Greetings, Earthlings. For September, we take a departure away from June+August's emo/sensitive side of house music and move towards a spacier, darker, and more driving sound. It's a sound that's been making its way into my gigs a bit more these last couple months, so it's nice to pull them into a mix. Here's a list of my upcoming gigs these next couple months, hopefully you can catch on: Sept 28 | The Cityfox Experience: Space Knights | The Well, Brooklyn Oct 8 | Tutu Tuesday | Harlot, San Francisco Oct 25 | Thugfucker + Atish | Monarch, San Francisco Nov 9 | Desert Hearts 1 Year Anniversary | La Jolla Indian Res. Campground, near San Diego You can follow me on Facebook here: facebook.com/atishmusic and sign up for my mailer with my rambling, mixes, and upcoming gigs here: http://bit.ly/atishemailsep Tracklist: Ellroy - Shifting [Something Different Records, 2012] Sven Weisemann - Slices (Boris Hotton Remix) [Liebe Detail, 2008] Moonwalk - Confession Feat.

Hello, August. I consider this month's mix as an extension of where June left off on the lighter, melodic side of deep house. Usually I try to contrast sounds from month to month, but as you may have noticed, there is an absence of a July mix which would was intended to be a darker, more driving collection of music. The truth is that kind of mix didn't work at that particular time for me, so when stepping into August, I threw July out the window and stuck my gut and what I was feeling: easy, beautiful, Music... I'm pretty excited for Burning Man to say the least. I hope you are lucky enough to have the time and resources to go this year. At risk of sounding parental, if this is your first time burning, or even if you're a veteran, please do remember that Burning Man isn't a music festival. Burning Man is a gathering of people focused on community, participation, creativity, and survival...which just happens to have music. I do hope you get a chance to see me and other DJs you enjoy play, but hopefully the music will complement the other magical experiences you have on the playa...but feel free listen to all my mixes on the long desert drive there :)...if you do catch me on the playa (on or off the decks), be sure to say hi! And without further ado, here's what I have lined up: Tuesday Afternoon Tutu Tuesday | Short Stack | 7:15+G (my camp!) Wednesday Afternoon Pink Mammoth | 8:30 + F Thursday Afternoon Atish + MightyKat | Kazbah | 10:00 + G Thursday Night Atish All Night | Panda Lounge | 8:30 + A Friday Night Robot Heart with Lee Burridge and Friends You can follow me on facebook: facebook.com/atishmusic and if you'd like to get emails with me rambling about music and upcoming gigs, have a looksie here: http://bit.ly/atishemailaug Die Vogel - Mesmerize Nu, Julia Go - Places Britta Arnold - Chicken Curry (Lee Jones Remix) Bluford Duck - Eye See (Patrick Podage & Nikola Kotevski) Gregory S, Dandy - Nightvision (Gorje & Izhevski Remix) Bearight - Buoyant Rufus - Desert Night (Jesse Rose Remix) Pablo Inzunza - Sunless Days Enawadan - Inner Joys Of Life (Paskal & Urban Absolutes) Yoko Duo - First in Line (Lake People Remix)

Dynamism....from a metaphysical perspective, it's the belief that the nature of every substance contains an expression of the universe. As an artistic movement, dynamism is the capture of an objects motion - both intrinsic and relative to its environment. To me, Dynamism is the push and pull of intensity and energy. I consider this mix one of my more ambitious efforts, aiming to work through strong swings of intensity, melody, and motion while still staying on some semblance of a cogent course. I find that this is a mix that I enjoy the more I listen to it, which usually isn't the case. I hope it resonates with you as much as it does for me. Here's what I have going these next few weeks: April 26 - Toy-Toy, Johannesburg, South Africa April 27 - Fiction, Cape Town, South Africa May 1-6 - AfrikaBurn, Tankwa Town, South Africa May 15 - Mumbai, India (venue to be confirmed) May 17 - Level Two, Melbourne, Australia May 18 - Spice Cellar, Sydney, Australia May 19 - TBA, Australia Feel free to follow me on facebook here: http://facebook.com/atishmusic Tracklist: Sebo K - Shades of Red [Mobilee 2013] Mano Andri - Cinematic [Cyclic Records 2013] Moomin - you neva know [Closer 2013] QMUSSE, Dubaa - Message (Version 1) [Itom Records 2013] Dominik Eulberg - Der Tanz Der Gluehweurmchen (Kollektive Turmstrasse "Dirt Glow" Remix) [Traum 2011] Daso, Pawas - El Paso (Yapacc Remix) [Brise Records 2009] SIS - Messara [Cocolino 2013] Anthony Collins - Prism [Freak N Chic 2009] Umit Han - An Einem Traurigen Morgen [Traum 2012] Konstantine Sibold - Gestade [Salon Rosi 2010] Nautiluss - Zero Gravity [3024 2013] Markas Palubenka - Kill Me (Few Nolder Remix) [Get Physical Music 2013]

