This is a vinyl mix. I don't mix to vinyl to be elitist, but mixing the physical plates feels akin to drumming, which is my background. I spend a lot of time on computers at work, so mixing wax feels like a welcome departure from digital reliance. Also, I enjoy working around the limitations of the medium.

Nocturnal Wax Presents: Studio 96 on WERA 96.7FM

Support the groove!

Nocturnal Wax Presents: Studio 96 #140 feat. Mischa Lively (April 23, 2021)

This is just my section of the 2 hour broadcast without the radio advertisements and host commentary. Originally aired during hour 2 on April 23, 2021 during the Studio 96 Show hosted by Nocturnal Wax on WERA 96.7 FM in the DC area. Special thanks to @nocturnal_wax for the invite. 

For this mix, I aimed for bleak disorientation + maximum song overlap. Some blends are 3, 4, almost 5 minutes long, though some are quick. It’s a scary, hallucinogenic, meditative, kinked-out journey towards an eventual reprieve into steadier club territory. What other mood would I have wanted to hear on independent radio, on a late drive before the age of streaming? That was the guide. As much as I would love to sustain one mood, the joy (and challenge) is pulling disparate records that in the end, surprisingly feel like family.

Nocturnal Wax/Studio 96 #140 feat. Mischa Lively (from hour 2, April 23, 2021)

Nashville's finest @mischa-lively has been holding it down with his @new_love_unlimited label and event series in Nashville for some time now, and his earnest touch with electronics buoys a necessary voice in a city known for its cultural and historic power in the American music industry, but overlooked by many off the usual dance music itinerary. I reached out to him this summer, drawing an Oblique Strategy to serve as a prompt, and having drawn 'think of the radio' we jettisoned directness in favour of "the glass prism as a multidimensional object". Starting with Crystal Ball era Prince, offering playful advice and guidance, Mischa's mix spirals down Drexciyan wormholes, restrained riddims, acidic peaks, his favourite Derrick Carter remix (not who you would expect), dance hypnotics, and contemplative and reflective energies.

Trans Am - Positron [1999, Thrill Jockey]

Abstract without Abstraction Mix Series 005

AW/OA 005: Mixed by Goreteks

Nashville-based producer, percussionist, and DJ @mischa-lively (née Blake Barton) has held a special place in our hearts over the past few years, ever since first discovering his work through his parties, and recordings on RACECAR and his own imprint, New Love Unlimited. Every new mix from Mischa is a true joy and an event that is bound to cure whatever ails ya. Likewise, his productions sparkle, consistently turning up in mixes from our most beloved selectors. For that reason, there's no one we'd rather have help us ring in the beginning of this wild, troubled, and hopeful year, with his dreamy brand of life-giving, rhythm-forward soul and italo. Our little islands feel more and more like an archipelago of love after each listen, and for that we're ever thankful.  

From the DJ:

"At the end of 2019, @ilind and I discussed me recording a mix for their series Abstract Without Abstraction. Nearly a year later, after adapting to quarantine, I finally submitted a mix to them. I selected important records from my personal history (plus a few newer acquisitions) and focused on the long blend, honoring mood and song structure. No longer having a monthly DJ slot, this is a snapshot of what I might’ve played during hour 1 of 5 at Duke’s had the pandemic never took hold. What is strange is this mix was recorded in early October 2020, and was guided by thoughts of renowned laid-back resident DJ, José Padilla, mixed eerily just a couple weeks before his death on October 18, 2020. This is my interpretation of José’s Balearic resident ethos, albeit less beachy and much slimier. Thank you José for reminding us that the person mixing is just the conduit for the greater magic already existing in the music. And thank you Isaac allowing my submission."
