Juanita’s Mix 063 with quest?onmarq @iamquestionmarc

Q. How would you describe yourself?

A. a question mark


Q. How long have you been a part of the NYC music scene?

A. long enough. i’ve been living in NY my whole life. i grew up on long island. 
my adventures in that scene going to punk and hardcore shows are another story for another time but, more recently i'd commute for nights out in brooklyn and the city every weekend, often meeting the sunrise on my return trips. 
starting around dubstep days for the programming at webster hall, eventually finding the rave & underground scenes... 
anything happening in industrial or atypical venues in Brooklyn captured my attention. 
i miss parties like lit city rave, #top8 and s!ck magic.. 
memories of going to 285 kent, the wick, steel drums and more spots without names are still pretty vivid. 

around that time i'd also been put onto bossa nova civic club by following lineups which would eventually become a very big part of my own story as i graduated from patron to dj. 
there was recently a fire which has affected the building, its tenants and the team. there's a fund active if you are able to contribute :)

i'd like to start organizing my own events soon...


Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.

A. it’s super chill jungle vibes straight thru featuring tracks from 1992 to 2022.
coming from legendary labels that championed this genre such as moving shadow, good looking, limited e edition... and a newer imprint - 8205 recordings which is focused on previously unreleased 90's hardcore and jungle.
it feels like one of my more personal collages of sounds out to date as jungle along with many other forward uk genres were pretty integral to my childhood..
i’d burn cd’s and make curated mini discs for myself to enjoy as a hobby
though my interest in the history and the figures in the scene was far more passive at the time..

this mix gives great context to two recently released productions —
my remix of ‘volshebno stretched’ by anastasia kristensen which is a fusion of jungle, techno and club
and the original self-released ‘elevation’ which draws heavily from atmospheric influence (like ltj) even through its title.

i'd also like to share this review of 'elevation' with you all..
out to DV & MG of Grooves n James for connecting with the track in ways a producer can hope
thanks also for soty shout in 2020 xxxx

Next up we have Yumi! 
Everything we've heard from the NY-based selector has been banging, so we were gassd when they were keen for the pod. The mix keeps to their standard, just over an hour of left-of-centre club sonics, built expertly. Real nice tackle throughout, big ups to Yumi. 
We also caught up for a little chat, which you can check out below > 

AM: Yo! What you been up to recently? 

You know… I’ve been chilling. Grilling with friends, watching the homies play out, just big group hangs when I’m not working. 

AM: How and where did you record the mix? Was there any theme etc behind it? 

I recorded this mix with a pioneer djm-450, two xdj-700s, and my iPhone using the pioneer djm recorder app to record it. That app rocks. I recorded this at my apartment in ridgewood during the day when I probably should’ve been working. I really love going from 90 down to 160… so many crazy tunes in that area. So I started off with some tracks I knew I wanted to play and then let Jesus take the wheel. 

AM: Tell us a bit about IYDE, you run it with a couple others ye? 

In Your Dirty Ears is a monthly newsletter I do with my close friends and former colleagues Amelia Holt and Sara Casella. We were always sending each other bandcamp links and Amelia had the idea to do a newsletter and we were deep in the pandemic and I was like okay why not. Selfishly It’s been really great because it makes me very regimented about checking the hundreds of bandcamp emails in my inbox. But it’s been really nice to hear that ppl enjoy it. Ultimately if ppl r buying music and supporting artists because they checked out the newsletter I’m happy. 

AM: Whats next for ya this year? 

Looking forward to some fun gigs this summer. this weekend gonna be playing fourth world (a showcase of local nyc djs and live acts) at knockdown center with Amelia and Sasha (deep creep). It’s been really really fun to mix with them. I love them. Also amelia and I are going to be in Europe the last half of august playing some shows. But I’m honestly just super hype to see Aba Shanti-I in London.

Fact Mix 878: Juba (Oct '22)

This month, UK duo Mount Kimbie put out a double-album that is essentially two solo records welded together. It's not terribly surprising: each member lives in different countries (the hip-hop inspired Dom Maker in LA, techno head Kai Campos in London) and they've talked about their differences and what each brings to the table in past interviews. MK 3.5: Die Cuts | City Planning splits the duo's kaleidoscopic sound into its constituent parts, with Maker's side focusing on woozy hip-hop and R&B and Campos's reflecting a love of straightforward '90s techno, as dance floor-friendly as anything the group have ever released.

It's the latter that we're here to showcase with this week's RA Podcast, which is a recording of Campos's new live set. In a way it's a more fleshed-out, comprehensive companion to the his side of the album, but it stands on its own as a blistering techno performance. Combining the melodic sense and quirky arrangement tics of Mount Kimbie with a pulsating, stripped-back approach borrowed from Detroit techno—classic drum machine sounds used to the fullest—Campos reinvents himself as one of London's best techno artists. Like the new Mount Kimbie album, it's different, welcome and impressive.

@livwutang has really arrived on the world stage in the last year. The Seattle-raised, NYC-based artist came up through DIY raves and pirate radio and is now a regular at cult clubs and festivals across North America, as well as being booked in for next year's Dekmantel Selectors. Her sound freely moves between dub, Central and West Africa rhythms and a history of Black American music. All this comes out in her widescreen sets, her curation of the Eto Ano label and her hosting of their show on The Lot Radio.  

The confidence of her selections and ability to shift through moods from the serene to the deep, the energetic to the melodic is evident in this week's mix. It slowly works through the gears from dubbed-out depths to buoyant club rhythms via tribal techno. There is an ever-present mysticism and spirituality that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the body-popping rhythms and it's that which will keep you coming back for more.

“With this mix, I've been very inspired by a specific uplifting yet rolling sound that I've only been able to categorize in my efforts of organization as "forward feeling". Its a sound and a feeling that has always been a feature in my sets, and doesn't necessarily feel tied to a genre. Recently I've been digging for it more and finding a lot of fun and happiness when I play it out. It feels like the moment of when you're surrounded by friends and locked into a groove and the crowd is dancing together as one. Diving deeper into this sound has been a process that I've really enjoyed and this mix captures some of my favourites of this sound to play in a club at the moment. Hope you enjoy x.” @ohpeach
