Ahh really love getting lost in this mix rn <3

Transition

Lychee (@lycheefrut) & I had a lovely time joining May's Nowadays Nonstop with an extended back-to-back, and I'm glad we're able to revisit the moment.

We wanted this set to be as fun as possible while distinctly ourselves, and I love that you can hear a bit of both of us in the recording, dancing side-by-side in one of our favorite venues and building steadily toward a euphoria of our own.

Recorded live at Nowadays (@nowadaysnyc), 28 May 2022, 10PM - 2AM. With much love & thanks to the Nowadays staff and all the dancers. Illustration by Sofia Hjortberg.

My Flower

My Flower | May '23

Based in NYC, and with a background as a DJ, writer, and event organizer, Lychee's (@lycheefrut) underground energy is evident in every set they craft. With regular appearances at Basement, Nowadays, and Bossa Nova Civic Club, Lychee also runs Spontaneous Affinity, a monthly mix and interview series and occasional event platform, and the label Unimatrix Zero, as well as serving on the board for the Aslice Foundation.

Drawing inspiration from recent musical explorations at Nowadays in NYC in particular, Lychee's Patterns of Perception 116 showcases a return to their musical foundations in hypnotic, dubby, wormholey techno. Embracing a more focused, classic feel than many of their recent dancefloor explorations, this mix infuses a sense of narrative and evolution, effortlessly blending darkness and light, corporeality and sentimentality.

CIRCUIT LITANY

This EP is meant to tell the story of the 3xtraT3rr3strial Invasion, the Abduction of fans aboard an Alien Ship, and their Escape (or maybe not...). Original cover artwork is by my son (thank you, my boy!).

Escape

Name: Alyce C.
Alias: Lychee (@lycheefrut)
Pronouns: they/them
Location: Brooklyn, NY (via Boston)

Influences: I'm most influenced and inspired by the hardworking people around me who help me believe in myself. Tom who runs Techno Queers has been my close techno companion since we were dubstep rave babies together, my Distrikt1 co-organizer Nerea (Ne/Re/A) helped me find a home in the techno community in New York, Aaron J of Sure Thing has been an inspiring, grounded, community-driven co-promoter in Boston and NY, my longtime friend Dennis (Parzer/Open Ground) in Boston was one of the first people I ever did DIY events with and I'll never forget what I learned from those, my partner Nathaniel (Blankstairs) whose intrinsic musical work ethic always motivates me to keep doing what I feel no matter what's happening in the "scene."

I'm also inspired by collectives and mix series like this one that keep their ear to the underground and highlight marginalized artists - Noctuary, Beyond/Below, DIESELcast, Abstract without Abstraction, TUF, Beyond/Below, Gays Hate Techno, Honey Soundsystem, Discwoman, Walking & Falling, Maneater, the list is huge and I'm sure I forgot some big ones.

Favorite Quote: 
"Saccharine is our sweetest word for fear: the fear of too much sentiment, too much taste.
When we hear saccharine, we think of cancer: too many cells congealing in the body.
When we hear saccharine, we think of language that has shamed us, netted our hearts in
trite articulations: words repeated too many times for cheap effect, recycled ad nauseam… We think we should have to work in order to feel. We want to have our cake resist us; and then we want to eat it, too." - Leslie Jamison, In Defense of Saccharin(e) (hard to choose just one quote from this essay!)

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Collaboration is important and I'm glad to have some great collaborators who both challenge and support me, but you should never feel like you need anyone else's permission to do anything! There are more resources and communities out there than ever to help support marginalized artists - if you have a dream project, don't be afraid to execute it on your own, without compromise (and ask for help when you need it).

Last year I made my first ever print zine for my own mix/interview series, and for some that would be a minor project, but for me it was huge proof to myself that I could pull together a new type of project if I set my mind to it - and finding the confidence to do that (and start my own series at all) took way longer than it probably should have.
