Deep District has been growing as a go to spot for underground electronic artists in the District, showcasing interviews and material from the likes of Ozker, Ayes Cold, Mathias, Rex Riot, and countless others putting in work around DC.
The next artist to feature on the blog is Blisspop’s own Zach Eser – aka zacheser. Contributor to Blisspop, up and coming DJ, and all around groove maker, he blesses Deep District with an hour mix of carefully curated music he puts under the tag “catharsis.”
Talking to Deep District, zacheser describes the mix as such: “I made it with the idea of ‘catharsis’ in mind. u and i both understand that catharsis is an essential element when it comes to music: the ebb + flow + the journey ur mind takes when u close ur mind + let go are all things that a good dj – and tastemaker – should be thinking about. it’s about making people feel alive. or free. or above it all. or like they’re fucking badasses or something. + that’s what this mix is about: feeling. + that’s something tangible + real. catharsis.”
The mix is truly a diverse, yet cohesive and well calculated spread. He shows love to locals Man and Woman and Blisspop’s Caleb L’Etoile, brings in bangers from artists like Lane 8 and Kant, but also takes us off the beaten path at times with experimental tracks like Beshken’s “Hiro.”
zacheser will be at The Velvet Lounge tonight warming up the decks for Blisspop’s headman Will Eastman. Definitely pop in if your feeling his vibe.
