Tracklist + Q&A

In Session: Bou

This mix stems from my playlist "electronic emancipation" that I created whilst digging through the depths of spotify on my quest to find music created by women, non-binary and trans artists (FLINTA*). If you really looking, you can definitely find a lot of treasures. But the algorithm isn´t our friend. What has always struck me is the fact that when I look at the "what others liked" category on the profile of female, trans and non-binary artist (working more commercially) a lot of white men are recommended. A prominent example is Peggy Gou. The first two artists recommended for me are Ross from Friends and Project Pablo. When you click on Ross from Friend´s profile however, Peggy Gou only appears at the very end. She doesn´t appear at all in Project Pablo`s profile. Apparently, it doesn´t work both ways and this has to change!! I´m sure that this category is also influenced by your listening behaviour and search timeline but especially because I predominantly listen to and look for music by female* artists I don´t understand how spotify can get it so wrong. 

From what I have noticed there has been a positive increase in representation of FLINTA* djs around the world, on big festival line-ups and in clubs. You cannot really publish an all-white male line-up anymore without being rolled over by a shitstorm. Whether the people in power (still mostly white cis men) are acting on intrinsic values trying to foster diverse representation and equality is debatable, but at least some battles have been won. 

However, there are many more questions still to be answered and many inequalities still to be deconstructed. Whether we´re speaking about who owns labels and therefore decides which music gets published and dispersed or speaking about who owns festivals (or works as festival bookers) and therefore decides who will stand on stage. As well as the high dominance of men in the technical realms of the music industry (including mastering and event technicians). 
There are great people already out there trying to change power hierarchies such as Queer Ear mastering based in Berlin. I really hope that we will see more changes in the future. 

Until then I hope you enjoy this mix <3 It starts relatively slow and then picks up halfway through, so maybe the ideal music to listen to while you’re cooking right before a night out ;) 

P:S: All but two songs are by FLINTA* artists

Magna Spe (Breakbeat Bootleg)

avederparaiso b2b Bendix - 17/03

🎧Spanish artist with a passion for house music. Having started his project as a DJ in several French clubs and many others in Seville, his hometown, Istanbul has been the city that has given him the most opportunities. From private parties to more underground clubs, his career started to take more professional shape in the Turkish electronic scene, where he has also played for several international independent radio stations.
House being his main genre, his style ranges from minimalistic beats to deeper melodies. Both funky and retro house, especially from the 90s, have a special place in his sets. His frenetic experience in the city of two continents has brought him closer to the urban techno scene as well.

Amsterdam’s DJ Ageless Wonder rides on high on a ghetto house pump with ‘BE MY LOVER’.

Ever so briefly sampling the famous Spice Girls track, the Dutch producer takes us on a not so serious journey of fun lovin’ 4x4 pump destined for hot club scenarios. 

A medical doctor by day, Ageless Wonder opens up his daydreams into music kicking off a series of singles set to come throughout the year all of a similar electro and ghetto tech ilk, in a flavoursome a tongue n cheek style!

This is a free DL for all our avid spinners and dancers, Enjoy!
