AIAIAI Mix 045 - PATRICK GIBIN

DJ and selector SelassieTBC is the co-founder of London label Pattern Sounds and is one half of Brownswood’s Future Bubblers team, on a mission to unearth and support some of the best up and coming talent through both ventures. You can always expect an eclectic selection with a soulful feel, either from his DJ sets or his NTS Radio show.

Selassie TBC on the mix:
"I wanted this mix to be a bit more dance focussed than my radio shows. I usually take a laid back approach on NTS, so took this as an opportunity to express myself in a different way and delve into a couple sounds and pockets that people may not necessarily know me for. Starts familiar, but goes to eventually goes elsewhere - it's all part of my musical taste. Plus end of lockdown is on the horizon (in the UK) so let's turn it up a bit."

AIAIAI Mix 046 - SELASSIE TBC

German electronic duo @FJAAK produce driving, energetic dance tracks which range from reflective power house to storming warehouse techno, with occasional U.K. garage, dub, and breakbeat hardcore influences. Gritty yet sensual, their tracks are composed entirely on analog equipment. 

Based in Berlin, Felix Wagner and Aaron Röbig had been making music together since childhood before they began producing techno as FJAAK during the late 2000s, while they were still teenagers. In 2021 they began to focus on their own labels: "FJAAK" and "SPANDAU20" which release schedules are tightly packed already!

FJAAK on the mix:
"The music we selected for this mix is energetic, powerful and to us very impressive, but also groovy & warm, sounding perfect on your AIAIAI cans. Get ready for a sweaty hour, it's gonna be dripping from the ceiling ;)"

AIAIAI Mix 047 - FJAAK

As a DJ and ‘musicologist’, there are few more serious than @antalrushhour. Trying to sum up the musical world of the Rush Hour founder with a few loose signifiers like house or techno would be futile.

Sure, everyone in the industry claims to have been music obsessives since youth, but few have taken it as far as this Dutchman. As a DJ who prefers proper tools like E&S or Rane rotary mixers and Dope Real isolators, since 1996 he has played all across Europe, Australia, Asia and both North and South America. Unlike many, though, he has a wealth and depth of music to call on that is so vast you never quite know what you are going to get: he is as comfortable spinning Chicago and Detroit influenced house as he is rare Afro funk, forgotten disco and everything in between.

Antal on the mix: 
"Just back from the Selectors Festival and Maiden Voyage festival in London, I finally had the chance again to DJ for an actual real audience. It was so much fun I am still feeling it. This was something I was really missing the last months.

So still in the mood, I was just spinning some tunes in the music room at a midtempo and at the same time I was thinking about the headphone experience and what would be nice to hear, so I went for the more clean and clear productions - but like always, eventually I am turning it around (this time to Brazilian music) for a few bits, only to get out of it again with some other sounds... anyways: all from the heart."

Tracklist:
Joe Claussell – Hallucinations Ejaculations
Gratien Midonet – Osana (Kuniyuki remix) 
Jade 4 U – Rainbows
F.J. – Fool’s Love
Odissey – Vire Love
Captain Mosez – Fly Cherry Fly
Warm – Blue Sunrise
Akendengue – Epuguzu
Sue Jorge – Chega No Suingue
Batista – Mode De Viole (Edit)
Tabo’s Project – Eyes Of A Child (Mgwa Bear edit) 
Friend Of Mine – Just Your Pride
Nathalie David – Coup De Foudre (Instrumental)

@djjasperjames' career has come a long way since his arrival on the scene as one of the youngest DJs to play the legendary Sub Club. Emerging from his roots as a leading tastemaker in Glasgow’s vibrant house scene and breaking away from his peers to become more than just a ‘one-to-watch’ but a respected figure in his own right. A DJ and producer with talent that stretches beyond his years, he’s crafted and developed his own brand of off-kilter house and heads-down techno through extended DJ sets at some of the world's most respected clubs including DC10, Fabric, The Warehouse Project, Smartbar, Blitz, Lux, Bobbeaman and of course, Sub Club.

Jasper James on the mix:
"I wanted to record this mix as if I was playing out in a club setting, which I’m just getting back into the swing of. I kept it live and raw sounding. I let the tracks pick themselves as I go, which I would do when I DJ out. The mix features some new and old records as well as some upcoming music from myself being released next month. Recorded with love from Glasgow x"

Chloe on the mix:
"I’ve been leaning hard into non-4/4 rhythms over the last year or so, and this mix is really a showcase of the kind of music that’s been really inspiring to me (electro, breaks, DnB, jungle. etc.) I’m especially into artists who are able to meld these genres with dark industrial and EBM tropes, which is definitely the direction I see my music moving in!"

AIAIAI Mix 050 - CHLOE LULA

@frankbooker has quietly built a worldwide reputation for incredible edits and DJ sets. His releases have gained huge support from heavy hitting disco and house DJs such as Horse Meat Disco, Todd Terje, Rahaan, Detroit Swindle, Session Victim, Red Greg, Jimpster, DJ Nature and many more.

When DJing, his music spans a wide array of quality black dance music: From deepest disco, to 80's boogie and cutting edge house music, as well as special re-edits all put together with a focus firmly on the dancers. Keep on!

Frank on the mix: 
"I put this mix together using my trusty Condesa Lucia Mixer, a Pioneer EFX-1000 unit and two CDJs. I wanted to showcase soulful, melodic dance music whether new or old. It got quite spacey thanks to the FX unit delays, but ended up back on earth with a message: Love to the world - From me to you! X"

AIAIAI Mix 051 - FRANK BOOKER

Spanish-born, Berlin-based @alienata is a self-described sound obsessive whose sets span obscure electro, acid, dub, IDM, dark disco, jakbeat, hypnotic techno, industrial atmospheres, break beats and much more.

