A DJ Mix / Live Performance Review

CW: visuals contain fake blood, religious imagery, 2016 memes & political references

One of my personal favourite DJ mixes & live sets of all time is christtt's first proper attempt at a live show, what will be the start of several great mixes he would go on to do.

christtt is a plunderphonics & vaporwave producer who at the time had just gotten out of his first big break in the vapor scene with the release of his fourth album no lives matter on March 2016. To put it lightly, the title of that album has aged, but the album itself had a lot less to do about politics and way more to do about death and the afterlife in Hell, especially as this was made surrounding the ten year anniversary of his father's passing.

It's one of my favourite vaporwave albums of all time and it completely pushes the boundaries of what minimal can be done with its sample editing in order to effectively recontextualise & communicate strong & potent feelings of dread, despair & suffering that carry this entire concept album forward. It's incredible on that front, with its earliest highlight judas inside being remixed & featured as the closer of this mix, prefaced particularly by snippits of the songs directly sampled in that and its prior intro offline: HEALTH's New Coke and Genesis's Please Don't Ask.

Before you get to that incredibly explosive finale of that mix, you are first introduced to hauntingly elegant art pop from the likes of d'Eon & Nils Bech with some brilliant loops thrown into them, followed by even more breathtaking abstract electronica produced by Vaervaf, HELLCOM & Oneohtrix Point Never. After their crescendos, you're treated to a pair of frantic, eccentric & playful IDM beats provided by VHS Head & Extreme Animals before christtt uses all that came before this moment as a taste of what appeals & inspires his latest work at the time before happily guiding you in through the gates of Hell and taking you through the plunge.

This is an absolutely stellar mix, only 26 minutes in length and he spends that entire runtime showcasing his unique palette, his great ear for song editing, his seamless transitions and what marks one of the first true landmarks of his entire career as an artist & creative. Please give it a listen!

PETER PAN Oslo Nye Teater, Friday 11th October 2024 Ever since the first production of J M Barrie’s play in 1904, it has been traditional for the title role to be played by a woman — in stage productions at least — stemming from the pantomime convention of the Principal Boy.  This gender-swapping has led to many a queer reading of the play, with lesbian leanings running through it like…

Evening. Ah wow when you get a chance please listen to this song on You Tube. Its so beautiful. 'O Helga Natt' by Nils Bech. Its in my head as its Prince Lestat era, Loustat have their HEA, and they're sitting in church at Xmastime as Louis wanted to go and they're just listening to this guy sing this live and they look at eo full of love that they have eo forever after everything they've been through. They hold hands and Lestar gently strokes Louis hand 😭❤

Oh yes, very moving!!! 💕💕💕

Thank you so much for sharing!!!!

(And I can totally see that with their choir?!!! 😭)

VINGARNE (1916) dir. Mauritz Stiller A conniving countess comes between a gay sculptor, Claude Zoret, and his bisexual model and lover, Mikaël. The film is largely lost, with only half an hour surviving of the original 70-minute film. A restoration was made using still photos and title cards to bridge the missing sections in 1987. Based on Herman Bang's 1902 novel Mikaël, the same source for the 1924 film of the same name. (link in title)

Emoji ask game time!

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

And

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

Thanks for the ask @bluestringpudding!

🎶 I absolutely do! Most of my fics have their own playlists, and it makes writing much easier when you have the right music to accompany you. Recently, I have been listening to Jeg elsker han by Nils Bech on repeat 🥰

✨ My writing has evolved so much in the span of the two years that I have been writing in English! I was so scared of trying to write longer stories in a language that's not my first, and to have people read them and find all those mistakes, but now I'm not scared anymore and I feel like I've made a lot of progress since writing in different languages is just different!

Ask game rules are here!

Me: “I know O Holy Night in English, French, and Swedish”

@benjji2795 : “Why do you know O Holy Night in Swedish?”

Me: “Completely normal reasons, definitely not related to a gay TV show, that’s for sure.”
