“I am a Polish-born, Copenhagen-based emerging DJ. I’ve started my DJ journey back in February 2020. The dream of becoming a DJ however has been with me since I can remember honestly. Back in 2000s in Poland there was obviously no community or organization that would make it possible for queer women to learn how to DJ, unless you knew the right people and felt confident enough to exist in the very male dominated industry. 

The dream stuck with me for all those years though, so I finally got the courage and found the right place to try myself. Ever since then I never stopped. Since it all still feels quite new to me, nothing ever brought me so much pure joy and connection to myself than music and being able to share my love for it with other people. I am still very much on a journey when it comes to my style and what I want to transmit through my mixes, but I think that a lot of it is just my genuine appreciation for house music and the energy it exudes. 

A lot of the projects and events I am currently working on are together with BGM8S Collective I have joined this year – a group of house music lovers, producers, DJs, dancers, graphic artists, and close friends of mine with whom I try to create safer house parties in Copenhagen and bring the DJ community closer together.“

“I can definitely say, from my own experience, that it is easier for a queer woman to actually start DJing and do so in a safer environment. It’s easier to find community and connect with like-minded, genuine people who share the passion for music and DJing. However, I am based in Denmark which is a very privileged place in the world. On a global scale, it has definitely improved as well, at least for white cisgender woman like me, so it is a leap forward for sure. 

With all of that being said though, there’s still a lot of issues in the industry, and it all starts from the top – bookers, managers, club owners, people behind organizations, investors etc. Many still uses the oppressive system but just wraps it in the inclusivity and diversity trend. 

There are, however, many absolutely amazing collectives and non-profit organizations around the world living and existing to drive change (like BLVSH Collective from Berlin, Oramics from Poland, Community Bread from New York to name a few). These and many others have been definitely inspiring and moving me as a DJ. 

A lot of my focus has been lately on well, picking the right places/organizations to play at and for, even though it might mean that I’ll be playing once a year or will never be booked again. It is still a work in progress of course, because the hustle culture is very real and so is the mindset of having to play all the time and everywhere in order to be seen. 
Focusing on what aligns with my values and my boundaries has really helped me to find a supportive and genuine community and be able to also not to compromise myself as a DJ. The one thing I’ve learned and try to practice constantly is passing the mic – not grabbing all opportunities just because it’s a DJ gig but making space for the right people.“

"This mix is a 130BMP ride resembling a 90s rave house sound, filled with sampled vocals, cheeky hi-hats, driving basslines, and acid textures. Uplifting, sassy, and a tad bit melancholic" – Aleks BLC

TL Premiere #1577 (2024.04.04) : Emilio Arias - Parpadeo Fugas [Kulture Lab]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 107th Premiere of 2024, we have a track by Emilio Arias titled ‘Parpadeo Fugas’ from the forthcoming VA compilation "KULTURE SHOCK" on the record label based in Cape Town, South Africa : Kulture Lab. 

Emilio Arias, a talented DJ and producer hailing from Ecuador and now based in Amsterdam, infuses his signature techno/club sound into "Parpadeo Fugas. This electric track unfurls an unrelenting tapestry of fast-paced, uninhibited maximalism, inspired by the industrial elements. Employing his Machinedrum as a vessel, Arias traverses the outer limits of sound design, Shaping intricate textures and polyrhythmic landscapes that defy convention. Amidst this sonic crucible, his vocals emerge as a primal force, imbuing the chaos with a raw, human resonance. Notably, distortion emerges as a key element in Arias' latest productions, adding a gritty edge to his sonic palette. This distortion takes an unexpected turn later on in the track, intertwining with haunting granular synthesis, thereby enriching the stereo fields with complexity and intensity.

The compilation will be available from April 5, 2024 on all digital platforms.

NR Sound Premiere #12

Artist: Moonilena
Track: Förlåt
Album: Minnet
Release date: 10.05.24
Order the digital album here: https://moloton.bandcamp.com/album/minnet

Moonilena's latest release, the 'Tiny Portals' EP, earned acclaim from Resident Advisor and The Ransom Note, marking a bold venture into dream house. Now, with her debut album, this Stockholm-based audiology student, also known as Marlena Salonen, delves even deeper into uncharted territory. The album, a dark suite blending ambient, deathdream, and broken transmission, eschews conventional rhythm for layered harmony, synthesis, drone, and sound design. Inspired by FM synthesis and signal processing theory, Salonen explores the distortion of memory in a future archive, creating a soundtrack where humanity is deliberately lost in translation. The result is 'Minnet,' a sonic journey through vivid, lonely landscapes, evoking empathy for melancholy machines. Moonilena's experimentation extends beyond music, with site specific installations in abandoned industrial spaces and collaborations with artist Lap-See Lam at prestigious venues like Performa 19 Biennial in New York and Galerie Nordenhake in Stockholm.

On this 14th edition of the BLVSH podcast, we welcome @aleks_blc , a Polish DJ based in Copenhagen, member of the Future Female Sounds organisation & the @bgm8s Collective. 

https://www.futurefemalesounds.org

Aleks BLC told us that: “It is still very hard for me to put my style into specific boxes as I love experimenting with electronic genres and sub-genres. I’ve been however very much hooked on spinning garage house, deep house and minimal lately.

This particular mix is all I love about house music: bounciness, riveting vocals and the ever-lasting groove. The mixtape showcases my journey with house music too, going back in time to my teens when I was introduced to garage, through the beginning of my twenties and my true love for deep house to recent fascination with microhouse. It is also a close one to my heart since I’ve decided to feature 2 tracks by my 2 very talented friends from BGM8S collective – Dan Sabel & Divad. I hope you’ll enjoy my selection and tap your toes a little.”
