Take A Trip with Mario Cotto returns as apart of our rotating weekly Friday residents series

From 2007-2020 DJ Mario Cotto spent virtually every single Saturday night in the basement studios of KCRW in Santa Monica broadcasting his Psychedelic Service to listeners worldwide from midnight to 3am PST. He’s played festivals, warehouses, bars, restaurants, weddings and basements. He’s opened for various artists including New Order & Moby. Not hemmed in by any specific genre, his is a decidedly eclectic mix of punchy dance music, new music of various genres, psychedelic rock, 70s AM gold, 80s synth, eccentric world music and ambient freakouts.

Take A Trip is another exploration of this notion; it’s not about the destination…it’s how we get there. *And I promise a fine time.

Hello spatial people - welcome to October 🍂

This week is our monthly resident night with your Spatial Awareness hosts Cubby and Cyrus on the controls all night.

As is part of our residency, we raise money for mutual aid projects that we believe need our communities support.

We will once again be accepting donations for Rajab Mortaja and his family who are living in Gaza under the fascist American/Israel occupation that has displaced them and made their day to day survival unbearable. The ongoing genocide has made it extremely hard to access food, clean water, shelter, and necessary supplies. Rajab and his family mean a great deal to us as does the liberation of the Palestinian people. Please reach out if you are unable to attend but would like to contribute.

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. Cubby and Cyrus are the DJs. 

Our door is donation-based with a suggested sliding scale of $10-$20 - no one will be turned away. Donations go to Rajab and his family and are greatly appreciated if you have the means to contribute!

Note: Spatial Awareness has zero tolerance for any kind of discrimination, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, antisemitism, xenophobia, or any inappropriate behavior such as unwanted touching, grouping, or leering.

Hello Spatial friends

We hope that you have been thoroughly  transcended after the long weekend. We are flying high and ready to bring you our September 2026 closer. 

This week we embrace the cool winds of change that blow across the celestial equator, bringing forth the Autumnal Equinox; flora quietly burst with final vibrant blooming, fauna begin migration along the path of the Sun, and festivities abound. This moment stands in preparation for the next metamorphosis of circadian ritual - to manifest the revelry of Fall before we begin our cold leap into the Winter frost through spells cast in tonally crafted air.

Vincent is lifted guilt: an artist, DJ, and instrumentalist originally from Lancaster, PA. Growing up playing in ensembles and bands, performance has always been the keystone to his relationship with music. He studies music at Temple in Philadelphia, and as he’s settled in the city, he has changed and evolved his artistic practice; improvising live electroacoustic music with a newfound patience, focus, and intimacy - curating dynamic mixes spanning a wide spectrum of influences; collaborating across disciplines with dancers and visual artists all have informed a holistic approach to music and performance. 

For this iteration of Spatial Awareness, lifted guilt foresees a dive into ambient, dub, acoustic, left-field, and deep dancefloor sounds, tailored to the utmost acoustic standards of the Percy Hi-Fi. 

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. lifted guilt is the DJ.

Join us in welcoming our newest Friday night resident, Nine of Wands to our rotating weekly Friday night residencies at TSL every weekend from 8-11!

At the core of every paradigm rests faith in dogma, faith that underneath layers of complexity lie static, foundational truths. These beliefs act as guiding forces on our individual journeys.

All the Way Down is a residency conceptualized by Nine of Wands; a nod to the mythological idea of the world resting on an infinite number of turtles. It is a playful, musical invitation to explore our axioms with acceptance and curiosity, to push up against what is believed to be static and open towards unity, kindness, and mutual understanding.

Until then, it’s turtles all the way down.

Music is 9-12. doll.redacted is the DJ.  More information soon!

Welcoming Haruomi Hosono to Ghostly with Yours Sincerely (GI-499), his 23rd album, and first in seven years. The album arrives on September 11, 2026, on dark gold vinyl, CD, cassette, and deluxe CD and LP box set formats. Join us at The Sound Lounge for a deep listening of this landmark record from one of the most influential musicians of the last century.

Space will be limited and is first come first serve. Doors at 5:30. Needle drop at 6.

The pioneering Japanese musician, producer, composer, and founding member of Yellow Magic Orchestra and Happy End, has “found his voice in a late career renaissance," writes The Wire, cited as an influence by an acclaimed list of artists, including Mac DeMarco, Cameron Winter, Ginger Root, Vampire Weekend, Harry Styles, and more. Shaped by mid-century American music, Hosono's work now reverberates back through a new generation of Western artists—a remarkable circular exchange.

