AYLI Podcast #96 - Space Ghost

05/02/20 • 58 min

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.

AYLI Podcast #95 - Rubidium

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 #97 - Sis Girl

Sis Girl has made a steady approach on San Francisco dancefloors, building off their work throwing a party in Pittsburgh, MESH, which highlights queer, nonbinary, and female talent from the midwestern and eastern United States. After several appearances behind the booth at The Stud, Public Works, and more, they recently joined forces with Kosmetik, perhaps the city’s most out-there queer DJ crew. Dov's responsible for the latest edition of the As You Like It podcast, an hour-long swirl of rubbery minimal techno and cooled-down house flavors.
