A 33mins Mix for Bergsonist [NTS_06/18/21]

@andrewakanbi

Based in New York but originally hailing from Lagos, Nigeria we have the awesome and charismatic wave god that is Akanbi! 

Having moved to NY in 2010 he developed a taste for electronic music which ignited his oozing passion for the dancefloor and naturally led to the birth of his own night GROOVY GROOVY. A night driven by the ideology of community and creating a dance floor welcome to all where judgment is non existent. Having come off of a stellar set at Sustain Release where he went b2b with Ronan it’s a pleasure to have him. For his mix he serves us with a chunky dose of Amapiano landing into a dreamy downtempo soundscape that slowly evolves into a deeper house groove!

@benufo

Big mighty drum rolls incoming for our second selector - ceremonial master of UK underground music, none other than Ben UFO! 

His influence on dance music culture is unprecedented and to have him record this mix for expOSe is a very special moment for us. We hope you enjoy the 60 minutes of body motion inducing oscillations from one of the best in the game.

ITPS103 AKANBI

Precious sonic souvenir from my debut explorations in China during the Music Magic World Tour earlier in the spring. Recorded live on a rainy sunday night at the best club in Shenzhen. I got scammed bad before my previous gig in Shanghai and I was trapped in the airport for 5 hours due to weather prior to arrival in Shenzhen. So I had to reach deep spiritually (no weed too smh) to position myself to deliver the vibes to the people regardless. Big proud with the outcome and I hope this 2hr bouquet makes your day better. 

Track ID requests welcomed in the comments.

Love, rave man.

interview live on –>–>–> www.wav.world/ –>–>–> @

wav.world emerged out of a long-running chat exchange of mixes, tracks, and some playful speculation: If you were going to make a platform for DJ mixes in 2024, what would it look like?

Mixes are a unique type of musical expression. They capture a specific moment in time, determined by the knowledge and style of the artist. A mix is as important a creative statement as an album, remix or EP. One mix can change an artist’s career, one mix can open a listener’s mind to something completely new.

𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓯𝓪𝓿𝓸𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓶𝓲𝔁𝓮𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼.

We miss the importance that mixes used to have. So, we made a platform for mixes.

Each wav.world mix gives one artist the time and resources to create whatever kind of mix they want, to share something sonic about who they are and what they love.

Every wav.world mix will feature a longform interview with the artist which gets to the heart of what moves them—in music and in life—through text, video and image. Each edition of wav.world will feature the commissioned work of music journalists, visual artists and graphic artists.

We're live in 2025! Akanbi offers up patient and deep excursions on this closing set of the club night. A compact thesis for his immense breadth and depth, while making it all make sense. Nobody does it quite like this.
