Broadcast 52 features the ultimate music gourmet Carlos Julio Souffront. From his roots in the Midwest underground scene to his deep impact here in the Bay Area, Carlos' DJ sets are legendary and he is hands down one of my favorite selectors of all time. By crossing genres and personal influences over years of perfecting the most impressive collection of records, he crafts exquisite sonic narratives.

We spoke candidly about the ongoing battle between digital vs. vinyl, the art of troubleshooting when things fall apart during your set and the beauty of dismantling the idea of a perfect set.

“When the past dies there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.” - Gloria Steinem.

The 50th broadcast of Infinite Beat features a new compilation release called Constructions Vol. 1. Released by David Last's newly launched record label, Last Faith Studios, Constructions showcases an all star cast of collaborating producers and artists like Robin Hitchcock, Christina Chatfield, Lavender and David Last himself. Through music, Last and his collaborators used the process of creation as a way of coping and connecting through their collective mourning post-Oakland Fire. Highly recommended.

Afterwards, Last shares an exclusive mix for Infinite Beat. Full of favorites that he and his partner Chelsea Faith Dolan (Cherushii) found inspiration from while listening in their home studio as well as Chu Ishikawa clips stemming from Last's love of film, soundtracks and the composers that have inspired his own music.

Afterwards is a short interview and DJ sets by the beating heart of Club Chai, the beloved 8ULENTINA and Foozool.

Infinite Beat Broadcast 47 is a halloween special inspired by the sumptuous, erotic, baroque fever dream Valerie a týden divů (Valerie and her Week of Wonders).

Afterwards this broadcast dives into the work of Bay Area-based producer Jay Fields. As one half of Abandoned Footwear with Michael Buchanan, Field's own solo work as Exillon and as a core member of the Katabatik Kollective, Jay brings an extensive, diverse and utterly impressive body of work into the studio, molding it into a precision megamix. It showcases years of production in the world of experimental Bay Area electronics. Enjoy.

Broadcast 41 starts with a short feature on Hand in Hand by Felicia Atkinson. Out on French label Shelter Press, all of her experimentations in modular synthesis were recorded during a snow storm at her home in Brittany. It explores "a moment of common thinking and listening in its diversity and abstraction. In the same way a sci-fi novel by Philip K. Dick or a sculpture by Guy Mees can be percieved: trivial, sensitive and mysterious at the same time." Highly recommended.

This episode begins by celebrating independently released, free music that listeners can directly download from artists on platforms like Soundcloud and Bandcamp. The massive catalog of free music that can be shared internationally, encourages more producers to create and express their music as they intended. Bhatt features Bay Area artist Odi me who has a cassette, Line Cook Music, on Jacktone Records. Her latest releases, "Deranged" and "Stone" can be downloaded off her Soundcloud. They are 100% free and highly recommended.

Afterwards Bhatt welcomes Jasmine Infiniti. She is the ferocious founder of the New World Dysorder party crew and has a unique perspective as a DJ, merging her roots in the New York ballroom scene with her fascination with the dark atmosphere of techno. Both Bhatt and Infiniti have an articulate and deeply thoughtful conversation about the heritage of NYC Ballroom culture, intersectionality on the dancefloor, the hellish music that moves her and the inspiration she feels within communities in both East and West coasts. A superb mix by the celebrated DJ follows. Enjoy.

Broadcast 39 has been podcasted for your listening pleasure. Starting with the latest release from San Francisco's own Left Hand Path Label, Infinite Beat contributor C.L.A.W.S. unveils his latest offering with Stygian Morass, a four-track EP with hallucinogenic, feverish tracks that evokes Nastassja Kinski in Cat People or an erotic giallo. It is both both horrifying and titillating. Highly recommended.

This broadcast also features a lovable chat with a beloved producer and DJ based in San Francisco, Sepehr. He has affiliates with Outpost, a respected underground party from CM-4, Michael Claus and Nackt that recently launched a label). Sepehr has also DJ'ed all over the Bay Area with his electric sets.

Afterwards is an exclusive mix from one of the rising stars of the East Coast techno scene, Ciarra Black. She is one half of the No-Tech label with J.R. Nelson, one half member of the noise/industrial/experimental techno duo Appetite with the lovely Jane Chardiet and she has her own No-Tech solo debut, Pendulum.

