    SOUND COALITIONS / Episode 46: Guest Mix featuring Clarity

    After a self care break here at Sound Coalitions, we're back! And we brought with us an opening club set by emerging Bay Area artist Clarity. Clarity(she/they/it)is a techno DJ originating from London, with current roots in the Bay Area. She engaged the art of DJing during the pandemic, doubling down on a deep love of the rave culture from her European home base. With this consolidation of passion and mixing, she's podcasted for stations across Europe and the world including FOLD, Instruments of Discipline, Erotic Sentimentalism, HRA Berlin, Dusk Records, Singularity LA, DaisyChain, Techno's Children, and Speedmaster Records. It is clear her sound resonates with the tastes of listeners, and this live recording can attest. Simply put, Clarity works with an undulating mix of tracks that are hard, fast, trippy and at times, perhaps spiritual to some ears. She is resident of London’s warehouse series @rave.signal and played for fabulous queer focused/friendly parties including @h_t_b_x @riposte.london @ggi.club @musa.platform @planetfunasmr @hedonistfest @she.they.dj We thank Clarity for the gift of this mix and hope you listeners enjoy the next hour and half. It is nice to be in your ears again, and please keep an eye out for more mixes coming to you summer and fall of 2023.

    SOUND COALITIONS / Episode 45: Guest Mix featuring Jumpr

    As one of the founding members of Fog City Pack, resident of San Francisco's monthly disco party DAD, and newest resident of one of SF’s longest running fetish nights, Stank, Joe Weidman (a.k.a. Jumpr) has spent the last several years striving to create unique, inclusive, exciting experiences for the SF queer and leather communities not just as a DJ but also as the Creative Director of Fog City Pack. He prides himself on being a dance floor filler, agnostic of genre, spinning everything from sweaty bathhouse disco to throbbing techno bangers. Jumpr wants to bring the rush and keep the energy ecstatic. This mix is downright chunky-thick with it's build of heavy bass intertwined with 80's new wave selections. It lands as well crafted with basslines nicely pairing between tracks-a moment to breathe before the next chapter of seedy, bouncing rhythm. The reflection of community support Jumpr provides is evident with this sound- while not easily defined in sound per-say, it's certainly felt through every layer of latex, leather, and mesh from listeners. Thanks a lot Joe, and wishing you and all of Fog City Pack the best- Chris + Chris Tracklist: Theus Mago – Erotic Polymorphic Experience Beesmunt Soundsystem – Playin’ Myself Local Suicide, Theus Mago – Technician Jorkes – Wet Dreams (Zombies in Miami Remix) Locked Club – Two Girls Agle – Calling Back Kendal – Profondo Russo Cowboy Rhythmbox – 6AM Cowboy (Cowboy Rhythmbox Deviation Variation) Damon Jee, Darlyn Vlys – Phenomene Pastor in Vegas – Na Tu Ta IM Kellar – Bolwerk Neurotiker – Ojos Distantes feat.

    SOUND COALITIONS / Episode 43: Guest Mix featuring DJ ValleyGhoul

    "Name: Kristiano Camilo Moreno Birthplace: Sacramento, CA Age: 26 Zodiac: Gemini Pronouns: All of dem Favorite Musician(s): Mr.Oizo, Deee-Lite, Nina Hagen, M.I.A., & Geneva Jacuzzi Favorite venue ever played: Cheetahs Hollywood, CA Favorite sex position: All of dem Favorite TV show: What’s Happening, Noah’s Arc, I Love Money" What can you say about an artist who can blend 90's metal goth with early 80's lounge and make you want to dance to it? WHOA. Kristian Moreno may simultaneously mix two tracks fine tuning the timing and beat sequence and oddly enough, not even GAF and make something sound amazing. This multidisciplinary artist specializes in an open format style when DJing but brings influence from their more than a decade long exposure to goth, punk, techno, and new wave. Their unique sound was developed in part by exposure of many kinds -experience of multiple cultures, a bit of drugs, a lot of music, and a general anti-status quo foundation. Having residencies across the Northern Californian cities and developing their radio podcast transmissions under the demonic-pseudonym “DJ BoogyFrights,” Moreno is continuing their growth in music and expression. They're also balancing cultivation of the band “Provoker” who just signed to “YEAR0001” from Scandinavia. These original dynamics now known, Moreno's work speaks for itself and it is certainly an entertaining and well mixed hour ride. Thanks a lot Kristian; it is so good to see you develop as an artist and we know the next decade holds true promise to your craft. https://soundcloud.com/valleyghoul -C&C
