@upsammy
Since the release of her debut EP ‘Another Place’ on Rotterdam's premiere Nous’klaer record label, upsammy has emerged as one of the most exciting contemporary electronic artists of our time. Known for her boundary-pushing vision of music and sound, upsammy’s string of releases on the likes of AD93, Die Orakel and Dekmantel have manifested into a back catalogue that give the sense and feeling of gallery of artworks. With a background in arts, it’s no surprise that upsammy works from a foundation of unbridled imagination. As is a common theme amongst many of my most admired artists, the power to present works that simultaneously champion both the weird and the functional is at the forefront of upsammy’s sound. It seems to me that the space between is where the magic happens - crystalline electronica, otherworldly ambience, hypnotic glitch and deconstructed club sounds morph to produce upsammy’s unique brand of contemporary, psychedelic idm. Her more recent and first long-player ‘Zoom’ showcases a somewhat softer side - warm crunchy textures, bouncing sub bass and at times-playful melodies are bound together with both quirky and functional rhythms. Zoom bestows upon us a beautiful and engaging collection of sounds which tell the story of both organic and digital realms. I once read a Bandcamp fan describe upsammy’s work as ‘fairytale idm’ and I couldn’t agree more. At the heart of every fairytale is a sense of magic, and everything upsammy does is just that. 

Alongside her productions, upsammy is an expert DJ who crafts brilliantly creative mixes and live sets with laser like precision - dynamic blends of experimental electronics weave between dreamy soundscapes, spacial percussion, psychedelic drum and bass and breaks - you can always expect the unexpected and this mix is no different! upsammy joined me live in the PBS studio on the 14th October 2022.

"This mix was a re-creation of a set I did at the Stream Informer Glen Falls House party this past June. I recorded the live set and was hoping to release that, but I was redlining a little too hard, and the recording came out hopelessly distorted. I was really proud of the mix and put a lot of work into it, so 3 months after the fact I decided to revisit it.

In preparing the set initially I decided to pretend I was playing to the sunrise even though the set ended at 4AM. Sunrise for me means… trance, I guess. It was a really cute party and lots of friends (Alyce included!) were there providing tons of warm and wiggly energy. I remember looking out and seeing someone twerking on the subwoofer at one point. My summer was kind of up and down after that, so it was a really positive memory to revisit.

I did this incarnation of the mix in my living room with 2 old CDJ 2000s, one XDJ 700 that I borrowed from my friend Danny, and my Mastersound 4 rotary mixer. I spent one day practicing, then did two full takes over the next two evenings. The take you’re hearing right now was the last one that I recorded. Looking back at the tracklist, one thing that stands out is how much new music I played, which is pretty rare for me. You’re not usually gonna see this much music from 2020 and beyond in a Tony G tracklist."

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

Moods Season Five closes out with Denver-based duo Peer Review (Manny A and Nico Tobón). From South Chicago to cumbia to spoken word to cloudy walks against the mountain range, the prolific duo's two-hour mix is split by the first half by Manny and the second by Nico: two stories and trajectories that talk, walk, and salsa together.

Moods is community curated and community supported. By helping us out, you're directly supporting artist commissions, curator fees, merchandise, and materials for parties. Give us a buck, four, or more a month here: danielsharp.cargo.site/Moods

Peer Review have an intimate after hours all-vinyl event on January 14th with PLO Man, My Flower, and Alala.One. They have more special things planned in terms of both their residency at Hi-dive and our own fleshed out visions. Stay tuned on their newsletter: https://gmail.us10.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=9a8d13a025d1bfdafba26a700&id=7bdccce4e5

We've paired Peer Review’s mix with Navid Nuur, an Iranian-born Hague-based artist whose practice “applies concepts that often relate to a temporary in-between state that places his work between the audience and an often abstract phenomenon, such as light, energy, air, or ‘rest space.’” (Max Hetzler 2022). Broken Blue Square takes something impossible to miss—neon—and renders them like blinds—something that can hide and determine interiors.

Moods 54: Peer Review

Freaky fun stuff to close out 2022. Thanks to everyone who's tuned in and a big big shoutout to Lower Grand Radio for hosting Club Freak On. 

I am so honored to share the last show of the year with a DJ who can weave magic out of anything they touch — someone who's shown me how conventions can be flipped on their heads and completely re-engineered, and a DJ that teaches me something new about what music can be every time I hear them spin. This mix is a magical soup of tricks, musical refrains weaving in and out, and utter and complete deconstruction/reconstruction by the brilliant Kiernan Laveaux.

First hour is Kiernan Laveaux, and second hour is wngdu. Goodbye 2022!
