Humanaut Sustainable Podcast Series 021 brought to you by Jose Bec.
Jose Luis Sagastegui Becerril, a.k.a. Jose Bec, was born and raised in Mexico City. His love of music began by listening to classic rock with his father. When he was 12, Jose discovered the world of electronic music through a radio show broadcasting European Techno beats and he knew he wanted to be a DJ. After bringing beats to people at parties and bars in Mexico, he moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, in 2006.
Since arriving in Pittsburgh, Jose has refined his mixing techniques by immersing himself in the Pittsburgh and International “Underground” scene. He has built on what he used to mix in Mexico and forged his own non-commercial style.
His influences on the decks are mixture of European techno, minimal, Tech house, and house from Chicago and NY.
Jose Bec spins at private parties and events sharing decks with Humanaut one of the most respectful crew in the city also in clubs and bars in the Steel City. He now wants to share with Mexico his new-found style and widen his reach in the electronic music scene.

20 podcasts already? Even though the podcast series has been somewhat unsustainable at times we’re glad to have hit this milestone! And as a result, we’re pleased to give you a very special release.
Our 20th podcast comes from Sutekh. You may remember him from the Humanaut afterhours party at the VIA festival last month. He’s the guy who bashed your head in with a speaker……good, we knew you wouldn’t forget. This mix tape was recorded in 1997 at the Vulcan Foundry Studios in Oakland, CA. It was the first mix ever released under the Sutekh name.
A tracklisting is not available. If you’re able to accurately provide the tracklisting for this mix you will get a free entry into a Humanaut event of your choice.

Thanks to all those who came out and danced with us until 6am a few Saturdays ago. Hearing Donato Dozzy and Nuel play until the wee hours of the morning with all of our friends and supporters was excellent way to celebrate our 6th birthday and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. We appreciate everyone’s support over the past several years and we look forward to providing Pittsburgh with the highest quality of electronic music for 6 more years to come.
Stay tuned & thanks again!

Ryan Walsh has been deejaying and making music for over 14 years. He has deejayed vinyl under the name rw for 8 years, and retired that name in 2007 to focus on hybrid dj/live performances and original work under the name local. He’s played across the US and in a lot of differing situations under this moniker — basements to big rooms. His music varies from film-score downtempo to dub to house and straight onto proper drum techno.
This mix was recorded at Pittsburgh’s Z Lounge in one take using Ableton Live, an Akai APC40, and a M-Audio Axiom 25 controller. No post editing or mixing was done, with the exception of shortening of the set to fit time constraints.
Ryan’s career in music has also incorporated a significant amount of event production. He got his chops in the 90s, producing major light, laser, and sound installations for warehouse events. He was co-producer of the legendary FLUX events which were one of the first urban carnival style event series in the US, combining multidisciplinary art, multi-genre music, and community development. FLUX was written about in several academic journals and popular books as a blueprint for rethinking a community.
Ryan continued his production work through forming Restorative Events, one of the world’s first event operations companies that focused on environmentally friendly operations. He has also produced several events with Pittsburgh’s Humanaut team, most notably the successful club installation Hijack and the Centre Street Social event at Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival, Movement.
In 2011, Ryan is continuing his work in production through assisting with the VIA arts and music event, rated one of the top 5 festivals in the world for October by the music mavens at Resident Advisor.
Ryan maintains a small home studio in Pittsburgh, PA. Feel free to email him.