“I am now 78 years old, but from here on, I feel a growing curiosity toward the unknown music that my new self will create, while also embracing the music of my former self—as if I now carry two musical worlds within me,” Hosono remarks.

The transformative work ponders a simple question. How do you express the Japanese ideas of omoiyari (思い遣り), jihi (慈悲), or boseiai (母性愛) in English? Hosono explains, “I searched, but no word felt quite right. Each came close, yet carried a slightly different nuance…I turned to a more familiar word often used to close a letter: ‘Sincerely.’”

“It is in this spirit that I offer this album to you—sincerely, from the heart.”

Well hello again…

We sure have a treat for you. This week, coming all the way from LA for her Philly debut is the vinyl forward selector, self described “Harbinger of Queer Foretifacts,” with a name that inspires the desire to burn the mother fucker down - Gay Feony graces the decks for a 3-hour demonstration of queerdo focused dance music.

Gay Felony sets are uncompromising and excessively life-affirming. A staple of the Los Angeles above-and-under-ground, you can hear her on dublab, KCHUNG and via her extensive original discography. 

She is a resident and organizer the of five-years-and-running party "PRANKS!" and frequents warehouses, bars, “spaces,” and free-party locations around LA.

She delivers ecstatic and exceptionally skillful extended vinyl DJ sets exploring her trademark soulful, progressive house sound.

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. Gay Felony is the DJ.

"Often in life we find ourselves 'between mirrors'. From the society that surrounds us to the personal lives that we carry, to be in said abstract state at some point is to have existed...

This intentional residency, helmed by ADAB, takes that saying to the infinitely refracting world of sound. A journey in exploring our varied relationships and shared histories within the music of our world. ADAB is one of the most unique, exciting, eclectic, and forward-thinking DJs working today.

Raised across the Midwest/Rust Belt (IL/MI/OH) and now based in Philadelphia, ADAB has become a defining presence in the American queer underground. ADAB is the host of the five-year-running NTS radio show Heaven Is in You. They have spotlighted local parties including Lindo, Bounce House, Sub Surface, and Making Time, and has been featured regularly at Nowadays Non-Stop, Bossa Nova Club, Hot Mass, and The Lot, as well as prominent summer gatherings like Dripping, Draaimolen, Freerotation, System Activate, and Return to the Source.

'Between Mirrors' is free every other Friday starting May 1st at The Sound Lounge from 9pm-12am. Percy late night happy hour is 9-10 with cheap drinks and bites."

Kicking off this September is our dear friend DJ Anarres. A name you likely know and love already but if you don’t, then now is the time to listen up. 

To present Anarres as a simple metaphor is perhaps not to their credit, but it is hard to imagine or describe them without a dusting of whimsy. Annares comes to mind as a well-loved couch at a house party. A defining piece of its environment that holds a space for those who seek comfort in moments where we look for physical, mental, and spiritual recalculation - worn lovingly into a shape that fits whoever seeks to discover it. 

Deep crates is an understatement. Their evolving wall of records houses one of the finest collections of midwest techno I have ever seen as well as many gems across the sprectum of genre. Every month they graciously share thier treasures by way of Great Circles internet radio on their show Transcilence.
 
A founding member of the almighty Bounce House collective, their knowledge of dancefloors, sounsytems, lighting, and community have transformed the Philly underground. A DJ Anarres room is almost always in direct connection to the moment in time, with great consideration, and filtered through that deeply personal connection they have with music. It is tapped straight into the mainline and yes, what you hear is undoubtedly “that shit.”

Their production has largely stayed embedded in the ghosts of their machines, but I assure you, we have heard it and IT IS GOOD. 

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. DJ Anarres is the DJ. 

Our door is donation-based with a suggested sliding scale of $10-$20 - no one will be turned away. Donations go towards paying the artists and organizers, and are greatly appreciated if you have the means to contribute!

Founded in 2019 by Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, Psychic Hotline takes a straightforward idea and actually follows through on it: Artists should own their work. The Durham, North Carolina label grew out of their experience in Sylvan Esso, and it shows in how it operates. Psychic Hotline handles the mechanics of putting records into the world while leaving control where it belongs. Early releases came from their circle of friends, including Mountain Man, Bowerbirds, Phil Cook, and Joe Westerlund, and set a tone that feels less like a roster than a network that keeps expanding on its own terms.

That network has at various times included William Tyler, Hand Habits, Sam Gendel, Amaro Freitas and Sam Wilkes, artists who don’t flatten easily into a single category. The catalog moves between experimental pop, cosmic instrumentalism, heavy cumbia, jazz, rock and more exploratory work without making a point of it.

