Mix 060 for n10.as - digital polyglot

for Pique on n10.as radio 03.03.24

*recorded live in Field, ON at Best Out of Town Year 3 (09/03/23)

digital polyglot set fire to the Saturday night. Hard techno, electro, and leftfield brought our subs to life. Samples of live instrumentation slyly offering some space before the kicks thwack again.

"I feel like my DJ name has become a self-fulfilling prophecy because I gravitate towards songs that sound like technology. This mix is hard but airy with some hints of yearning. I don’t picture it playing at the club but at home for your solo dance party or when you’re out running errands. Enjoy an hour of some high bpm beats ranging from jungle, breaks, footwork and techno."

 Kiernan Laveaux, She/They

Kiernan Laveaux is a connective rhythmic energy conduit & ecstatic beat conductor from the Great Lakes. A boundless ball of discordant energy, she’s an adventurous spirit - conducting the vibrant forces of our world that are transmitted through the unbridled passion contained within her DJing. 

Inspired by forces of universal chaos & the innovative, experiential visions found within midwestern electronic music, she's since embarked on a lifelong journey of channeling binary dissolving phenomena throughout our known universe via her unbridled musical vitality & the multifaceted Sweet Abyss imprint. 

Originating from within Cleveland's multiversal DIY underground, she materialized through the rhythms of life & her loved ones - soaking up influence in everything from the enchanted & irreverent joys of disco, the raucous mayhem of hardcore punk & noise gigs, the spatial manifestations of dub, nonlinear revelations & outer reaches of free jazz expressionism, bewitching industrial conjurations, lineages & contrasts of freeform DJing across the world, & dancing with many weirdos in rooms full of fog, neon mesh, & skate ramps.


Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix is a live recorded portion of a set I played late at night at the wonderful club Outra Cena in Lisbon, Portugal in April 2024. The vibe of it is pondering the orb, watching your life and emotions play out in arcane swirls in front of your eyes as you embody the role of an unreliable narrator in your own existence. Sometimes this view allows clarity, other times overwhelmed by imagined insecurities, other times allowing a reprieve from strife into self love. Emotions and mental findings that feel held in many sets of mine. Sonically, I really felt encouraged this night to dive into my love of the stranger ends of house music, and combinations of industrial/dub/breaks on top. Specifically the influence of my lifelong love of industrial and synth music can really be felt throughout, as well as lamentations on loneliness and connection within capitalism that lots of that music speaks to - industrial music for industrial people. Discotekno, Haunted house, whatever name you want to apply to this music - as well as a healthy dose of dubwise rave stylistics. A strange dream within a stranger reality, living in the paradox. Musick for dance, musick for new corridors of your mind, musick against the fascist, ogliarchal pacification of who we are - viva la differenze!"

XOXA BLEND 247 - Kiernan Laveaux

recorded this in 2016 for a colourful storm when it was still a mix series. hopefully it still sounds okay! also reminds me of nervously walking into hard wax (where torsten was behind the counter) with a bunch of the first a colourful storm records, hoping to get them in stock lol

mix of productions by torsten pröfrock who is probably best known as t++, also includes tracks and remixes under his aliases just for one day, traktor, various artists and dynamo

Decay Product: A Torsten Pröfrock Mix

A much loved figure within the American underground scene, California's Baby Leo has been consciously connecting body and mind from coast to coast, finding space for the unpredictable and the awe inspiring, hypnotising dancefloors with wildly eclectic DJ sets filled with energising twists and turns.

An innovator and sonic boundary pusher at his core, the Dripping festival Leo runs alongside Relaxer is a deep underground oasis in the woods of Sparta, New Jersey, and returns for it's third mind excursion this June, with Leo and DJ Plead combining this year for a hotly anticipated back to back. 

@djbabyleo

Q. The mix is truly a wild ride! What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this, and what listening environments could you imagine it being enjoyed in?

A. This is the deepcast right? For this one, we’re going deeper than what I might usually do in a club. Some of these tracks came to me while laying blindfolded on the floor during guided high-dose mushroom journeys. Because this is a space of complete emotional surrender, many of these tracks became permanently embedded in my heart. Awe, fear, reverence, gratitude are all part of the recipe. The ideal listening environment is similar to how you might want to watch a movie - cozy, undistracted, and fully immersed in sound. Perhaps by yourself and hopefully something to return to and discover something new.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. I think Untitled (How Does it Feel) by D’Angelo is my favorite song of all time. It feels amazing every time. The way energy builds and boils over is unmatched. I played it backwards.

Q. Your festival Dripping returns to the majestic woods of Sparta, NJ for its third year running in June, and I see you’ve got a special extended b2b set with DJ Plead planned which should be quite the mind-bend! How have you been preparing for that one, and what things might you guys be doing differently this year that you’re excited about? 

A. Preparation hasn’t really begun in any serious way, but we are both anticipating and very excited to play together. Especially at Dripping, I’m typically trying to push the energy forward for a fully explosive impact. I will usually do a lot of preparation for a set like this and plan certain sequences. In contrast, I’ve seen Plead play sets with incredible restraint, patiently working a crowd into complete hypnosis. I guess the thing about a back to back set is that it will take on a life of its own and just go where it needs to go. There will be less planning for this and more intuition, but mind-bending and heart-opening is certainly the goal and we haven’t discussed anything other than that.

naff0007 is from a close friend and one of our favorite DJs @livwutang

In Liv's words :

For this mix, I tried to find the sweet spot between sultry and haunting; cerebral yet somatic. It came together almost on its own—a gently cascading rabbit hole of tech and dubstep, guided by indulgent pads and dubbed-out chords.

Third track blends crafted for headphone listening : )
