For the next few weeks I’ll be touring with these records and tapes, and picking up inventory along the way. So I’m counting on y'all to buy them to make the whole thing sustainable, and to make it physically possible to lift my suitcase when I roll up to the airport every day. Dates/tix in bio!

None of these platforms have any semblance of ethics, but FWIW I'm spending more time here these days. substack.com/@chuckjohnso...

Look forward to touring with the incredible Clarice Jensen next year! Covering lots of ground, doing solo sets as well as a new collab called Hand on the Bay, in which we render 16 bars of Willie's Red Headed Stranger over a longform graphic score! Tix in bio.

Bay Area! Please join me tomorrow evening (11/14) at my favorite place in Oakland to hang out (Cone Shape Top) where I'll be guest DJing for the Global Weirding show on Sutro FM. I'm on at 6pm. It's a potluck! Bring bevs and a friend.

Out today! Caoine 5 is a Bandcamp exclusive. Finding new pathways into composition and improvisation that are inspired by DJ techniques, wordless voices, voiceless laments, and beats suggested by negative spaces... chuckjohnson.bandcamp.com/album/caoine-5

Hard to believe Sun Glories has been out for a year! Thank you so much for listening and for supporting this work, and to Western Vinyl for helping me get it out into the world.

I enjoyed having this chat with pal Fletcher Tucker whose zoom screen slowly became very cosmic from sun glare as we talked about sound and psychospiritual technologies. Fletcher's new LP Kin is out tomorrow, mixed and mastered (with a little pedal steel) by me. www.talkhouse.com/fletcher-tuc...

My show at Gray Area last weekend felt like an important milestone: 1st show since having shoulder surgery in the spring, shifting into sample-based work... A move I've been wanting to make but it took having one arm completely offline for weeks to be the impetus: on.soundcloud.com/YIWtVNf3Xv3R...

The latest mix in my Caoineadh series is adeparture in that it's me performing live. But it's very much in the spirit of how I've been approaching live mixes recently. AND it's a preview of my performance at Gray Area in SF next Saturday July 26! on.soundcloud.com/8kfDH423IWgj...

If only we all had this mindset

New mix! www.mixcloud.com/chuck-johnso... on.soundcloud.com/funHaBZnraP2...

For the past few weeks I've been doing almost daily live mixes to help process what has been a difficult year, while practicing some new workflows. I decided I should start recording them 😬 www.mixcloud.com/chuck-johnso... on.soundcloud.com/mhvqusCsiP3T...

If (when) the US enters this war, I hope people will have enough sense not to show up to protests carrying the same flag that's on the bombs that will incinerate children and destroy an entire nation.

The kids

2008. I’ve added a table to my rider since then.

Bernie condemning the resistance to ICE while defending Izreal’s right to defend itself isn’t a matter of him not being “left” or “radical” enough. He’s providing cover for the genocide of Palestinians and state violence against immigrants. He is doing immense harm.

Most of these influential artists and labels in the music industry will not speak out against the ICE raids, or Israel, or anything causing harm or oppression to humans. It’s always been on us. The power of the people’s voice collectively en masse will not be silenced, and will turn the tide.
