Fact Mix 921: Lauren Duffus (Aug '23)

ｂａrbie + ｂａmbinodj (ｂａsh-up)

Ashland Mines, AKA Total Freedom, AKA Big Gay Idiot DJ, AKA Bobby Beethoven, is one of the best and most influential DJs of the 21st century. Starting out at pioneering parties like Mustache Mondays and Wildness (which he cofounded with Wu Tsang)—and a regular at GHE20G0TH1K—Mines helped to define the style that would become known, however cringe-inducingly, as experimental club or deconstructed club, directly inspiring fellow visionaries like Arca. 

Like some of the best DJs before him, Mines uses the CDJs as an instrument, but that doesn't mean just fancy tricks and looping. Instead, he artfully throws together clashing sounds—effects, samples, monologues, pop and R&B acapellas, and beats that run the gamut from dancehall to kuduro to breaks and techno. He's not afraid of the grotesquerie of human life and movement (just check out the monologue at the beginning of this mix), and he likes to push buttons. Once he put on a party where dancing wasn't allowed. Some of his sets are intentionally anxiety-inducing, evoking horror movies and modern classical composers like Penderecki, while others are bouncy and ebullient, weaving between genres and tempos like an old-school platformer. The best are both.

On Mines's RA Podcast—a milestone 900th in the series—he shows off this inimitable style, sharpened and reinforced over a decade-and-a-half of playing some of the world's best parties, fashion shows, you name it. He's the kind of DJ who creates his own music as he goes along. He makes you hear old tracks—especially pop music and R&B—in a whole new way. Titled "Cursed Piercing," this is a near-hour of controlled chaos that'll confound you at one moment and deeply move you the next.

Gauzy bliss-out and pop abstraction to forward-facing dancefloor pressure, @imgonebaby founder Jetty (@mystictearz) delivers the 131st podcast. 

67 engrossing minutes from a real one. Definitely the handiwork for the brains behind a label that trades in the tender, mutant, smudged and sublime.

“Sometimes I’m catering to the imaginary techno-industrial board of directors… sometimes my eyes are closed and my brain is smooth. This one has been Schwinn and Salt Marsh approved - the true test of pure intent. All glory goes to the producers behind the songs I stitched together.” – Jetty

If-Only Podcast #131: Jetty

Every summer for the last 18 (!) years, MoMA PS1 has invited audiences to check out Warm Up, an outdoor music series presenting the best in underground, experimental music each Saturday, and 2015’s selection is looking unmissable. FACT have teamed up with the Warm Up crew to present a special series of mixes – one each week to coincide with the shows – so even if you’re nowhere near New York City, you can still enjoy this year’s lineup from afar.

The second mix comes from an artist who should be very familiar to regular FACT readers – Helix. The Atlanta-based Night Slugs affiliate has been an unavoidable presence in dance music over the last few years, and only last year contributed to our FACT Mix series, offering up one of our favorites to date. For his MoMA PS1 Warm Up mix, he’s thrown a little bit of everything in, from disco and electro to R&B and, of course, house, and it doesn’t ever sound forced. Isn’t this exactly what the summer’s supposed to be about?

Warm Up is every Saturday until September 5 at MoMA PS1, and if you need more information (including the excellent lineup) make sure you check the website immediately.
