Underground Stalwart DJ Spider Drops a Bewitching Mix for Cultivated Sound

Devoted underground producer, DJ Spider, has made a bewitching hardware-heavy mix for Brooklyn party Cultivated Sound to celebrate their upcoming one year anniversary, which he will headline with L.I.E.S.-affiliate Vereker. New Yorker Rob Hampton has put out an impressive amount of music since beginning his career in 2008—Discogs has it at 50 releases—and he also runs a label, Plan B Recordings. With all that material to choose from, and of course the musical command of a real auteur, it makes sense that he'd want to do a mix that almost solely featured his own productions, remixes, or tracks on his label.

The result is an all-vinyl affair composed of ghostly analog synths, degraded drum machines, hypnotizing rhythmic noise, and a melodic disposition that's in turn depressive, aggressive, and jazz-influenced. The one year anniversary party will go down at a currently-undisclosed Brooklyn warehouse, and will also feature sets from Public System Recordings affiliates Myn and Grey People, and more.
