about this time last year, summer 2019, under feelings of inescapable hopelessness, I had a portentous vision of the future: technological takeover, societal collapse, runaway climate catastrophe. An apocalyptic end to civilization as we know it. This episode was the culmination of that vision. A story of mythic proportions, of humanity’s ceaseless pursuit of “innovation” leading to our own demise. Last year, I had no idea how close we might come to that vision. And now, in the midst of a global pandemic, combined with climate uncertainty and a rising tide of fascism worldwide, it’s a vision that feels a little more tangible, in both expected and unexpected ways. When I made this episode, apocalypse felt like a distant possibility. Now, it feels just beyond the horizon. What’s in store for us? What comes next? It’s time to revisit a future-past. It’s time for copy/paste episode #178: apocalypse.

I released an EP last week (check it out on beatsolow records), but our release event was rained out and kinda put a damper on plans. I’m not Prince, so we took things inside, but as we all know, inside ain’t the outside in the summer. this episode is a recording of the beginning of my set from the release party, trying to channel the mild disappointment of uncooperative weather, trying to coax the sun out, trying to find the silver linings, like we’ve all had to do every day of this bizarre summer…

I can’t say enough good things about this guest mix by Vancouver Island-based DJ Looting! The mix is flawless and the tracks are choice. He channels all the weird contradictions of this summer into an effervescent mix of twisted pop mutations and dark dancehall vibes. Smash that play button, and make sure you check out his own radio show, Surveillance Tapes, airing on Wheel.fm, as well as his excellent original tracks on Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Boom!
