gkat takes the week,
the sets get timestamps
on time this week. barely, but on time.
big one today. twenty-one records survived this week's cut, seventeen for the club and four for the daylight, and the dj sets on our youtube started getting timestamps. let's get into it.
this week's survivors, sorted by mood. every one added to the playlists, each one verified on the release's own page before it got written down.
🚧 for 1am
both of them play global dance in denver in two weeks. see below.
🧃 for daylight
a little disco chaos, and it refused to leave the rotation all week. that is the whole test.
two edits into the crate this week. soundcloud only, you won't find these on streaming.
timestamps. we've been timestamping the dj sets on our youtube. every track gets marked with its exact cue and its name, the unreleased IDs included, the ones shazam can't catch. open a set, check the pinned comment, the full corrected tracklist is right there. more going up every week.
remember when i said we're going to III points? the satellite program dropped this week and october 16-17 quietly became october 13-20. for the first time satellite runs a full week: fifteen-plus venues, one hundred-plus artists, 250-plus hours of music across seven miami neighborhoods, all orbiting the main festival at mana wynwood.
