For the latest edition of DJ Mag’s Recognise series, New York-based, Kansas City-born DJ, producer and writer @sisterzo delivers an exhilarating two-hour mix recorded live at London’s UNFOLD (@foldldn)

In a candid accompanying interview with Michael McKinney, Sister Zo opens up about the pursuit of continual self-discovery that’s taken her to where she is today, from a childhood love of Tolkien and Pink Floyd's 'Time', through DIY parties and cross-country relocations, to releases on reputable underground labels like @3024world and sets at some of the best clubs around.

Usually hangin' around on the streets of Brussels while collecting/playing some wonderfully weird records and MP3's, Aroh DJ made it all the way to NYC for a special guest show on The Lot Radio.

We're ecstatic to present a sensational recording from a deep head, Compliments.

"Here's my two (and a bit) hour set from Field Maneuvers back in August, my favourite festival in the world.

This was by far the most time I've ever spent preparing for a single set or mix—I probably went through 10-15 crates of tracks, obsessing over flow, texture and tempo. Eventually, I landed here: an expression of love for dance music at 174/140 BPM.

After learning the recorder malfunctioned on the night, I quickly re-recorded it to ensure I reflected the flow of the night as closely as possible.


The set represents exactly what I personally wanna hear on massive sound systems right now and is a love letter to the hours danced in that field with my best friends.
Thanks for listening, I'm insanely proud of it." -- @djcompliments

The essence of psychedelia is disrupting expectations and altering perspectives - what better place to do so than in the vortex of the rave? 

It was an incredible honor to be a part of the inaugural edition of System Activate. The entire weekender campout rave was an exercise in intentionality, a generous labor of love with visionary execution. Anchored by a single stage with a pristine sound system, brought to life by a seasoned, die-hard-DIY team, and animated with an incredibly unpretentious, open-minded, and imaginative crowd of ravers, System Active was truly a novel, eye-opening adventure that struck real sparks of psychedelic inspiration. 

I believe this is one of the finest sets that I have played to date. Completely at ease in the booth, I played fervently and completely from the heart. This is a totally honest and unrestrained rendition of my creative screwball sensibilities as a DJ, conjuring a propulsive rhythmic tunnel and peeling away into moments of whiplash slack-jawed surprises. Rooted in wormhole-traversing techno but stretching well into psychedelic sludge, shameless sentimentality, poignant lessons, heaving bass-weight, and references to formative personally-precious material, this is a completely earnest translation of my psyche that also incorporates the work of friends and peers. 

It was a deep joy to be in the company of so many brilliant and clever dancefloor scramblers and dear friends as I landed us in dawn's first light. I am deeply grateful for this experience, and excited to share this transmission from the vortex.
