Ike Release / EPISODES

Presenting a new album, Waterproof, by Ike Release on his EPISODES label. Over the 10 track LP, Ike reconciles his early experiences during the late 90s/early 00s enamored by the off-world sounds of drum and bass/jungle, UKG, and 90s electronica, alongside his more local influences of Chicago with the US Midwest, and current residence within the NYC underground. What results is an active yet meditative experience beginning at one point in time, referencing other points across the continuum, and arriving in places perhaps uncommon and initially unexpected. User-crafted sounds for today and beyond... 💧Out May 11th on Apple Music and streaming and download. Purchases directly on EPISODES Bandcamp

Back at it with another edition of the long-running yet latent Into The Void mix series. The world is moving fast, but we keep plugging away on the creative tip when we can. If I get one in this year, it’s a blessing with my schedule every week. I can still make some music from time to time, and this one includes a small handful of tracks I’ve put together this past year or so. Enjoy.

My better late than never Honcho Campout 2025 post for the forever grid! What can be said that hasn’t already been attempted to be put into words about this magnificent and one-of-a-kind event. This year I had the distinct pleasure of returning to the staff running the morning-afternoon portion of Hemlock Hole, which needless to say, played host to a number of key highlights and memorable moments for the event as a (w)hole. Being up early while many were snuggled up in their tents to set up the stage came at the expense of my wanton party mode and sense of fomo. There were bursts of intense concentration and breathwork being done in making the experience a smooth and solid trip throughout for the DJs, performers, and the dancefloor. But looking out and seeing faces full of joy, awe, and the occasional tears filled me with immense pride over the relatively modest part that I play. Thanks again to the @honchopgh @chriscruse and @mikeswells for having me back this year. Thanks to Gwen @heylibuse , Violet @_lunarflux , Kai and the One Source team @kaifelsman @onesourceproductions and the HH hospitality crew for their care and support during the day. And to everyone who came up to me and showed some love and appreciation for the work we all do in making that magic happen. Y’all mf’ers danced your asses off, made noise, and made this an incredible memory that I’ll never forget! Until next year! 😝🥵🤪💋🌈
