Trackland With Ali Berger @ The Lot Radio 07 - 06 - 2022

Nick Boyd (@nickboydnyc) is a dancefloor staple in NYC, and there's good reason for his omnipresence: everything he does, he explains, is centered around the dancefloor and the dancers who spend time there. Whether he's running @sorry-records, DJing at beloved local haunts like The Lot Radio, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and Nowadays (where this mix was recorded), or giving advice to friends, his ethos always comes back to the dancefloor. Grounded by an encyclopedic knowledge of dance music history and generous sharing of that knowledge, Nick and Sorry Records are beacons of integrity and openness in today's dance music community. 

This is part 1 of a 2 part mini-series with Sorry Records.

Mix mastered by @drvmmy.

"This mix is a recording of my first time playing at Nowadays, a club that has been incredibly influential and important to my life and my friends' lives. When I first started deejaying, my only goals really were to play on The Lot Radio and play Nowadays.

When they asked me, I was very surprised, legit like fall on my bathroom floor crying type situation 😂 😭. I’m a sappy nerd and had loads of nerves but I was lucky to be able to do it for the first time alongside my friend and collaborator Khadijah/DJ Delish and also have the time to just completely over-prepare for like three months ahead of time.

I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to do with the space, both extensively over the years keeping a running “Nowadays Wishlist” playlist and in the three months leading up to the party. I eventually came to the conclusion that I wanted to tell a story with what I played, in the tradition dictated by the New York dancefloor. A story about myself and my friends and the scene here as I’ve seen it both good and bad. A story about the Nowadays dancefloor itself and what that space means to me, but in turn also what dance music spaces and community mean period; how they function and the double-edged sword of trying to be good when it comes to those things.

I also wanted to play tracks by my friends that I knew were going to be there. The people I love who I dance alongside there frequently. I wanted to play tracks that were silly too! Tried to give a sense of levity to a pretty emotional thing. I mean, I got into dance music in large part because of the work that Justin (Carter) and Eamon (Harkin) had done through Mister Sunday into Nowadays, and I'd been going to the space since before it was open indoors. I’m there most every week and have put a lot on that floor…

In the weeks following, I finally got myself to listen to it. At first, I was like, there's so many bits in here where I remember not being able to hear myself or hear the cue. It's my first time playing in a big loud club besides like, Bossa. I considered making all these edits to it…

But then kinda just got to the point where I was like — look at the process of the mix, the ethos behind it… it's more about letting go and natural joy and glee than it is about anything else. So I decided to share it unedited, except for a little audio sample I added at the beginning that I didn't get on the recording. There’s a lot of other very concrete lyrical content included — always with purpose and intention but not always lyrics that I believe in personally."

Squish Radio with Livwutang b2b Wonja | August 25, 2022

Name: Maryann Tran
Alias: Cherub420 (@cherub420)
Pronouns: they/them
Location: sf , ca
 
Influences: I wouldn’t have pursued music without the encouragement of my mom & grandmother, so they are my main influences for sure. Musically, I've been loving this current wave of femme music producers who are dominating the club scene right now, like: Kim Anh, Ciel, Tomu DJ, JiaLing, Bored Lord; just too many to thank...
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Club Moniker (SF), HydeFM (SF), Lowergrand Radio (OAK) 
 
Favorite Quote: The perfect mix exists in friendship.
 
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Play the music that lifts you up and it's going to lift up other people. Have a personal hype song or 2. i.e. If I get anxious for some reason before or mid-set, I'll often whip out Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You" to lift me out of that weird place of self doubt. Self doubt is the enemy.
