"While making this mix, I wanted to explore the spaces between mind, body, and soul - the connections that unify. A therapist once advised me that to pull yourself out of an emotionally uncomfortable/panicked state, you can engage your physical/intellectual self to jolt out of it. And same goes for the other two in the trifecta ~ feeling mentally in a rut: do something that stimulates your body or soul, feeling physically anxious: do something that stimulates your mind or soul! I’m applying and sharing this simple, but effective advice in this mix for kinesis because music is a uniquely transcendent modality that engages and stimulates all three <333"

In a world where attention spans are constantly under siege by a myriad of distractions, the search for a reliable source of quality music can often feel like navigating a vast, unpredictable sea. In this era of inconsistency, there are shining beacons of reliability. One such beacon, which has consistently graced our monthly selections of favorite mixes, is the music platform Truants.
Truants has been a steadfast provider of top-tier music, a sanctuary where music enthusiasts can find solace in the promise of quality content. Among the architects of this musical haven is the talented and eclectic Riccardo Villella, a London-based designer and DJ renowned for his exceptional taste and mixing skills.
Today, we are thrilled to present to you this special mix, meticulously crafted by none other than Riccardo Villella himself. We vividly recall the moment we first encountered this mix – a serendipitous drive through the picturesque Spanish landscapes, rewinding our way from the Paral.lel festival to Barcelona. It was the perfect soundtrack to soothe our souls after an unforgettable weekend amidst the mountains. Mixes of this caliber have a unique power, a lasting resonance that ensures they become cherished companions, revisited time and time again.

Before we dive into this fabulous journey that Riccardo has curated for us, this is what Riccardo said in his own words about the process behind this remarkable mix: "It took me a little while to think of a direction to go in this. I've always loved the style and atmosphere to a lot of the mixes and tracks that get posted on Delayed but knew I didn't really want to record a techno or house mix. So I ended up putting lots of tracks on a half-time tip that evoked strong emotions of nostalgia and a hopeful sadness. I got to an hour of tracks and felt like I had perfect passage into more clubby double time stuff to round off the later stages of the mix. So there's a big switch half way through but hope it's seamless in essence. Some amazing tracks in there from some artists that are really doing it for me at the moment such as Morgan Wright, Cousin, Vardae, Downstairs J, Sobolik and Tom VR."

This year at Perpendicular I prepared a 100% vinyl DJ set, starting with sounds from the North Sea and its glacial landscapes that give way to psychedelic territories culminating in a sci-fi universe.
All this surrounded by nature and with an avant-garde electronic proposal very well subject to the most careful current affairs.

On the following night after my appearance at Berghain's Saule Space in Berlin, I had the honour of playing a three and a half hour warm up set for one of my musical heroes. 
More details below, taken from the event description on Resident Advisor:

"On 13th October, Pickle hosts an electro special, headlined by a rare appearance from Drexciya and Dopplereffekt creator Gerald Donald, who will perform live as his legendary project Arpanet; his first show under the Arpanet moniker in London for over five years. He's joined by Intergalactic Gary, who prepares a special set of Golden Age electro and breaks from Detroit and the UK. Support comes from Freerotation resident and supreme digger Alex Downey.

Drexciya is a name imbued with deep meaning for electro and techno aficionados. Together with his friend James Stinson, Gerald Donald created Drexciya in the early 1990s, releasing a series of seminal electro records that haven't been matched since. To those who know, some of Gerald Donald's finest work was recorded under the pseudonym Arpanet - electro at its deepest and most strange, brimming with early sci-fi references and afrofuturist subtext. Although he regularly performs as Dopplereffekt on festival main stages and cavernous warehouses, Donald hasn't performed as Arpanet in London for half a decade - until now. On 13th October, Arpanet comes to The Pickle Factory for a rare headline show.

He's joined by a welcome return from Intergalactic Gary. The Hague's finest was last spotted in Bethnal Green tearing the roof off Pickle after Convextion in February. This time, IG prepares a special Electronix set that sees him digging deep into his electro, breaks and Detroit techno collection. Support comes from one the UK's finest electro DJs, Alex Downey. The Freerotation resident has been on our radar for a while - he's a simply sublime DJ of dance music in all styles, rhythms and textures. Yet it's Downey's electro collection that has particularly piqued our interest. His 'Drexciya Wavejumper set', recorded in the Stinson-esque surrounds of Bloc Festival's pool stage, is an essential retrospective on the genre. Alex is the perfect man to warm the floor for an evening of Detroit electro on 13th October. "

o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

“The idea for the mix was born from a series of contiguous and isomorphic fever dreams. The mix takes the form of 3 different chapters and follows my trajectory that night within dream space: 3 times being lulled into sleep by arrhythmic ambience, 3 times being pulled into a colder, atonal space, and 3 times escaping discord towards tranquility. The mix drifts out of pure ambience into 3 sections at 3 different BPMs: the first of which explores half-timey 80 BPM grooves and liquid DnB; the second explores chugging 100 BPM and trip-hop grooves; the final part explores 120 BPM psy breaks and IDM.”

After growing up on the renegade scene of Montreal, como se DJ moved to Brooklyn and founded the DIY party series RECESS with the intention of bringing a psy-forward sound he felt was missing in New York City. Inspired by forest raves and experimental dance music, he dreamt up his party with the desire to conjure the feeling of dancing in open nature with your friends. como se DJ’s sets strikes a balance of body- and heart-activating psychedelia. At once mischievous and emotional, he pulls in sonic elements of bass, deep techno, prog and electro, flirting with genre and groove, while maintaining a lush, blissed-out undercurrent.

According to Koodoo playing music is all about telling stories. Therefore he likes to take his audience on a challenging and immersive trip along the outer bords of contemporary dance music. Don’t discuss genres with this fella, cause he hates pigeonholing. KooDoo likes to play all sorts of music; from bass to trance, from acid to ambient.
