CERTAIN CREATURES BRINGS DEEP AND DIVERSE CUTS FOR AN EPIC, ECLECTIC MIX

Brooklyn’s Oliver Chapoy aka Certain Creatures spoils our ears with a two hour plus mix of wide-ranging sonic selections. The journey begins with a rare track of tongue-in-cheek UK synth pop followed by some EBM and funky electro before migrating to the darker side via Zemi17’s gamelan-based techno. It’s here at about the 20 minute mark that the mix kicks into club mode, touching on a host of icy, minimal and industrial beats for a lesson in moving the dancefloor.

Oliver’s musical roots run numerous and deep, dating back to mid 90s Florida hard core and post rock, with time spent in the experimental cold wave / synth pop outfit Warm Ghost and countless other projects as musician, writer or engineer. As Certain Creatures, Chapoy has kept busy with remixes, collaborations with the likes of Ike Yard, a double LP that came out last year, and a 12” on Medical Records’ techno imprint Transfusions this fall. His live set floored us for a MOTOR night earlier this year, while you can catch him DJing Thursdays 8am-12pm EST with Clay Wilson at The Lot Radio in Brooklyn.
