Take a trip this week with @lycheefrut as they send us down the rabbit hole with a psychedelic mix for your ears!

//about the mix
"This mix is inspired by some of the darker, more techno-oriented parties I've DJed recently - specifically in Brooklyn at Basement and for Yearn at Trans-Pecos, where I feel like I was basking in the afterglow of the trippy-but-playful energy of No Way Back and The Bunker parties in Detroit in May. It still feels like a bit of a novelty to create mixes based on in-person dancefloors again and it's nice to be able to connect some of these tracks and blends to specific moments and memories that I can feel viscerally in my body."

//about the artist
“Lychee is a thoughtful, bubbly raveworld fixture. A colorful and perpetually exploratory DJ and event organizer, they manifest underground energy with a magical, scintillating take on technoid psychedelia and relentless, meaningful inquiry. Lychee elegantly runs Spontaneous Affinity (@spontaneousaffinity), a monthly mix and interview series, annual zine, and occasional event platform. A voracious reader and writer, they ever-thoughtfully explore human experience and interconnectedness through words, soundwaves, and the expansive, wobbling pulse of the dancefloor.” -words by Furtive

Lychee got their start as a radio DJ for WMFO, Tufts' college radio station, in 2007. Since starting to play out in 2012, they have played alongside artists like Takaaki Itoh, Objekt, Rrose, Legowelt, Claude Young, and Honey Soundsystem. In addition to playing out, Lychee has organized DJ/producer skillshare events, taught DJ workshops, and curated a speaker event about inclusivity in music technology.

boxofbox - 'oh, hey there little one' mix (rehearsal_mix_20220810)

Groove is in the heart of this mix from Sister System - keeping the summer mood alive as we head into the final weeks of the season. 

"This was recorded live from a party in New York this summer. Summer is my favourite season, so I included all my favourite feel good rollers and I always make sure to include some Miami heat from the homies, a whole lotta love here.” - Sister System 

The Miami-based DJ has recently lain shed a new party series with Jonny From Space and True Vince called Objects Don’t Dance which stemmed from a monthly radio show on Klangbox Radio. They kicked off the series with an all-night-long b2b True Vine and have also booked the likes of Sepher, Mozhgan, Peach and Aurora Halal. Sister System is also affiliated with Floyd, Space, III Points and Omnidisc.

Untitled 909 Podcast 131: Sister System

Squish Radio with Livwutang b2b Wonja | August 25, 2022

A few months late posting this, but here is what got captured from a very magical night into day that I still think about all the time! This is the first two hours of my set, much more craziness was had but the rest will live on in our memories <3 thanks again High+Tight for an incredible party!

Wonja @ High+Tight - June 18 2022

My first DJ experiences were as a radio DJ on my college radio station back in 2007 - 2011, when my music taste ranged from more indie sounds, to HypeMachine remixes, to some of my earlier forays into dance music. Lately I've been trying to dig back deeper into my library and connect the dots between various influences. 

For this mix that first aired on 9/25 for @KEXP's 'Midnight In a Perfect World' radio series, I tried embrace the radio format to mix some sounds from disparate eras of my musical progression, and to reminisce about my early days as a radio DJ.

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello! My name is Tanner Hockey AKA DJ Hockey (he/him). Currently I reside in Vancouver, B.C Canada

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

Daily impressions and my emotional state is a source of inspiration. When I go to mix at home I often select based on how I am feeling, or a mood I want to project.

Describe in detail your favorite place to sit & listen to music.

Rather than sitting, my preference for music listening is walking. My walk to and from work is around 30 minutes and I can generally finish an hour mix a day. This time is meditative as I tune everything around me out and focus on the music and walking.

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers?

Production for me is rewarding, but tough work. I can fall into periods where the thought of starting a new project can seem daunting, on the flip side I can be very addicted to a project once started. Finding one source of inspiration can be all it takes to push yourself into a new project. Re-interpreting an element of an old song is often helpful for me.  

Favorite BPM and why?

I really enjoy 130-135 as it’s a pace that can have drive but people can still marathon dance, or at least I can :).

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

More protection for DIY spaces from gentrification and recognition of their cultural importance at municipal levels.
