Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
It helps me a lot to always be mindful of why I DJ, because every now and then I can feel a little burnt out! So for me personally I know that its my way of connecting with others and sharing myself – and really an act of service. So, I try not to ever forget that DJing is an act of self-care for myself - and keeping that in mind is such a good antidote to things like negative self-talk!

VOLUMINOUS ARTS w. Gavilán Rayna Russom: Guest Scotia [29.11.2022]

Scotia Birdsey aka Scotia is an Upstate NY-based DJ with an active presence in queer nightlife in the Hudson Valley and Capital Region of New York. She returned to dance music and DJing in 2022 after a decade of dormancy, previously hosting the Capital Region party Outpost1, where she booked producers like MikeQ and Doctor Jeep at the initial blooming of their careers. Those two names are appropriate reference points to describe one of her typical sets - cunty and spacious. She has spent the majority of 2022 starting from the beginning once more, DJing any and all opportunities available to her – playing nearly 100 parties for the year, and along the way becoming a co-resident of the Hudson-based Community Rave Network.

Notes on the Mix ///
"I made this mix reflecting on the emotional rollercoaster of 2022 - this was my first year DJing in clubs in ten years, and also my first year being single and dating as a trans girl. I hope that the selection and timing of the toons here can express some of that to others, but also that the awe-inspiring talent of the producers can shine properly! Of course like any mix I do, I couldn't help but indulge in including a few closing sweet treats of nostalgia, like the queer club producer Bamabounce's 2007 Baltimore incantation of Minnie Riperton's Lovin' You! I also am compelled to say that the first portion of this mix feels a bit inspired by the work of fellow XOXA mix creator Sister Zo, whose production and DJing, amongst others, has really helped me rediscover my love for more expressively percussive dance music. I was so totally taken by the Bass and Funky sounds when I witnessed them bloom in the 2010s, and discovering her work this year was the catalyst I needed to bring me back to those sounds."

XOXA BLEND 137 - SCOTIA

Scotia is a DJ with a strong presence in Upstate New York queer nightlife. After a cosmic night of dancing, friendship & witchcraft in the forests of Camp Kennybrook she joined Community Rave Network as a resident. Her sets mix buoyant polyrhythms and hypnagogic textures with the urgency of traditional party music.

“A few weeks ago I went to a friend's party thrown in the basement of a Crown Heights comic book shop. The windows were blacked out, the DJs went very deep in all directions of time and space, and the drugs were just right. I danced with my body and w new & old friends and it swelled my heart through the sunrise! So I put together some of the deeper tunes I've collected over winter to make a love letter to that party. It contains a lot of room for deep listening while building up just a touch of intensity. I hope you enjoy the interplay of textures between all of these incredible tracks as much as I enjoyed puzzlng them together. Please consider buying them from the artists to play for your own self! Love you”

Daisychain 280 - Jubilee

Back with the newest podcast for June and this time, it's a special b2b from RNR's founder, DAIYAH and longtime Berghain resident, Fiedel.

Enjoy this set recorded back at NY's Holo in early 2023. Major thanks to the venue for letting us come by to use the space and mix on its incredible sound system.

Bios Below...

Fiedel:
Contrast. Objection. Antithesis. This is how you might start an attempt to describe the world. A seemingly chaos of shapes and thoughts that don’t belong to each other. An overall image to be found in life and in music. But that’s not Fiedel’s view of the world. Where others make distinctions, he sees connections, where others find emptiness, he finds rooms full of opportunities.

Finding those harmonies, connections and contexts marks out his musical work. The synthesis of apparently opposing music, the interaction and the mix of styles and moods, without loosing the storyline, that makes out the characteristic Fiedel sound.

After the wall came down, the way was open to access a fresh scene, and with it came a whole spectrum of new and old music to discover. In the beginning of the 1990s, he started DJing in public as a regular at the Monday events at Subversiv. Shortly after he began his collaboration with his befriended Errorsmith under the name of MMM. They released several productions and play live shows. Since 2000 he is resident at OstGut and later on at Berghain. ...

