PUTF Podcast — Season 4, Episode 7 featuring Josh Cheon

Josh Cheon grew up in northern New Jersey, just outside New York City where he spent his weekends dancing at goth clubs and digging for records. He moved to San Francisco in 2006 and joined gay DJ collective Honey Soundsystem from 2007 to 2017. His love of underground ‘80s music pushed him to start Dark Entries in 2009, a record label specializing in reissuing lost music from that era as well as contemporary bands referencing those analog sounds.

PUTF Podcast — Season 4, Episode 6 featuring Barbie Bertisch & Paul Raffaele

Love Injection is variously known as a publication, a radio show, a DJ partnership, production duo, and a record label. Co-founded by Barbie Bertisch and Paul Raffaele in 2015 as a monthly print fanzine, Love Injection’s continued multi-faceted expansion and evolution reflects the ongoing process of celebrating people and culture, seeking to fill in the gaps of dance music and nightlife culture’s untold stories and histories, and bring new perspectives to familiar ones.

The pair host the Love Injection radio show on NYC’s beloved online radio institution, The Lot Radio, on the air every Saturday morning since February 2016. This sonic extension of Love Injection the print fanzine provides the duo, and their occasional esteemed guest hosts, the latitude to explore sounds unrestricted by the demands of the nocturnal dance floor. The newest branch of the Love Injection family tree is its record label, Love Injection Records. Conceptually, the label lives and operates with similarly fluid aesthetics, with one foot in the dance world and one outside of it.

Counter to the modern trend of increasingly short DJ sets that leave little room for texture and nuance, Barbie and Paul’s preferred mode of DJing is the all-nighter – an extended journey/narrative with a beginning, middle, and end.

Native to New York City, musclecars is a DJ / Producer duo consisting of Brandon Weems and Craig Handfield. As musicians, they nod to great classic and soulful dance music, but with their added twists of transcendental jazz, deep elements, and cinematic mood. They also run the NYC staple party Coloring Lessons (now also a record label and radio show), pulling on a musical lineage passed down by the generations before them, and influenced by their black and brown ancestors. They aim to spread the music that has been influential to them, and share it with a younger generation of their peers.

Guarionex Rodriguez, Jr. is a Dominican-American artist based in Brooklyn, NY. He received a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2011. His work explores the ways in which diasporic unity and niche musical movements have served in the creation of community and identity in the recent past and present. Simultaneously, he experiments with analog techniques to bring elements of abstraction to his figurative images. This manual practice heightens the intimacy of his work while additionally asking himself and the viewer to consider the ways in which we influence and are influenced by our surroundings. 

Rodriguez has been featured in various publications including Forgotten Lands, Hola Pardo, It’s Nice That, and Musée Magazine. Currently exhibiting at Busan’s Museum of Contemporary Art. He has been selected as a finalist for Aperture’s 2023 Portfolio Prize, a finalist for Lucie Foundation 2023 Open Call, and long listed for Foam Talent Call 2023.

TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pickuptheflow

Dreamcrusher is a New York City-based musician and artist, who describes the project as 'nihilist queer revolt musik.' Dreamcrusher’s work is at once personal and abstract, revealing and antagonistic; performances and recordings shift between genres while subjecting the characteristic elements—melodies, beats, instrumentation—to distortion until the point of transformation. Dreamcrusher has released dozens of recordings with labels such as PTP, Fire Talk, and Corpus, as well as on Bandcamp and other online platforms. Dreamcrusher is also a member of the duo Centennial Gardens with King Vision Ultra.

“Unfortunately I’m navigating 2024 unemployed and overdrawn… in desperate need of kind donations yet again. I hate asking, and I hate how hard I’ve worked this past year with little to no yield (and I’m definitely not the only one). I hope that the work I have coming this year truly supplements my life in a real way. Twenty-one years in now! THIS YEAR WILL BE BETTER FOR US ALL!!!

Relaxer is the project of Daniel Martin-McCormick, fka Ital, member of Black Eyes & Gaze, ex-Mi Ami, Halal & Relaxer, Sleeper Cell, Interplanetary Prophets, and more. Rooted in the US punk/noise underground of the late '90s and early 2000s, Martin-McCormick's music embodies a sensual, visceral edge that reflects and extends that legacy. His hardware live sets, honed over a decade of tours, are exhilarating, white knuckle rides, while his DJ sets fluidly cross genres and eras with a cathartic sense of play.

