absci radio 1130 – js alvarez + chris widman

JS ALVAREZ (RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT) guest mix + new music from IKONIKA, HØST + LOKUA on this ABSTRACT SCIENCE podcast, hosted by CHRIS WIDMAN. For the first hour, the JS ALVAREZ guest mix begins with deep, dubwise percussive selections, and gradually becomes more dancefloor oriented, touching on elements of techno, Chicago house, synth disco + even a bit of new wave. WIDMAN continues into hour two in an uptempo dancefloor vein—techno, electro + breakbeat—followed by a decent into futuristic dancehall + experimental bass grooves. JS ALVAREZ is a Chicago DJ and founder of the Research & Development, a music series at Smartbar Chicago that has excelled at integrating new sounds, talents + audiences—in both the form of live performances + DJ sets—into the traditional club environment. Displaced by the pandemic to virtual spaces, they have launched a mix series + regular streaming events on twitch.com, recently celebrating 3 years with a marathon 12 hour session.
