Infinite Contact: Music for Away Missions

Infinite Contact: Music for Away Missions. theo2 (Aug 28, 2024)

Hosted by DJ t.h.e.o.2

We are far from home, and must leave the safety of the mother ship for an Away Mission on a mysterious exoplanet. But we are not Captain Piccard, Counsellor Troi, or even Ensign Harry Kim...who met with all sorts of trouble on various Away Missions. We are an ensign the writers did not bother to name, because we are not coming back alive in the familiar sense. In this live mix, we explore the menace and spectacle of unknowable worlds and strange landscapes, alienated from our surroundings. Our only hope: establish contact with the infinite. 

Two hours of rare and obscure progressive electronic synthscapes from tapes and records from the 80s, selected, blended, and mixed live by resident alien and metamorph, DJ theo2, on two four-track cassette players, two turntables, and two headphones. This set-up necessitated theo2 grow two extra arms and two extra ears, which was not a problem whatsoever. 

Autogenerated tracklist is incomplete and inaccurate. Seek out extrasensory communication channels with me for more info about der nacht music.    

ABOUT: Live vinyl and cassette blends to melt the exoskeleton and see through your T2 frame. Broadcasting deep from the quasar mindpiece of DJ t.h.e.o.2 and his top knowledge on the phonograph. Excavating weak genres to reveal the real. All selections shall forever Bump & empirical empires shall forever Fall!

REAL BIO: Entrepreneur and carnosaur, DJ t.h.e.o.2 was dubbed the “Prince of Records” in 1976 by Disco King Mario and helped invent the “deadly live wire” scratch technique. During the 80s, after gaining fame throughout, dealt with inner demons. Now, after 20 years out of sight & out of Mind, the Man is back, in Full Force & stronger than Ever! With over 2.6 million records, this Man is still the “Prince of Records!”
