Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Don’t gatekeep, don’t rush, find people you’re excited to share music with. Support your peers (listen and share their mixes, buy their music, go to their gigs)! 
The mix I initially prepared for this series I recorded a couple of times -  it felt like I was trying too hard to make something work and it just wasn’t sitting right… but after a night of djing at my friend Amelia Holt’s crib and then watching our friend liivwutang literally tear the club apart, I recorded this session the next day. I wasn’t recording with the intention of using it for anything so there was 0 pressure, I just plugged in my usb and tried to ride the vibes I was blessed with from the night before and something good happened. So record all your sessions and more importantly stay inspired/energized by the work n skills of other djs bc why did we wanna start doing this in the first place? some dj rocked your shit fr.

"This mix was inspired by lazy, lounging days with my friend, Tondiue's creation, Frog and Dog. This is a mix a tribute to that song, and to lethargic and zoner music that encourages basking lizard energy. It recalls the warmth of summertime, green grass touching tanned skin, cold drinks in hot sunshine, and greetings from old friends. Come chill out with me, Selene :) "

032 - Missed Connections w/ Selene

aka-Sol (@acaciabaila) is an Ecuadorian DJ, producer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn. Through their Acacia Baila label, they're also a connector: they've released their own tracks and collaborations alongside releases from their friends and community, as well as thrown events at spaces like Mansions and their involvement in the Dripping event series and festival. As a DJ, their sets are genre-defying and psychedelic, bridging the gap between heady, trippy sounds and groove and percussion that go straight to the body. Their mix for us is deftly controlled chaos — a fresh, freaky take on 'fast' that's as floating and expansive as it is frenetic.

"I wanted to create a mix exploring the 150-160 bpm pocket. I feel like I have only landed in playing around these tempos a few times while DJing live, and had definitely not recorded a mix up there before. I was itching to submerge into it after a crucial year in my DJ career, where I have widely expanded the limitations of the things I feel comfortable playing.

It’s been refreshing to understand more and more that I am not an artist/DJ that could be defined by a music genre, but rather by the sensibility in which I lace the different styles and sounds I use to create narratives when constructing my sets. Another important challenge I presented to myself for recording this mix was the curiosity of understanding what kind of tunes I would select and blend for this as a non DnB nor hard techno DJ. I feel like by going through this challenge, I have opened a world of possibilities that I can’t wait to incorporate when playing out there.

In terms of feelings explored, I would say that expansiveness of the body and the mind are a recurrent element in my practice and it was very present in this mix too. I wanted to build something that could feel both complex yet fluid. Entering into deeper introspections while feeling your body being pulled in all possible directions at once until the point of surrendering into a floating state of slow movements is the only possible solution to cope with the amount of information being received.

In terms of gear, I used 2 Pioneer XDJ-700s and a Pioneer DJM 450 mixer. For the recording I use a Zoom H6 recorder."

Life happens, things get put on hold, but true love of music never wanes. After an unplanned pause, I’m launching this mix series to stay connected to the sonic universe and share music to which I've been vibing. Enjoy x

ascetic aesthetic  #1

I'm really moved by how @xnyhne described their Koreanness, in part, as "a willpower to preserve". In this sense, their mix evokes in me the same kinds of tensions I feel between the necessary pain of remembering and the compulsory mania of transmuting that pain into an unknown forward. It takes us backwards into ancestral history, through brooding, distorted soundscapes, and then towards a future where high-octane, han-releasing rhythms abound.

***
Nyhne is a bloodstained poem in an ornate frame. It is the sonic moniker of Nancy Kim, a queer Korean-American interdisciplinary artist, whose work navigates across sculpture, sound, design, and architecture. Their projects consider both time and “waste” as physical materials that transmute into portals to hidden stories. As Nyhne, their music explores feedback, drone, experimental noise, found sounds, ritual, and spoken word, often forming textural landscapes for catharsis.

Echium - Glacial Rust