He's been a repeat performer at Berghain (where the Relaxer project made its live debut), De School, Unsound, Nowadays and many others. On albums "Concealer" (Planet Mu), "Coconut Grove" (Avenue 66) and "Hedonic Fatigue" (Climate of Fear), his productions stretch out, weaving strands of wormhole techno, minimal, noise, UK hardcore continuum and fractured ambient into a rippling, mesmeric tapestry. Recent club-focused EPs "Licking" and "Candy" (Lovers Rock Recordings) sharpen the blade, amping up his music's animialstic snarl and erotic undertones. 

Following his recent composition studies with Morton Subotnick, Relaxer's music has evolved a new modality: alongside his club works there have been concerts of long form durational works featuring spoken word and richly spatialized sound design. His debut performance in this new style was a standout at Sustain-Release Year Seven. These works were released in the Summer of 2022 as "Force Field: A Guide for the Perplexed" on Club Night Club. "In Softening Air," the follow up, is out on Lovers Rock Recordings April 1st. 

Behind the scenes, Martin-McCormick has been a consistent force shaping the US underground. He is the co-founder of Dripping camping festival and NY-based event series. He was a key member of Sustain-Release from its inception and co-director from 2017-2021, founded the labels Lovers Rock Recordings & Climate of Fear, was one of the first residents at Bossa Nova Civic Club. He currently holds residencies at The Lot Radio and Mansions.

Meriem Bennani  (b. 1988 in Rabat, Morocco) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Juxtaposing and mixing the language of reality TV, documentaries, phone footage, animation, and high production aesthetics, she explores the potential of storytelling while amplifying reality through a strategy of magical realism and humour. She has been developing a shape-shifting practice of films, sculptures and immersive installations, composed with a subtle agility to question our contemporary society and its fractured identities, gender issues and ubiquitous dominance of digital technologies. Bennani’s work has been shown at the Whitney Biennale, MoMA PS1, Art Dubai, The Vuitton Foundation in Paris, Public Art Fund, CLEARING and The Kitchen in New York. Her animated series, 2 Lizards, a collaboration with director Orian Barki, premiered on Instagram during Spring 2020 and was described by The New York Times as “hypnotic…deploying a blend of documentary structure and animation surrealism…both poignantly grounded in actual events and also soothingly fantastical” and its animated protagonists “art stars.” (Jon Caramanica, April 2020)

James Hoff is an artist living and working in New York. His work encompasses a variety of media, including sound, video, painting, and publishing.

Hoff’s multidisciplinary approach begins at the user level—the level at which we interact with consumer technologies, media, and data. He has worked with computer viruses, inaudible data signals, ear worms, culture bound illnesses, dead zones, and hacked google maps as tools and framing devices for works that reimagine and expand the creative potential of digital and cultural networks beyond their economic and corporate-engineered use value.

By exploiting and manufacturing technological and cognitive glitches, Hoff illuminates the social, political, and historical context of the software and media that we interact with on a daily basis.

Hoff co-founded Primary Information in 2006 to publish historical and contemporary artists’ books. The organization has published hundreds of titles, including facsimile editions of Art-Rite, Broken Music, Black Art Notes, Cornelius Cardew’s Stockhausen Serves Imperialism, Godzilla: Asian American Art Network, The New Woman’s Survival Catalog, and Womens Work as well as new works by Lawrence Abu Hamdan, DeForrest Brown Jr, Tony Conrad, Dara Birnbaum, Constance DeJong, Alexandro Segade, Martine Syms, and Flora Yin-Wong, among many others.

Asif Mian’s art practice explores how events are perceived, processed, and passed on. Asif Mian has devoted much of his career—via video, installation, performance, and sculpture—to investigating the tenuous connections between the events that shape one’s life. Informed by science, mythology, and transcendentalism, Mian's breaking down and rearranging of medium evokes a liminal psychological space, where the “ghosts” of events and the mental processing of violence reside.

Mian earned a BS Genetics & BA Studio Art from Drew University, and an MFA from Columbia University (2018).

GENG PTP is a Manhattan-born, Queens NYC-based sound practitioner (producer, poet/vocalist, sound engineer, DJ), educator, archivist, visual designer, organizer, and physical trainer. With 3+ decades of participatory roots in NYC's underground music/DIY communities, he has been making work through a multitude of solo and collaborative processes. Most currently, he performs as KING VISION ULTRA (est. 2017), a channeling project considering memory and voice as quantum weaponry in relation to honoring/making/taking space, the archive (remembrance), and protecting the spirit. In January 2023, he released his fourth album as KVU, 'SHOOK WORLD,' featuring 16 collaborators + Algiers (Atlanta, GA). He also makes up half of Centenny Gz, a duo with Dreamcrusher.

