DJ MIXES

Bristol's Daisy Moon joins us for this week's LT podcast with an introspective mix layered with winding, trippy electronics that wax and wane all along the techno and breakbeat continuum. An invigorating Monday mix!

In Daisy Moon's words:
distancing days drift our way and dive to the depths of decay
made with love for lost friends + the absence of the dance
with the turn of a new decade, comes the beginning of a new moon

Fact Mix 900: Daisy Moon (Mar '23)

Daisy Moon live from the Beach Stage at Love International 2023.

Live from the Adriatic 2023: Daisy Moon

"This mix is for the dancers who were in Laika for my set at Field Maneuvers this summer. There were technical issues with the sound recording for some of the sets (including mine) so I’ve re-recorded it for this mix. It’s hard to capture the same energy and I think that some of these tracks work better in a live context but I wanted to have a sonic reminder of this special moment and share it here. I was asked to do this mix off the back of that festival so it made sense for it to have its home on Mantissa <3"

This week’s mixtape guest is Bristol-based Daisy Moon. She has a background in contemporary performance, leading her to be the curator of the mix series ‘Off-Kilter’ and has released music on Rhythm Section International and Control Freak Recordings. But you know we had to chat to her first to hear more about the mix & what she’s been up to recently…

It’s been a really busy time recently! I spent some time in Copenhagen running workshops with theatre maker Rachael Clerke as part of the Live Art Danmark festival – we worked with teenage girls and formed punk bands in just a day. They performed as part of the festival, it was tiring but very empowering and super fun! I played at Macadam in Nantes recently which is a club I’ve always wanted to play… and have just got back from doing an all-night Off-Kilter show in Berlin. My time in Bristol has been spent in my studio finalising an EP which will come out next year. I’ve been doing a lot of mentoring for aspiring producers/DJs, we launched a Mix Nights intermediate DJ course and I’ve also been working on Mix Nights takeovers for next year.

The mix was recorded in my living room on my little but trusty XDJ700s and an Allen and Heath Xone 23 mixer straight into Ableton using my soundcard. I didn’t play any records in this one, most of the music is new stuff I’ve been playing recently.

I wanted to do a driving techno mix that represents the kind of stuff I like to play late at night. I’ve had a few peak and closing club shows recently and this energetic, trippy, fast techy sound is something that I’m enjoying getting stuck into atm. The kind of stuff that suits the season.

And up next?

Got some Housework parties coming up which should be fun. First one is this weekend with Josh Caffe at Strange Brew. I’ve just about finished up an EP due to come out next year, and am halfway through another one so my focus is on finishing that. Doing some live Off-Kilter shows next year so I’ll also be planning and preparing for those.

Bristol label Idle Hands has always been an incubator for exceptional local talent, but even so Daisy Moon’s debut ‘Geometry Of Curves’ EP last year pulled shapes that made everyone take notice – blending gossamer ambient pop vocals and melodies with the south-west city’s reputation for club ready beats.

While this was her intro to the wider world, it’s built on a rock solid foundation. Cutting her teeth as a DJ at the Idle Hands-affiliated club night Brstl, she’s a member of Bristol/Berlin collective Housework, alongside fellow FM favs Shanti Celeste, Gramrcy and Golesworthy, and a co-founder/tutor of Mix Nights, a DJ course and community encouraging women to learn to mix in a safe, welcoming environment. 

With a monthly Relations show on Noods alongside her sister Florence, and guest spots for the likes of Rinse and NTS, she’s as fluid in techno and electro as she is garage and breaks. Recorded in lockdown though, her FM podcast changes tack for a deranged deep dive into experimental chuggers, industrial broken beats and otherworldly techno. Welcome to the dark side of the Moon.
