XDB at Outro Lado - Waking Life '23

As part of our podcast series we proudly share the recording of the first part of NM DJ's set during our anniversary celebration at OHM.

Nadia Marcus is a poet, vocalist, DJ and designer. She spins under the NM DJ moniker, holds a residency at Berlin’s Refuge Worldwide radio station, and plays regularly for another residency at the listening bar kwia. Her musical range is wide, spanning spaced-out deep house cuts to hip-hop to liquid drum & bass – whatever the genre or style, the presence of groove and spirit is paramount, and has bumped out of systems across Berlin such as OHM, Tresor, Arkaoda and Sameheads. 

Marcus is co-editor of TABLOID Press, an imprint founded in Berlin in 2014. The publishing house maintains a focus on the text as a social space – for instance, in 2022 TABLOID released Breathing Room, a longform interview with Lakuti and Tama Sumo, focusing on pre- and post-pandemic dancefloor culture. Marcus’ poetry, art criticism and lyric journalism, often circling around the history and poetics of dance music, have also appeared in Arts of the Working Class, The Ransom Note and Edit. In addition to the collections of clothing Marcus silkscreens and releases under the TABLOID imprint, she has worked as a designer for numerous record labels including Uzuri, 3XL, wood//work and West Mineral Ltd.

NM DJ - Our Society Podcast #002

Inspired by – and dedicated to – Malek and Leticia ♥️♥️

Every time I consider to finally step down from the DJ booth with a bold statement another opportunity arises with a high promise to become the chance for an even bolder statement. And her I am, continuing.

So, what to play this time? One recent night gave me the inspiration: a music lovers' trio (me included) hanging at a friend's place while tripping smoothly on mushrooms (me excluded) was wondering which music would be the appropriate accompaniment.

I proposed my "Psychedelic Soul" set (it's here on my SC page) which I believe belongs to the most flawless and fluid mixes I ever managed to conduct. Somehow the flow happened almost by itself here, plus: "surrounded by nature, outdoors vibes and the heavy, monsoon-like rain must have been a great inspiration". So why not get this spirit back into the club, surrounded by a Get Perlonized nature, family vibes, and a heavy monsoon-like love for music! Consequently, back home I delved into the shelves of club psychedelia that had remained untouched and dusty for quite a while.

At Zenner Club, I was very moved when quite a few people in the crowd told me that they had only come to hear me play and that my performance was the one they've been tripping to in the most pleasurable manner. Which confirms me that it is advisable never to follow a safe path in favour of always looking for an adventurous music journey (in this case with the echo of a mushroom feel). The extra fun part of the mission was: 30% of the tracks I mixed I had never played before.

These experiences keep me continuing while still looking for the ultimate boldest statement to step down from the DJ booth. It seems it didn't happen, not even this time.

Mixed + recorded live at "Get Perlonized", Zenner Club, Berlin, 04.10.24

James Dean Brown – Get Perlonized (Psychedelic Soul)

Nodo : Cada uno de los puntos que permanecen fijos en un cuerpo vibrante o un movimiento ondulatorio. 

Iago nos trae un segundo mix, introspectivo y con ritmos lentos, todo en vinilo. Podría decirse que es una búsqueda de raíces dentro de su meridiano musical. 

Fresh tunes en radio meridiana, tu plataforma anti spotify para verano!

Another mix from the recording of May PACIFIC MODE. 003 marks the swift return of YELLOWUHURU (@yellowuhuru), the founder of the Tokyo-based party collective under the concept of House & Experimental “FLATTOP”.  This set started at 5am for closing of the night. He is finding his updated DJ style as “Future Deephouse” defines trippy collages but also freshness into the morning that makes both body and soul dance.
