Downtempo

Kabomani

The first mixtape released on Best Effort is by Naarm (Melbourne) based DJ/ writer, Sophie McAlister. A Sooky La La at heart, this mix is comprised of Sophie’s most sentimental songs which seem to exude the palpable feeling of Saudade, a Portuguese word that can be described as ‘a pleasure you suffer, an ailment you enjoy.’ The tracks weave through 110 minutes of unrequited love and melancholic sounds that range from MPB, Psych, Folk, Middle Eastern Jazz and Soul, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia and longing.

Crafted with heartbreak from reel to reel, these feelings on tap(e) hope to offer tender respite to the listener’s jaunt down memory lane. With a nod to the past and anticipation for what’s to come, this tape invites you to welcome new spirits from the unwelcomed lull of recent despondency. Sometimes revelling in our most forsaken experiences can spark new life into what used to consume us with grief.

Foreign Brown Mixtape

Decided to upload the recording of my newtownradio.com set from last week to celebrate 420. Up until this mix I'd never gotten to really explore recording or doing a full set of all the types of dub sounds that resonate with me, so I thought during this time of personal self repair and exploration it was only fitting to finally venture in...

In these uncertain times I can only hope that this hour and thirty minutes of dub can provide at least a brief window of relaxation for you all. Smoke one, take a breather, and chill for a bit...

Much Love,

Juanita's Mix 018 with ADAB @ADAB

Q. How would you describe yourself? (DJ, producer, artist, etc.)
A. I think ADAB is definitely more of an intention to be conjured then a singular moniker for a person. It’s an instance of exploring self/collective through an array of sounds from or influenced by cultures of color and the worlds they influence at large (which are quiet a few). It's also intended to be a direct expression of afrofuturism. A humble attempt to make sets and mixes made for emboldening and envisioning future instances of pan african and POC beauty in dance music.


Q. Any memorable club nights in NY? 
A. My latest memorable club night in NYC is also the last one I was able to spin live before everything shut down. I played Public Records alongside my dear friend CCL and it was a much needed gig/trip. We played a lot of drummy stuff we both love throughout the night and eventually ended on a Jungle/DnB note which was a dream to do with them. The crowd was super into it, outwardly showed love the entire time, and danced their asses off the whole time. It was a blast!


Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I decided to finally explore a lot of my 90-100 bpm percussive stuff that I’ve accumulated over time for this one. Up until now almost all my mixes have been above or around 130 bpm so it was nice to slow it down and mess around with this section of my collection. Definitely intended to be a psychedelic hip churner! There's also a few dear homies like CCL, Flora FM, Ali Berger, & Russell E. L. Butler in here as well so big shouts to them for some of these lovely tracks <3 Enjoy!

Juanita's Mix 017 with Galcher Lustwerk @galcher-lustwerk

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Music producer and DJ, I like it simple like that.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. The first party I threw with friends and played in NY was I think in 2011 at this bar in Manhattan called Stay. It had a hidden basement.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I wanted something that overall felt gentle and daytimey and I wanted to throw in a couple of curve balls along the way ;-)
