Mixes

We have Amelia Holt in charge of this week's Rhythmic Culture podcast. The Mexican born, NYC-based artist is a regular and distinctive part of the Brooklyn club scene. Her DJ sets fuse Latin rhythms and electronic beats, transforming the dancefloor into a culture-bending, otherworldly experience.

Her mix is a perfect soundtrack to the sunny days ahead. "It's for summer. Inspire people to get back to dancing," she points out. Enjoy the groove.

For Number Fifty eight... A very special live recording from two US based queens, @ameliaholt & @notyumiko , who make up two thirds of the 'In Your Dirty Ears' crew. This set was recorded at Public Records in NYC. In Your Dirty Ears currently hosts a residency at Public Records. Amelia also hosts a bi-monthly radio residency on @movement-radio-athens.

Cut from the In Your Dirty Ears residency at Public Records, the mix spans from trip hop and dub to bass heavy dance music with Amelia Holt on for the first hour, followed by Yumi for the later hour and a half. The two alongside Sara Casella run a monthly newsletter focusing on exciting new releases and mixes circulating amongst the three. You can sign up here: tinyletter.com/InYourDirtyEars

Thank you so much for your contribution to the series Amelia & Yumi! <3

Well well well... Another year has passed by! 

So happy to end it up with a mix from this upcoming big artist from nyc. Mexican born, @AmeliaHolt is a resident at @publicrecordsnyc and a host at @movement-radio-athens. 

This mix was recorded in the legendary Good Room last month, and definitely takes you on a trip to other dimensions. House, breaks, IDM and beautiful baselines that surf trancy synths. Could imagine how sweaty that dancefloor should have been, so much rythm man...

A hypnotic live set recorded at Brooklyn’s Public Records.

Amelia Holt is a mainstay in Brooklyn’s electronic scene, known for her experimental and shapeshifting sets and community projects including In Your Dirty Ears and Cute af series on Movement Radio. 

The former is a weekly music newsletter that started out as an audio-visual program blending cross-genre music with a collage of visuals designed as experimental sensory therapy. The latter, which she curates with Noff Weezy, focuses on various micro-communities worldwide making an impact in the electronic music scene. It’s one of our favourite series at the moment (the latest one with Ura is especially good).

As we’d hoped, Amelia’s recording doesn't adhere to any preconceptions about what a Theory Therapy mix should sound like. It’s a live recording taken from a recent Public Records event that spans trip hop, deep house, IDM, and bunch of other unbelievably good, mind-bending, bass heavy club music. 

Play this one loudly.

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

Hi! I am Amelia Holt. I am from a small town in Mexico called Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas. I have been living in NY for six years and currently reside in Greenpoint. 

A fun fact about me is I love watching erotic thrillers films.

Favorite music collective atm?

I recently visited Brussels and I am really loving the Club De Tour parties organized by Louis Vogue and Soumaya. The space is wide; it feels like an abandoned parking garage. The lineup was beautifully mixed with a few familiar names but mostly new, so I enjoyed the feel and discovery aspect of the party. 

Describe the vibe of your ideal party? Space? Smell? Drinks? Anything you can think of ;)

Space: So, I have been dreaming about partying in a public library (“biblio-tech”). The space should be active during the day as a regular library and then after closing would transform into an experimental /visual/ dance space. Anyone who wants to enter biblio-tech can by using their public library card ;) 

Drinks: Anything alcoholic infused with herbs and teas to make it “healthier”  - plus the kombucha from Magik City.

Smell: It will smell like culture and history in the making ;-P

Advice to beginning djs?

Do the happy hours! Both Bossa Nova Civic Club and Jupiter Disco have great happy hours and it's a good place to practice getting your hands on equipment. 
Also, go into a rabbit hole of music discovery on YouTube. I find so much music just by clicking the next recommended track. 

Secret weapon track? 

Currently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHuJ8Z6EDaA

Describe the best dj/live set you have seen this year? 

2020 has barely begun but the DJ set that blew me away was Miss Jay. She knows how to read a crowd and mix dance with hip hop selections.

Most underrated artist at the moment?

Alien D - he just released a beautiful EP Sunday Painting, go check it out!

What is your prediction on the next music genre re-vamp 2020?

TRIP HOP please! 

Favorite DJ trick?

