AJS#141 Tonto

This weeks guest is a force for positivity. People like him are what make rave communities in different parts of the country exciting and fun. Vibrant even. He writes for Best Drum & Bass, he throws raves with some of the most distinguished crews in his city, he has a popular Twitch channel, and he's just an overall vibe of a dude. Representing Proper Drum and Bass Chicago, please welcome Tonto. Links and tracklist below This  is an entirely acid (think 303 sounds from acid house at 174+ BPM) drum and bass mix dedicated to the Viva Acid crew in Chicago. Viva Acid is a cultural, social, and musical festival across select areas of the city that features multiple club nights that explore the history of this iconic sound, live panels of cultural mainstays in the rich music scene in Chicago.  They also feature speakers, film, production workshops, and advice on networking in the city. Here are some of the featured topics: “Claiming Space, Shaping Culture” about how we can protext musical space and resist corporate takeover of these spaces, “Thriving Through Opposition: The Trans Experience”, and the “Ableton Playground” hosted by FEMME HOUSE. Viva Acid occurs from Oct 2-5 2025 and will continue to run into the future. Consider connecting to the crew and lookout for recaps and recordings of some of these talks. Please enjoy❤️ back next week -Thomas  https://www.vivaacid.com/ @viva.acid on IGLinks: [email protected] for article inquiries and promo @tontodnb for IG facebook.com/jonathan.laxton twitch.tv/tontomusic soundcloud.com/tontomusic Tracklist: 1.
