@dj_leesh on this sonic memory:


Fragmentation and Union on the Search for Utopia


It is not Utopia that we strive for. It is not reaching a “destination”, as Utopia is no place. It is the search for Utopia. Upon the water, the boat floats. We are in charge of the sails, and we decide which direction we move toward. On this journey, no one said it would be easy. Choppy waters and going forward into the unknown darkness of night. Yet, the stars shine, as does the moon. And from above, there is light. And when hours pass and the sunlight breaks, it simply illuminates. Simultaneously this light casts shadows on the placid watery plane. We need both on this search ~ both night and day. Symbiosis leads to quantum leaps. On this search for no place, memories arise, and with them we move ahead in awareness. Memories fragmented and fractal, morphing and merging and changing with the tides. They gather along the way into a collection of dark and shiny pieces of us. Some we choose to keep. Some we choose to free. We honor them all, for without them we would not be here, right now. On the boat. On this search. Shaping new memories as we float. The Utopian heartbeat thumps to the rhythm of just one sound. Do you hear it? Love is calling.

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.

Chicago's Leesh lives for the Rave. Rooted by the beautiful moments of community and camaraderie on the dancefloors and behind the decks, they created Daisychain at the very start of 2018. The weekly mix series sheds light on the sonic energy from trans and nonbinary folks and women from around the world. Inspired by new beginnings, prismatic light, daisies and the power of genuine connection ~ Daisychain sprouted to life and has only continued to grow. Leesh hosts a monthly Daisychain residency on Berlin's Refuge Worldwide radio station. You can also find them in the Bay Area from time to time as a resident of Squish.

And when Leesh isn't speaker freaking until the daylight comes, they can always be found emotionally exploring, bouncing and rolling through the many pools of sound. Sharing, caring, DIY.

Toni Yotzi is up next for Tapes #72, a staple of both the festival and club circuit across Australia. Her sets traverse four decades of dance music with frenetic energy and zero compromise; from neon-hued techno and prog to tripped out bass and dubstep, trap, and up-to-the-minute club tracks from the boundless fount of domestic talent she’s ingratiated with across Australia.

Having played at some of Australia’s best festivals (Golden Plains, Inner Varnika, Strawberry Fields, Echo Flats, Pitch…), she also played an integral role in putting together Camp Doogs, Western Australia’s premier festival and brought the same curatorial nous to coordinating Dooj parties in Melbourne. She’s toured internationally, performed on Boiler Room and guested on NTS multiple times, as well The Lot Radio, Beats in Space and Noods.

Mor Elian - 03 October 2022

"Recently, my parents moved from Amsterdam to a quiet village away from the city and therefore also away from where I grew up. Before, my childhood always felt close and tangible, just visiting my parents, walking through the old neighbourhood and it's like you've never left. 

It sometimes feels crazy that that time will never come back but through music I often bring this feeling back a little. So this has become the theme of my mix, a kind of ode to that time, with music I got to know through my parents. All this in a 'modern' jacket to suit me as Yb3L"