I usually like to start my sets again in the middle of a current set, so I love throwing in a Machine Woman track. Any of them work, but this is the one I like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaE5KR4TtyI

Describe the first moment where you had an epiphany about your love for music?

This has happened a few times, but perhaps the most inspiring time was at the Lost Soul x Sublimate boat party back in 2018. It was such an amazing location, a secret maze to get on the abandoned boat. The lineup was beautiful and the vibe, PLUS the sound of submerged vivid techno. I hope someone does something like that again. 

DJ dream of yours?

I want to build a DJ/ artist network that facilitates bookings and information between cities; a flow for people who don’t have agents and don’t know how to get booked.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More funds and support from the established institutions that allow djs/ promoters to throw residencies & one off parties. It is not easy to sustain a musical lifestyle in New York, so I am hoping there is a positive change in that.

Next into the FH mix series is Mexican born New Yorker, Amelia Holt.  Amelia’s ability to weave her sets using an array of genres pulled from niche scenes has resulted in her name becoming synonymous with Brooklyn's underground club circuit. From brazen Latin sounds to delusional krautrock, Amelia's distinguished approach to selecting has led to a resident show on N10.AS, and sees her frequently guest on Lot Radio. 

This time around for the FH series, Amelia leans to her record bag to provide an eclectic mix that reflects her disposition throughout lockdown. In her own words... "This mix is one of the soundtracks to my isolation, it is a selection of dark experimental sounds weaved with a meditative touch that quickly dilutes to a whirlpool of penetrative intense rhythms".

Brooklyn's Public Records resident, Amelia Holt, takes over the next Baka Gaijin Podcast – 96 minutes that were recorded during the pandemic on a country home upstate in New York 🌳🦦

„The mix is a summer selection of a mix of genres. Hope you like it and enjoy the journey. :))„

Baka Gaijin Podcast 120 by Amelia Holt

Based in New York, Amelia Holt is a disc jockey and a collector with sophisticated taste. The way in which she pieces together a narrative through music is fascinating and this has perhaps been best showcased through a selection of mixtapes that's she's released online for the likes of Mitamine Lab and Knowing Something amongst others.

Her taste is far reaching and having spent time behind the counter of a record shop in New York she has amassed a wealth of knowledge. 

Recently Amelia launched a residency on Public Records' online radio and streaming platform Public Access on which she invites dj's to curate audiovisual material. It's a testimony to her own taste and her notion of curation.

There's a lot more to come from her but we'll let her tell you all about that for herself.

She goes by the name of Amelia Holt, and if you're someone who craves curations that go far beyond the norm, familiarise yourself with this name. 

Enjoy mix number 43 of our HAWSMIX series. Thank you Amelia.

A hypnotic ride presented by Amelia Holt (@ameliaholt), Mexican born DJ, collector, and Brooklyn's Public Records resident. 

`I am currently enjoying the last weeks of summer in Upstate New York with my best friend and her family. I been taking it easy and planning some music projects for the next year and hopefully some traveling plans too.

I am also flying to Texas end of September to visit my family and spend the rest of 2020 there. Anyway, this mix is called Drive Thru, as it was made for the journey upstate. My favorite place to listen to music beyond the club is a car, since there are no limitations to how high you can pump up the volume.´

Recorded on Tivoli in June of 2020.

Amelia Holt is the first guest for Them Podcast Series, who share with us an hour of what she does better - playing to the people.

Mexican born, NYC-based Amelia is a regular and distinctive part of the Brooklyn club scene. Her DJ sets fuse Latin rhythms and electronic beats, transforming the dancefloor into a culture-bending, otherworldly experience.

She has played in clubs such as Good Room, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Sultan Room, Jupiter Disco, Mood Ring, H0l0, Output, in addition to holding her own residency at Public Records. Outside the US she has brought her sound to Mexico City, playing at Yu Yu and in the Oblivion Pt.2, Portugal at Desterro (Lisbon) and Passos Manuel (Porto), Berlin at Fluff and Zagreb's Price On Request.

In her sessions, you will hear brazen Latin sounds, fresh Tropicalia, deep high octane, fine and elegant dance, alt techno, sharp electro, claustrophobic experimental music, post-punk punches and delusional krautrock. Without a doubt, she is one of the most interesting DJs in the spectrum of the New York scene.
