I had a lovely time joining DJ Voices & Beta Librae for their double residency this past November! Here's my set from the night. 

I love the big bass, but I also wanted to weave in some silliness and surprises. The whole night will always be a fond memory for me. Thanks to Kristin and Bailey for taking such good care of me.

Hugs to all my friends(Matt & Diamond for flying out), the dancers, and the Nowadays staff! <3 

Also, to Miles and Tiffany for hosting me during my stay. 

BOOF, THERE IT IS!!

Succubass - Live at Nowadays, November '22

Juanita's Mix 081 with Kilopatrah Jones @kilopatrah-jones

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. A quiet dancer who uses music to connect with others. 

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene? 
A. About 12 years as a dancer but 6 years as a dj. (I was a curious kid who stayed in the street)

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix is a little rude, sticky but sweet. I wanted to pull elements from my queer haitian identity and experiences as an NYC native. A lot of the tracks selected are from DJs and artists I look up to. The grooves, syncopation and cuts I mix are to paint a picture of it being 2am in the club, you are pumping & dancing so hard that you are sweating your hair and clothes out but you can’t stop because the music feels too good. In my own way if I was old enough to play at sound factory or the tunnel, this is what it would sound like!

Juanita's Mix 081: Kilopatrah Jones

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.

Adrenaline-spiked video games have soundtracked the youth of millions global-wide for decades. Immersive worlds elevated by pulsing scores have long gripped imaginations, and Chicago techno producer, DJ and video game developer Zvrra is an artist whose dynamic craft can be credited to the console. It was Rockstar’s street racing game Midnight Club II that kick-started Zvrra’s love of techno’s sundry rhythms as the soundtrack featured a strong supply of cuts from esteemed producers.

Galvanized by her gameplay, she quickly began experimenting with her own sound. That was nearly two decades ago and Zvrra’s output has explored a multitude of genres and styles ranging from techno and house, to hip hop, dark ambient, tribal and industrial, with her being a deft hand in blending styles and crafting concept albums.

Since 2020, Zvrra has been breaking through the ranks and rising to prominence. Records such as her self-released Flow State techno EP bagged her high praise in all the right corners with Luke Slater, Umfang, Inigo Kennedy, Dustin Zahn and Ben Sims being among those to support her works. British techno linchpin Shifted is another who took notice, saving her a sought-after slot on his imprint Avian for her debut LP Bizzaroland. Released at the end of 2021, the absorbing, tension-driving nine-tracker spans ambient, techno and noise, and firmly secured Zvrra’s reputation as an artist in a world of her own in concocting distinct, intricate soundscapes. Beyond self-releases and record label dispatches, her music features on HBO Max’s South Side series as well as a TV commercial for the streaming giant.

As for DJing, Zvrra’s shrewd selections have largely been heard across the airwaves with regular guest slots on Rinse FM and The Lot, as well as being tapped by Dekmantel for its crowd-pulling podcast series. And as her productions continue to thud across dancefloors, she’s eager to clock in behind the booths of hallowed clubs and festivals worldwide.

While music production has taken precedence over video game development, in the near future fans of her sonic ammo will be able to explore her three-dimensional creations as she’s developing video games with plans to release them on Steam, Xbox and other major platforms.

A Sound Place with Boo Lean, James Bangura and Bassbear!! @ The Lot Radio 06-11-2023

Live recording from my closing set at Nowadays on July 8, 2023. A 3-ish hour journey through complex rhythms, drum workouts, bass + breaks, post-dubstep, and some cheeky morning vibes. 

Big ups to @bake-all-caps and @no_sir for their killer sets that night. And a special thanks to @8circuitmusic for working some audio mastering magic.

Closing set @ Nowadays 7.8.23

'The Way In' stage was full of incredibly talented artists and everyone owned that it in their own unique way. @physical-therapy kicked off the stage's final night with an unforgettable set; a diverse blend of trip hop, breaks, and r&b.

Campout Series: Physical Therapy

"I’ve started to embrace some of the things I felt were problems to me earlier on in my DJ life, lately—e.g. how messy, non-linear and confusing my DJ “flow” is, often times things end up sounding like a messy emotional soup. This is no different. I’ve been feeling pretty contemplative lately, it’s funny how the ending of an arbitrary amount of time will do this to you. This year marks a decade of me being involved in electronic music and more than half a decade that I’ve been working in social work. I’ve changed a lot over this time period but a few things have remained constant. Both in my work (talking to people who are suicidal) and in myself, one of my biggest takeaways this decade is human being’s remarkable capacity to heal themselves. Music was a huge part of this process for me, so I wanted to put together a mix that reflects this. The mix contains a lot of tracks that remind me of specific times, feelings and people this past 10 years. As Russell EL Butler says, “I play healing music because I need to be healed”." - @ccl-tuf
