PITSCAST : DETROIT

Not many in the Detroit electronic scene need an introduction to our featured guest for this mix, Jo Rad Silver (@joradsilver). Recorded after Yom Kippur services of 2021 on an empty stomach with two turntables and an old 2 band eq Rane mixer.

Somehow soft and fast while being hard and slow. Though not exclusively a Detroit mix, his heart and ass are deeply indebted to Detroit music so even the records that are not from Detroit feel like they are! Last month he brought back his live PA monthly, Technically, Yeah. to a new venue at UFO Factory. Though still tenuous, he is excited to get back to loud music in person!

We are happy to welcome JEM (@jem4u) to our PITSACST series!

She's the founder of Every Woman Music (@everywomanmusic), a Detroit-based initiative aimed at connecting women in the electronic music scene and helping them gain more experience, exposure and inclusion. Her passion is evident in this project, recently hosting a series of live streams to raise funds for a variety of charitable organizations while also using her platform to support femme artists trying to get a foothold in the music world.

As exemplified in this burning hot mix, her style tends to gravitate towards electro, breaks, and 90s rave material.She draws her inspiration from outer space, the jungle, the color blue, and late nights lurking in the depths of a dark after hours club.

It's a BABEXHOUSE TAKEOVER!! （*´▽｀*）

Special edition mix for the end of Women's History Month ~~

dos leches (@doslechesdosleches) is self-taught dj based in Seattle. Of Venezuelan descent, she uses sound to probe the concepts of identity, power and history through a subversive lens. Drawing from life experiences and diasporic roots, dos leches uses sound as a form of emotional therapy. The diversity of places, ideas and cultures is evident in her enthusiasm for deep sounds from across all spectrums that promote movement as a form of revolt.

Born out of Seattle’s underground music scene, Lyric Hernando Weiss aka La Niña (@la_ninyaa__) is an indigenous filmmaker and increasingly prevalent DJ in the local community. Propelled by her desire to create a refreshing and inventive club experience, she first showcased her entirely self taught abilities at small art galleries before jumping onto bills of highly sought after parties such as Jet, Confess, and House Party, until eventually snagging prime time slots at events like Kremwerk Pride. Just slightly over a year into her djing career she also co-founded and ran a bi-monthly show located in the heart of Capitol Hill called Artifact, and a couple years later, started opening for renowned producer giants such as Kittens - her biggest dj crush. Brought up by a family of musicians, her eclectic tastes make her extremely versatile, the result consistently ending in evocative and dynamic mixes that fluidly interweave everything from techno, DnB, experimental sound design, hip hop, club and more.

Dylan Fleck aka BIMBO HYNOSIS (@bimbohypnosis) is an Indigenous DJ and producer native to the Seattle area. As one of the founding members of BABEXHOUSE, she helped guide them through their original residency at Kremwerk nightclub. Dylan has been passionate about music from a young age, studying Jazz and Blues piano for several years before getting into production. She has been performing under a number of aliases since the late 2000s, and wrote her first track at 8 years old with Cakewalk and a Roland XP. She's currently working on several solo and collaborative projects which will be released later in 2021

Seattle-based N SO (@n-so)has been a part of the local underground music community since 2015, dedicated to creating a dynamic club experience that is as engaging as it is challenging. Her alias stems from the Zen word ensō, a circle that is hand-drawn in one uninhibited brushstroke to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. ‘N SO’ seeks to embody a feeling more than it serves as an identity.

NXMXGXLDXX or DJ Mutual Respekt births polymorphous post black & posthumanist soundscapes for enthusiasts especially of avant garde “refixes” or interested in a plethora of dynamic vibes; through but not limited to club, rap, metal, and electronic. These manifestations, encompassed by a thought provoked navigation to our own iconoclastic counterculture engineered by focus of fashion, art, music, nightlife & entertainment, & black activist teachings.

This episode features COMBAT//MOMMY & Auntie Chanel!

Ambient music is tricky business. It's finding the right balance between being open-ended and giving your listener something to hold on to. Part of what makes COMBAT//MOMMY fka Ancient Mariner so compelling is her willingness to break the mold. Her debut LP, Forever::Hotel, ambitiously infuses wandering swaths of synths with distant high-hats and trap-like beats. It never loses the immersive, longing that draws listeners in to ambient music while utilizing rhythm as a not-so-secret ingredient. Forever::Hotel veers between short, episodic moments to lengthy jams like the meme-inspired "Protecc:Attac" that you wouldn't mind hearing going on forever.
