The Love Virus on The DJ Sessions presents the "Secret Sessions" 8/14/20 About The Love Virus - The LoveVirus is a much-loved mainstay of the Seattle electronic music community and has been dosing dance floors with a healthy helping of house for over a decade. . The LoveVirus creates music that makes you more than dance- it makes you love. You have been infected. As a founding member of Seattle Crew 1 LUV, The LoveVirus has led troupes of dance hungry fiends across deserts and forests in search of butt shaking beats up and down the West Coast. 1LUV is well known locally for throwing community-based dance events in support of Seattle artists and the electronic music culture of the city- and having a hell of a time doing it. The LoveVirus has slammed such parties as Seattle's Decibel Festival 07-08, Epidural, Fenix Fest, SIDW, Magnetic/Kinetic, Spy, Broken Disco, Gemini Party, XXX-mas, and Urban Revival (Portland Bus Party), touching many people's hearts in the process with his love for the community he moves. This in-demand DJ has shared the stage with Innerflight, Shameless, Produkt, DJ Heather, and novaTRON and is also a former resident of Uniting Souls. Wth his residency at the popular bi-monthly, P.E.O.P.L.E at Monkey Loft, the LoveVirus commands the dance floor with seamless mixing and on-point track selection, dropping sets of pounding house that are aggressively inspiring and guarantee you will walk off the dance floor with a smile on your face, ready to spread the epidemic of music euphoria. This is no passing bug; this is the LoveVirus. His music is fatal to empty dance floors and stale sets everywhere, and there is no vaccine- only love.

Raised in both Boulder, Colorado and Ibiza, Spain, Kate followed a natural inclination towards creating intercultural expressions in order to build new platforms.

She has executed hundreds of successful events, both large scale and local/private, over the course of the last fifteen years. The Communikey Festival, which Kate founded and directed, lead her to involvement with festival networks that span the globe. These include Decibel Festival, MUTEK Montreal, Club Transmediale Berlin, Unsound Krakow, and ICAS, to name a few. With a unique understanding of diplomacy, the music industry, and curation, Kate continues to facilitate sustainable systems, safe spaces, and interpersonal growth via community connectedness. She is well-versed in talent buying, budgeting, building code and compliance, US immigration bureaucracy, and pre-/post-production.  In this episode, you'll hear: Why Kate got involved in community The role empathy in Kate’s work Kate’s draw to creative community What Kate learned from CMKY How creative arts lead to personal transformation Kate’s experience at Meow Wolf Kate’s take on why Mutek has maintained it’s integrity How franchise models can potentially scale creative projects What Kate learned from supporting the community affected by the 2016 Oakland warehouse fire Kate’s advice for people who want to create creative community

Here's a quote from Tim: "it was a bit of an experiment for me, and i think it was successful. the set is comprised of modular re-edited sections of completed and un-finished tracks, a healthy dose of effects chains, and reflects a lot of the tones, rhythms and textures i’ve been working with over the past year or so."

Those in Montreal know a thing or 2 about winter and the snow that comes with it. They also know a thing or 2 about our guest this week, Patti Schmidt. If you don't know, from 1995 to 2006, Patti hosted a show on CBC radio called "Brave New Waves", which I would listen to religiously when I was living in Detroit thanks to a Windsor relay station that would beam her through my radio. Oh, the wonderful music I was turned onto from this program. Her tastes were always so broad, and she would give plenty of background on the artists and releases. The show was such a great resource for finding fantastic new music, and I miss the show dearly. I had the pleasure of finally putting a face to the voice while she and I were both at Decibel Festival in Seattle in 2009, where we met and very quickly became friends. When she agreed to do an edition for Snowprayers, I was beside myself with joy and am extremely pleased to present it to you now! So, thanks so much, Patti and thank you for listening!

Ladies & gentlemen, we are back! We're gonna kick off the season with some of the editions I didn't get around to publishing before the hiatus. First up is a DAMN fine mix from a buddy of mine in San Francisco who goes by the name Robert Mozaic. He's a singer and songwriter who got sidetracked by 808's and dark warehouses... which we all know those things are cheaper than a therapy. :) In Rob's words: "I had just gone through a bit of a broken heart sorta thing, the mix was kind of a letter I never sent (or rather made in its place). I titled it "Have a nice summer, don't ever change" because the mix reminded me of the kind of mixtapes a lot of us gave or were given back in the day. That and the title had a very different meaning to me privately... and to the person who will never get that letter..." The circumstances in which I met Rob were pretty funny. It was during his set at the closing after-party for Decibel Festival 2009 up in Seattle. I had gone to catch up with J-Phlip, but she had become quite ill and didn't make it over there. I was quite tipsy and was feeling the itch to play some records since she wasn't coming. But, I didn't want to just go up and push him off the decks. Everyone was telling me "No... It's OK! Rob is extremely cool and is probably done anyhow!" but I didn't believe them. Before I knew it, somehow, the plan was in motion and I looked up at Rob and sure enough... he had a look on his face of "No... seriously... I've been playing longer than I planned and would like to stop. Please feel free to jump in here." So, I did! We set up the turntables, and Rob graciously stepped away. I just remember thinking to myself "wow... this guy seems really nice"! And now, no trip to San Francisco feels complete unless I make some kind of contact with him. He's an excellent DJ, incredibly nice guy and definitely has great taste in all forms of music, as you will surely be able to tell from this edition. So, grab yourself a cup of hot chocolate and kick back and relax to this wonderful group of selections by Rob. Sidenote: Thank you all for your kind words in the absence of the series. It's been really nice to hear all of the kind words of appreciation. I'm glad so many of you appreciate it as much as I love putting it out. I will definitely try to be more consistent this time around. :) Also, we're going to go with the delayed tracklist again. I think it's an overall better experience if you don't know what's coming in the mix. Tracklists will be posted the following week when a new edition is posted. OK, that should cover it! Thanks again to Rob for the mix, as well as the patience. And, as always, thank YOU for listening!
