Our first mix of 2019 comes from none other than Joey Anderson, and we really cannot overstate our excitement about this one. Since the first Exchange Place releases on Strength Music over a decade ago, Joey has solidified his place as one of the great talents of USA dance music. He came to DJing and production via the dance floor, where he spent years dancing, battling, and educating, and his artistic ethos is imbued with all of that dance floor magic -- that flow and stellar quality that only arrives via a respectful and practiced listener. His sound exhibits a reverence for the underground house networks of NYC/NJ, but his palette seems to strike from some distant moon. He truly has a voice all his own, and we thank him for sharing this session.

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter XCVI

Mysteries of the Deep XCVI - ROI PEREZ

Another year has passed, another mix is done. Only Kontra tracks and focusing on the more esoteric side of the label.

Ulf Eriksson [Kontra-Musik] - So Zen Kontra mix (recorded 2018)

Jane Fitz and XDB have known each other for around ten years and have supported each other since first hearing each other's sets at Freerotation every year. For Jane's last residency show of 2018 at the Pickle Factory in London, she played back to back with Kosta all night. Here is the first three hours.

Jane Fitz + XDB back to back at Pickle Factory 30/11/18 PART ONE

Released in October 2017, this mix was previously only available on a limited cassette from Brevity Tapes and featured a separate mix from Karl Meier on the flip side. The approach was to do something slightly different than the average podcast or live mix, instead reaching a bit deeper into our collections and present a dynamic narrative with the framework of a 45 minute cassette tape. This one was super fun to put together and features a range of IDM and electro tracks from Dynamo, Andrea Parker, Aphex Twin, Peder Mannerfelt, DMX Krew, Sleeparchive, and more.

"Listening to this mix is like sailing into a horizon at dawn. It draws you towards a steady line perpetually in view, creating an experience of both distance and nearness. You realize you will never reach the line but that’s ok — it was always there, hovering within you. This is not about arriving at any kind of external destination. It’s about presence. The sun draws its pastel curtain and day imperceptibly emerges. The water is glass; you don’t even notice that you’ve been out on it for a long time. When you let yourself float, transcendence becomes attainable. There are no high crests or crashing waves here — instead only a center point that invites you to focus deeply and let go."

When we asked Seoul singer, DJ and producer 박혜진 @ParkHyyeJin if she'd consider making i-D a mix, she obliged, offering up this absolute odyssey. “It’s just a mix that says, ‘let’s dance all night long’,” she told us. And honestly, it’ll make you want to do just that.
