gemini who has been Djing for over a decade, combined with her experience as a record buyer/manager and organizing events for Double Happiness has led her to teaching and mentoring others.  In 2018 she organized a Columbus Walking & Falling workshop teaching women and nonbinary people djing. Recently, during the pandemic she became a  Dj mentor for a  teen workshop where she teaches the history of dance music, shares with them music from the founders and teaches them beat matching by ear. 

Get a double Gemini dose of Jenny Arcade this weekend and tune into her radio show Mixed Emotions that airs Saturdays at 10PM on WCRSFM.ORG 92.7/98.3 Columbus. Archives for her show can be found here.

Introducing an all-vinyl Taurus mix from SF DJ, Øbsidian, on today’s full moon in Scorpio.

His mix explores the feelings of our recent dystopian times packed full of Detroit electro, electro tek and deep driving rhythms to move through feelings, embrace change, reconnect and reframe.

“I selected records based on the feelings of change and growth I’ve been working hard for, and experiencing in latest times. I view the sonic choice within it as a meaningful form of expression, which allowed me to feel in touch with deeper parts of myself I had previously felt disconnected from.” -Øbsidian 

Listen to his most recent techno set from Direct To Earth x Currents.fm, for the Common Multiverse event.

Today the Sun, Moon, Mercury & Venus are all in Aries. With so much fire it is an obvious choice to launch Libra Radio Season 2 with an Aries mix from Amadeezy.

A loyal Aries, he has dubbed this mix “Loyal to da underground” a mix comprised of house and electro from up and coming producers who sent him their tracks along the way. Amadeezy shows the love to his supporters first and ends the set with his own remix of Chief Keef’s Citgo. 

For more Amadeezy fire follow his Spotify & bandcamp and grab his latest EP on International Chrome - Eastside G-Ride. 

Introducing Pisces artist Colin Chatfield curated by Aries artist Christina Chatfield for Libra Radio. 

Colin’s production style invokes a go with the flow Pisces retro tech house Y2K vibe. His 20+ years as a professional classical musician gave him a great ear to deliver a refined set, and his sound design takes some unexpected darker turns within an otherwise laid back presentation. 

Colin has recently relocated to the Midwest after living abroad where he worked as Principal Bass in Orquestra Filarmonica de Minas Gerais, Brazil & Section Bass in Orquesta Filarmonica de Jalisco, Mexico.

Introducing Aquarius Emma Vescio, a curator from Pittsburgh who shares their special mix of Aquarian moods and wants you to move quickly, slowly or not at all. They want to share with you what makes them feel excited.

Emma hosts a music show called fantasies on n10.as every 4th Thursday. Since this Aquarius is a curator it’s no surprise that each episode is inspired by a featured visual artist and an image that encompasses their fantasies. Once they have absorbed the feelings from the image of the fantasies they then create the mix. 

“To me, music is my escape and is my fantasy, but it is nice to step inside other individuals’ idea of what it means. Also, since I work as a curator, visuals and organized concepts are extremely important to me.” -EMMA VESCIO

Be sure to check out their upcoming mix for Colin Hagendorf’s Life Harvester; which they highly recommend subscribing to.

This month’s episode of Libra Radio we collaborated with Sagittarius Teep for his weekly radio show sewersounds on WMBR Cambridge, MA 88.1FM.  Sewersounds is the undercurrent of electronix presented via a live-mix moodmat. You can tune into his OTA show tonight, his birthday December 17th 10-11pm EST on WMBR. Check out past shows under the Grit Chamber section of his website.

We spoke with Teep about his process and concept behind sewersounds and what it’s like to be a Sagittarius on the radio.

LR- How does being a Sagittarius relate to your relationship with music and curating music as a DJ? 

TEEP- Sagittarius is a collector of experiences and being ruled by Jupiter, is right at home on a quest for abundance. Week to week I crave new sounds and styles, admittedly to excess. Curation then is a process of finding optimism for songs that I think others will similarly enjoy. True to fire sign form, I want to share my enthusiasm for the music that makes it into my sets. I feel lucky when my instincts are affirmed, but in the end I don’t need that, as Sagittarius are content with being independent. After all, I’m just sharing what I already love.

LR- What was your inspiration for this set / moodmat?

TEEP- I have a vivid memory of an after party, in a basement somewhere in Brighton in the 90s, where the headliner from the night (Onionz) turned up and turned it out. The party was raw, sweaty, and totally jumping. The music was funky but deep and far out. So that’s the mood I tried to rep here. 100% underground after hours house party. If you were in that basement, you were dancing.

LR- Tell us more about sewersounds. How it all started and your moodmats.

TEEP- First, I need to give props to Unit Moebius who’s track on Interr-Ference HM1201 called “sewer” is certainly a part of the inspiration for sewersounds. The concept is just this, if commercial radio exists above the streets, the turf I’m interested in operating in, is under the manhole cover that is our logo. Or as my WMBR program guide show description  reads "The undercurrent of electronix presented via a live-mix moodmat.” The moodmat concept was from the mind of Dan Sicko, who sought to unchain collections of music from genres that he felt would trap radio into a format. No question he was inspired by the Electrifying Mojo in this idea, to be guided to bring instead, a moodmat. The show in its current 10-11pm Thursday spot, has been on WMBR since May 2019, but earlier sewersounds shows ran from 2011 to 2013 10-Midnight on Thursdays.

Looking for the perfect mix to ease you into the holidays or play during your immediate-household-only Thanksgiving dinner?  Look no further, we have teamed up with friend of Libra Radio, Lee Doerr, a seasoned vinyl digger and collector known for cataloging each and every one of his records into a spreadsheet…So Scorpio!

Spanning genres from Jazz, Electronic Funk, Soul, and Synth Pop his mix feels like you are traveling the world in the past, present and future. 

This Scorpio is determined to find great tracks from every corner of the globe from any decade, melting together a diverse set as if the universe decided it was meant to be.

So join Lee for a laid-back trip in compilation format, featuring sought after vinyl gems like Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Plastic Bamboo 1978  — one of the first 808 recordings— or his final track selection I Feel It Starts Again from Suzanne Menzel’s 1981 obscure Danish Synth Pop album Goodbyes and Beginnings.

Eric Cloutier (Palinoia Records, Berlin) has joined us with two intense mixes for his sign, Scorpio. Intentionally released on his Birthday — also Devil’s Night, his mixes harness the energy of the uncertain and intense Full Blue Moon on October 31st.

Scorpios want to know the secret within a secret and Eric is the quintessential Scorpio.

“I’m massively passionate about my music and what I play and produce, I'm maybe too convicted and persistent in my digging and hunting for unique tunes that others don't know or have, I'm more than secretive…” -Eric Cloutier

Despite Eric's secrecy, he shares his passion with members of his cult… Looking for that obscure track no one has? You can access this Scorpio’s countless hours of selecting and record digging because he has done all the work and unlocked the secret for you with his Shoppin’ the Shelves Series. Find out more on his Patreon and receive a new monthly free track produced by Eric.

We recommend listening on a good set of speakers or headphones so you don’t miss the deep and dark sub bass tones of his Ambient Mix resonating in your mind. Dark and moody with subtle bass drops, his Ambient mix sets up the foundation to prepare you for his Slo-mo Psychedelics mix. It’s a dark hypnotic mental aerobic work out where one may finally unlock the mind with the help of the mysterious Scorpio.
