accep Let's make your music stand out! 🌟🎵 -  insclife

We return to NYC where the wonderful @lycheefrut has us fully submerged in a wobbly world of ambient techno moods and grooves. Restorative mind state hypnosis for the early morning acid dreamers with moments of total serenity! 

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time/place in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. There are a few recent moments that I drew from: I had pulled a lot of dreamy tracks to close out the intimate Sunday evening queer party I throw with my friends called Antidote, and for a b2b with my friend threehz at their party dream/self. I usually spend a lot of time planning a tracklist for studio mixes, but this time, I was struggling to sequence or choose between the tracks I had pulled.

On New Year's Eve, a few friends came over to my studio to pass some time before going to a rave where I was working the door at 8am, and they all ended up dozing off while I was DJing. I was trying to play music that was both energetic enough to keep me awake, but not too intense for people who were sleeping. A few days later, I ended up recording this mix in one take with no strict playlist, drawing from that moment; it was a fun experiment in trusting myself to find a more organic flow.

Q. As someone who’s actively involved in a number of interconnected projects and events within NYC’s underground dance scene, tell us about the idea behind your Spontaneous Affinity outlet for zines, mixes and long form interviews that regularly feature important insights from DJs, producers and organisers alike. 

A. The series has been on a bit of a pause / slow paced moment lately as I focus on getting some other aspects of my life together :) but the idea was to use the interviews to draw connections between different nodes of people working to build scenes in different places. Everyone gets the same set of questions to choose from; it's always fun compiling it all into a zine and seeing what kinds of commonalities emerge. I hope to find time to work on another zine before the end of this year!

Q. And finally, I really enjoyed your set opening up The Grove at last year’s Sustain-Release! Tell us about how you found that whole experience, and how did you approach a set like that where you could seemingly take things anywhere over the three and half hours..

A. This set was a heavy one for me – I've been to every Sustain, and it was a formative part of my journey deeper into DJing and music. This summer also came with a lot of big losses and transitions. I spent as much time journaling and meditating as I did organizing music, and wanted to make space for others to process difficult things before diving into party mode in a psychedelic environment.

As far as the musical approach, I thought of the set in 7 or 8 "chapters" that could expand or contract depending on the energy and vibe. I've played a lot of opening sets over the years and lately have wanted to push myself within that; here, instead of the standard ambient → techno type opening set, I wanted to play with a structure where the set built into a mild frenzy and then settled back down before the live acts that played after me.

Not many people can combine the worlds of contemporary, avant garde and club sounds the way 'A Colourful Storm' label head Moopie can. Having birth the label out of the highly regarded mix series of the same name releasing names like Klon Dump, Valentina Magaletti and some beautiful compilations curated from Time Is Away to name a few, Moopie real name Matthew Xue, has shown he has a phenomenal ear for the diverse and interesting. This same ear also applies to his outstanding DJ sets which have seen him join stages with the likes of Ben UFO, Helena Hauff as well as taking the helms recently in Pickle Factory all night long to a solid packed venue til morning. For this mix Moopie has supplied us with a live recording of his opening set for Objekt and CCL in Melbourne. A perfect example of his vast stylings bringing the mood filled room into a raucous party. We had a quick chat about the mix, whats coming up and the label with the man himself.

Phonica Mix Series 117: Moopie

LT is perhaps the most underrated producer out there right now. Releases on the likes of Rhythm Section and X-Kalay have cemented his place.

His music is deep and emotive, drawing upon influences from Techno, Hardgroove and IDM. It always carries a deeply pensive and euphoric undercurrent which plays out delicately on the dancefloor and makes for as much a listen as it does for a dance.

LT retains a low profile, lets the music very much do the talking and in this day and age, thats admirable.

This mix demonstrates a deep rooted understanding of electronic music, weaving between textures and tones to create a beautiful journey which encapsulates the listener in a fast paced world of dreamy soundscapes.

Dubbed out and hyped up.

Slammin in at no. #9 in our illustrious mix series this week is none other than the reluctant but rightfully crowned king of Long Island, Ron Morelli.
   Perfectly rendering a feverish club kid’s ultimate cityscape in sound, Ron presses the old n new up against each other as a relentless 4-4 jackin beat creeps underneath. It’s riding the subway with your friends at 1am; it’s feeling faded in the back of a taxi screaming down 2nd ave; it’s pounding the club walls with your fists as sweat drips down your face - DON'T HOLD BACK!

The latest update to the Virtual Utopia servers has come in the form of a 107-minute audio-experience from the duo behind the labels last release 'Panspermia'; Beltrac & Urban Guidance. (@beltracc & @urbanguidance)

A pitched-down and blissed-out voyage; exploring every expanse of downtempo, IDM, ambient techno and trance; all infused with a smiling optimism and organic, uplifting breaks throughout. This mix effortlessly transfers those who engage with it to an alternate realm of unparalleled beauty, with a calming tranquility that eases the body, mind and soul. Here you can lounge in paradise.

Subtle reflections of the sun catch your eye as they gleam off the slow-flowing water. You match the streams pace and stare into the horizon in awe at nature's phenomena. Every colour in the sky slowly becomes more vivid and you feel gradually more weightless. The edges of existence begin to glow and you close your eyes, relying only on sensation. Here you begin your voyage into distant lands.

A big thankyou to Beltrac & Urban Guidance for submitting this mix to accompany their recent release on the label 'Panspermia' from March. Listen out for a couple of their own productions in this beautiful soundscape. ❤️
