I have been exploring ideas surrounding the beginning of a club and how you make first ‘contact’ with the dancers who walk in. For me it is a kind of sci-fi experience because you’re pulling strangers into your world of audio which can feel like such an alien experience- or at least that’s how I want people to feel, like it’s a vessel for discovery akin to space travel. I’ve been drawn to more downtempo sounds feeling it resonates with this more psychedelic experience of djing, as well as the experience for the clubbers. I want people to really d a n c e and get pulled into the gravity of what i’m curating. Hopefully this mix series will fulfill these ideas and in the process help myself discover new ways of weaving records together, all with the goal of expanding the mind and body.

In her own words...
'Through this mix I wanted to explore the idea of the heroes journey, with moments of intensity and hope by playing with bpm, rhythm and ambient motifs. I wanted to have a slow build of tension throughout, ending with something more upbeat as a release from the moodiness of the mix and to signify a new chapter in the journey.'

Naafi is a truly rare creative talent and is equally rare in the extent of her integrity and kindness as a person. This mix is a sublime blend of what it means to weave tracks together unravelling a celestial journey. Keep eyes and ears peeled over this coming year for her first EP release, her productions share a detailed and emotional infinity with how she approaches this stunningly expansive mix 💫

Contact Mix III [naafi]

Alliyah Enyo is the maker, the creator of 'The Nest'
I weave together two strands of golden vine
Each representing two timelines 
I see time falling over, crawling under and through them both
It is in my power to both weave and unweave
A circular experience of time

The Nest

Keep It Down Mix

Alliyah Enyo *Ascension/Destruction*

Her name is in of itself a cycle and so I breathe. Breathe life into my ecosystem through song, through dance, through ritual.

I embed my emotional landscapes into stories of mythology that resonate. This creates a space which is fictioned, a fragile world of scattered fragments, the remnants embedded into myths. A layering of organic dust particles settling into rock formations.

*Skin into landscape, mind into myth*

To resonate with female icons is to create a free fall. With the fall, the emotional material becomes free to connect with other stories, extending the thread of their life. This creates an immersive deep time state, a ‘worlding’ experience I can nest inside. My fragmented methodology connects the voice to the electronic. Using looping technologies, durational performance and movement, my process reflects my experiences of disorientation in time. What was once linear has now become cyclical, even magical.

*The whites of your eyes echo future songs*

Phenomena in sound are mirrored with the icons I explore. Currently I’m exploring the character of Echo, mirroring the emotional sound phenomena by playing with organic and electronic vessels to create this.

*I’ll only echo and dance among the ruins*

Vocals reverberate and resonate into the ether, incanting the body to a place beyond what we can control or categorise. I operate in the space of ...

*The invisible ruin that burns between us*

DJ/Selector

As a selector I am drawn to anything from brazillain jazz, bollywood, afrobeats, broken beats. If the record has a soul turntables give it another life, ecclectic but dogmatic in crafting specific soundscapes, I curate
DJ sets that weave together euphoric breaks, polyphonic drum patterns, reverberating vocals interwoven with slamming techno- the choral juxtaposed with contemporary electronic explorations. This journey through sound creates a trance-like state exlporing feminine ascending frequencies to entrance and pull you deep into the night.

*deep in slumber we sound a collective space for dreaming*