With an increasingly international profile and support from the likes of DJ Stingray, Ben Sims and Ron Morelli, Alienata has visited well-renowned booths like Fabric, Panorama Bar and ADE, where she recently played b2b with legend Dave Clarke.

Next to her DJ career, Alienata started her own record label Discos Atónicos in 2017 and has released music with numerous imprints, most recently on Ben Sims’ Tribology compilation alongside Robert Hood, James Ruskin and Mark Broom.

Alienata on the mix:
"In this mix you can find a selection of tracks that have caught my attention lately. A journey between galactic breaks, dark basselines, raw snares & a touch of funk. It works well after a power nap! Enjoy it x"

AIAIAI Mix 052 - ALIENATA

Born in Germany with French origin, @mariemontexier's preferred format as a DJ is vinyl, a crucial part of why she began DJing and collecting music. 

Curious about genres and styles, multi-eclectic influences informs her sound. Her sets, mainly based on breakbeat and big on UK flavour, are global melting pots where genres and edges blur; oldskool acid, tribal-scented beats and trippy techno merge here. Marie brings a twisted quirkiness, lightening up a sometimes harsh-sounding corner of the scene.

Although new in the industry, Marie Montexier’s hard work has not gone by unnoticed: during her debut year of 2019, she was selected “Newcomer of the Year” by German music institution Groove Magazin, an honor for any artist. Since then, Marie went on to play venues across Europe, including the likes of Berghain and Fabric, and currently holds a residency at internationally renowned party Warning, taking place in Berlin.


Marie on the mix:

"This only vinyl mix is a club mix from summer 2021, a time when we had the chance to experience club culture together again. Usually I’m more into breaks, bass and techno but here I bring a lot of power house and acid into the mix. And don't be too sad, winter is here but summer will come again and we will be able to dance together again. Until then, enjoy the time with the music at home. - x"

AIAIAI Mix 053 - MARIE MONTEXIER

@sefkombo and @djkittyamor are two of the key protagonists in London’s flourishing Afro House scene; working tirelessly over the last 13 years both individually and collectively to build a name and exposure for the sounds they are passionate about. 

Sef created his highly popular brand Til Two in 2009, establishing a firm foothold in London and surrounding areas as the place to absorb the best and more forward thinking music electronic music from Africa, whilst Kitty in 2016 alongside Jonny Miller & D-Malice started Motherland in Grow, Hackney where it still takes place until this day: a intimate night that unearths the more underground and new House sounds coming from the continent. 

Now Sef & Kitty head up Motherland as well as Sessions as their residencies, which Mixmag recognises as “inspiring representation of the diversity of the city’s black community… with its jubilant and celebratory atmosphere.”

Sef and Kitty on the mix:

"The mix is a reflection of our time in Africa, we absorbed all different types of energies and expressions of sounds from the day to day life in the Motherland, from the different parts of Jozi, to Durban to Nairobi to Accra and hitting Cape Town the different flavours taught us new and different ways to approach the sounds we are really passionate about and to continuously keep an open mind and ear to what is coming out of the continent in the House space. The amazing consistency keeps us very excited about the future of music from Africa."

AIAIAI Mix 054 - SEF KOMBO & KITTY AMOR

Call-to-action vocals, hi-NRG synth riffs and ten-ton gabber kicks meet rave rinsers, scything electro, booming techno and even the odd rewind. @anastasiakristensen is a poster-child for techno’s lean out of its associated black hole, and into a spectrum of colours, textures and light. After years of sharpening her reputation as a resident at Culture Box, and in particular Mainstream, one of the city’s few LGBTQ nights, her international tour diary has exploded, taking in small parties and major festivals the world over, making her a magazine cover star who remains driven by connecting communities and elevating fellow music geeks. 

Remixes for artists like Special Request and Daniel Avery laid the path for deals to Warp offshoot Arcola and renowned label Houndstooth, extending the range of what Kristensen brings to the dancefloor, both as a DJ, and a producer putting records in DJ’s hands. By taking that vital first flash of energy and making it relatable, accessible and utterly infectious, Anastasia Kristensen has rapidly clicked with a great deal of people across all walks of dance music – and why she is set to keep doing so for years and years to come.

Anastasia on the mix:
“This is my first mix of the year and it reflects the sounds that I’ve been digging recently and playing at my shows. Tracks full of textures, wonky rhythms and pure dance floor energy.”

Based out of London, DJ and musical director, Lou Hayter, rose to prominence as part of the Mercury nominated electro-pop group, New Young Pony Club. Today she’s on the books of brands like Chanel, and has been dropping singles like honey across the past few years.

Words from Lou on the mix:
'In lockdown I went back to some of the house music that’s influenced me most in my life like the Moodymann album ‘A Silent Introduction’ which sounds so good at the moment. This is a mix of that soulful New York/ Detroit house sound that I love like Pal Joey and Dream 2 Science and those producers who are still making incredible records right now like Theo Parrish, it feels like a sound of then and now at the same time which I love.'

His own words on the mix:
It is a 90 minute mix which I really enjoyed putting together, especially during these times. Making the track selection and having these tracks on repeat for a few weeks wanted to really soak it all in myself before I made the mix, a variety of sounds something for everyone but definitely a good vibes mix. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.
