RYAN SCANNURA (Deep Club)
Unlike most of my mixes on the Internet, I recorded this one at home instead of at a party. I didn't plan any of it; I was picking records up off my floor as I went. This was just a few days after the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, and I had been listening to MFSB and Love is the Message a lot, so I put that on first, not even intending on mixing anything after. This spontaneous two-hour vinyl mix ensued.
At the time, the floor of my apartment was littered with Detroit house, techno, and electro records that I recently had bought at Submerge and Detroit Threads when I was there for Movement. Lots of UR classics and Detroit house that I found there. Also some stuff still lingering from my recent visits to Gramaphone and Logan Hardware (Chicago) and a few shops in NYC. I think the mix captures my style pretty well, both in terms of selection and presentation. I don't like sticking to any one style of music when I play records. The mix includes deep and jacking house, disco, acid, electro, and techno.
This mix also captures a moment in time -- a time when I was simultaneously feeling down about what had just happened in Orlando and my rather disappointing time in Detroit a few weeks prior; it was my sixth consecutive year going to Detroit during festival weekend, but my first time skipping the festival. I spent a lot of time alone that weekend, and a lot of the music at the parties did not speak to me. It's hard when a lot of your friends are having "the best weekend of the year" and are quite vocal about it, and you're in a completely different headspace.
This mix is the result of time reflecting on dark events happening in my country and in my life over the past several months.
