Fact Mix 814: Loraine James (Jun '21)

Juanita's Mix 068 (420 edition) with @DJ-SWISHA

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I’m a very reserved and private person. Definitely on the “let the music speak for itself” vibe when it comes to my career but I also find myself applying that to every facet of my life the older I get. People are usually surprised when they meet me in person because they assume I’m more “out there”, which is hilarious to me. My real friends know I’m a big clown though haha.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. That’s honestly hard for me to answer personally. I was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Los Angeles but my first trip to NYC was in 2015. I came here already having a solid year+ of remote collaboration with Kush Jones and got to know a lot of people born and raised here. Since then people also assumed I’m from the Bronx, which I’ll gladly joke around with but I actually moved to there late 2017. For the first year living uptown people didn’t register that I was based in NYC because 98% of people in our music scene have never been to the Bronx. Once I moved to Brooklyn in 2019 it was a pretty aggressive upward trajectory. It’s always wild to remind myself the first time Kush and I played Bossa even was 2019.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. Recording this mix was a fluid expression of myself, how I listen to and experience music while high. The only prompt I gave myself was “what do I want to listen to on 420?” and I recorded it first try. I never go into DJing anything with a lot or if any preparation. The process of putting my mind to a subject, theme, type of crowd and space in the moment then going off that energy is such a release for me. Once I see the effects of those decisions on my end, I go on autopilot and the consistency of the outcome is secondary in my opinion.

Juanita's 420 Mix: DJ SWISHA

BEARCAT B2B SHYBOI - Live @ Nowadays for 420 Bossa Fundraiser

Last year, New Jersey group OSSX wowed us with a mix of completely original material that blended infectious edits of Janet Jackson and September with tracks like "Split Wig"—one of last year's indisputable breakbeat anthems—that showed how the then-duo could bring together generations of American dance music into one compelling, vibrant mix that celebrates all shades of East Coast club.

Their RA Podcast might not be an all-originals mix, but it shares the same spirit. OSSX—now a trio, with Juke Bounce Werk member Elise joining original duo Equiss and Lektor Scopes—sprinkle the mix with more of their excellent unreleased originals, in-between canny and clever edits new and old, like DJ Sega's rework of Basement Jaxx's "Where Your Head At," which makes for an early highlight, along with DJ Swisha's Baltimore club edit of Robin S.'s "Luv 4 Luv" and the bouncy DJ Problem version of Mary J. Blige's classic "Family Affair." You can hear both the evolution and history of these genres through this mix, along with cuts that touch on UK garage, ballroom and jungle. Trust us when we say that this is over an hour of pure fun, showing the ingenuity and timelessness of American dance music through the decades.

A gleefully hectic festival set from Kelman Duran, filled with a grab-bag of baile funk, reggaeton, Jersey club and more. Utterly delightful.

SYSTEM Mix 084: Ojoo Gyal

Since the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd, there have been renewed efforts to shine a light on dance music's roots in Black communities. Still, there's a critical need for more Black-forefronted collectives and programmers—as well as more thoughtfully curated and balanced rosters of talent in clubs and festivals—to keep the origins of electronic music alive. 

In comes Brooklyn’s dweller festival, founded in 2019 by Discwoman's Frankie Decaiza Hutchinson, which aims to highlight exclusively Black talent from across the globe. This year’s edition featured a live RA Exchange with Nigerian-British selector OK Williams, who spoke to RA music critic Kiana Mickles about some of the deep-rooted inequities that continue to bar Black artists from contributing to the contemporary dance music landscape. They also discuss Williams’ ascent on the global stage—beginning from her Early Bird residency at NTS and full-fledged touring career post-pandemic—and her first forays into production. This is a lively discussion that includes questions from the audience. Listen to the episode in full.
