‘Calling Missoula his home – Montana born Producer/DJ: ‘PLTNM’ has spent more than a decade navigating the world of electronic sound. Like the precious metal itself, PLTNM is a rarity - emitting an illusive and curious energy sparked by deep, driving baselines, percussive groove and hip-hop flair. This has given him the opportunity to perform at various Montana Festivals and Events and has placed him on bills with acclaimed artists such as Noer The Boy, Of The Trees, Chmura and Parkbreezy, amongst others.
 Tapping into a wide range of music flavors, his productions and performances provide a familiar, yet unique and ever-evolving sound that ebbs and flows with the environment around him. With this ability to mesh the boundaries of genre, and exhibit true intention in this craft, your attention is immediately grasped, keeps you guessing and most importantly - keeps you MOVING.’

Hey there, It's MumbleBee,

Is a cave a landscape? It's certainly very land, but it is very scape? idk, y'all can decide..

This mix was inspired by my imagination of what it would be like to rave in a cave. Close your eyes (unless you're driving or performing surgery or something), and imagine yourself surrounded by stalagmites and wet air. All your favorite people are there, and weird cave music is emanating from a throat in the rock that descends deep into the earth.

Hot dog (I mean.. cat?!) It's freaking hot here in the roasted valley once known (or unknown) as Glacial Lake Missoula. you're probably not thinking of doing much except sitting in the coolest selection of shade you can find and ripening like a hot banana, but hey... there's things to do; plants to water, dishes to rinse - the work never stops! So even though water is squirting from your pores like 1 million tiny supersoakers and you feel like a crusty towel, we are welcoming back M3oW MiXx to help you get it done!

MeoW MiXx, a long time musical savant and recent DJ of the past 2 years, is here to help you unstuck your bare legs from whatever sweaty surface you've been rotting on and get grooving! or if you choose, keep chilling (cooking?).. I'm sure she won't mind. Just make sure to hydrate!

A few words from the Artist:

"The mix is a laidback bedroom house set, featuring tracks from octo octa, bjork, Berlioz, and many other. I made this mix with the intention of it being something you put on while picking up room, doing the dishes, or taking a shower after a long day, low-cortisol sounds that keep you moving while also lowering your blood pressure." - M3oW MiXx

What's better than a gay party?

A gay after party?

Absolutely not!

We're talking about a gay after-after party! That's right, this mix from Mimsy was captured live at House of Dorothy - the capstone to a wild and vibrant Missoula Pride weekend back in June.

Mimsy operates out of Bozeman, MT as a DJ and producer. While he can effortlessly curate any dancefloor, any party and any vibe, his true inspiration and mastery stems from Midtempo Bass.

We are excited to archive this particularly dark, industrial, and inspiring set.

A few words from the Artist:

"This set was recorded live at the official Missoula Pride after party, House of Dorothy, where the energy stayed high well into the morning. I put together a midtempo set with darker club influences keeping the momentum high blending many of my favorite tracks. Hope this mix captures a little of how special that night was. Thank you everyone who came out making the night unforgettable. Happy pride 🏳️‍🌈"

Welcome Dj.Ki to the decks. Straight out of Billings, MT, Four years deep into the craft, he got his start the best way possible, following in his dad’s footsteps, who remains his biggest supporter, mentor, and inspiration to this day.

He’s already brought the energy to stages like Pulse, Purgatory, and ElectroFest, and now he’s bringing that same heat here. Expect a blend of deep house, tech house, and bass house — a set he describes in three words: deep, dark, and dirty. Think shades of Juush and Wax Motif running through it.

Turn it up, get low, and let it ride.

With the marginally anticipated return of the Backseat DJ long past and perhaps remembered and possibly cherished likely by some or even a few folks, our musical protagonist (Sticky People) returns from his roots back to the branching streams of hardware driven, live, improvisational performance. This mix captures a moment in effervescence - as is the nature of performance.

I'd like to take a moment and reflect on the wonderful opportunity we at Starlight Reunion have been given to archive moments like these - live musical improvisation, edge of your seat selecting, careful curation, sharing a space with sound and people; all breaching a dance floor like flash lightning in the night. I'd like to thank Sticky People, as well as the multitude of artists who have contributed to this vast archive of an often all too momentary art form.

Maybe the next time you're at a show, or at the club, take a moment, breathe, and be present with the performer before you. remember that you are now, and every moment is special.

This week's mix features a live set by Sticky People, recorded at the Union in Missoula, MT. It includes a track list:

- Beware the Aware Jerr

- Turkeyface

- Teardrop/Weakend

A few words from the artist:

"So the first few weeks of this year were utter bullshit. There was a lot of that last year too. Come to think of it, there’s been a lot since! I didn’t really feel like doing anything pretty for this set. That was also kind of nerve wracking, because this was at the union club. These people are not here for me. They’re mostly here to drink. But instead of trying to “play the hits” (cuz you know i got em!) or playing to the crowd, I really just wanted to get weird with it. Surprisingly, the room really vibed with what I threw out."

And we're back!

This Thursday mix features the reinvigorated sounds of MamaT.

For over a decade, MamaT has been a mover and shaker in the Montana scene. She has worked with larger productions to host artists like Bassnectar and Beats Antique in the state, as well as a sound/stage manager with Playground Enterprises. Additionally, MamaT has been gracing rave stages of Montana such as Pirate Party, Fairy Tale, Montana Magic, Crystal Mountain, RAD Après, Boogie On The Beach, and numerous mountain parties.

Now back from a 2 year hiatus, MamaT is mixing for broken hearts, recovery, and connection. The mix (which includes artists such as Tonino & Styffn, Austin Millz, Gorgon City, San Pacho, Walker & Royce, Kamino, Wenzday, Bautista, Deeper Purpose, and Sidepiece), is inspired by love, loss, sex, desire, and release. it grooves at the edges of chemistry where music and emotion, and movement all blend together.

A few words from the artist:

"I stepped away from the music scene for the last 2 years... heartbreak, love, health and money. Christina Carmona, my musical soul sister, asked me to spin with her at her RAD Après Party. She knew music would bring me back to life. Then Enzymes' and BK's sets at Cloverfield reignited my spark to really get back out there. I'm ready to share my love of music with the world once again. Endless gratitude!" - MamaT

Every generation of DJs builds on the techniques and inspirations of the previous generation. One to watch out for is Mar. starting out with commercial selections, Mar had been branching out and digging deeper in the the darker and heady realms of minimal electronic music.

With only a year and a half behind the decks, you'd think Mar was born with some kind of musical sonar in his brain. his ability to blend the known and unknown is fresh and inspiring. including artists such as MJ Cole and Wookie mixed with Grenier, Facta, and Pura Pura. Mar is constantly pushing the style deeper and deeper, and honestly, we're here for it.

which his unshakable drive to innovate, Mar is inspiring Djs both young and old to dust off their radars and build something magical.

A few words from the Artist:

"This Mix was a great time and a great learning experience for me. I was inspired to bridge the gap between my interests in tunes and the needs of the badlander. Between the dark garage, pop, and footwork cuts, I had tons of fun bouncing around and everyone loved it." - Mar

Howdy, Y'all! For episode 320 we are introducing classically trained musician, self taught DJ, and Talented selector, Aather!
