Issue 52 of the Surface Tension Podcast is a billowing mind-expander compiled in February 2019 by Mx. Silkman, resident DJ and co-founder of Clevelandβs In Training. Widescreen drones and unsettling tones set a desolate scene before fevered rhythms begin to clear the fog and the dance takes hold. Too many idols of ours to enumerate in this collection, beautifully contextualized by one another's company.
Mx. Silkman is one facet of Aerin Ercolea; with In Training, she has helped establish a queer-run monthly underground electronic music series and community in her native city of Cleveland that both celebrates and cuts against alienation in contemporary life. In addition to her residence, Mx. Silkman has appeared at established parties such as Honcho, Neon Falls, Staub, and Nothing Changes as well as being a fervent supporter of the techno-by-way-of-punk DIY underground party scene throughout the Midwest and East Coast. She also records leftfield dancefloor electronics as Auton.
