Soooooo I haven't posted in two weeks. Lol.

Soooo, hi everyone. How are y'all? Life has been hectic. I haven't been posting the way I like to be. Sometimes life gets in the way... but hey, ya roll with what happens. I'm currently in Florida working for a Ren Faire, so that's been pretty great. The beach is nice while the rest of the country's been freezing over.

Outside of that, I've really been digging releases from the Different Drumz label. It's a lot of ambient jungle/liquid DnB that's been soundtracking the drive south through dense mountains and coastal forests that's great for discussing your dreams and unfolding why you see the world the way you do. Few things really heal the soul the way life on the road does- the endless miles in front of you are just amazing for talking through your trauma and unfolding why things didn't work out.

I've really been trying to work on why my old life never worked out- The endless hours for vacations that never came to impress "friends" on social media who never gave a shit about you and disappeared as soon as you needed real help. I set a goal (Inspired by Xavier) to be better, not bitter. Life's too short and there's too much out there to sit down in the dumps, being miserable and resentful. I felt like that's who I'd become since the plague hit- Still caught up on old friends who I'd fallen out with when I really should have been out there in the wild, forging new relationships. Living my truth.

The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, but it can also be kind and accepting and loving. I'ts cliche, but I knew inside that as soon as I got on the road, it was the life I was supposed to be a part of. Too much stuff weighs you down, and I'm happier sourcing endless adventure than I am dying the slow rot of the nine to five.It's not perfect- there's a lot of difficulty and stress- but it's far more satisfying for me. I feel alive in a way I never dreamed I could. If you're on the edge, lemme say- life is out there, waiting to be lived. Don't sit around all day making excuses and then realize on your deathbed you could've done what you always fantasized about doing.

I have a label, y'all!

Hey fuckers! Proud to announce I've started a label with DJ Stephen Marsh from PA. Interrupted Signal is a home to all things and sounds techno, a counter-offering to a world that's explicitly designed to stress you out and overstimulate you. Where Facebook offers you more anxiety over Trump's stupidity and your weird family members, we offer pleasure and happiness from avant-garde sound healing, dancing and love. In Stephen's own words: "The global signal is stagnant; it's time to interrupt it." First offering is Stephen's The Art of Self - 3 songs that bring out the more soulful, introspective, melodic side of techno and induce a feeling of peace & calm not too far removed from Anja Schneider or Tale of us. Each one slowly builds in hypnotic fashion to satisfactory, complex peaks that would feel just as at home at peak time in the club as they would at 7 AM during the next day's bleary-eyed, sleep deprived drive to work. All 3 songs fl...

What's Christoph listening to? 20 Jan 2025

Welp, 2025 is here and it's off to a wild start. Fascism is back in power in America and I'm all adventured out for a lil while. Most of the country is dealing with insane levels of winter weather. The future is here, and it's very fucking strange. Here's some songs that are infinitely better than Spotify's boring-ass AI slop. Enjoy. Fluid Dynamic- In Da House, Vol. 1 Big 80s diva vocals over crisp, flashy 90s house. Every song hits hard enough to get the dancefloor moving, but also has enough melody and complexity that you can play it in the car or headphones over and over without it losing its straightforward, poppy appeal. I met Ross via Facebook back when they were a resident DJ on my home station, The Music Galaxy Radio . Aside from being a treasure trove of useful advice and friendly AF, they've also put me on to other great music, like Wake Up! The Fluid Dynamic project encompasses everything from hard trance to Dune soundtrack style ambient, all of...

2025 is here n so far its been fckin insane.

Morning everyone! Happy belated new year. 2024 was weird af. I had a lot of really cool moments last year (Getting to open for Colin Cook/IDBH was a huge highlight) but TBH I'm ready to put most of it behind me. I've been spending the last month or so traveling around the United States with my homie Xavier (Go check him out, he's a super dope painter) so I thought I'd share a quick lil recap of our adventures with y'all. We started middle of December leaving Denver. We had moved there a couple months ago and it really just was not working out. The living situation was absolutely fricken atrocious and it really felt like almost all the creative people had left the city (With the exception of Quite Right Records ). So we hopped in the car and started driving. Down East through Kansas and Oklahoma. To Arkansas. Go see Arkansas. It's so fricken pretty. After Arkansas, we came back up through Missouri and Iowa to Nebraska for the holidays. We made some really do...
