Live inside the Tunnelz oF New York City.

Juanita's Mix 072 with Kiernan Laveaux @kiernan-laveaux

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. A girl doing their best to channel kindness, fun, & understanding throughout our known universe

Some ways other people have described me: Conductress of Chaos, Rockstar with a kind soul, Patroness of free divers


Q. How long have you been a part of the dance music community?
A. Since 2014, right after I graduated high school & started to help throw parties in Cleveland - almost like a whole decade now which is wild.

My relationship to it all continues to shift & grow but my life would be so much worse & empty without dancing & the people I've met thru it.


Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. So this mix is a super special one for me, composed of broken beat records I've picked up in NYC, but also Detroit & online. I've been really fortunate to be able to come to New York to play & see loved ones over the past few years, many of those times I'd end up leaving with a stack of these records in between some necessary laughs & growth in life. Every track in here honestly contains a snapshot of times I've felt able to really live my life & the people who've helped me realize we can all do that together - very much part of my soundtrack to feeling the sun & love around me in NYC.

Broken beat is a really special style of music for me - I was first introduced to it through Titonton Duvante & Charles Noel (Archetyp) through the way it influenced them in creating their unique vision of midwest techno that in turn has influenced a lot of my approach to music. 
The way that broken beat combines & dissolves so many eras of music (drum n bass, hip hop, 70s fusion, R&B, dub, etc) into new continuums is endlessly inspiring - always focusing on community, personal insight, celestial unknowns, the depths of life & self, the joys of moving with people, cultivating togetherness in a way that always makes me feel better after listening. 
Whenever I am having a weird day or don't know what music to play at home, I bust out my stack of broken beat records & just start mixing - this mix is very much a no thoughts vibes only kinetic result of that. 
I hope it can help soothe the mind & spirit for anyone else listening - a distillation of joy in the complicated world we share.

Included a thorough tracklist for this, really recommend checking any & all of these artists/tracks + the labels People, Main Squeeze, 2000black, Bitasweet, Archive, Co-Operation... the list goes on!
What is also really amazing about this music to me is the self contained but like infinite universe it's in, all sorts of producers & vocalists gliding in & out of each other's music - exchanging energy under all different names & sounds. Much love & respect to everyone whose music is in here & to everyone whose music will be in mixes like this in the future <3

Devils Work with Farrell & Stones Taro - 12 August 2024

It makes sense to have Oltermann back for seconds. Love Mix was recorded around valentines day earlier this year, when he was meant to play at a gaff but they hadn't sorted out decks. Shit when that happens. Distraught? Never. The ambassador of love heads home, plugs Zoom in and here we are. 

If you've heard him play what ensued will come as no surprise: heartfelt soul, disco, house and italo. Classics and obscurities. Some played for the first time, others rinsed over the past 15 years of Olli being sound. Trust me, I know. We were in the scouts together around -96. True story. @djoltermann

Lychee @ Nowadays Nonstop - March 29, 2025

Live reconstruction of my peak time set at Bossa back in March. Here I've cultivated a variety of soulful slappers, elucidating atmospheres, and tri-deck jellers  for what I hope to be an energetic, abrasive, euphoric occasion.

Rugged & Tough Productions ‎– Got To Get To Our Love ( Mix 1, 1997)

Back with some more edits I've been hammering in the summer sets!

This Party

Stepco makes his QRUK debut with Check The Wrist, a tough Electro club tool that brings a darker, more minimal flavour to the label. Known for his roots in the South Wales House and Techno scene, the Swansea-based producer has turned heads with two large and in charge releases on Get Physical. This latest cut sees him lean into the more dark UK sound, keeping things stripped and rolling with crisp drums and chopped up vocals.

On remix duties is the QRUK regular Kabo Cana, who flips the title track into a faster club-ready stepper. It's a big follow-up to his standout QRUK debut I DONT UNDERSTAND, and comes ahead of another remix from him on the Nagasaki EP with James Young.

BANDCAMP

Dont Mess With The 303 - Stepco [QRUK018]

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. 2024 saw Ayesha debut her live set at MUTEK Festival in Montréal to wide applause with her live show set to evolve into the coming year with firsts at Dekmantel as well as more TBA.
