Each month, the RITUALS collective invites a special guest to curate a stream of dark sounds to get your body moving. This September, we have Perth newcomer - PR13ST. She made her DJing debut as part of our Bird Courtyard series recently.
Here’s a few words she had to say about herself…
How did you get into DJing?
I kept coming over to ELM's (RITUALS/Dark Vibes/Fuck The Pain Away) house until she showed me how to use her decks so I'd shut the hell up
Describe your DJing style?
Punishing.
Your first RITUALS experience?
My first time at RITUALS was perfect. Blue Monday by New Order came on as ELM's New Rocks (boots) fell apart. The bar staff thankfully had enough Gaffa tape for any goth emergency (including taping a whole boot to a foot).
What influenced this curated RITUALS mix?
This isn't the usual style of music I'd play out, but if you have the opportunity to drop a Rowland S.Howard track into a mix. you should probably take it.
What would be your ideal Perth gig?
Uncrat/Trudge/Locked Club/LSDXOX/VTSS in a massive warehouse, but no one else is invited (OK, like five other people can come, but that's it).
What sounds do you love listening to at the moment?
According to my search history, I've listened to a lot of Nils Frahm, M()RE, Thundercat, Mall Grab, DakhaBrakha recently.... and, like, a bunch of Ukrainian trap music? So like, to be honest, I probably can't give a decent explanation for any of that really except that issa vibe