International Refugee Assistance Project
American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee

He is one third of the experimental post-punk trio Bronze (Not Not Fun Records, RVNG Intl), one half of Kit n C.L.A.W.S. with Kit Clayton and has many releases under his own moniker on Tigerbass Records.

Stygian Morass is his new EP release coming out on Left Hand Path and a newly launched label co-operated by both him and Solar called Squirrels on Film is setting the tone for this year in the best local techno excursions. The thriving underground dance music scene here in San Francisco wouldn't exist if it were not for C.L.A.W.S. It surely would be poorly dressed. Enjoy.

"Over the last few years, many of my peers have started to shift their creative path from rock and noise into the realms of hardware based 'dance' music. Tekno. This delights me to no end, I feel like I've been waiting for this shift most of my adult life. I get asked for technical troubleshooting advice at least once or twice a week...I don't mind, I love nerding out n helping out...but to be honest this is the advice I have to offer:

Stop trying to be a Performer and try to learn how to be a Facilitator. This is not rock n roll...let go of its mythology of western individualism and accept that you are an active participate in something larger than yourself. Lets do this."

~Joey Casio

This is the last installment of a two part series celebrating the lives, work and legacy of many artists who are no longer with us. These are the East Bay's Psychick Warriors: Barrett Clark (R.M.S., Polar, RPTN, Katabatik), Joey Casio, Micah Danemayer (Paralycyst) and beautifully enigmatic Cash Askew (Them Are Us Too, Crecendo).

This broadcast also features unreleased tracks and live performances from the many projects that these artists were a part of. Accenting Shadows, Polar, Opulence, Obsidian Blade, Red Cellar, Paralycyst, Crecendo, Prist and Heavenly.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this: Jay Fields (Exillon), Nihar (Surface Tension, Nine), Aja Archuleta (Crecendo, Piano Rain, Aja Vision) and The Creatrix. Special thanks to Valentyn. Finally, thank you to all of our listeners. It has been a blessing to get through this with all of you.

This is the first from a two part broadcast celebrating the lives, work and legacy of many artists who are no longer with us: Chelsea Faith Dolan (Cherushii), Johnny Igaz (Nackt) and Griffin Madden of Tri Works. They have influenced us, inspired us, mentored us and shaped who we are as artists, DJs, producers, as human beings and as music lovers who want nothing but to ride the rhythm together.

This broadcast also features unreleased tracks from both Chelsea and Johnny that are deeply personal for many of us as they all represent these profoundly gifted artists. There are also tracks featured that they loved and were moved by.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this: my cohost budding DJ Blake Alexander Thomas, Roche (100% Silk, Mathematics, Run the Length of Your Wildness), master DJ and human music encyclopedia David Siska (Sonic Sunset), synth goddess The Creatrix (No-Tech), Russell E.L. Butler (Opal Tapes), local DJs Ash Williams (The Chase), Tri works' Denim Decades and Dorian. I love that I can hear you laugh and cheer in the background. I love that you have surrounded me and each other with your encouragement and love. I love that I am getting through this with you.

Thank you to Nihar (Surface Tension), Aaron J (T.Vivian, Sure Thing), Guillaume (Spring Theory), Avalon Emerson, Cooper Saver, Courtesy, Cal Volner-Dison and all who came to support us during this broadcast. Finally thank you to all of our listeners.

Chelsea, Johnny and Griffin. This broadcast is for you.

xoxo,

Topazu

Happy All Hallows Eve. Broadcast 34 starts with an emotive, short selection of melancholy tracks, that highlights a superb solo LP, You Know What It’s Like, from Carla Dal Forno of Fingers and Tarcar (Blackest Ever Black). It is a release with stunning, somber songwriting, field recordings and ambient electronics from the artist that evokes the work of Nico, Grouper and many artists of the neofolk genre.

Shortly is an interview with Justin Anastasi (Surface Tension, VX, Soft Moon). His music, support and creativity has supported and inspired many of us in the Bay Area for well over 16 years and it was an honor to have him on the show.

Afterwards is a dark, eerie mix starting at dusk from the accomplished musician. Enjoy.
