Mixes

Emerging out of Montréal’s fertile underground scene, DJ and producer SIM is next to take to the stage for our Crack Mix series.

"For my Crack Mix debut, I wanted to represent what goes on in my head," explains SIM over email. "Stuck between a wonky synth line and a thundering sub-bass, I’m constantly picturing how molecules would dance."

Nervous Horizon with Tommy Wallwork & SIM - 20 June 2022

Following a passion for the empowering perreo that started in the 00s at her teenage parties in Galicia, Spanish MC and DJ Clara! blends revolt, sex and humor on reggaeton/rap mutant rhythms with a punk spirit and a feminist foundation. For this infectious and twisted take on the gender she joins forces with eclectic producers including Pearson Sound, Low Jack and Maoupa Mazzocchetti. 

In this new installment of the Rhythmic Culture Podcast, Clara! touches upon everything coming out of the Latinx electronic music scene, that is just as vibrant as it is exciting.

Entering bunni's world is like peering into someone's diary. It's honest and vulnerable with all of her emotions laid out on the table. Launching the moniker three years, bunni started working on music as a way of helping her find herself again after feeling lost following college. bunni is one of the artists coming through the new wave of Miami's underground and has already released on esteemed labels such as Omnidisc and Juke Bounce Werk. It wasn't until earlier this year that bunni released her first fully formed project, the 'tender' EP, a colourful release which is driven by emotive lyrics covering love, lust, heartache and the loss of innocence. The EP comes at a time where we've seen poppy club music come to the forefront with such crossover appeal with the likes of PinkPantheress and piri & tommy, however, bunni is still very much in the club scene, playing at local Miami parties such as Jezebel, PROIBIDÆ and Perreo del Futuroo. Last summer saw bunni perform live on her biggest stage yet at III Points festival and with the goal to work more within the live world, bunni recently moved to NYC where she sets her sights on new challenges, looking to build a new community in the city whilst bringing visibility to the city she grew up in. 

For this edition of The Lowdown we chat to bunni about growing up in Miami and her relationship with music at that time, her motives for moving to NYC, the story behind the 'tender' EP and how she uses music as an emotional outlet. To accompany the feature, bunni has contributed our latest mix which she says "captures these feelings of excitement from living in a new city."
