About R/V Calypso
R/V Calypso is the project of Troy Kurtz, who spent the previous decade DJing in Miami and Los Angeles before a surfing injury pushed him toward writing his own records. Meridian Slide, the debut, came out on Omnidisc/Flamingo Park in October 2025 and includes a collaboration with Mexico City artist Charles Moon. Omnidisc boss Danny Daze championed the EP, and Ben UFO, Mr. Ho and livwutang all played it out.
Shark Delay followed on Omnidisc in April, picking up support from Gerd Janson and Roman Flügel. The ocean is the recurring subject of the music, which moves in rolling, wave-like grooves, and in the booth Kurtz starts from electro before drifting out into house and techno.
