at the end of the day it's a game ov two halves really init.

@aya_yco has dazzled the UK underground with her experimental club productions and genre-hopping sets, which she demonstrates in her exhilarating Recognise mix. The London-based, Huddersfield-raised artist also speaks to Sophie McNulty about how her creative upbringing in West Yorkshire informs her work, and how her hyper-detailed process allows her to create art that is genuine

Bringing the heat! Veteran Chicago footwork producer Jana Rush delivers a powerful blast of tight rhythms. Having started to DJ at the age of 10 and produce at 13, Jana Rush has developed her own unique take on the beloved genre. We're longtime fans of her slinky, shimmering productions and are absolutely thrilled to have her on the Body Verse series. Thanks so much Jana!!

BODY MIX 010 | Jana Rush

Podcast #55 stammt von Jana Rush (https://soundcloud.com/planetmurecords) aka https://soundcloud.com/jaru-1, einer der interessantesten Künstlerinnen Chicagos, der Stadt von Dance Mania. Das Label um DJ Deeon und seine Crew haben Jana musikalisch großgezogen und geprägt, seit sie im Alter von elf Jahren anfing aufzulegen. Keine Überraschung, dass sie in dieser Szene später auch DJ Rashad und andere Teklife Künstler kennenlernte. Dennoch fehlte ihr damals das Vertrauen in ihr eigenes Talent und Jana entschied sich, sich zunächst auf einen "richtigen" Job zu konzentrieren. In ihrem Artistprofile kann man zum Beispiel lesen, dass sie bei der Feuerwehr arbeitete, als Chemie-Ingenieurin bei einer Ölraffinerie und gerade als CT-Scan Assistentin im Krankenhaus. Musik war dabei immer eine Art mentale Rettungsleine für sie, etwas an das sie sich klammmern konnte wenn der Stress des Alltags zu groß wurde oder die Depression, mit der sie kämpfen musste, die Oberhand gewann. Indem sie diesen Struggle in ihrer eigenen Musik einfließen ließ (und immer noch lässt) hat sie ihren eigenen Sound und so am Ende zu sich selbst gefunden. "Painful Enlightenment" heißt dann passenderweise auch ihr aktuellstes Album. In den letzten Jahren konnte sie nicht nur als DJ Dancefloors auf der ganzen Welt beglücken sondern auch einige grandiose Releases auf Labels wie Objects Unlimited oder Planet Mu veröffentlichen, wo auch ihr neues Album "Dark Humor" im März rauskommt. Im April steht auch eine kleine Tour durch Europa an, die von Corona hoffentlich nicht vermiest wird.

Um ihren Style zu beschreiben greift das Label "Footwork" definitiv zu kurz, vor allem da Jana selbst eher ein gespaltenes Verhältnis zum Genre und seinen Konventionen hat. Schlauerweise macht sie jedoch diesen Konflikt zum Ausgangspunkt ihrer musikalischen Experimente und zitiert, destilliert und dekonstruiert fast jedes bekannte Footwork Motiv von sich wiederholenden, wild zerstückelte und neu zusammengesetzte Vocalsamples, 808 Drumsounds, Rhythmen, die ihren Puls zwischen schnellen Offbeats und swingendem Halftime-Feel verschieben bis hin zu smoothen Jazz-, Rap- und Soulsamples, die auf die reiche Musikgeschichte des Genres und Chicagos selbst verweisen in eine düsterere, dystopische Version. Besonders in ihren eigenen Tracks drückt sie dieser Mischung einen Stempel auf, der von ihrem persönlichen Struggle erzählt, vom Widerstreit zwischen dem Etablierten, "Erwachsensein" und mit "richtiger Arbeit" Geld verdienen, Alltagsstress und Depression auf der einen Seite und Innovation, zu sich selbst finden, Vertrauen in die eigene künstlerische Stimme aufbauen und Halt in der Musik finden auf der anderen Seite. Die Grenzen zwischen DJ-Set und Live-Performance verlaufen dabei fließend, denn ihr Samplepad hat sie meistens auch beim Auflegen dabei. Big ups to Jana for this breathtaking mix!

A reupload of a guest mix from 2015 that I prepared with the idea of juxtaposing the abstract reductionism of the duo SND and the musical genre of Chicago Footwork. 
From the moment I first discovered Footwork in 2010, I felt there were many similarities between this music and what SND and @markfellofficial solo create. The idea has been smouldering in my head ever since then to one day try to bring these two independent but so close sounds together.

Over the next weeks and months, we're going to release a series of podcasts recorded live at Unsound 2022. First up is DJ Travella's from Tanzania, who played a frenetic set to a packed room at 3am which you can now relive - just pump up the volume!

Associated with Nyege Nyege, DJ Travella's freewheeling sound has risen up out of the Singeli scene, yet is influenced by global genres like Atlanta trap, rave and dembow. It's like hearing gabber, carnival dance and '90s jeep beat tracks playing on top of each other – and who wouldn't want that?
