Mixes

Music to get lost in from London’s Untitled 909 founder

"Music either helps with balancing my emotions or heightening them – soundtracking times of purge (that would now often be through recording a mix) or times of going inwards and figuring out or processing my feelings"

This mix explores weird and experimental drum patterns. I wanted to create a journey through dark and weird rhythms that challenge the usual beat structures and that typically characterise my DJ sets. The drums are always different, sometimes off the beaten path, creating varied dynamics—moments that are upbeat as well as static, trippy moments—giving the entire set a mysterious and intense atmosphere. In my DJ sets, I like to bring together all the music and genres that have influenced and shaped my musical path over time.

So, thanks to Dj wiggles for the invite :)

I was lucky to grow up in a family where music has always been a priority. I’m grateful to my parents for passing down this passion to me. My first approach to music was through acoustic drums—my father is a drummer and my mother took singing lessons. For me, playing drums was a moment of freedom, a way to vent, but also a love-hate relationship. I remember that at some point, I couldn’t express myself the way I wanted or with the people I wanted. 
Over the years, I got closer to the clubs in my area, and my love for the DJ figure was immediate. For several years, I lived in Puglia, my hometown, where I took my first steps as a DJ. Those were beautiful years, full of learning and hard work and research, all to start playing in clubs and illegal parties eheh

Right now, I think the music scene in Milan is one of the most prolific and solid in Europe. There are so many high-level artists, each with their own background and unique sound. Moving here was a turning point for me since the beginning, I’ve felt motivated and inspired by all the artists I’ve connected with. I believe growing in an environment where the scene is this strong and innovative is essential for any artist.
That said, one of the biggest issues in the city right now is the lack of spaces to play, perform, and organize parties. Prices are also insanely high, which makes it really hard to access and self-fund events. What we’re doing is a form of resistance..we have a mission, and we need to keep it alive.

From Art: "Hand over the controls to the Beyond/Below TARDIS as we set the time-space coordinates to travel through electronic and found sound pioneers along with modern ambient experiments. We're visiting Move D's mid-90s electronic Jazz ensemble, early 1980's Japanese ambient sounds, 1970's experimental German collabs between Cluster & Brian Eno, to David Sylvian ("Japan" frontman) and Holger Czukay (Can). Sam Kidel's modern classic reinterpretation of call center purgatory, and Danish ambient with spoken words by Chloe Wise on the return trip.  All aboard!"
