The UnAuthorized Auditory Adventures is a collection of songs either inspired by travel and adventures or discovered because of them. These songs have accompanied me on many adventures across oceans, through all kinds of terrain, and even on escapades in my own back yard. Songs are timeless when they take you places.
Joseph Noctum - Summer Gold
Released initially somewhere in early 2015 under different artwork and the mix title, “All The Gold”. This was a set I put together for an ambitious art project’s fundraiser. I’m always down for a good art project, and this one was extra cool, so I wanted to do my part even though I wasn’t able to make it out to Flipside that year. A few years later I revisited this mix and changed both the name and the artwork for it. I was working on developing a “grime art” style and this seemed like a fun project to work on. I don’t think I even promoted the original very much but this is one of my favorite mixes I’ve ever done.
Joseph Noctum - Merry Fucking Twrksmas
A mix that has nothing to do with the holiday. It’s no secret I’m not much of a “Christmas” fan. I originally had pieces of this mix set up for my Pyropolis 2013 set but I was taken out of Flipside in an ambulance before I even got to play one song. So I kept using the pieces of the set to play my solo shows around town for part of the year, changing songs and mixes to suit the occasion. I was really digging the experimentation that was happening in the early 2010’s. Producers we’re digging through world wide genres like Baile Funk, Tribal Guarachero, Guaracha, Cumbia, Kuduro, Kwaito, Kizomba, Zouk, Moombah, Juke, and Trap and I wanted to play as much of that out as possible. I recorded this and put it on a shelf for a few months but decided to dust it off and give it out as some sort of Christmas Present since Santa won't give presents to the naughty children who shake their booty too much. So put this on and TWRK around your Christmas tree.
