Next up!
Canada's @napmusick treats us to just over an hour of scuzzy dembow beats, techno-dancehall crossovers & sludgy electronica. 
An absolute treat this, we're honoured to have NAP join the podcast series.
We also caught up with the donny himself for a lil chat, read below >


AM: We loved your mix a lot, where and how did you record it? Was there a theme behind it?

Glad you liked it! I recorded the mix in my studio with a moody xone mixer and x2 xdjs on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I’d say the theme is release. After the drag of a 9-5 week that sacred studio time on the weekends can be so special, especially with the current Montreal curfew. Channeling that ‘living for the weekend’ vibe here with some low-slung bass music I've been digging lately.


AM: We’re big fans of your label ISLA, how did it come about?

Thank you for listening! Isla was born out of a desire to document the music happening around me. I bought a used tape duplicator from a church in Abbotsford and started making very small tape runs of friends’. It’s grown a bit since but it's still just me putting whatever I’m excited about.


AM: We think Ambien Baby is fantastic, love Sophie too from when we had her down to play in Brighton, how did you guys come about forming the duo?

Oh thank you! That’s my best friend and soul sister. We’ve known each other since we were teens. AB is a reaction to our friendship and a vessel for us to explore sound & collaborate. 


AM: Out of music what are your interests? 

I'd say the interests are vast and ever-mutating!  In general, they lay in music rituals [music making/consuming], music’s therapeutic qualities, and its tireless research/ quest for its historicity.  


AM: Whats next for you this year? 

Finishing loose ends for some recording projects that have been in the works for some time, putting out some records im very excited about and learning how to tap/ dance flamenco.

AM Podcast #36 - NAP

Ez! 
A lil break in the pod series leads us to New York based duo Ma Sha Ru, stepping up for number 49. They've taken no prisoners with this 1, 50 minutes of heavy bass beltas. Sorta tunes that make you crave to wanna hear em on a system.  Big ups to them, a real corka of a mix :) 

We also caught up with em for a lil chat, read below! >

AM: What have you been doing recently? 

Setting up a new studio! haha We've been travelling to a few places last year to be together since COVID travel restrictions made things different. It feels nice to be finally back in NYC and have a proper set up. We also just released a new split EP with Ayesha on Kindergarten Records and a track on Pressure Dome compilation. Overall, we've been working on finishing more projects to come later in the year + preparing a new live set. Very busy and very much enjoying this! :)


AM: Your recent track for Pressure Dome as great, what’s the process behind your production? 

The process behind this track was actually atypical. The lyrics were written during our lockdown time in Minsk, Belarus. We talk about our willingness not to conform to rules that society puts on you and how to find a way to stay out of these limitations. The beat of the track was made during a short stay on an island in Italy during last Spring and deeply inspired by the freedom of the surroundings. There are water field recordings at the beginning of the track that were made on the spot. In this case we didn't have our machines with us since we were not in our studio, so everything was made in the box. Usually we involve the use of MPC 3000 and Bass Station II on our productions. 


AM: Where & how did you record the mix? Was there a theme for it as such? 

We recorded it in our apartment in Queens, NY. We recently moved a DJ booth to the living room, bought some big plants and set up neon color lights, so the vibes were just right! The set up is two XDJs 700, Pioneer DJM 600, a pair of KRK monitors. It's actually mad hot in NYC now, so we had a constant sound of the old AC working behind our backs but we think we still made it no matter how loud it was haha The idea behind the mix was to play some new stuff we got during this month and a few forthcoming bits from our friends. So happy to see everybody doing their thing - big up to our friends killing it with the tunes and labels!


AM: What have ya been listening to and digging recently?

Really enjoying the projects of our Kindergarten crew - Ayesha, Despina, Drummy, Stolen Velour and Ziyiz got something very hot in the works/forthcoming! We also just got back from a trip to Mexico CIty and felt very inspired by the Infinite Machine team and El Irreal Veintiuno productions. Of course, always big up to Sorry Records, Pressure Dome and Shubzin!

AM: Whats next for ya in 2021?

We have 2 EPs planned for the rest of the year/early 2022 and 4 compilations so far :) Going to start working on a new live set soon too, so we are looking forward to the future!

Lithe - & Drop

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.

James Massiah meets Lord Tusk - Open Up (Version)

“It's intended to be immersed in as if it was a film, in the first person. Set somewhere in the Middle East, from a busy market you're drawn by curiosity and some entrancing, ominous presence down alleys, stairways and tunnels, getting increasingly dark and distant from the outside world, eventually into some sort of glistening ancient cave. There you discover a beautiful and scary artefact, and in removing it you activate it and set off a ripple of undetermined supernatural consequences that create some cataclysmic event that changes the course of history and society and maybe the universe."

Forced to pause the events in the spring, our restlessness has manifested itself in the form of a debut label release: a 21-track genre spanning compilation.

We chose to work closely with friends and family, artists that have an affiliation with AM, each expressing themselves in their freest forms from broken-techno, glitchy breakbeats and mutant dancehall, to IDM & electro.
