For the extended Q&A + OG pi pi pi track game, please visit our website ~~~~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~~~~~~

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

SV: Hey hey I’m Sangre Voss (he/him), I live in SE London and I’m apparently somehow related to Hamlet so I think that must make me kind of weird.

WH: Hello! Thanks so much for having us Sasha!! My name is Will - my pronouns are he/him and I am also currently living in London, luckily not too far from Mr Voss! 

Not related to Hamlet, but I am in the background of an episode of Home & Away, although I sadly can’t remember which one

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

SV: My friend gave me a bubble machine as a house warming gift and when the sun hits right, I’ll put it on and sit underneath it. I’m not quite sure how this inspires me musically, but it feels so great that I think it must permeate through somehow.

WH: I’m looking after my parents cat atm and she’s so cute, definitely been a source of some kind of inspiration. It could be the early wake ups, or maybe I’m just jealous and wish I was allowed to sleep as much as her lol. She’d probably love to play with the bubble machine.

Favorite sound in nature? Describe how it makes you feel. 

SV: Difficult to choose but ice has a lot to offer. The sound of pebbles thrown on a frozen lake is definitely a favourite. Makes me want to tilt my head to the side and raise my eyebrows a bit.

WH: Ooh I like the icey sounds, that’s a good shout. Mine feels like a slightly more boring answer, but probably a stream or waves lapping at a shore. Pretty tough not to feel peaceful while hearing that 😇

If you had to describe yourself as an beverage, what would it be and why?

WH: Passiona - Aussie classic! Super delicious but a bit much sometimes.

SV: Buckfast abbey of Buckfast Tonic Wine fame isn’t far from where I grew up in Devon (UK) so it’s the (un)natural choice. I’m also sickly sweet and full of energy(?) so it works on a few levels.

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

WH: Always have to shout out Co-Select, although we’re a bit biased. Very recently went to a great party at a venue called Spanners and hope to go back there again soon, lovely 80 cap space with great sound. Lots of love for the Cheeky Soundsystem guys, and of course the Rye Wax crew (please come back soon)! 

So many around really, and loads of great new parties and crews seem to be springing up all the time here and I can’t wait to check them all out.

SV: I normally end up discovering Will on the dfloor when I’m out so not much to add here - I’ve been to a couple of Sagome events recently that I’ve really liked too though!

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

WH: I feel like I’m seeing really good efforts towards inclusive & diverse lineups which is great, but of course there’s always room for that to be better, especially on “bigger” lineups. 

I’d also like to see less aggro on the internet / in the industry in general. We’re all in it together! Let’s be friendly :) 

SV: yes yes and more genre-diverse nights are always welcome for me!

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!

For her Crack Mix, upsammy’s architectural and shape-shifting approach to sound is in full force. “This mix is more on the percussive and clubby side of my sound,” she tells us, “focussing on a flow between adventurous rhythms with playful high frequencies, eccentric kicks and ambiguous tones”.

One name that's been floating around the UK and beyond is Dj ojo !! 
A talent that all must know and hear. Joe aka Dj ojo is an artist, DJ and producer based in London. He first caught our attention back in 2021 releasing on Accidental Meetings first Compilation with a progressive, organic and emotive track called Mycelial, which set the tone for what was to come. Next releasing on Pressure Dome, Joe was able to create senses we never knew we had and leave us with hair standing on all parts. His music has really made an internally positive impact in the industry. His debut EP 'Coiled Up', released on Blank Mind, was a weird and cozy dose of 4 uniquely structured tracks that stunned us all. 
Joe not only produces but also Co runs 'Avant garbage' with legendary k means on Netail radio every month offering the most obscure sounds for your ears. He is also a resident on Leeds based station, NARR radio.
We are stoked to have Joe join Cozi with his one hour of dubby infused, house which was his first musical love!


Interview..........

1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?

"I've been making music on and off since my teens but it was only about 3 years ago when i started taking it a bit more seriously. I also played drums when i was younger, and i've enjoyed making sounds and rhythms since as long as i can remember, so in some ways producing music felt inevitable. But there was still a massive mental hurdle just to start actually doing it properly. As for DJing, I guess thats just the natural progression from hogging the aux cord at house parties and friends cars. The music is a bit different these days though..."

2. Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?

"I think there are a variety of things that can make a gig cosy, a few experiences stick out for me... hearing Dozzy play slow deep house and techno feels like receiving a big warm hug; going to small and homely venues like Spanners is comforting, even if the music is not; ambient yurts at festivals often offer cosy outlets amongst the chaos - freerotation has the best one i've seen so far. Generally speaking London and the UK could definitely do with more venues focused primarily on comfort."

3.Are you an introvert or extrovert in the industry?

"Honestly it depends on my surroundings, overall i guess probably neutral. If i'm in a comfortable space surrounded by friends, then i like to express myself and make new connections. But i also value my solitude very highly and i like to be alone, even in the club from time to time. So if you see me out and i'm acting awkwardly that's probably why 😶‍🌫️"

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?

maus & stolle - bubble on. stick it on at the afters and watch everyone wobble and melt

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? do you have any special remedies/ mental prep/ places to go to? :)

"If i'm working on some music at home, i like to get into it early in the day if possible. I'll make a coffee and smoothie and prepare my desk area into a calming arrangement. I think most of the best music i've written has been first thing in the morning actually.

Preparing for a DJ gig is more of a gradual process of trying to picture myself in the environment, imagine how i'll feel, and choose a range of music accordingly. Then before the gig, eat a big bowl of pasta and try to not feel too anxious! "
