MIXES

Oh what a time it's been...

After a small hiatus with the mix series I felt it was important to keep going with it. This beautiful healing music by Berlin based @slowfoam is exactly what the doctor ordered. Slowfoam is the cyber-atmospheric, bubblescape, synthetic pop, and ambient sound project of Madelyn Byrd

"In this mix, I wanted to drift between otherworldly realms to reassociate with the things I love most about ours. For me, some of these things include laying on the earth and pretending to merge into the blue sky, the sonic and energetic sensations of being alone in nature, or staring at a glistening river until falling into a trance. But also, having friends and loved ones I miss so much I start to giggle when I think about the fun we've had together, and then fun we'll have together again." 


Sending love via this intrinsically magical musical language, to everyone in the Animalia community.

Thanks Madelyn for the journey <3

"It was really a surprise and such a great pleasure to receive an invitation from Interdimensional Transmissions Detroit. While speaking with Erika, she said to me :  "Regarding the style -- was kind of hoping for something slower/weirder/more experimental" - (Big SMILE on my face)
As it was especially for Samhain, I decided to celebrate the Invisible and go in healing sound material for starting, and then some ritual and ceremonial elements, imagining different steps in a dark night inner trip. The idea was to accompany a sort of meditation with the body in a slow and raw movement to an altered conscious state. At the end, you got rid of everything. Ready for a new cycle.

Even if it was quite strange to record something alone in my studio, destined to some "online" people, utterly, as it's one of the best places for me to feel connected, this set was truly an inner reflection of my person at this period of time. And I really enjoyed sharing this moment, particularly with the lovely chat people during the retransmission :-)

Hope this one will resonate in your heart.

Thank you again and Much Love to Interdimensional Transmissions from Detroit,
— @azu-tiwaline"

@ssimonowsky

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself

I go by Simonowsky, I’m a resident of The Black Lodge in Los Angeles - I am originally from Chicago. Im the tallest DJ on the west coast.

If you could place a dj booth anywhere in the world… where would it be & what would you play?

Up off a road in between Mt. Wilson and Mt. Lowe north of LA in the San Gabriels - Id probably play my most wigged out free party techno and all my spicy dub cuts

Favorite collective/scene at the moment?

The Directory parties also based here in LA, and the In Training crew

Earliest musical memory?

I bought Beastie Boys ‘Hello Nasty’ when I was 9, snapped the CD in half when I took it out of the case - thankfully they let me have a replacement copy (RIP Blockbuster)

Listen to 11:11 in your mix… what color do you see?

A dark orange glow

Favorite movie rave scene?

Gotta be the cave rave from Matrix Reloaded

Favorite decade for music and why?

Based on my record collection, id have to say the 90s - so much great music was being put out 

How do you hydrate at a gig?

Save those drink tickets, but I try to bring a water bottle with me too

Dream line-up?

Claude Young, Eris Drew, Erika, Bill Converse, Jeff Mills, DJ Rush

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation and you give me a track

Favorite late night snack?
I'm partial to an ice cream sandwich

Advice to beginning dj’s?

Focus on developing your own practice and work at it, use what tools you have access to and try not to compare yourself to other people. Make an effort to meet and work with like minded people around you.

Secret weapon track?  

The B1 track on Channel One & Radius’ Kompute record

DJ Pet Peeves?

record skips, dj booths shorter than 45 inches and people who take up space on the dance floor but don't dance

Where do you want to be flown out to play in the future?

If I ever get flown out - Bogota or Buenos Aires

Where do you see your rave self in 30 years from now?  

I hope I can still be organizing parties & releasing music 

Most underrated artist at the moment?

Colored Craig aka Urban Soul Brotha #5

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

I would like to see the de-commodification of music, and an emphasis on local community building and organization 

Best track for getting down ;)?

@adab

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself

Hey, my name is Miah Benton aka ADAB. I’m Chicago born, Cleveland raised, and currently Pittsburgh based. A fun fact about myself is that I’m largely identifiable by my weird pants people see me wearing all the time.

Favorite music collective atm?

There’s a few at the moment for me actually. TUF (Seattle), Honcho (Pittsburgh), Sublimate (NYC) and Room 4 Resistance (Berlin) are all doing some of my favorite stuff right now in one way or another.

Favorite mix series?

Definitely more than one for this category as well haha. Rave Scout Cookies, Daisychain Podcast, Abstract Without Extraction, Spontaneous Affinity, Neptunian Influence,Beyond/Below,HNYPOT and Truants are a few continually putting great stuff on my radar these days.

Describe the vibe of your ideal party? Space? Smell? Drinks? Anything you can think of ;)

My ideal party is a heavily POC and Queer warehouse that smells of shea butter, Palo Santo, Sage, Leather and Latex. The decorations are a blend of pan african/afrofuturist interior design and dystopian neon lighting. And it’s BYOB but there is a juice bar to keep everyone feeling balanced.

Dream b2b? 

I think most of my dream b2b’s right now with the sounds I’m into are with people I know personally in one way or another:

Titonton Duvante x ADAB
CCL x ADAB
Tabasheer x ADAB
Clark Price x ADAB
SOLD x ADAB
HI-VIS x ADAB
FANA x ADAB

All of these would be really fun and interesting in their own unique ways.

Any ritual performed before djing? 

Every set I bring at least one african mask from my personal altar at home and set it up in the booth.

Describe the weirdest club moment you have experienced?

I was closing one of the Motherbeat parties we do in Hot Mass and at one point started to lose control of my hands via them cramping/clenching shut. Had never heard of it happening to other deejays so for a minute I was worried I was having a stroke or something lol.

Which current friends in your life inspire you on a day to day basis?

Well off top my partner Ayn aka FANA, the entirety of the In Training crew (Mx.Silkman, Father of Two, and Kiernan Laveaux),Tabasheer, Julie Mallis, Ali Berger, CCL, Russell E. L. Butler, Savile, Kamal Naeem, Eris Drew, Octo Octa, SOLD,and Hi-Vis.

Advice to beginning dj’s?

Don’t get discouraged. It’s all in the time you put in. Practice and don’t fixate on others accomplishments. And never ever be afraid to be weird...

Describe the best dj/live set you have seen this year? 

I saw a lot of great sets this year but I’ll keep it short and say seeing our beloved Eris Drew play Now Way Back as I did backstage security was a thrill.

Favorite DJ trick? 

A well placed backspin is always a ton of fun. 

Look on whatever platform you use to listen to music and what is your most listened to track?  

This is one of the most heavily listened to tracks in my youtube account: 
Spiral Tribe “MI5” https://youtu.be/M8viegBjUTM

DJ dream of yours? 

Currently it’s playing the Nyege Nyege Music festival in Uganda. Some of the others are weirdly already happening haha. 

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

I’d like to see more diversity in sound,audience make up, and booking in the dance music community.In my personal opinion too much of it is still very homogeneous and doesn’t reflect the inherent diversity/resistance of this powerful form of music.