For March, we explore what I like to call the richer side of deep house. I offer deep sub-bass lows complemented by warm spacey highs, lush synth sweeps, sensual vocal hooks, and a prog-influenced resolution. Progressive house has been entering my consciousness these last few months in various manifestations. These last few years, I admittedly thought "prog" was a dirty word, but as of late I've been finding music that holds on to the melodic beauty of prog, injects deep house grooves, yet still maneuvers away from the cheese the genre has been branded...all of which I think you'll hear in the 2nd half of this mix. If you like what you hear, repost it to your friends and feel free to follow me on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/atishmusic Also, if you're in the Pacific Northwest, here are some upcoming gigs I'll be playing: March 29 - Seattle - Electric Tea Garden March 30 - Vancouver - Beaumont Studios March 31 - Victoria, BC - Temple Events Tracklist: 01. Gorje Hewek, Izhevski - Inspire 02. Arthur Oskan - Exit Strategy 03. Marvin Zeyss - Hidden Emotion 04. Canson - Kuma 05. Jon Donson - The Way It Is (Patrick Podage Remix) 06. Hunter_Game - Blue Earth 07. Jody Wisternoff, Pete Josef - Just One More (Martin Roth Remix) 08. Martin Roth - Beautiful Life 09. Mathias Vogt - Sierra Nevada 10. J. Wiltshire - Closer 11. Veitengruber - Supervision This mix was also featured for my friends who run the Electronic Groove podcast...be sure to check them out! (http://www.electronicgroove.com/EG379Atish.php)

Hello Hot Dogs! I've waited for this day for over 14 years: mix #100 is live. When I released my first mix in 2010, I titled it [001] instead of [01]. Using three digits was aspirational, a quiet promise to myself that I might one day reach triple digits. These mixes trace the narrative of my adult life. They've been the thread connecting me with so many of you—some I'll never meet, others who've become close friends (and even roommates—hi Dan, hi James). Back when I released my first mix in 2010, we were still buying mix CDs for our cars. Soundcloud was just emerging, and I committed to monthly releases to this new platform. I may be overreaching here, but I can’t remember any other DJs presenting conceptual mixes, monthly, as packaged works of art: a conceptual title, description, and artwork. That consistency and novelty helped build a following outside of my local scene, and when my 2012 Robot Heart recording came out, things really took off internationally. By 2015, the momentum led me to leave my software engineering job for full-time DJing—largely thanks to these Soundcloud mixes. I was purely a DJ then with a nascent Manjumasi label formed with Mark Slee, not releasing my first original track “Peculiar Colors” until 2017. The landscape in 2024 looks different. As Soundcloud rotted to hell and Spotify rose, the value of mixes has sharply declined. With thousands released daily, they've become ubiquitous. The career path for electronic artists now revolves around original productions and social media presence. This industry evolution pushed me toward producing my own music, opening up new creative paths I'm grateful for. The social media aspect has felt natural, as it's been an integral part of my project from the start. These last few years, the touring schedule, studio time, and home life as a husband and father slowed me down from my monthly cadence, but each mix still feels like a deep-rooted part of my message to the world, (mostly) through other people's music. Mix [100] was recorded September 7, 2024, at Public Works in San Francisco, the city that "raised me" as a club kid, where I first learned to DJ. This 5-hour set marked my last show in North America before taking an indefinite mental health break from touring. Playing this set was emotional, to the point of tears in the DJ booth, with support pouring in from both new listeners and those who've been there since the beginning. I couldn’t think of a better way to reach 100. I've also created http://www.atish100.com to house all my mixes and their 1,400+ tracklists in one place, which I'll keep updating as new mixes go up on Soundcloud and YouTube. This mix marks a meaningful milestone for me. Thank you for making this journey possible. You, and the 1400+ artists and labels I referenced helped create a life I never imagined.