Late last year, Sylvan Esso joined a growing number of artists who removed their entire catalog from Spotify, saying, in part:

“We have to decide what we want to be a part of and what we don’t. To that end, with Sylvan Esso being on our own label for the first time, we have decided to remove our music from Spotify. While no solution is perfect, we simply can’t continue to put our life’s work in a store that, in addition to all its other glaring flaws, directly funds war machines.”

Join us next Thursday, September 3rd from 6-8pm for the global debut listening of Sylvan Esso’s new record - Ow ∞

Space is limited and seating in the lounge will be on a first come first serve basis. The event is free. Doors at 6pm, needle drop at 7pm.

Haitian Vinyl Night | Philly Debut

Friday, August 28 · The Sound Lounge at Percy

All-vinyl konpa, zouk, and rare Caribbean pressings, the records Haitians grew up on. Selector Patrice Esperant has been digging for these since 2019, and every set comes straight from his own crates.

HVN has packed rooms in Brooklyn, DC, and Atlanta. Now it’s Philly’s turn.

Limited tickets here.

Hello!

We are suuuuper stoked that closing out our August 2026 programming is none other than the ambient architect, Jake Muir.

Jake Muir is a Los Angeles based artist, DJ, and field recordist working with found sound. He approaches his practice as a listener first, carefully curating, layering and processing sounds that help him deconstruct and contextualize his lived experiences and influences. Using investigative software methodologies, DJ techniques, and dextrous engineering, Muir makes deeply personal sonic art that fluidly traverses genre, encouraging reflection, and sometimes prompting psychedelic states.

We welcome Jake into the lounge for a 3 hour guided meditation of sorts into the proverbial goo. Without lifting a foot, you are invited to take a walk through the trees and gaze into the psychedelic wallpaper of the lounge and transport yourself somewhere to perhaps find the thing you’ve been looking for… it lies deep within the spell cast inside the Altec cabinets...

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. Jake Muir is the DJ.

Our door is donation-based with a suggested sliding scale of $10-$20 - no one will be turned away. Donations go directly to New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia and are greatly appreciated if you have the means to contribute!

Welcome back friends

This week we have two of the kindest, most hilarious, creative, and dangerously addictive selectors west of the Delaware river. With a long and extensive list of experience in music, programming, curation, and of course, DJing - we are over the hill to welcome the double trouble that is DJ Slimey and Teeyam for a 3 hour sonic exploration into sounds unknown.

Teeyam is a first-gen Iranian-American DJ, producer, and curator shaped by the underground scenes of SF, NYC, and now Philly. Dark, playful, and a little unhinged, his sets move through acid, electro, techno, wave, and breaks — chasing the strange connective tissue between sounds. Founder of They're Here (SF) and House of Baba (a platform for experimental SWANA artists), former Lot Radio regular with a Mixmag Best Mixes 2021 nod, and half of Phreakers with John Barera. Now in Philly, holding it down with a residency at Umbira Arts.

DJ Slimey is a multidisciplinary artist from Texas, a decade deep in NYC's experimental art and music underground — working across sound, sculpture, and light before landing behind the decks. Their sets favor the strange and obscure, sliding through abstraction, tension, and release without ever settling into one genre. Described as "weirdo and esoteric, yet always groovy and psychedelic."

Together, Teeyam and DJ Slimey share a love for obscure records, unexpected sounds, and each other. Fresh off a trip through Europe, they're bringing back a bag full of new finds — come along for the ride.

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. DJ Slimey and Teeyam are the DJs.

Our door is donation-based with a suggested sliding scale of $10-$20 - no one will be turned away. Donations go towards paying the artists and organizers, and are greatly appreciated if you have the means to contribute!

For this night, we will be collecting donations for him to continue his search and pay his bills.

This listening event is free!

Please note that seating in the lounge is limited and will be first come first serve. We will have limited copies of Beauty for sale. Please reach out if you have any questions.

More on Beauty:

“In the late 70s and early 80s, ethnic music and fashion was becoming more popular in the cities. It felt fresh and new. It was the end of the rock era and I was excited about what was to come. For me, that was the future depicted in Blade Runner. Like Los Angeles in the movie, a melting pot of different ethnicities, with the languages all blended together to create something both familiar and foreign. I feel like I’m always searching for that world, peering down back alleys in seedy neighborhoods looking for an old Chinese guy hacking DNA. These were the images that inspired me throughout the 80s, and took shape in Neo Geo and Beauty.”
