Can't believe the Animix series is already at number forty! and what a way to celebrate with this iconic mix from Philadelphia based @opheliaxz. The talented DJ & producer weaves an emotional, perfectly erratic and rhythmically exciting journey, filled with everything from ambient and downtempo to wiggly dnb & jungle tunes. 

A scroll through Kelsey's Soundcloud reveals her knack for heavenly sounds, with a bunch of beautiful original tracks - including a track on this recent @lillerne tapes compilation - https://lillernetapes.bandcamp.com/album/lillerne-122-fundraiser-compilation

On this mix, Kelsey wrote "i wanted to showcase bass textured music in a different context, kind of a slow roller type of way with a few sneaky bits in between tracks.i have been fortunate to start traveling and playing out again and nobody here in the states dives into bass, dnb, dubstep stuff  often so i felt it really important to show off the textured bits and how it can be fun and versatile."

Love it so much, and hope you do too!

Thanks again Kelsey

Recording of Simo Cell's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

Dekmantel Selectors 2021 was a much needed musical reunion. After the preceding period of stillness, the catharsis and pure joy of finally being together again has been overwhelming. In the words of Simo Cell: "It's 7pm, and I have 5 missed calls on my phone: 'We're expecting massive rain tonight and we will have to close your stage earlier, is it okay for you to play earlier?' No time to stress and to think about it. I left my place and started my set straight away. From a few people to a packed dancefloor, I built up slowly from 90bpm to 160bpm (you know the drill). Pretty happy about the progression of the set and the rise in intensity. In the end, the crowd turned into a mosh pit on XXXtentacion and I had the best time behind the decks. It's good when things sometimes happen spontaneously like that. And it didn't rain after all."

@napmusick, aka Daniel Rincón, is a Montréal based producer, DJ, and label boss at @sonidoisla. Aside from a recent slew of excellent releases on Isla showcasing some of the best contemporary Canadian dance music, he is also one half of producer duos @ambien-baby (with D. Tiffany) and La Fe (with Michael Red).

His mix for Eto Ano is a masterful amalgamation of songs pulled from all instances and contexts of daily life, providing both a transportive experience and sonic insight into Daniel’s day-to-day ventures. In his own words, it’s a “pretty colourful reverie of music; from pop, wave and Balearic tunes to Afrobeat, Reggeaton, and dub. Special shout out to a lot of the online radio stations I was listening to while shazaming for this mix [Clyde Built, Radio Alhara, Radio Radio, NTS, Refuge Worldwide, Balamii].”

The cover illustration by our dearest Noah Prebish is a rendition of a few ear-catching Shazam instances in El Chalateco, Daniel’s favorite Salvadorian restaurant in Montréal.

More about Hodgepodge: 

"We want to learn more about our friends, not just through the music they’re actively digging for but, through the sounds that unexpectedly touch them during their daily lives. DJs create a mix primarily consisting of tracks they’ve identified (via audio identification apps) out in the world & try to recall where they were, what about the song made them want to identify it and other fun anecdotes." - Eto Ano

ETOANO Pr. HodgePodge Mix 003: NAP

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

@opheliek blesses Body Verse with an eclectic, rapid and confident mix of witchy dub, proper drum n bass, ethereal ambiences and unexpected rhythms. The France-born, Berlin-based DJ and @refugeworldwide resident manages to fill the mix to the brim without overcrowding it. Minute spaces remain between the hits. Combinations of seemingly disparate genres just make sense, resulting in something truly special.

A live recording of Sampi’s DJ set at the end of an 80-hour party celebrating the new year at Renate. Featuring pulsating rhythms of deep techno, trance, breaks, dubstep, and occasional grime, igniting the dance floor and keeping the crowd engaged. With flowing transitions and daring twists, each track is a testament to the power of music - while tragedies are happening in the world, music never fails to unite, provide hope, and heal.

Huge thanks to Sean H for the trust and invitation, Altjira for setting the perfect tone, and to Harrison for featuring this recording on their esteemed podcast series. But above all, gratitude to the incredible dancers who fueled this experience with their energy and enthusiasm, making it a truly magical celebration.

Love,
Sampi

Why do you think it's important to DJ? 

A way to tell your story, to be part of a cultural archive and a sharing in folklore/ grassroots. Important to look at djng as a way to connect the dots between sounds and people (not capital). 

Describe your favorite club in the world?

Almost always parties put on by friends in places off the beaten path. Most memorably, any party that’s happened in the woods of Stanley Park.

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation & you give me a track 

** Climbing a volcano-- gunna erupt!!

Public assembly

Describe the vibe of your first DJ set?

Sleepy sunday vibe at a Tiki bar in Vancouver BC with the 30 guitar records I owned at the time.

Describe what you would want your rider to look like as a DJ all star playing Ibiza…

Sensory deprivation tank, oxygen bar and gummy bear chandelier.
 
Describe the first moment where you had an epiphany about your love for music?

Getting a discman in concurrence of the napster advent and burning cds felt special and allowed me to discover so much music! 

Favorite weird drug experience? 

Hooping MDMA and going to Robert Johnson for the first time.

Any advice about what to do with free time during this moment of social distancing?

Express yourself
