Hello friends! Happy solstice and welcome to the start of summer. Kicking off the season with deep estival sounds is none other than Pittsburgh’s beloved Carrie Sours.

Carrie is a Cleveland-born DJ, producer, and lifelong record collector who started building her collection at age four and came of age in smoke-filled record shops. Emerging from Cleveland’s underground hip-hop and electronic scenes and the vanguard queer parties at Now That’s Class, she describes her sound as “moody & funky”—an irreverent blend of emotional and psychedelic dance music, sensual grooves, post-punk, and private press records shaped by the DIY, glamour-free creative environment of the Midwest. In 2025, she released her debut EP, Advanced Yearning, on her SOURS label.

She currently co-runs the Sweet Abyss series alongside Kiernan Laveaux, Malzof, and Davis Galvin, presenting local and international transgender, queer, and esoteric electronic music in a relaxed community setting at Bantha Tea Bar. She is also a resident at Mary’s, where she hosts Carrie-oke and Moody B*tch Disco. Alongside her regular events, she has brought her eclectic approach to Hot Mass, Bad Sauna, Splish Splash, Cleveland’s Crobar, DC’s Free Pussy party, lesbian arm-wrestling tournaments, public pools, and youth ice-skating competitions. When she’s not digging for records, she enjoys bakeries, saunas, birdsong, and silliness as a sanity practice.

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. Carrie Sours 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!

Hello Spatial fam! Oh boy, oh boy, do we have a very special treat for you…

Dubbed Portland’s secret weapon and sludgelord extraordinaire, Carly Barton, is a designer, composer, DJ, anime enthusiast, and aspiring alchemist in the ranks of some of PDX’s most forward-thinking artists. They have spent the last decade + in the PNW as a piano teacher, playing and organizing events, working at record stores (shout out Musique Plastique, and giving head scratchies to their cat, Trash.

The bulk of their production catalog prioritizes world-building electronic music, dub, and contemporary piano composition, exploring and creating genre-bending scapes with a specialty in collage. Carly’s published work includes a wide-ranging collection of self-releases, sheet music, and other print media projects, as well as albums and remixes released via labels such as MANIC!, Disposable Commodities, iideo, Blankstairs, and more.

With a specialty in controlled chaos, no rules apply. Carly is notorious for playing longform sets at special gatherings in the forests of the PNW that can stretch upwards of 12 hours. These open-format demonstrations open rifts in time and thin the veil between spaces known and unknown, and embody the nature of what we here at Spatial Awareness strive for.

We are fortunate enough to get just a taste of their witches' brew. This one is polychrome, holographic, rare, for the heads, and is not one to be missed under any circumstances.

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. Carly Barton 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!

Take A Trip with Mario Cotto every first Saturday of the month! Happy hour with free entry runs from 9-10pm - $10 after 10pm (free drink ticket with paid entry!)

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 3 am 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.

June is finally here and kicking off Gemini season is Joseph Brooks aka Slump Test.

Slump Test is the DJ project of Louisiana-based designer and sound artist Joseph Brooks. His work spans visual and sonic media to interrogate questions of time, space, and landscape memory, constructing narratives and experiences to foreground otherwise-hidden narratives. He draws from a vast palette to craft sets that evolve cinematically, often blending the use of vinyl, digital players, and live electronics in a single night. 

As a founding member of the Frequency collective, he helped to reignite Louisiana’s techno scene and steward alternative spaces for a new generation of underground culture in the American South. Since then, he has expanded his sonic palette, blurring the bounds between dub, minimal, and ambient, with recent forays into acousmatic and ecological soundscape composition through work with the New York Botanical Garden. 

Joseph has been a regular attendee and supporter of Spatial Awareness over the past several months and has no doubt left an impression on us, not only as a lovely human, but also an inspired, obsessed, curious, and compassionate listener, artist, and producer who we are overjoyed to spotlight for this special evening.

His set will also act as a first listening party for his upcoming EP, ‘Universal Equations’, releasing on GERYON this fall!

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. Slump Test 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.

This month ends with a special sonic presentation from the minds behind one of our favorite events in Philadelphia, Spindrift. It is undeniable that we have taken significant influence from them and have spotlighted two of their curators in the past year (yosukeDJ and DJ Papaya). It is fitting that they will be playing directly after the Boards of Canada release listening party (from 7-9) hosted by Great Circles. This is a multi-colaborative, multi-media, and multi-exciting night from three of the most observant and active curators of experimental sounds in Philadelphia.

For those who do not know: "Spindrift DJs are the three-headed hydra behind your favorite open-format, post-ambient audiovisual live performance series. Since 2023, Spindrift has brought together a singular blend of artists from across the Philadelphia, global, and online musical landscapes, spanning ambient, downtempo, experimental, trip-hop, pop, dancehall, noise and beyond. From its inception at the Pottery Gym, Spindrift has expanded to become a nomadic series, transforming spaces across the city with a special sauce of lighting, installation design, and patented industry secrets we can't leak to the general public. The crew will keep it drifting with a secret VIP event this June, followed by yet-to-be-announced returns to our regularly scheduled program in late summer. Let's wake it up!"

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. Spindrift 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.

Our second guest for May is the locally adored and internationally recognized artist, RESONATE.JPG, for a night of rare tunes from across the globe displayed from the creative mind of a passionate, curious, and conscientious DJ… This will be a special night.

RESONATE.JPEG is a DJ and multimedia artist based in Philadelphia. His sets center eclectic sounds and percussive experiments from diasporic club cultures all over the globe. Whether it’s a photo-documentary project or the dance floor, the crux of Nate's work is exploring diasporic and cultural identities affected by western hegemony; how communities have survived, resisted, and flourished with sound, ritual, and solidarity. No one is free until we're all free. 

Nate is a part of PORTAL (@portal.xoxoxo), a collective that centers Afro-Latin-Indigenous sounds and movement as a tool for liberation, and generating creative practice. The next PORTAL event is Sunday, May 24th from 3-8pm at Penn Treaty Park. The event is free, and open to all ages! 

Nate has spent the last two years traveling and connecting international dots across different scenes in the Americas (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Canada). His mixes have been featured on Veneno Live, HHH Radio, Colonia Radio and Bside Radio, among others.

This will be his first set back in Philly after 4 months so we are planning to hear deep sounds from his traveled crates. Let’s welcome one of Philly’s best home in style!

Spatial Awareness is 9 pm-12 am. RESONATE.JPG 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.
