@aye5ha goes In Session

"This is a primal after-hours mix. It’s very percussive, drum-heavy, at-moments psychedelic and has some old Goa trance gems in there. I have been loving all the curiosity around trance music [lately], in particular the more psytrance and Goa trance stuff. My parents live in Goa and I’ve been going since I was eight years old. Every year, there’s a big multi-day psytrance festival there called Hill Top festival. Now I’m seeing the crossover of this iconic trance music and that makes me very interested in expressing that side of myself more in my music."

DTMF! @ Cobalt Studios - Tolu (28.09.24)

Alias: doll.redacted
Pronouns: He / Him
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Residency: Diva Worship, That Way
Name of mix: Music Selector, Soul Reflector
About the mix: "This mix, to me, is an ode to the dichotomy of house music and human emotion. House is often associated with the feeling of joy, and it is largely so much of that. But what sadness, despair, angst, heartbreak, restlessness and anger bring us to the dancefloor to seek out that joy? This mix is traveling through the realm of human emotion while paying homage to that 80s and early 90s classic and acid house that started it all. Love, passion, pain and release are the underlying feelings to this jackin' mix. What we play on the dancefloor is a direct reflection of our soul."

Our dear friend and absolutely wonderful Louisville, Kentucky based DJ sddp (@sddp-dj) delivers a minor masterpiece for SORRYMIX39. Multiple years in the making and featuring artwork by the great Allison Hoffman, Sorry Records presents sddp's 100% Brandy: An Exploration of Bootleg & Edit Culture!

A note from @sddp-dj...

Bootleg, edit, remix, re-edit, re-fix, all are essential tools in any DJ's toolkit. There's one singer in particular you're more likely to see on those white label 12" records or haphazardly named .mp3 files though, Brandy Norwood. So much so that it's basically turned into a running joke, with ScratchaDVA proposing the truly terrifying idea of her waking up one day and coming for the royalties she'd be owed from so many UK producers. It's not just the United Kingdom though, a combination of her once in a lifetime vocal prowess, as well as a major record company that was very liberally pressing up acapella mixes for DJs in the mid to late 1990s, leads to her being sampled by producers all around the world.

This mix highlights three decades worth of unofficial remixes from the singer, spanning a myriad of styles and sounds, collected over the course of about 4 years. I ended up sifting through a good 300 or so tracks, as well as created some of my own edits in the process. Needless to say, the task of trying to highlight as many scenes and sounds as possible was incredibly daunting. In the end, at least one song from her 7 main solo albums, as well as bits from Moesha & other TV/Film appearances were sampled in my 93 minute long tribute to the vocal bible.

Spring’s coming. We’re bearing witness to the thaw in Detroit, and it’s mirrored across the pond in Toronto. The city’s rising DJ and community organizer, 999ADJ (@999adj), takes up the Moods mix helm through a gallery of music that distills a sense of geographic movement and mobility. Lift your tray tables; buckle into your seats; prepare for takeoff; and plan to land somewhere warmer with foliage and forgotten frost.

Moods is community curated and community supported. By helping us out, you're directly supporting artist commissions, curator fees, merchandise, and materials for parties. Give us a buck, four, or more a month here: https://substack.com/@moods

We've paired 999ADJ's mix with a work by Kapwani Kiwanga titled Flowers for Africa (Ghana). Read more about it here: https://orgallery.org/exhibitions-projects/kapwani-kiwanga-flowers-for-africa/

While thinking of how to interpret the concept of degrowth musically, I decided on a mixture of blending songs that repurpose or recycle sounds and melodies. Be it by sampling, interpolation, or sonic aesthetic. Another layer I tried to include were references in lyrics or song titles to our current global situation and possible futures as well as music that sounds both timeless and sci-fi.


I hope this mix can be something to fade into and zone out with while giving the listener a chance to daydream or imagine another world.


Thank you to Rave cafe for the invitation

“These spaces are sacred." The Brooklyn trio reflect on 12 years of throwing parties that celebrate New York's queer community of colour.

New York nightlife has a truly unique ecosystem. And for the last 12 years, the art collective Papi Juice has been right at the center of it, hosting parties, workshops, artist residencies, performances and exhibitions that affirm and celebrate the lives of queer and trans people of colour.

In this RA Exchange recorded during Pride Weekend in Brooklyn, reviews editor Kiana Mickles sits down with the Papi Juice trio—Mohammed, Adam and Oscar—to talk about intersectionality and how they've maintained their principles and political integrity by continuing to put their community first. The DJs and multimedia artists have been active in leading fundraisers for Black trans organisations and archiving queer nightlife in Brooklyn. They recently received an award from the City Council of New York for their contributions to culture and have partnered with institutions like The Brooklyn Museum, MoMA PS1, El Museo del Barrio, Creative Time, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art.

In this interview, Mohammed, Adam and Oscar reflect on meeting for the first time, navigating New York's cabaret laws, creating a distinct visual identity, learning to work through internal conflict and differences in taste, and working towards a shared vision across many years. Listen to the episode in full. -Chloe Lula

Favorite Quote: “Deep Listening is listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what you are doing. Such intense listening includes the sounds of daily life, of nature, or one's own thoughts as well as musical sounds. Deep Listening represents a heightened state of awareness and connects to all that there is.” - Pauline Oliveros

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:  Don't let anyone tell you it's too late to do anything. Building a system around you that uplifts community and challenges systemic oppression is of the utmost importance, there is no singular success. Show utmost respect to those who you encounter who are working behind the scenes on work that contributes to this vision. Don't let other people's expectations and desires play into how you feel about your contribution to what you do.

This is a recording of my opening set before Maayan Nidam in March of 2018, one of my first times playing a weekend in a large club (Smarbar Chicago). I was so nervous for this set and and it still stands out in my memory. :)
