Been a few minutes since I shared audio from a Nowadays residency, so here you go :) 

Another closer from 3-6, this one was especially fun post-EU tour, had a lot of stuff I'd been dying to rinse. Big ups to Coco Bryce + Bluetoof for joining me on this one. Forgive me on the mic, thanks to my formative wedding sets over the years I am usually an OK mic person (when I'm not celebrating my bday) :P :D :X

Italian innovator @tsvisions fires through a mix of propulsive club sounds, including unreleased @nervoushorizon material.

"With this mix I wanted to showcase the music I've been making over the past months, forthcoming material from Nervous Horizon, as well as tunes from some of my favourite producers. It’s a snapshot of where my sound is at the moment. I'm quite happy with how this mix has turned out, it used to be quite rare for me to play my own music in mixes, but lately I’ve been really enjoying it!"

The Mix is our new online mix and interview series, dedicated to the spectrum of electronic music from around the globe, exploring sounds and stories from the early days of rave to the future.

Mixmag has a long history of publishing mixes, from our legendary cover CDs accompanying the print magazine to our worldwide video streams in The Lab. Last year we celebrated 40 years in the game and The Mix now arrives as a fresh outlet to document DJs and the musical movements they represent, showcasing their sound alongside an in-depth interview. The design pays homage to a previous Mixmag logo from the ealy ’90s, nodding to our heritage while using the square and rectangular building blocks to construct an aesthetic that works cohesively with contemporary design elements and digital motion systems.

We’ll still be bringing you the Cover Mix, The Lab and occasional sets in other formats, with The Mix is taking the place of our In Session and Impact features, intending to bring an updated look and vision to our flagship weekly DJ profile and sequencing them into one place, without separation. We hope you enjoy.

Nick León (@NICKLEON) is an artful DJ and producer from Miami who has always operated at the experimental fringes of electronic music. Though he has always pushed at the boundaries he never fully loses sight of the dance floor while colliding reggaeton, techno, ambient, dubstep and hip-hop. He is a frequent collaborator and something of an album specialist who most recently took inspiration from Florida’s diverse sub-aquatic ecosystems on his superb Projections of a Coral City album alongside Coral Morphologic.

Nick will be joining us at Dekmantel Festival 2024 and this week's mix is a great way to keep you going until then. It's an hour of loose-limbed and largely genre-less rhythm with a naturalistic feel. There's a blend of filtered and futuristic voices and centuries-old dancing rituals that take you to the heart of an ancient rainforest, all with his signature Latin flavours and an undercurrent dembow-laced beats.

In the years since doors and floors have opened back up post-pandemic, it’s still nice to hear a crop of newer artists experimenting heavily with half-time tempos and mechanoid sound design; a welcome zag from the blisteringly paced, festival-ready music that’s a bit overly reliant on referencing the past. Dual Monitor is one of these newcomers that has consistently upped the bar for themselves and their peers across the UK Bass continuum since arriving on the scene. Comprised of Fliss Mayo & Zebb Dempster, Dual Monitor has had a relatively fast ascent, weaving strands of everything from proper dubstep and R&B, to techno and dembow into a seamless quilt of absolute barn-burners. 

They’ve released a number of singles with Cloudcore, a label that has proven over the past few years to be as vaporous as they are provoking, and they’ve let loose other undeniable projects on labels like DJ Cosworth’s tools-leaning HARDLINE. Earlier this month, Dual Monitor announced their 4th release of the year: an immaculately produced 2-tracker EP off SPE:C. Step Pattern is an absolute showcase of Fliss and Zebb’s incredible ability to marry the rhythms of bygone eras with au-currant textures. We’re lucky to be able to connect with the duo, who’ve put together an incredible blend of tracks for our MIXED BY series, and have answered a few questions from us as their latest output continues to seep deep into the psyche of the broader electronic world.

It feels like a lifetime ago now: 25th Jan, we had no idea what 2020 had in store for us all; Cleyra was finishing off his set of elegant, tripped out and slinky rnb-meets-Techno upstairs; Mehtola had sealed the brick in the dungeon with an extra varnish of "tuff", punching holes in the air with mean, broken, bass wrecking sluggers; it was time for the French lads to step up.
. 
The Fusion Mes Couilles residents delivered three hours of a fuckin mental hammering of everything "ball breaking": hardcore, acid, techno, ghetto tech, trap, jungle and everything inbetween. Mean and fringe burning; people were pulling themselves up the the stairs, out the dungeon, needing a break, having no idea what just hit 'em!
. 
Here is the final 1.5h of what was a really special set. Needless to say, you can hear everyone present, well and truly got loose. 
. 
Big love and thanks to all those that performed, attended and helped make GET LOOSE #2 a real special night to remember.

GET LOOSE #2 - Emma DJ + Toma Kami

Ayesha’s performances reflect a playful curiosity and a decade of experience honed in DC and NYC’s vibrant club and warehouse party scene. As a beloved resident at Nowadays, she weaves through percussion-based techno, breaks, garage, and everything in between, delivering heady, maximal body music tailored for the dancefloor. As a DJ, her style is eclectic and dynamic, drawing from North America’s techno underground, leftfield UK sounds, and her Indian heritage.

Ayesha is gaining recognition as a producer of forward-thinking club music. Her music, hypnotic, pulsating and powerful, is as fitting at a deep forest festival as it is in a sweaty basement or dark nightclub. It's crafted with meticulous sound design, spongy textures and alien melodies. She writes tracks with deliberate consideration for how bodies move – and how music moves bodies – making her work unusually tactile and physical.

Her 2021 EP, ‘Potential Energy,’ released on UK label Scuffed Recordings, marked the beginning of her rise. Subsequent releases on Fever AM, Control Freak, and contributions to NYC label Eto Ano’s ‘No Cash In Booth’ compilation further solidified her status. Her debut album, ‘Rhythm is Memory,’ released on Kindergarten Records in 2022, was lauded as “a revelation” by DJ Mag and “a fierce mission statement” by Resident Advisor. Mixmag placed her at number two on its list of the 25 Producers Who Defined 2023. This year, Ayesha is set to debut her live set at MUTEK Festival in Montréal, signalling an exciting new chapter in her career.
