Spin Cycle
w/ Rotating Guests
Spin Cycle: An open workshop exploring music that makes people move, featuring tastemakers, floor movers, and booty shakers across the wider Midwest.
"One chaotic hour of overcooked fidelity sounds brought to you by DJ and producer of far too many aliases, Conflict Bureau. Merging beat up jak with sludgy industria leaning Sonics, edit morsels, original compositions, this mix is an ode to bad sound systems fueling the best rooms, rough DJ mix cassettes and the visceral feeling that it'll never be like it once was."
Some downtempo, breaks, synth music and melancholy tunes from e_fren

Toronto-based speaker-freaking-genius DJ Trustfall comes at us with tripped-out grooves and percussive explorations of the highest order. Music for dancing and music for turning over rocks to look at the bugs hiding underneath.

Spin Cycle this week comes from Philly's No Author: After three years away from the decks, a return in fragments: neo-trance, hard drum, grime, and ruinous euphoria. For Emily. Recorded in Berlin. *Includes miscellaneous film clips: There Will Be Blood, Donnie Darko, and Saint Maud.
An hour and a half of disco—house—disco-house from Chicago-based disc romancer Henry Tegethoff. Deep cuts, classics, dance standards expertly spun together by one of our city's finest. Love saves the day.

This week's Spin Cycle comes at us courtesy of Detroit rising star DykeChow. An hour of wriggly, raw, (new) wavy, and acidic bangers, this mix deconstructs the ever-false braindance - bodydance dichotomy like it's nothing, and leaves us with Dance. Pure and simple. This is no surprise from DykeChow of course - she's been melting brains and dancefloors all over Detroit recently and she's just getting started, so slip on your wiggling shoes and loosen your grip on your cerebral viscosity because once that first blorp hits there is no going back.
Inspector hails from Chicago and is one half of renowned hardware duo easygoingtech. She both DJs and plays solo hardware as Inspector; for this edition of Spin Cycle she's graced us with an all-vinyl mix. Recorded live at the Chicago Redux studio, this hour+ deluge of raw beats and no-nonsense electronics is sure to move your feet and cleanse your spirit.
Rooting around in the dusty corners of your local record shop in search of overlooked audial sprockets and cogs is Dean Raymond, the master mechanic behind Chicago's esteemed 'Spare Parts' party series and a disc jock of the highest caliber. This week on Spin Cycle he graces us with an hour of his trademark sound - in his words, "machine funk, dirty disco, and emotionally bent house music with a post-punk edge." A lively mix of hot tracks to get you sweating as the days turn cooler.

Dónde Estamos resident and internationally touring DJ Just Alexander takes over the decks on Spin Cycle, delivering an hour and a half of smooth electro, techno, house and disco.
Donde Estamos brings a taste of the global music scene to the Midwest. Each record played is a memory of a party in Beijing or Santiago. The room decor is a foggy recollection of an afters in Viña del Mar or a club night in Dalian. All this gets placed within a wrapper of Midwest sensibility and presented as a public service - Viva la underground.
Catch Alexander with labelmate Ulysses and the OOOF! crew, this Saturday, 8/16 somewhere in Grand Rapids.
Our first Spin Cycle comes to you from a dear friend and adept curator of postmodern sonics: Naphtha. A floor-shaking investigation into life, dance, and rebirth through Plastic. We wanted to chat with him about his mix because he is our friend. We thought we would transcribe the conversation, so that you, dear listener, can learn a little more about this mix as well: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qqa_5PNTvPpj2OlSY_u6E2FHKVhx--E5Bs9Ns89Wdzs/edit?usp=sharing