GENG's organizing and coalition work expands to the visionary collective and label, PTP (Protect The Peace / Purple Tape Pedigree), which he established in 2009. As "counter-industrial purveyors of weaponized media," PTP stands to create space for us.

Bio: Raised in Karachi, Pakistan, Dynoman is credited as being an instrumental piece in the formation and development of the Karachi underground & Pakistan electronic music scene. He has been producing electronic music under the Dynoman moniker since 2009, and co-founded Forever South, Pakistan’s first ever internationally recognized digital label in 2012. Over the years his sound has evolved with his experiences, remaining rhythm, percussion and forward focused. After moving to New York in 2017, Dynoman founded Rare Frequency Transmissions which he co-runs to this day. He is a frequent DJ in the Brooklyn underground and self releases most of his projects under the Dynoman Music label, to showcase the breadth of style and genre his productions harness. When he steps in the booth, his sets are unique to each performance, often having no idea what he will play, instead chasing the feeling of the moment that is being created in that instance.

GENG PTP is a NYC-born and based sound practitioner (DJ, producer, poet/vocalist), educator, archivist, organizer, writer, sound engineer, visual artist, and physical trainer. Since 2017, he has been making music as King Vision Ultra, as well as partaking in a handful of collaborative projects - Centennial Gardens (w/ Dreamcrusher), Sour Vision (w/ Sour Spirit), Other Icon (w/ YATTA & Via App), Wormwatcher (w/ Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste), and some yet to be named coming in the near future. Much of GENG's work as King Vision Ultra deals with memory, archiving, self-actualization, and trauma.

GENG's organizing and coalition work expands to the artist collective and label, PTP aka Purple Tape Pedigree aka Power Thru People, which he has been heading since 2009. As "counter-industrial purveyors of weaponized media," PTP stands to disrupt ideas around traditionalism and pseudo-economy (among other things). For over a decade, the label has released the work of many sound and visual creators both in the digital realm and in physical form as cassettes, vinyl, books, and garments. PTP is form over genre, every day.

✨Class Registration “Found Sound” (Sampling History & Sonic Lineage)✨

https://tinyurl.com/foundsound0322

This is a 5-part (5 session) conversation around sampled sound with GENG PTP. He will speak on the natural origins of sampling and its developments through time and technology, the innovations of Hip Hop as they have revolutionized the sampling practice, copyright law and sampling music, transforming sound, and quite a bit more within.

The PUTF Show - Episode 18 / TYGAPAW

TYGAPAW grew up as Dion McKenzie in Mandeville, Jamaica. Today, the Artist,

producer, DJ and label owner resides in Brooklyn, New York, where they have spent the

better part of a decade uplifting frequencies representative of the Black electronic music

diaspora. Their sonic palette—informed by the dancehall of their hometown as much as

it is the techno emanating from the warehouses of Detroit—has made them an

indispensable figure in Brooklyn's electronic music scene.

Since 2014, McKenzie has been carving spaces in New York for queer people of color

through their queer club night, and now label, Fake Accent. The platform is part of their

broader mission to forge liberating spaces for marginalized people, particularly Black,

queer and trans people, an agenda embedded in the various layers of the artist's work.

Early records like the breakthrough EP Handle With Care (2019), Ode To Black Trans

Lives (2020) and their debut album, Get Free (2020) established McKenzie not only as

a skillful producer, but further as an emotive storyteller. Through their production, they

are known to weave together stories of queer immigrant life, radical self-preservation

and Black communal joy.

Their music, much like New York, is a cultural stew made vibrant by influences as local

as New York's ballroom community and as distant as Berlin's hard techno circuit. In

2021, one of techno's most vital institutions, the Berlin venue and record label Tresor,

enlisted MacKkenzie to contribute to their 30th anniversary compilation, where the

musician was in the company of techno luminaries like fellow contributors Juan Atkins,

K-HAND and Robert Hood. In 2022, McKenzie brought their visionary take on techno to

life with a three-part techno opera, Devil Woman (Obeah Woman)—the first iteration of

which premiered at New York's The Chocolate Factory Theater, and Queens Museum

before the project traveled to Berlin.

2023, TYGAPAW's second album love has never been a popular movement, was

released on fabric Originals in the spring. This album is a special one for several

reasons: It's the first album the musician produced with hardware rather than Ableton,

their first record that features their vocals prominently and it also sees McKenzie try

their hand at songwriting. In eight tracks that hopscotch across atmospheric techno and

East Coast club, love has never been a popular movement addresses, with unshakable

confidence, fierce self-love and TYGAPAW's journey as a Jamaican reckoning with their

trans identity.
