“The creation and sharing of music is such a ridiculously fickle and fluid thing.” Interviews with Clearcast and Chrissy
Ahead of our next club night at Mothership, this special edition of the newsletter includes interviews with the co-headling DJ/producers Chrissy and Clearcast
We’re so excited for our club night at Mothership this Saturday!
Ahead of the show, we’re sharing special interviews with the co-headliners Chrissy and Clearcast in this week’s newsletter. We’ll be back with reviews next week.
See you at Mothership!

CHRISSY FEATURE
Chrissy has been making music for two decades now and has run several music labels, the latest being Maximum Airtime. In addition to being an encyclopedia of dance music, he has one of the biggest smiles on the DJ circuit. Though he made a big name for himself with juke and footwork coming out of Chicago, he’s more recently released big bouncey classic rave anthems.
CLEARCAST FEATURE
Hear all about Clearcast’s rapid rise, the local artists that inspire them, and what it was like opening for Skrillex and Fred Again at a huge rave at Civic Center in SF.
