OK obsessed with the swap ​​idea

- Does Jackson still get bullied?

- How is Holt's life in the monster world?

- How does the trigger work?

- What is their personality like in this world?

- How out of touch is Holt?

- Do they know about each other?

I would love a first days fanfic?

yo glad you like the au! I don’t have all the details set in place so sorry if things are a tad bit inconsistent but here we go! (Also sorry for the late reply I didn’t see the ask rip)

Bullying

-I feel that both of the boys would get bullied but in different ways and for different reasons, Jackson would be pushed around since he’s quite nerdy, so I feel manny still wouldn’t like him. However holt would probably just be excluded from things, or have rumours spread about him, but due to him being prone to fighting back it wouldn’t be direct bullying like it is for Jackson.

Holts life in the monster world

-Holt would still Dj however he’d most likely do it whilst in a disguise of some form, (even if it’s just a mask or some make up) as many monsters don’t trust him. He doesn’t like the fact he has to Hyde his identity but the extra money comes in handy.

Triggers

-This may change in the future but my current plan is to have Jackson be triggered by extreme silence. So there has to be near to no sounds for him to appear. As such the headphones double as extra noise if necessary or as music. I also thought about him being triggered by piano specifically alongside the silence trigger.

Personalities

-Holt: He’s a bit of a joker and pretty immature, he likes to just chill and have fun in life. However he is quite hot headed and can have a short temper. This pairs to mean people don’t trust him too well and don’t want to mess with him (well not directly at least, no one minds the anonymous pranks or rumours just as long as it doesn’t tie back to them).

-Jackson: He’s more reserved than his counterpart, preferring to follow rules and structure, unlike holt’s ‘rules were made to be broken’ mentality, he prefers to stay out of the public eye, whether it be due to not wanting people to find out his identity or avoiding the bullying (since I haven’t decided if people know about him and holt yet). His quiet nature means he can be quite the push over at times making him prime for taunts and attacks from his peers.

(Man I really gotta draw some art of Jackson interacting with people)

Out of touch?

-I’m not too sure what you mean by this, whether it be out of touch with monster culture, or out of touch in the sense of being isolated from his classmates. Either way due to his DJ-ing and being a student at MH he’s picked up a lot of monster slang and culture. And as for friends, he’s known Draculaura since before MH and managed to meet Frankie on his first day, so he isn’t alone there. In the au I’ll still have him be friends with a lot of the usual characters (e.g deuce heath frankie etc with some exceptions)

Do they know?

-As of joining MH definitely yes, but as kids their mother tired to keep it secret, as she doesn’t get along with her Hyde, as such it was a shock when during quiet time at school he burst into flames. Holt was quickly pulled from the school, switching between a mix of homeschooling, monster schools and normie schools. Usually not lasting long at any of them, due to his temper and monster side.

A fic?

-Maybe??????? I’m not too great of a writer, but I might work on a one shot or really short fic about it….someday? If I have the chance and people are interested in it I might take a crack at writing lmao

I hope that covers everything! I’m happy to answer any more questions people have on the au and I really appreciate all the support it’s got! (I really wasn’t expecting it lmao)

Anito Soul EPK

Anito Soul invites you to connect to something bigger than yourself, channeling ancestral and nature-based spirit energy through booming bass, ravaging breakbeats, off-kilter rhythms, and a mix of the enigmatic and familiar.

Anito Soul is the artist name of Michael Balangue, a Filipino-American from Tulsa, Oklahoma currently based in NYC. (Anito refers to ancestor spirits, nature spirits, and deities in the indigenous Philippine folk religions from the precolonial age to the present.) They are co-organizer of the creative collective planetqueer, and love building community through music, culture, and education. Their sound is multi-genre but rooted in jungle, footwork, hard drum, east coast club, world sounds, and anything bass- or breaks-heavy. 

Anito Soul has supported acts such as Sherelle & I. Jordan, Maya Jane Coles, UNiiQU3, Bianca Oblivion, Chippy Nonstop, Dazegxd, BAMBII, rEmPiT g0dDe$$, and many others. They play regularly across NYC venues like Elsewhere, Mood Ring, and Bossa Nova Civic Club, and have played across the U.S. and internationally at Apotheka in Manila, Philippines. They have released music on compilations such as FML Rave hosted by SUCIA! and Teklife’s DJ Manny and Filipino electronic music compilation Sounds Nais. They also host a bimonthly radio show called Trip Report on 8ball Radio and previously hosted a radio show on Half Moon Bk called BAKUNAWA FM.

PREMIERE: DJ Manny - Too High

If you don't know already, Misdigest - the blog / clubnight / label / radio show host / zine outlet first run out of Leeds, then London, now Barcelona - is probably one of the most genuine supporters of music culture going. For their long-gestating first release (dropping on the 1st of April) they've brought together a broad selection of tracks that goes some way in representing all the avenues Misdigest has explored since it's genesis back in 2011.

