Photo by Jorge Garcia | CROSSFADE | ▼ Music Black and Blue Mystic Bill mixes business with pleasure for Wax Your Cracks Records debut. BY GRANT ALBERT L ong before the now-defunct ATV Records opened its doors, a con- nected record label was always in the works. The venue, which closed unexpectedly in July after four years, served as an intimate lounge ac- companied by the underground’s finest track selectors. Symbolically, ATV Records was the suc- cessor to the Electric Pickle, which closed in 2018 after a decade in Wynwood. The ethos of both venues was bass bleeding over vinyl, blisters on your fingers from crate digging, and if its spins, it plays. Thankfully, ATV Re- cords’ spirit lives through owner Will Renu- art and his partner Alo Gonzalez’s latest musical venture: Wax Your Cracks Records. A new EP by DJ/producer Mystic Bill (AKA Bill Toress), Obzession, set for release on October 11, will be the label’s inaugural re- lease. (It’s available for preorder via UK- based Juno Records.) “I think people will figure out it’s not go- ing to be what it says online,” Torres tells New Times regarding the EP’s flummoxing “deep house” label on Juno Record. On the A-side is “Obzession (Blue Mix),” made in collaboration with Renuart. The “Blue Mix” is an Italo-disco offering that rides like a hot-pink speed boat under the sun. The percussion hits and reverberates, and the synths bounce as they pay homage to the ‘80s. The balmy vocal work carries the track home. “On the ‘Blue Mix,’ I was going for Italo- 16 16 disco vibe and keep it vintage in sound and make it sound like it was recorded in the ‘80s. It’s a little rougher sounding — rawer,” Torres explains. “Will gave me some of his Mystic Bill ideas. I went to finish it off, and he would reach out saying, ‘I like this part,’ and I would go back and either add to it or change it around. We eventually went with an ear- lier version.” The B-side features “Obzession (Black Mix),” which Torres believes serves as a con- temporary piece to rival the nostalgia. The “Black Mix” is acidic and dark — precisely the track you want to drop mid-set. “When I was putting the record together, Will mentioned giving him one more mix — maybe an acid mix. And that’s where I went,” he says. During his European sets last month, Tor- “I WAS GOING FOR ITALO- DISCO VIBE AND KEEP IT VINTAGE IN SOUND.” res tested the tracks on the crowds. Unsur- prisingly, the funk-driven overtures of the “Blue Mix” and the acidity of the “Black Mix” proved formidable on the dance floors of Am- sterdam and Berlin. “I’ve been playing it out with the test pressing,” he adds. “Everybody has been hitting me up, wanting to get digital copies.” Unfortunately, Torres intends to keep Obzession as a vinyl-only release. However, the label may re- lease digital mixes of different versions. “There may be a ‘Green Mix’ or a ‘Pink Mix,’ and they will sound slightly different in their own way,” Torres notes. Mystic Bill’s roots are planted in Chi- cago, where he has carried the torch for vi- nyl, house, and the queer rave scene as a producer and label boss. He has earned re- mixes from the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, and in Europe last month, he played along- side Eris Drew and Octo Octa. Locally, he often spins at venues like Gramps and Floyd, and he’s set to make his III Points de- but later this month. “I have an EP coming up for Rawax in Ger- many and another project for Dark Entries in San Francisco,” he says. “There will also be an album. I’m still working on it little by little — there is no rush.”
