giving everyone a chance to really stretch out. This mix was recorded from 4PM - 7PM and boasts a healthy dose of dub and sunshine.
Just A Dilettante w/ sold (Carly Barton Special)
“This show is my year anniversary of Just a Dilettante, so I am celebrating by playing the music of probably my favorite artist of all time, Carly Barton.
Carly makes some of the most unique and personal music I have ever come across. A large portion of their catalog is them traversing across different video game universes as imagined by Carly with the series "Vidya World." A classically trained pianist and music enthusiast, the spirit of curiosity and imagination is wildly alive in everything they do.” - @glorbis

Avant radio mix n.81
“Avant is a radio format conceived within the walls of the University of Milan.
Investigating the most extreme as well as experimental fields in electronic music since 2019.”
This mix collages 4 turntables fueled with pain, THC, and distortion (and a handful of original tracks).
pi pi pi / Absolute Zero
The pi pi pi series requests that each submission illustrate a different temperature — here, I present an impossible one, Absolute Zero. Groaning, tingling, and icy.
Daisychain 167
“Daisychain is a movement to showcase power, beauty, and strength of DJs and artists. Like the sequencing of electrical equipment, Daisychain will connect and develop a symbiotic network of trans, gender nonconforming people and women - from all backgrounds. DJs and artists from these realms of identity will continue to find their strength in sound by showcasing their art.”
Drowsy and weird with a sprinkling of metallic glitter.
NTS / Fifth World with Ian Kim Judd
“A riff on Jon Hassell's Fourth World series. Where Hassell focused on creating ritual music of potential societies that didn't exist; Ian Kim Judd seeks to evoke the notion of potential utopian societies that could exist. In these times of global instability and uncertainty, Fifth World seeks to posit an alternative, with scenes from an optimistic future.”
This mix highlights worldbuilding and storytelling through sound collage — sourcing soundtracks, unreleased materials, and shiny gems.

Beyond Below / B2
Fan Club is an intimate community-focused celebration recurring quarterly on the solstices and equinoxes of each season. To usher in the new Spring (2019), we gathered in a modest structure in the forest near Silver Falls (Oregon). The fusion of energy provided by the fresh snow and impending spring resulted in a night of mystical improvisation, becoming more hypnotic as the dark transformed into morning. This mix is a section of a near 4-hour recording using cdjs and turntables— diving into a fungi fueled trance that collages questionable tempos into new ‘scapes.
Beyond / Below is run by Dreamtone label operator and DJ, Hi-Vis.
