pi pi pi with deep creep & Succubass @ The Lot Radio 09 - 19 - 2022

Friday morning, @jakemuir opened Hemlock Hole with an absolutely spellbinding morning ambient set. The 'Jake Fan Club' were front and center with a comfortable chair in tow. This wasn't a 4x4 dancefloor moment and those who didn't know quickly understood the magic that Jake was creating. It was a beautiful way to start the day and we are grateful for Jake's ability to generate such a special atmosphere.

Favorite Quote: 
Summer, Saisho-in
 
The evening bell, solemn and bronze
In the grandfather temple down the hill, sounds dimly here.
Slow beat of the mountain’s heart perhaps,
or determined pulse of pine tree (gift of the birds)
growing out of a crotch of the slippery monkey tree. 
All one, perhaps— 
Bell, mountain, tree…
And steady cicada vibrato
And little white dog
And quiet artist-priest, carver of Noh masks, 
fashioning a bamboo crutch for the ancient peach tree—
Symbol of strength, symbol of concern. 
All cool under nodding crowns of the vertical forest. 
all seeking in this place, 
all finding in this place—
Hidden yet open to all—
the spirit in the cedar’s heart. 
 
Advice for the DJs, producers, and artists of our community: We’re all in this together. Uplifting every individual in our community uplifts us all.

The second entry in a series of living documents of momentum

Manifested live at Nowadays in New York City from 3am-6am the morning of June 27 2022

Euphoric kinetic connection embraces disorder inside the void, as we smile & dance toward anamnesis together

Destroy what destroys you & never stop loving one another

Natural's the way you should love
Feel the joy, elevate
It's the way we sway, riding waves eternally
Elevating me, through sky and sea
It's the calming breeze, whispering through the trees
Feel it push you, releasing love from every view
It's the way we sway in elemental harmony
Serenading me
Move so naturally
The moon, the stars
The sky & the sea
Why don't you follow me?
To a place
Where we can be free again
Natural, where I want to be

Thanks to Nowadays staff & everyone who danced & did their thing! This was a special moment in time & has brought me a lot of joy to listen back to since then. I hope it can do the same for any of you who listen.

For extended Q&A... visit our website ----> pipipi.life <----------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hi I’m gianpaolo, nonbinary human. At the moment I am using they/them pronouns. Since 2008 I've produced and dj’d under the name “savile”, and as of this mix I’m transitioning to a new artist name, “gbd”. I live in beautiful brooklyn, new york city.

What track would you listen to... 

If it was the only thing you could listen to 24/7? Alice Coltrane - Turiya and Ramakrishna. It could be any one of a handful from the Coltrane family. Their works have served as a place of solace and safety that’s hard to understate.

Favorite DJ mixing trick?

This is a mental trick, and it definitely changed my playing: in my first
years of DJ’ing i found myself often reaching for tracks based on similar
qualities, like genre, bpm or production style. Instead, I started to prompt myself to select the next track that blended and provided contrast due to how different it was from what played before. I imagined this like building a log cabin upwards, rather than constructing a path of steps in front of me, one after another. This “trick” of challenging myself to choose the next track based on a nonlinear quality, gave me permission to be more personal in how I played, rather than choosing more common likenesses that I felt were more conventional or common. I know this may seem simple but it really opened up my brain:)

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

I do my best to avoid ranking things that I love. I aspire to avoid hierarchy everywhere. But, if I had to pick one, it would be Dweller. There is such important work happening at the festival and throughout their initiatives. I especially implore white people in this scene who’ve not heard of Dweller to double-back and learn closely from the work they are doing. It’s our responsibility as guests to engage and create in a tradition that is not ours, to learn the roots of the music, and to defer to black and brown people in their efforts to reclaim it and build anew.

If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

My mind immediately ran to different “practical” applications that I could apply this to, but in the end I am deeply grateful for the life I’m living and I have a hard time imagining another skillset or practice I would apply the same rigor to. I would however love to master other crafts !

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

This is like 10 months old but still sticking to me. Sometimes one hears a mix from a DJ that makes you realize how deep their ‘crates’ are - this was that mix ! Yumi’s “Haunted Dancehall”

https://soundcloud.com/movement-radio-athens/guest-mix-by-yumi-w-haunted-dancehall-22042022

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

Boyyyyy this could go a million ways... I find this to be a deeply political
question in 2023. There is no doubt we are experiencing an unraveling of systems and structures around us, and I believe the way forward amongst these ruins must be together. In that way, I hope to see a quieting of this drive for fame and popularity, a broadening sense of empathy for one another, and much, much more cross-collaboration between disparate groups and people across social and class stratifications. At the same time, i hope for an abundance of
spaces created by and for black and brown people, trans and queer people, and much less white hegemonic ownership structures.

ADAB is known as a black non binary trans individual who explores sound as a whole. The Pittsburgh based, Chicago born and molded, T4T LUV NRG artist has become known for melding boundaries, often sifting between crates of house, techno, bass music, jungle, broken beat and everything esoteric that exists in between. They've brought this balanced approach to their sets at esteemed parties/festivals like No Way Back, Draaimolen Festival, and Freerotation with no intent to stop anytime soon. Via their involvement with T4T LUV NRG you can often catch them flanked by dear friends behind the decks, conjuring with labelmates Kiernan Laveaux, Russell E.L. Butler (as b2b duo Boyz II Them), Bored Lord, Eris drew and Octo Octa. Equipped with this wide ranging approach and the bonds of chosen family they push against preconceived notions of the craft, continually self overcoming to bring us something with tangible intent...

Notes on the Mix ///

"I came into doing this pride mix with the intent of displaying my own personal joy as a non binary trans person. Every song picked is one that has lifted my spirit in some shape or form and I wanted to give that to my own this pride season. Pride for someone like me is often highlighted by isolation and a lack of desirability, so this mix is a gathering of gems that have battled against those feelings. It's also a collection of tracks that I've been listening to this Pride season in particular. A time that has been elevated by newfound love and a growing sense of finally finding somewhere to belong...enjoy!"

Juanita's Mix 34 with CCL @ccl-url

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. An amorphous blob/orb that likes to wiggle & and dance :)

Q. What was your last memorable club night in NYC?
A. Funnily enough many of my memorable NYC club nights have been with persons in series :). My last NYC club night was with adab. I'm pretty incredibly lucky I got to have that as one of my last club experiences before the pandemic - I think about it all the time. Our friend Shane aka Kiernan Laveaux was also present, and so were some other friends, which made it extra wonderful. adab is a sonic sibling and I look up to them a lot, we got to play separately and back to back. Their set was so profoundly deep and spiritual, and our B2B was like flying at Warp-8, we got to play faster Jungle and DnB and dance around. It was one of the most joyous I’ve felt in a long time. Another notable NYC club experience was an all-night “stop and start” with the one and only Physical Therapy, the heads know. ;)

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I made this mix thinking about what I would like to listen to at a freaky stage called “The Way In” that was at Honcho Campout last year. The visual and memory is so visceral to me, it’s a place my mind travels to often during these times. Slinky, shimmery & freaky in the glow of sunrise. I’ve been listening to a lot of Trip Hop during lockdown, so this is undeniably influenced by those sounds. I miss the feeling of dancing slow, and fast, at the same time, and hugging friends on the dance floor. 

Some hum, crackle and mistakes in here for good measure, so you know I’m a hooman.