You can say one thing about Fiedel: he is no techno or house stereotype pattern, that you can put randomly on a every evening or club. He is lead by his history, the history of the music and the feeling of the moment to build something new and to capture this very moment. Let it be the straight dark techno of today, banging acid of the 80ies or an electro funk record, Fiedel surprises. He undermines and overrides expectations and refrains to limit the music for any reason. He lets the music speak for itself, through himself.

DAIYAH:

DAIYAH, founder of RNR (Rumble N the Ramble) is a dynamic force in the New York techno scene and beyond. Her sets, often described as unexpected, unhinged, and wild, draw inspiration from the harder industrial sounds while blending that with the unbridled genre, experimental. DAIYAH has brought her heavy and fresh sound across multiple cities in North America and Europe. Her party, RNR since its inception has hosted some highly coveted talent and is known for its stellar lineups that provide a consistent vibe all night long.

Her roots started in house music back in 2017 when she achieved two residencies in New York City playing as a duo. In 2019, DAIYAH went solo and took with her an unwavering and growing passion for techno music. Having played all od the major parties and venues in New York while going back and forth to Europe in between, she is known in the community for her captivating sets that roar out to the audience immersing them in space where chaos of the best kind can thrive.
DAIYAH has a knack for creating stories that generate seamless impact and facilitate an unparalleled atmosphere. Through her meticulously curated selections, she illustrates dedication for her craft. Her goal is to search through the most sensual and deepest bowels of the sound to make a space that immerses you in the moment.

Whether its one of her multifaceted sets or her multi-sensory events, you’re in for a journey where sound is celebrated in a way that encourages freedom of expression. DAIYAH is a kindred spirit to the underground and thrives on feeding off the intimacy created with her crowds.


You can catch both Fiedel and DAIYAH this weekend at Basement. DAIYAH will be playing on the 23rd and Fiedel will be playing on the 24th for BOUND’s annual pride party. 

Enjoy!

Name of the Mix: Condensate
About the Mix: «In her seminar "Analog Synthesis for Witches", the musician & artist Gavilán Rayna Russom described our lives as condensate energy temporarily bubbling up from the deep waters of our ancestors. Whenever we visit I always ask her to re-explain the concept and where it comes from, but then I always forget the deets. But I always think about how House music reflects back to me the inner walls of our bubbles so eloquently. It encapsulates the hard times and the opulent ones in a folk tradition type of way. Wherever its goes, good things always seem to follow. I made this mix on two CDJs and a mixer and it features some of my very loved tracks that span the timeline and dimensions of House.»

PS11 b2b Scotia at CRN, January '24

"Man’s search for meaning in the universe; what can be said of it! Having lived for a time disguising myself as one, I am only vaguely qualified to comment. But young adulthood working as a volunteer Field Investigator for the Mutual UFO Network. MUFON is a worldwide non-profit that tracks UFO sightings, looking for a signal in the noise.

Most of the reports left much to be desired – vague reporting that lacked any detail to strike my intuition as proof of life. But there was one person whom I encountered that gave me pause, and still does as I write this now. A humble blue-collar man from the town of Rotterdam, not twenty miles from my own home. I’ve always had a failproof intuition about people & their intentions, and I felt from the moment he opened his mouth that this man was telling the truth about his sighting. He also had actual footage: a pale orange light, slowly gliding across the sky. The light passes behind a church steeple in the foreground, and then appears on the other side, moving on into the horizon. Remember reader, that this was prior to the days of smartphone video and its editability – this was VHS tape! 

In the days that followed talking with him I noted an icy, dreadful feeling growing inside of me. It culminated not long after, when I attended a regression hypnotherapist’s presentation at the New York State MUFON Chapter Annual conference. As the good doctor recanted his portfolio of abductee clients and the strange experiences they reported, I became quite nauseous and my body went into an extreme state of shock. I excused myself from the conference, and later that night, I found myself in a state of nervous breakdown. Was *I* an abductee? Had I been a passenger inside of that pale orange light in the videocassette? I don’t know the answer, but a lifelong obsession about the travails of space travel has followed.

What would it actually be like to be inside of an extraterrestrial spacecraft. Cold and sterile? Cozy and warm? Would you feel inertia, or would you feel stasis? I continue to ruminate on the topic to this day. Here is a DJ mix that explores the matter. Of course, the only important part of a DJ mix is if it has groove, but I hope it also opens up strange new worlds to you!"
