Italian born, London-based DJ Airali takes a DIY approach to her musical activities - why sit around waiting for something to happen to you when you can make things happen yourself? 

Wanting to see more equal and balanced representation within the DJ world , she set upon launching Co-Select, a collective and event series that is aimed at levelling the playing field within music. The crew has grown vastly since starting and now includes DJs like Will Hofbauer, Mandle, Tsuniman and Wednesday, with a policy that prioritises back to back sets. More recently she's become part of London's Sisu, another collective who similarly advocate strongly for more gender balance on lineups.

Alongside her night time movements, music feeds heavily into her day-to-day - she's currently studying a PHD in  music research and AI while, coming back to the nocturnal, she's also working towards launching her own party this year - so keep tabs on that.

This week's Wednesday Alternative mix is definitely in safe hands. Much like her monthly residency on Netil Radio, on today's excursion she explores shapeshifting electronics, crisp sound design and mutant dancehall and techno rhythms...

5/18/2018 - Episode 364 - This week's guest on www.soundcloud.com/darkscienceelectro was https://soundcloud.com/alienata - This Spanish-born, Berlin-based Alienata a self-described 'sound obsessive' whose sets span obscure Electro music, Acid, IDM, dark Disco, Industrial atmospheres and more. A former philosophy student with a particular interest in mysticism, Alienata began DJing in 2004. In conjunction with Valencia's Overflow Collective, she not only served as a resident DJ but also participated in theatre and music technology workshops as well as oversaw its label operations. Upon moving to Berlin in 2011, she quickly found an adoptive family in the Killekill label and associated Krake Festival. While primarily focusing on DJing, Alienata has released a few records as the project Kat Channel with Snuffo of the Snuff Crew. Recently she has launched a new record label called Discos Atónicos where she can materialize all its varied influences. Alienata is currrently preparing her solo productions; One spit EP with Beta Evers will be released in the coming months. This mix was an exclusive for Dark Science Electro.

Dark Science Electro presents: Alienata guest mix

Don’t DJ breaks rules. He takes risks. He goes with his heart and not his head. The music he makes is littered with odd sound sources, from oversized flutes to the sound of crushed plastic cups to frog noises, and his rhythms are always complex and challenging. He releases it on Fullfridge Music, Berceuse Heroique, and also runs his own Disk and is a master of fusing different sound worlds into compelling new forms. 

And that’s the case on the podcast he’s done for us. “I got drunk and recorded an all over the place old time favourites mix. it’s cursed,” he says. That means it’s a raw, instinctive selection with the mistakes left in and plenty of tough riding transitions that make it all the more thrilling. It’s exactly the kind of approach you would expect from the man: who else could squeeze in the likes of MC Hammer, Neneh Cherry, Frak and DJ Sotofett and still make it work? This is truly the work of a standalone DJ.

As the owner of one the finest electro-centric labels operating today it seems only right that we ask CPSmith to contribute a mix to coincide with our recent round up of the best electro 12”s of the year so far: link.bleep.com/Best-Electro-12s-of-2019

The CPU boss goes straight in from the first record and traverses a range of moods over an hour which provides an intriguing insight into his distinct taste.
