AYLI Podcast #95 - Rubidium

05/01/20 • 73 min

Rachel Bisagni, aka Rubidium, is a techno veteran. Based in Oakland, she's a DJ, producer, and co-founded the bi-monthly Konstruct event series, which highlights American techno artists in particular.

She's responsible for the latest edition of the AYLI Podcast, a slow burn of a mix that, as she points out, could very well serve as an opening set in a club — but is really designed for home listening. It’s proper zoning music, and I think we could all use a bit of that right now.

AYLI Podcast #94 - Eichef

If you live in San Francisco and like techno — Techno techno, with a capital T — then you probably know Hiram Fabrizio. One of the friendliest and kindest players in the local scene is also one of its most talented — and most active. You might know him from Konstruct, the no-nonsense techno monthly he’s a part of. Or U-SRD, his duo project with Loammi Rodas. Or Eichef, his solo production moniker. Or you might know him from bumping into him on a dancefloor at a club, a warehouse, or a house party. He’s a genuine supporter, in it for the love of music, not to build a brand or make a name. It’s a refreshing reminder of why we’re all here to begin with. As Eichef, he’s responsible for mixing up the latest edition of the As You Like It podcast. It’s an hour-long “slower mix of electro and techno unfolding into world sounds,” in his own words.

AYLI Podcast #96 - Space Ghost

Space Ghost, the alias of Oakland-based house-funk player Sudi Wachspress, has been steadily producing and releasing tunes since 2010, and in the past several years, he's picked up serious steam, releasing three LPs, two on Denmark’s Tartelet Records and a third on Steven Julien's Apron Records. Besides producing tunes as Space Ghost, Wachspress has flexed his DJ technique, playing out with friend Steve Sandwich as a duo called Late Feelings, and launching a party at Starline Social Club called Open Soul. True to its name, Open Soul focuses on boogie, house, and disco — influences you’ll hear in Space Ghost’s sound. Wachspress has mixed up the latest edition of the As You Like It podcast, a mellow collection of modern soul, gospel, and boogie-flavored tunes.
