CCL (@ccl-url) has many tricks and plenty of surprises up their sleeve. London-born, US-bred but now Berlin-based, they are playful in what they play but serious about how they play it, whether that's head spinning 160bpm cut, "cowgirl-breaks or wiggle steppers." The key for this multidisciplinary artist and former New Forms festival curator is to find the similarities and differences between shades of sound and rhythm and exploit them to spellbinding effect. As a producer, they are no different and have always managed to find fresh in-between sounds on labels like Fever AM and Discwoman. 

The singular DJ steps up this week with almost two hours of pure sonic adventure. It's a perfect showcase of how they can soundtrack imaginary worlds from humid future jungles to robot dances in the sky. You'll hear rhythms you could never imagine and contort your body in impossible ways, all while admiring the dexterity of the DJ who has threaded together such a trippy trip.

C to the Power of Spirit with BAKE & Batu (live from Sub Club, Glasgow)- 24 April 2023

Very happy to have an artist I've admired for a while now join the series, Italian producer/dj Lucca Mucci aka Piezo (@piezopz). With an impressive repertoire of releases on Idle Hands, Wisdom Teeth and more, Piezo has become known for a unique signature style, spacey, bassy soundscapes with serpentine percussion lines & ever-surprising quirks & charms. 

His DJ style is a poignant flow on from his productions - his set at @terraforma festival last year was a major highlight for me - he soundtracked the scorching hot afternoon with percussive, bassy, rhythmic goodness. 

Thanks so much for contributing to the series Luca!

Crack Mix 510: Will Hofbauer

Name:  Simone
Alias: Smokey / Smoke Dog (@smokey_cph)
Pronouns: She/her
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

Influences: Musically I’d have to say the UK, but I’m not too excited about borders(!) boxes, categories or purist ideas when it comes to music. There are a ton of people that I am inspired by both personally and musically; my girls and my crew: Mama Snake and Solid Blake, and ofc all the bass babes MSJY, re:ni, Darwin, Yeahlena, CCL, Mia Koden, DJ Voices, Mad Miran, Ciel, Niks, Bitter Babe, Azu Tiwaline, mi-el, Roza Terenzi. And my local Copenhagen icons; N.E.GIRL, Gavnlig, Daniel Savi, Lille Høg, Heste Jente, Lyra Valenza, Clara Lucifer, Mbizo, Deb Foam, Cecilie Nørgaard, Nina Marie Lange, 2000F, Purple Rave Club, Cirkeline, Téa, Fruit DJ + Drift Radio and the crew and many more! 

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Earlier this year I started in the position as Head of Music at Strøm Festival, which is one of Copenhagen’s finest institutions for electronic music. It’s such a privilege to be doing this, it’s wild! Before that I spent one and a half years mentoring and tutoring at Future Female Sounds DJ academy. It’s an organization that works towards inclusion for femmes, trans and non-binary people in the field of DJ’ing. So many good femme and queer DJ’s in Copenhagen, oopft. 

Favorite Quote: The more I see, the less I know for sure. (I think it was John Lennon who said it? So true though?!) 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:. Acknowledge your privilege, share your knowledge, open doors for those who need it. Reach out and don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice. Be kind and be brave (is this perhaps a Cinderella quote??) 
Be in it for the music, the art and the creativity of it. Keep digging and exploring. Anyone can learn how to use cdjs, but the real deal is digging. Digging and keeping your mind open to new influences, new people and new genres.

With this mix Smokey asks for you to please learn more about and consider donating to:
There are two really nice initiatives here in Copenhagen that I think could inspire other parts of the world in terms of creating safer conditions for vulnerable people in the streets.
❁ Fixelancen: a van for drug users to safely do their drugs accompanied by professional staff and nurses. This way right about zero people die from overdoses and also it helps protect women and femmes in particular. (https://trv.dk/support.html)
❁ The Red Van which is also a mobile harm reduction organization, it works the same way, but for street-based sex workers. (http://fixerum.dk/)
