Continuing our Unison Campout recordings, we have Iggy from the BoomZilla Sound Collective and Ambient Mafia with something a little more groovy to slide you through your hump day. Enjoy!

Here's what Iggy had to say: 
"There is nothing more meaningful than giving back to the community. It was an honor to share a set of chill vibes to a group of generous campers, all giving back to those in need at the Unison campout 2022."

About Iggy:
Iggy started her music career on the East Coast at the age of 15 as a lead singer and guitarist in a folk-alternative band, Gummy Dinosaurs. When the opportunity came to move across the country to Oakland in 1994, Iggy landed a few blocks from a record store, where she bought her first dance track, making the plunge into DJing. After years of carrying bags of vinyl on her skateboard, visiting friends with decks and sound systems, she built her own system, the BoomZilla Sound. With the help of her best friend, Disco Dianna, the BoomZilla Sound Collective was formed.

The Boomzilla Sound Collective (BSC) is a non-profit organization connecting musicians to collaborate and create a unique audio experience through community, inclusivity and expression. Iggy and Dianna manage the BSC music studio in Oakland to provide a space for the musicians to collaborate, experiment and evolve their art. The BCS curates many events every year for the current and prospective collective members to share their art with people who love music. Their events range from dance parties, live streaming broadcasts, and DJ workshops for aspiring artists.

February 2023 - GINGERKAT Mix

Giga — Original Mix
This track was originally considered by several labels — each of them saw potential in it and wanted to sign the release.
But every label asked to change a small detail to adjust the sound to their catalogue.
I chose to keep the track exactly as it was born — authentic, genre-blended, and true to its own identity.

Giga is the evolution of my sound:
a blend of minimal, deep, and micro aesthetics combined with my own rhythmic approach and live-style transitions.
The track went through a single studio render with no conversion, which keeps the sound clean, dynamic, and fully detailed.

Thank you to everyone who supports independent producers.
If you feel this vibe — likes, reposts, and playlist adds really help 🙌

Genres: minimal deep tech, microhouse, deep house, electronic
Produced & mixed by: Dru
Artwork & animation: by me

Footprintsound.com NUGZ or Brian Cox, one of the first DJs to perform on a Boeing 747, began his career in music when he acquired a Fisher Price turntable at the age of 5. He started making “pause button” mix tapes from songs on the radio at the age of 10, and got on a set of Technics 1200 MK2 turntables a few years later. He now has over 24 years experience in the booth playing for millions of party people. Blodip says he’s the best he’s ever heard. His stellar sets are amazing, incredible mind blowing magic for your ear holes. His parties are a shitton of fun. His ability to not get distracted is beyond human. NUGZ is about toeing the line between light and dark, positive and negative, existence and non existence. Think yin and yang on two platters and this DJ is the bridge. He takes you on a journey, continuously comes correct with phenomenal sets and uncanny consistency. A true disc jockey in every sense of the word.
While living in Boulder, CO in the 90s, NUGZ gained two distinct achievements. He acquired residencies at Soma in Boulder (voted as one of the top ten clubs in America by BPM and several other dance music publications ), and the number one club in Colorado at the time, Vinyl (formerly 1082 Broadway in Denver). He consistently played with profound success at both of these clubs until they closed, along with numerous others in the Denver /Boulder area while still at a very early point in his career.
NUGZ moved to San Francisco in 2004, and when he isn’t traveling the world, or building art for Burning Man (DJ'd for last 16 yrs), he can be heard performing in prominent SF nightspots such as The Great Northern, Public Works, Mezzanine, Yoshi’s, and the legendary 1015 Folsom. Corporate clients include Adobe, Dianese, Wells Fargo, Facebook, and AOL. He made his mark creating late night underground soirees at a special little space know as “123”, with his production company Footprint Sound. These are still regarded by true nightlife professionals as some of the best parties in SF. He continues to produce weekly and monthly events all around the bay, and during these late nights and early mornings he shares the booth with the likes of The Stanton Warriors, Donald Glaude, Modeselektor, Tycho, Martin Buttrich, Deekline, Audiofly (a performance in his loft, 123 was their first SF show) to name a few.
He is able to blend drastically different beats from all sorts of genres, tell a story, and create a sound/vibe that are truly his own. A risk taker who owns it, works in heavy, moving, melodic basslines, with unexpected builds and drops, sometimes dirty sometimes bouncy, seamless transitions from house to slowed down breaks and back again.  Incorporating custom re-edits and remixes, the more bangin’ selections under cover of darkness revolve around House and UK Nu Skool Break Beat sounds, that range from deep, melodic, sexy, to dark, dirty, nasty, funky, grindy, techy, electro. In day light hours, you might find him spinning trip hop, down tempo, mid tempo and classic hip hop, along with sexy deep house and funk all over the bay area at places like bars, lounges, back yards, yachts, pools, rooftops, houseboat rooftops, small islands, basements, lofts/ warehouses, art galleries, Breakfast of Champions, Bay to Breakers, The SF Marathon, campouts, sidewalks, planetariums, Decompression, SF Pride Parade, the Golden State Warriors championship parade in Oakland, or Golden Gate Park. He is currently the sound engineer and resident DJ for the Dusty Rhino burning man mobile art piece where he is also a founding member.