Chicago / Teklife mainstay DJ Manny comes through with a characteristically unembellished two and a half minutes, with a Stevie Wonder sample that sits front and centre atop a particularly raw beat. Whilst Too High initially allows the sample to unfold naturally, the introduction of the first few heavy kicks signals a move from the track's laid back, sun bleached daze towards a slightly uneasy descent. It isn't long before the paranoia hits, the mix balloons under the weight of the sub and DJ Manny starts tenderizing Stevie into hard, angular, rolling shapes that mirror the atmosphere of nausea before letting the anxious mood release and the smooth tones of 1970s bass rise back up to the surface. 

I did my best to match those switch ups in the video.

For the visual I stole: The videos for Part Time Lover and I Just Called To Say I Love You / Portrait of Jennie (1948) / Neon Parallel 1996 by Jon Rafman / Adverts for airlines that had CG clouds in them / Footage of Mount Bromo erupting / Footage captured by cloud tracking robots / a Nam June Paik video artwork / Dak & Bun - Beat 27 by Miko Revereza / Trite glass-smashing renders / Some videos shot by Misbah himself (these more of a gift than a robbery)

Delete If Not Allowed [MISDIGEST001] will be released on 01/04/2017 with tracks from Masaki Uchida, Aerotonin, DJ Manny & Dellity.

DJ Manny assumes control of traffic signals, announces Greenlight LP on TEKLIFE

The next time somebody boasts to you about their multitasking ability as they spill coffee all over the place trying to juggle cup, cell phone, and a blow-up doll of Jon Hamm; kindly point out the far-greater multitasking prowess of any number of footworkers — but especially DJ Manny, because he’s thoroughly established on the front of excelling at multiple…fronts simultaneously. He’s reportedly “one of the best dancers on the scene.” And, to complement that distinction, he’s also shown a persistent inclination to get behind both the mic (as an MC) and the mixing board (the late DJ Rashad’s tutelage clearly compelled the Harvey, IL, native to “be his best self” when it comes aiding the recent cultural hallmark that originated in the vicinity). DJ Manny’s been affiliated with the influential TEKLIFE crew at least since I’ve been familiar with the outfit (say, since the 2012 release of TEKLIFE Vol. 1), and now, he and his many hands are at it again. Careful, Manny, some of us are ticklish! His new LP, Greenlight, is due out October 6, serving as the fifth release for the recently greenlit TEKLIFE Records. Greenlight reportedly has a special quality, due to DJ Manny’s dancing chops (which helped with the production); and likewise, that’s him again delivering a memorable flow on at least one of the tracks. Fellow TEKLIFE-r and prior collaborator, DJ Taye, also assists on no less than half of the tracks, so if you appreciated their earlier shoutout to Zion, for instance, you might be overjoyed subsequent to listening to this release. Here’s where you can pre-order. And “right down there” is where you can hear the track “Ghost Out.” But please: finish answering your emails and painting your fingernails first. Remember: unless you’re DJ Manny, ONE THING AT TIME. Greenlight tracklisting: 01. Way You Move (feat. DJ Chap) 02. You Looking Good (feat. Sucia) 03. Like That 04. Zancrash (feat. DJ Taye) 05. Boop Me Down (feat. DJ Lucky) 06. Ghost Out 07. I’ll Hurt Ya Baby (feat. DJ Lucky and DJ Taye) 08. Life In This Bitch (feat. DJ Taye) 09. If U Want It (feat. DJ Taye) 10. Greenlight (Wanna Go) (feat.

This month was an exploration into an idea initially explored in September 2021 centered around this idea of music that represents the future. It was tied more deeply, though, to the type of experience that connects immigrants, immigrant kids, and people of color and attempting to pin it down. It was my first time living in my apartment in Chinatown during the Lunar New Year and there was an air of celebration around me. It was nice feeling connected to a celebration of culture; despite only having a small amount of Chinese heritage, being in that jovial space and feeling connected to it through that thing that links all of us POCs was special.

February also saw the return to live DJing as places were starting to feel more comfortable opening up again. We had our Cosmoglitch party at Purgatory and to this day it remains one of the most fun DJ sets I’ve ever done. I went b2b with Lissoms and people were dancing so hard the whole time. We also had our planetqueer fresh beginnings party at Bar Jade which I closed out, playing from 3-4am. It was really fun going deep for that set and having a solid crowd still there for the end. We packed out Bar Jade that night, and it was a super validating experience as a DJ as well as an organizer for planetqueer.

