NTS GIGI FM PRESENT ARTHUR (SUMMER SOLSTICE SPECIAL)

Welcoming Nak to the series, whose repertoire of mixes and recordings makes a strong case for the Naarm-based DJ as a truly standout selector of the moment in any locale. Showcasing her ability to weave tracks—each stunning in their own right —into something truly celestial, Nak's set is boldly psychedelic, a constellation of rhythms that stretch and simmer, held together by a gravitational warmth and felt in every inch of the body. Thank you Isabel!

After listening to many Freerotation recordings over the years, it feels a bit surreal to share this one. I had such a great time meeting the freero community. Very special to feel the positive vibe and patience to build something new.

Andy Martin (@andy-martin) is one of my favourite musical discoveries from the last few years. A while back, after hearing an iconic tune he made called "Revolution" featuring Lee Scratch Perry, I was excited about his music, and also learning more about him as an artist. Andy is based in Guadalajara, Mexico, with Jamaican and Mexican roots.

Whilst I was touring Mexico, we shared a few gigs together, and all the locals referred to him as "the best in the country", which I can completely understand. Since discovering Andy's music I've been hooked on his productions, an incredible fuse of old school and new school dub techno, underpinned by influences from his heritage which flourish in the form of exciting percussion & unique, emotional melodies. 

On top of this, Andy is very humble, and  a very talented DJ, and I'm super happy to host him in the series. 

If you haven't heard his music, go check it out! So much to discover

Thanks again Andy <3

Next up for CoziMix 14 we have the boss of it all ANNX @annx-anna-whomp ! A legend and pioneer within the UK underground music scene, Anna aka ANNX is known for her impeccable and warm approach to bringing people together. Founder of the non-profit party Whomp, Co- founder of Perspectives party and a member of the Above below Family, she has a strong ear and eye for the deeper & mystical talents, mixing sounds and immersive lighting together to create the perfect setting. Annx's set at Above Below 24 b2b friend Noodle was one of our highlights to date with the most bass wobbling, Saturday afternoon Dubstep set we've ever witnessed. So we had to have her join the Cozi fam....with this special curated atmospheric & moody dub techno mix for us all to dive into....lock in xxxx

1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing? 
I’ve been passionate about dance music since I can remember, living in music-centric cities like Leeds and Berlin were super inspiring (I did my dissertation on clubbing in Berlin lol) but it never ever crossed my mind to become or learn to DJ. When I moved to Mile End in London in 2019, I lived in a large house with 5 gals which we chose because of a sexy two room basement that we then proceeded to use as a club for five house parties. We had a strict rule “no dicks on decks” to promote female-DJs and naturally I then taught myself to DJ since being on the aux in the basement didn’t quite cut it… 

2. Who, what/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why? 
Definitely at Kwia in Berlin in November 2021. It had just opened, I don’t even remember who was playing but I was totally mesmerised by the ‘shoes off’ policy, the cozy sofas and soft furnishings, the warm pastel colors, the incredible lighting and art installations, the sit-down DJ set-up and the fact they had a smoke machine. I went back every night of that trip because I was so obsessed. If I could make my future living room like I would..

3. Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the scene? 
On top of DJing I have my fingers in many musical pies including co-running two events, Whomp and Perspectives, as well as being on the Music team for Above Below Festival. Therefore I’d say I am an extrovert in the scene - I thrive off connecting with people around the world through music and have a passion for bringing new psychedelic sounds to London and the UK beyond. 

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?
SUCH a tough question…but I think it might have to be Unknown Artist - Untitled A1. The groove always puts me in a good mood and I love the weirdo vocals. It’s my favourite track to listen to after a night out. 

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? :)
It depends on the gig but usually I spend weeks digging (when I can) with the venue/time/lineup/crowd/country/promoters in mind. I try to reach out to the artists playing before / after me to understand their vibes and craft something interesting that’ll work. After digging I go through my rekordbox and make playlists of different vibes that I weave through during the sets. Some sets I plan more than others depending on how nervous I am…
