 A chameleon by nature, Mo Corleone is a DJ that defies categorization.  On any given weekend you may find her directing the dance floor in a dark warehouse or a slammin' club venue. But you're just as likely to catch her in the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Hawaiian jungle, or the Black Rock Desert.

A devotee of gray area music, you'll appreciate a set from Mo if you like electro in your techno, psy in your progressive, or rock in your breakbeats. When she's not bouncing with the energetic renegade crew Want It, Mo chills out with the Bay Area darlings of downtempo, the Ambient Mafia.

 “We all have our own power & prowess, then is when we begin our journey- here as sentient beings.” DJ Waater Maark permeates inspiration. After 9 years of teetering on the edge of innovation and alter-realities on the Northwest coast, he has proven himself to be solidly on the path of musical re-generation. His deep-rooted tones shoots you into a shamanistic journey of self-discovery through jungles of tangled and mystical dimensions, while his neuro-sonic soundscapes bring you strategically up for air.

 Remember that sheet of blotter paper you ate back in 1995?  Still have acid flashbacks and just can't get a grip on reality?  The Acid Totem collective provides you with the ultimate escape into Albert Hoffman's world of acid 303 riffs.   A melding of the old school acid sounds of house, breaks, and techno along with old school rave classics- meets the new wave of acid.  We've handpicked a group of selectors who epitomize the acid and San Francisco rave sound of the early-mid 90s, and have mixed them in with DJs from the current period who understand the meaning of acid music and beyond.  Get ready to flashback to..... no, RETURN 2 ACID!

$10 presales are still available at AcidTotem.net. The madness all goes down at Radiance Factory, a 2-room underground venue located in a safe East Bay location. Acid chemists for the night include Jeno, Tony, Carlos, Dutch, Alia vs Little John, Evinrude, Flook, Ben Haus, and 5-MeO. Wow, looks like Qpod is going to be well represented at this party!

For this special event broadcast, we have none other than Jeno from the infamous Wicked Crew that started full moon madness in the states.  While Wicked has long been dead, the anarchic nights spent at places like Bonny Doon Beach still resonate with those who were lucky enough to have partaken in the Wicked Full Moon experience. Jeno, along with his fellow Wicked comrades played an integral role in introducing the acid house sounds of the UK to the West Coast.  Nowdays, you can catch Jeno every Tuesday night on his weekly internet broadcast on , NoisefromtheVoid. He has also teamed up with Wicked alumni and Grayhound Records label honcho, DJ Garth, for a party called Back 2 Back at 222 Hyde in San Francisco.  The party features the enlightening sounds of disco-electronica from deep within both Jeno's and Garth's record libraries.

Jeno has been kind enough to share a mix of old school acid and rave classics for this special broadcast on Qpod.  We hope you enjoy the acidy goodness in your headphones, and one more time with your friends from Qpod and Acid Totem this friday at Return 2 Acid!

 Flook has been in the game since '94 and is an 11 year veteran of Burning Man.  Originally inspired by dj Carlos in the mid-90s, Flook found himself behind the decks upon his return to the EDM circuit in the 2000s. Upon his triumphant return, Flook joined up with Friction to form Yellow No. 5, you may know them as the guys who terrorize the Playa with the infamous Purgatory Cruiser.  In 2007, Flook joined forces with the Acid Totem Collective.

He's known for playing a wide consortium of tracks, from the electro house sounds of today, to the old school acid house and breaks of the early 90s.  Whatever it is he does, he does it damn well!

Back the fuck up, 'cuz the King of the Wild Things is in your podcast! Consider this a WARNING:  Flook has put copious amounts of pimp juice in this latest elixir of music.  Plug-in, turn the volume all the way up, and let your ears absorb the freakish sounds of Flook.

 A staple of the San Francisco underground scene and co-founder of the Pronoia DJ collective, Raydeus has been rocking parties in the Bay Area since the early ‘00s.

Starting out as a downtempo/dub/chill DJ, he soon switched gears and took aim at the dancefloor. His sound quickly solidified as the roaring breakbeat-electro-techfunk hybrid it is today. He’s also been known to drop techno, drum ‘n bass or dubstep on a whim. After you listen to this exclusive Qpod mix, check out www.Raydeus.com and download tons of other mixes. As with most musical experiences, though, it’s better in person than recorded.

The Pronoia crew throws underground parties and renegades throughout the year (two are coming up this fall), which always deliver hard dirty beats and uber positive vibes.
Get your ear in tune with the underground and join their email list!

Raydeus will be spinning in SF at Shine on June 7 along with special guests Evinrude and Hypnotech.  You can also catch Raydeus playing at Breakbeat Booty at Temple on June 20.

Alia has been djing and producing parties in Santa Cruz for over a decade, including 13moontribe parties and many other local and Bay Area events.  Ginger Vaughn began blessing us with her prowess since moving here in the late 90s. A seriously awesome dj.

