Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Ello, I’m Jackson. Pronouns are He/Him. Residing in Eora/Sydney

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Water and light mostly 

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Too many faves. Some heavy hitters off the top are Umami/Echo Flats/Heavenly/Community Chest. They are %100 in it for the experience. Community Chest is a joint force crew of about 7 great crews from Sydney – It’s kinda like when the power rangers come together to make that big robot fighter guy

What was your best moment at the supermarket?

They were playing Bill Withers in a Woollies once and it got me

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

Max D – Indie Rock on C- was maybe the last one that got me good. Max D only plays by Max D’s rules

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Enjoy your life & be kind to others

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

More love and respect, always

@ccl-url blasted us all into space in their closing set atThe Grove on Saturday night.

Campout Mix Series: CCL

Simon Aussel is known for a particularly wild DJing style and leftfield bassy bangers, and it's his curious and playful approach to clubland that's won him loyal fans over the years. Whether photographing drink tokens from gigs or creating an 8-bit version of his debut album on a Game Boy cartridge, he seems to approach every endeavour with childlike joy and wonder—rare qualities in an industry that can leave so many jaded.

The Nantes-born, Paris-based artist's love of club culture, digging and world-building has set him on a blazing path in club music. He's released an exceptionally wide range of music, including a Memphis rap tape for Trilogy Tapes, dubstep-trap-jazz hybrids with Egyptian singer Abdullah Miniawy and deadly hard drum for Livity Sound. His mixes, meanwhile, are fast becoming DJ lore thanks to his knack for connecting seemingly opposed genres like new wave and fast techno. Look no further than his now-infamous Dekmantel Selectors set from 2021 or a marathon back-to-back with Skee Mask in 2022. 

As the French DJ gets more comfortable with story-telling, he's getting more personal and focusing on deeper, slower sounds. That's evident on this RA Podcast—six months in the works—which incorporates woozy downtempo, weighty dub and bleepy beats. Of course, in the chaotic middle section there's plenty of huge basslines, plus old-school electro, acidic techno and even a bouncy edit of the Montell Jordan classic "This Is How We Do It." Showcasing his quirks, influences and growth, this is Simo Cell in prime time.

~ exploring 3/2 polymeter mixing for dance practice, a biweekly dancefloor meditation at LSD in greenpoint, bk ~ ^^

the evening began with a guided movement meditation by selena lee, which i followed with this 90-min percussion workout. selena's instruction helped everyone body-scan and ground themselves, settle into the space, and greet their neighbors. with everyone so dialed into their bodies and the sound, i felt free to explore a litany of trax i have been collecting that hover between tuplet and triplet meters, creating a hybrid rhythmic space where you are free to follow multiple equally present tempos and pulses. special thanks to everyone who shared their favorite triplet trax with me ahead of the night ^^ selections from doula, plushie, lucia beyond, iha, and baalti are included here :)

pretty bright light * * vol.2 * * [live at dance practice, LSD loft]

A psy-fi power hour from one of Australia’s most exciting artists, LOIF. 

Based in Naarm/Melbourne, LOIF made his production debut in late 2019 with the release of ‘Electronic Organism’ and has since landed on a broad selection of record labels such as Animalia, Ute.Rec, Amniote Editions, INDEX Records and Pressure Dome. Most recently, LOIF released his new album ‘GHOSTWORLD’ on Steeplejack. A project that was five years in the making, featuring collaborations with sina, bluhol, and Nū, ‘GHOSTWORLD’ shows the full breadth of LOIF’s ability to build these immersive worlds, journeying through impeccable sound design and psy-influenced soundscapes whilst accomplishing the balancing act of drawing inspiration from both the natural and the digital. Some stand out moments include the deeply emotive, melancholic tone of ‘As Above, So Below’ featuring sina to the tunnelling, skittering energy of ‘Ektoplazm’. On the album, LOIF has created a world that is so distinctively his sonically that lends itself to his live and DJ sets - a couple of the tracks on there are expansions from a live set LOIF had been working on. Whilst LOIF prefers to play outdoors and is deeply influenced by the nature he is surrounded by in Australia with the DIY park parties and bush doofs, over the last few years, LOIF has made a global leap with performances at Persona, Dekmantel Selectors, Dripping, Ohm, Osmosis, Fata Morgana and Recess (in NYC, which is run by como se DJ, who we featured last week), with plans to return to Asia and Europe in the coming months.

It might well have been her set at Freerotation in summer 2018 that really got people talking about Gigsta. It was there that the hardcore heads in the crowd were all abuzz with her fresh mix of heavy bass, house funk, off kilter rhythms and kinked synths. Since then she has become more and more visible at key parties round Europe, not only as resident at Berlin's Room 4 Resistance but also through her painstakingly researched and assembled radio shows for Cashmere, where she takes cues from literature, NASA launches, spoken word pieces and plenty more.

As the eagled-eyed will know, Gigsta has already been confirmed for Dekmantel Selectors in August, but to keep us going until then she has served up a special mix for us. You never know what you'll get with the Belgian artist, it could be hard and fast, could be grime, or could be garage. Here she goes for creepy and unsettling ambiance that eventually gets contorted into warped bass music, hyperactive club, hammering techno and euphoric jungle. It shows an unrivalled command of tempo and makes for a real seat-of-your pants ride.
