Thoughts and words from @ivy-dripp over at https://passingnotes.radio

Seeing the interstate circuit beginning to turn in Melbourne means the return of one of Sydney’s stalwart DJs, IV Drip. Ivy is radio host (Nomad Radio), events organiser (Headroom), expert mix curator (NTS, Animalia) and critical fixture in the Nectar family. Inherent to being part of the Nectar crew, is their commitment movement toward gender equality in the electronic music community. Ivy’s commitment to her community shines both on and off the stage - always tinkering away and bringing multiple creative projects to life, she’s undoubtedly drawn to creating spaces that keep Sydney’s nightlight alive. Beyond her backstage prowess, Ivy and IV Drip’s mixes have always left me floored. Luckily her in demand skills as a DJ and artist have landed her an ongoing slot on Nomad radio, where she has recently transitioned from presenting her show ‘Thanks for Sharing’ to newly founded ‘Home Time’ where she explores Australian music bounded by no sound. Ivy joins me for IWD X 2 Years Passing Notes, and also shared some thoughts with me over at https://passingnotes.radio.

Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

My name is Taylor and my preferred pronouns are they and she. I live in Brooklyn! Fun fact about myself… I used to teach hip hop dance in the early 2000’s. 

How is everything going with you right now?

It’s going pretty well despite the circumstances, which of course are not ideal. Been navigating a lot of personal challenges lately, from a break-up to family drama, but strangely I feel ok, like all is looking up….something in my attitude has shifted

What are you missing from pre-covid life?

Dancing. With people. More than anything.

Any fun goals for winter time?

3rd installment of Dance Floor Epiphanies for Resident Advisor is happening, and I also have an ambient release coming out for the boutique cassette label, Enmossed. And I want to finish my memoir! (maybe it will actually happen this time). 

Who currently inspires you music-wise?
ASC (always). Europa. Ma Sha Ru. May Vary. Abby Echiverri. E.C.C.O. Pugilist. Air Max ‘97. Eris Drew and Octo Octa. Datach’i. H.E.R. Noumen. And I’ve been kind of obsessed with heavy bass music lately like Ternion Sound and TMSV. those lower chakra vibes


4 djs you would want to see on a lineup for the first party post covid asap?

Oh god this is hard. Umm… I’m thinking about the DJs whose sets just tether me to the floor and make me really fucking jump-up-and-down happy:

Erika
Danny Daze
Ben UFO
Eris Drew

What other activities have you dipped into with a break from djing?

Writing and Spiritual Channeling / Energy Work. Deepening into both of those practices..

Favorite weird drug experience?

The very first time I took acid I accidentally took too much and merged with the soul of another human until we no longer could distinguish ourselves from one another. I saw his third eye blinking on his forehead, as real as an actual eye, and then we became telepathic, and then we astral projected as one entity into the godhead. It was cool.

Why do you think it's important to share music?

I believe it’s the most unifying force in the world. It’s the most human language, and gives us access to our emotions in a way that brings joy. And it connects us beyond the mind… it connects us through the body, and through the heart. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Cohesion & Unification. A return to how things used to be, without trying to emulate the past too much. Meaning, a sense of PLUR that permeates not only the dance floor but the social spaces, online and physical.

Can't believe Animix is already at it's twentieth mix! I am delighted that no.20 comes from @kikimolina, all the way from Santiago, Chile. Kiki has been a drummer/percussionist their whole life, and works as an anthropologist, recently focusing on pre-Columbian American music and instruments. With mixes, Kiki aims to create a ritual and lasting space, long, languid ideas, and an essence of calm... 

Gracefully done, this mix is just that. An other-wordly float through electronica, ambient & beyond.

Thank you so much for your contribution to the series Kiki <3

"This session was recorded on the eve of the 2020 winter solstice. It is a collection of sounds and excerpts from pieces of music that have been personally healing for me when I've needed reflection and stillness during times of chaos and uncertainty.
