Tuesday Oct 07, 2025

Tuesday Oct 07, 2025

This weeks guest is a force for positivity. People like him are what make rave communities in different parts of the country exciting and fun. Vibrant even. He writes for Best Drum & Bass, he throws raves with some of the most distinguished crews in his city, he has a popular Twitch channel, and he's just an overall vibe of a dude. Representing Proper Drum and Bass Chicago, please welcome Tonto. Links and tracklist belowThis  is an entirely acid (think 303 sounds from acid house at 174+ BPM) drum and bass mix dedicated to the Viva Acid crew in Chicago. Viva Acid is a cultural, social, and musical festival across select areas of the city that features multiple club nights that explore the history of this iconic sound, live panels of cultural mainstays in the rich music scene in Chicago. They also feature speakers, film, production workshops, and advice on networking in the city. Here are some of the featured topics: “Claiming Space, Shaping Culture” about how we can protext musical space and resist corporate takeover of these spaces, “Thriving Through Opposition: The Trans Experience”, and the “Ableton Playground” hosted by FEMME HOUSE.
Viva Acid occurs from Oct 2-5 2025 and will continue to run into the future. Consider connecting to the crew and lookout for recaps and recordings of some of these talks.

From Omen to LMNOP to Dialective, She has her finger on the pulse of our culture.  She's a premium selector and a fucking wicked DJ. Please welcome Reid Speed.

I have to work really hard to be some semblance of "put together" I'm kind of a neurotic mess. Every time I see this weeks guest, I always admire how he's just effortlessly cool. That energy carries into in his music too. He's one of thoe people that just radiates positive energy. His music and his mixtapes have his own distinct Ruffneck jungle sound and we just love it. Representing the Tampa Bay, please welcome back PopeJohn.Please enjoy❤️Back next week-Thomas