Digital Honey most recently played at Raindance's Chinese New Year at 1015 in San Francisco, and at "Super Funky Expedition" at Cell Space.

5-MeO was quick to begin his affair with music early in life with the album "Breakdance" and practiced his popping and locking behind closed doors in his bedroom. By the time he reached high school, he was a multi-instrumentalist, playing everything from drums to guitar. In 1993 he attended his first rave and had an epiphany, "I want to do this."  From there it went all downhill. 
 
Joining forces with the seminal "Galanta" crew on the East Coast, he quickly learned the ropes of throwing underground parties from outlaw events to full scale warehouse raves.  But just throwing parties was not enough. "I wanted to make the music! I wanted to make the people dance!" he recalls. Learning to DJ under the guidance of Galanta's daddy, DJ Jack MF, he was romanced by the sounds of early breakbeat techno and 303 heavy acid house.  Eventually landing on house and techno as the sounds he would play, 5-MeO even made his way onto the line-ups of a few big events playing with the likes of Osheen, Sameer and Dante. After a brief hiatus and a move to the West Coast, 5-MeO reinvested in music and began flirting with underground events again, finally finding a home with the like minded Acid Totem collective.
 
Working the border between techno and house, his sound ranges from dark and minimal to tracky and saturated. On any given full moon, you can find 5-MeO playing under the stars and sharing his life long obsession with music with the tribes of party people here, there, and everywhere he can.

This wookie hunter is the brainchild behind Qpod, as well as San Francisco's Acid Totem sound system.  Ben's been putting together free outdoor parties for nearly a decade, with the last five years being dedicated to the Acid Totem collective. 

A fervent believer in the squelchy acid sounds of Roland's tb-303, Ben's musical tastes reflect San Francisco's unique relationship with psychedelia.  A decade plus of record collecting has allowed him to amass a library that can cater to nearly any mood or situation.  However, it's the short period of time when the sky is turning from dark blue to pink, before the sun crests over the horizon, that Ben digs deepest into his crate to indulge the party elite to a truly surreal experience. 

Barely a week into Spring, 2008 is already proving to be a hectic year for Acid Totem- with no less than a dozen parties marked on the calendar.  Coming up in the latter half of April, Acid Totem returns to where they had their first party, the Santa Cruz mountains.  Going down the night of Saturday, April 19, the Santa Cruz Mountains Full Moon Smoke Out has been garnering attention since it was announced earlier this year.  You can check out several of Ben's older mixes here.

Actual Rafiq, what can we say about this guy?  He had originally given us a mix of sultry downtempo and trip hop, but then forwarded us a peak hour screamer full of electro house that we just couldn't pass up.  Born in London, Rafiq has embedded himself in the Northern California underground for the last six years.  In 2006, he was asked to join  the Bay Area's premiere chill crew, the Ambient Mafia.   

Rafiq's jockey skills sport the sounds of downtempo and trip hop, and as you can see, occasionally house music.  He's produced 12 albums of original music, with much of it set to be released on iTunes this summer. 

Let's fast forward to the present for Mr Rafiq's featured Qpod!  Turn up the mids and bass levels, and get ready for a break neck speed journey through the sounds of electro house!

People have been turning in a lot of fresh mixes to us over the past few weeks.  M.O.D., aka My Own Device, has turned in a gem of a podcast for episode 002.  Mixing that can only be described as flawless- perhaps he should be known as the left handed mixing maestro!  In this featured Qpod, M.O.D. intricately weaves the sounds of funky house, acid, and tech house that will have your head bobbing in a time warp.  

Anyone else find it ironic that M.O.D.'s been playing  a lot of house lately? Considering he's one of the main staples of the Evil Breaks crew.  Speaking of Evil Breaks, their 4 year anniversary is coming up in April.  They've been doing it big since they hit the ground running, and one could expect their 4 year show to bring in some big names. 

If you enjoy this podcast, we urge you to check out M.O.D.'s set that was recorded live in Big Sur at Acid Totem's Camp Out in October of 2007.  M.O.D. is also the special guest for Acid Totem's full moon season opener on 3.21.08

Qpod is proud to present Dirt as the first episode on channel.Q.  Dirt is part of the earth's surface, consisting of humus and disintegrated rock-  maybe this is why his beats are so chunky and tasty!  The Wilderbeats' front man has been busy in the studio as of late churning out tune after tune of groovy techno, and tripadelic trip hop.  You can catch his releases on Omniscient and Cymbalic Records. 

Watch out for Dirt's trademark party this summer- Wilderbeats, which features some of the brightest shining stars of the Northern California electronic underground at a beautiful location in the Tahoe National Forest.   You can also catch Dirt playing under the full  moon for Acid Totem's  Santa Cruz Mountains Smoke Out on 4/19/08. 

He's been known to hustle the dance floor in the big city, and warp the minds of those under the full moon.   Whoever said "It tastes like Dirt" was obviously making a complimentary remark!