The vibe for this month fully formed after seeing Four Tet do a surprise show at Nowadays on Sunday, February 20th. After the show, my friend Emil and I stayed up until the sun rose and talked about “the thing.” It’s hard to describe, but it’s the feeling you get when you’re around another POC/queer person/working class person or whatever where you don’t have to explain yourself. It’s that shared understanding that we’re a new generational wave that bears the weight of survival trauma in addition to the need to self-actualize. The Year of the Space Tiger represents that courageous push towards the future to define a new reality built for us, by us.

In previous months, I increasingly turned to music for guidance, comfort, truth, and therapy. In October, I submitted to the music completely. It became all-consuming, and I filled my brain space with unending tunes, either listening to music in headphones, mixing songs with my DJ controller, or dancing at a live show. There were a variety of reasons I became so engrossed, but the main driver was twofold: purpose and performance.

Coming out of September, I was dealing with a lot of difficulties surrounding grief and loss. I used music as therapy in September, but in October I began to use music to give my life a tangible meaning. For the first time, music gave me something to work towards. I was no longer just a consumer, but I was on my way to becoming a contributor. It clicked for me that I had opportunities to share my own creativity within music through DJing and live performance. I started planning events with a few friends, building a community we called planetqueer. It started as a party with drag performances and DJ sets, and it was a chance for me to perform live quickly after getting into DJing. 

For my first performance, I crafted a set with specific themes around my own identity; I wanted to express what the Ifugao persona represented to me. This meant drawing upon music evocative of the jungle, my indigenous Filipino roots and anti-colonial sentiments. I went on a hike early in the month and spending that time in nature rejuvenated me. I listened to Avalon Emerson’s DJ-Kicks and some of Octo Octa’s albums; the natural sounds resonated with me. I had a primal hunger, and the music had to represent that. 

On the day of the planetqueer party, it was cold and rainy so we moved the event inside our friend’s apartment. It was great for the drag performances and it was incredible seeing how engaged everyone was. I started my set, though, and got a little worried. I didn’t feel like it would hit as well being indoors, but I went for it anyway. Shortly after I started, the rain cleared up and we moved the event upstairs to the roof. Being outside felt right! I began my set. It was crafted around the lane of dance music that represented me: not so much techno or house, but drum & bass, jungle, and breaks. To my surprise, people were actually into it. They were dancing the whole time, filming me, asking for track IDs, and genuinely having fun. At the apex of the set, as I was playing the most chaotic and high intensity song (Ripgroove), the wind matched in intensity, blowing so hard that the canopy covering the DJ set up started flying away. People were scrambling to weigh it down as the track orchestrated the maelstrom. It was epic.

After that, I was totally charged up. The rest of the month was dedicated to performing or consuming music. Shortly after the planetqueer party, I went to see a surprise LCD Soundsystem DJ set at Good Room, and a few days after that some friends and I went to Miami for the iiiPoints music festival where I got to see some of my favorite artists and DJs. I saw the Strokes in the rain, crowd chanted Peggy Gou’s name, had a spiritual experience at Jamie xx’s set, was reminded of the importance of community and respect seeing the Wu-Tang Clan, and danced through a mind-boggling back-to-back rave run of John Tejada, AceMoMA, Kaytranada, and Robert Hood to close out the festival. That same week, I also somehow spontaneously decided to see JPEGMAFIA tour his incredible new album and had Yves Tumor melt my face off on consecutive days. Both nights I moshed harder than I ever had before, and it was so worth it. 

On the Friday after that, we pulled off hosting a one-off planetqueer Halloween back-to-back DJ set between me and my friend Holden, aka Lissoms. Playing b2b brought out the best in both of us, and we delivered a killer set that had people dancing until the very end. With the very last of my energy, I decided I would attempt to last as long as I could for Nowadays’ Halloween nonstop weekend, which was the last Mister Sunday party of the season. It was a space and community that had given so much to me, so I wanted to take in every last bit of it. I donned my skeleton costume and signature frog hat (this time in white, going as a skeleton frog) and submitted to the rave. Every set blew my mind; particularly WTCHCRFT’s bouncy witching hours set, MoMA Ready’s emo sunrise liquid DnB set and the legend Todd Edwards’ sunny UKG set. By the time Mister Sunday was happening I was fully a husk, barely able to move or speak (I lost my voice at some point). The music kept me going, though, and as day turned to night I said goodbye to the Mister Sunday season which had given me so much this year.

I didn’t fully complete this mix until December, but all the tracks I either used during my set at PQ, the Hallowb2bn set with Lissoms, or were songs I heard live. It made sense for this mix to be a sequel to The Rise of the Disco Samurai, as it brought forward a lot of the themes I explored in that mix. The Rise of the Disco Samurai was my first foray into mixing and narrative-building, and The Return of the Disco Samurai was the manifestation of that character in my first live set. If The Rise of the Disco Samurai was the Disco Samurai dealing with feelings of being displaced and disconnected from his roots, the Return of the Disco Samurai is the Disco Samurai fully embracing where he came from and unapologetically living out his culture.
