Starlight Thursdays Episode 296 featuring sig.soltari in Kitchen Recursion. This episode is all about friendship and chosen family. When SiG and Soltari had a back to back set planned that they haven’t yet had a chance to play. Spontaneously, they revisited and pivoted plugging the decks in on the kitchen counter, hooking up some speakers, loading fresh music, and hitting record. Go time. What followed was a spontaneous back to back feel-good session fueled by trust, creativity, and the simple joy of playing music together. Bring the vibe, DJs. This marks the first but definitely not the last collaboration between Denver collective La Mina and Starlight Reunion. More shared moments, more dance floors, more family gatherings to come.

AHNNH and a Pinedrops walk into a bar... You overhear the last hour of their conversation! Live from Jester's Bar in Helena MT, 10.10.25

We are honored to welcome a veteran of the craft to SR Thursdays - Celestial Flooring Currently operating out of Brooklyn, NY, his career spans 31 years of translating and navigating the inexplicable. With such a long time behind the decks, Celestial Flooring has covered events and dance floors that are "innumerable, plentiful, many, and blessed." This experience amalgamates into a a style that is generatively woven, openly crafted, adventurous, and surprising (even to the spellcaster himself!). A few words from the artist - "I like to operate with a joyful sense of recklessness, and all of my mixes happen scratched in live and tended to over open air, without a net. Every time I play I like to be as surprised as any dancefloor could ever be, that there's magic to explore in the spaces where things come together in wild new ways. When I dj honestly I just get out of the way and let the sound find where it wants to be, it's a special place and I'm always blessed to get to take the journey too." - Celestial Flooring

Happy Turkey Day! We’re incredibly grateful for our music community, dance family, and funky friends who keep the floor alive all year long. Today we’re giving thanks with “Gobble House Groove” a freshly baked hour-and a half of warm, buttery beat flavors, slow simmered by Carr Tell. Serve it loud, share it with your crew, and let the leftovers be the only thing that cools down tonight.

MumbleBee plays a set at a renegade rave deep in the mountains of Montana. November is mild, full of sun and not too much wind. the wet earth sighs its warmth as we slough our jackets and dance alongside amused pines and a soft creek. This mix features a few of their own creations and collaborations, which compliment a tasty blend of electronic music - kinda like a good soup.

Great sound, and a lot of love. I was accompanied on drums by Paul from Satori Sound System during the live performance but unfortunately his portion is not recorded here. I still think you will enjoy the mix.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 286 featuring 3lska in a live set recorded at the dance party series “Night Shift” located within Funk It coffee and thrift. It’s always a treat to catch a set of this nature. 3lska uses vocoder, keyboard, synthesizer and drum machine to blend samples with his own live performance. Transitioning between classic tracks and live melodic rhythms and his originals. What a night to remember. The dance floor was filled with movement and uplifting energy start to finish.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 285 featuring PARRIS with another fire mix!!! “Beep boop! 🤖 The robot house is online, baby. You running diagnostics or throwing a party in the mainframe?” -PARRIS-

DnB Nite is a collaboration of MumbleBee, Pandaura, and local artists of Missoula, with the intention to celebrate and listen to all things jungle, dub, garage, and DnB. It is held in whatever-venue-we-can-get, every whenever-we-have-the-time-and-gumption (usually once per year) This particular DnB Nite was hosted in February at Monk's Bar, with sound and promotion supported by Starlight Reunion and Backwoods Beats. this recording was lost for a while, but recently unearthed and remastered. MumbleBee maneuvers through deep minimal basslines with melancholy pop overlays, halftime gut churners, and brain-scratching clickity-clackity sounds - really, what more can you expect from a MumbleBee DnB nite set? You can check out a recording from DnB Nite 1 here --> https://soundcloud.com/user-115438481/dnbnite_1 And a recording of the mix that inspired MumbleBee and Pandaura to start DnB Nite here --> https://soundcloud.com/mumble_b33/mix4james?in=mumble_b33/sets/mix4u Rumors speak of a 4th DnB Nite emerging this winter. Who can say when or where? but if you like DnB, keep an eye on the poster spots downtown and you might find yourself in a dark room with a big soundsystem, surrounded by likeminded folks who just can't get enough DnB.
