Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: If you take yourself seriously as an artist then by definition you are a “serious artist.” Try not to let commerce depower art in your life. Music is about making art powerful in your own life. Focus on your private practice first, and then focus on making your music meaningful in the lives of others. That’s the natural way of things. Invest in the idea that your friends are special and talented and then create together. Don’t wait for others to acknowledge your work before you take yourself seriously.

Ben UFO @ The Lot Radio 03-01-2023

Pearson Sound b2b Pangaea b2b Ben UFO recorded live at Freerotation 2015.

Freerotation is a festival we've played for the last seven years. It's the only festival we've played so regularly, and it's an incredibly special place to all three of us.
 
This is the first time we've shared a recording of a set the three of us have played in a club or festival setting, and it feels right that it is a recording from there. This year we played the penultimate set on the final night in the second room, before Objekt closed it out (which you can hear here - https://soundcloud.com/keinobjekt/freerotation-2015-closing-set). Unfortunately the final 15 minutes were lost, but this is almost the entirety of our three hour set.
 
Huge thanks to Steevio, Suzybee, everyone involved in the running of Freerotation, all the attendees and to Alex Downey for the recording!

I haven't posted a live DJ set for a long time - so here's one from this summer's Rural Festival held in the mountains not far from Nagano in Japan. It was my 2nd year at the festival, and I had an amazing time playing from 2.30-5am, with my set starting in pitch black and ending with the sun emerging for the last moments of the set. Big shouts to all the crowd and of course the organisers for having me back!

DJ Set @ Rural Festival, Japan - July 2016

Shanti Celeste always gets the party pumping. Not by reaching for obvious tunes or resorting to the lowest common denominator, but with great selections and slick mixing. Her reach extends deep into house, electro and techno, and can take you way back to the early days or propel you into the future with a seamless ease. Her own productions pull the same trick, and have given rise to pumping vocal house, slippery electro or darker techno jams on key labels like Dekmantel, Idle Hands, Brstl and her own Peach Discs. 

The London based Chilean born artist also finds time to do an NTS show, and serve up red hot podcasts like this one. It is made up of predominantly new and forthcoming music from friends and peers such as Strategy, Peverelist, E-unity, Bass Cleff, SW:SVN, Talaboman remixed by L.B Dub Corp, plus FFT1 and LNS. And it sure does pack a lot in without ever sounding hurried. There are skeletal sci-fi rhythm tracks bleeding into corrugated electro funk, tribal broken beats and deep techno with a fantastic sidestep into the peerless neo-soul of Jill Scott. It’s a brave mix of styles and tempos that leaves you wondering how Celeste has made them all work together quite so well.

By any measure, Or:la has had a busy and impressive rise when it comes to bookings and growing as DJ over the last few years. Born in Derry, Northern Ireland’s second-largest city, she left for Liverpool back in 2012, attracted by its vibrant music scene and the buzz of living in a new city. Here she bought some turntables, started buying records, all whilst investing herself into the local nightlife. Wanting to provide an alternative for people to party in Liverpool, her and fellow DJ Breakwave set up Meine Nacht, a very DIY club venture that involved shopping around for previously unused locations such as old supermarkets and defunct police stations and throwing 7am finish parties. Although she's now left Liverpool, her time there helped form Deep Sea Frequency, the label she now runs and helps curate with Breakwave. Now on its fourth release with a four-tracker from Carlton Doom, the label catalogue includes an inaugural release from Or:la herself, with Valencia-based producer Pépe and the ever in form DJ Seinfeld lending their talents for the subsequent two records.

She's quickly attained a large fan base, much in part to her bridging the line between underground credibility and her often playful narrative when it comes to mixing. Her 2017 Boiler Room set from AVA Festival is a great example, running through dreamy and deep selections from Carl Craig midway, followed by club stormers from Josh Wink and Sterac closely round the corner. Amassing close to a million plays in the space of a year, she hasn't gone by unnoticed, with her abundance of tour dates looking increasingly further away from her hometown of Derry. We caught up with Or:la to discuss the news of her new label Céad, the Deep Sea Frequency artwork and some of the most enjoyable places she's played over the past year. Her Truancy Volume, which she describes as being filled with moments of order into disorder, is a ram packed hour showcasing her bold vision of techno, breaks and acid.

Our next mix series contributor needs little introduction. A third of Hessle Audio, alongside Ben UFO and Pearson Sound, Pangaea has been an essential fixture of the electronic music scene for over a decade. Whether through releases on Hessle’s influential imprint, or as a distinctive and celebrated DJ in his own right - Pangaea is undoubtedly a huge player in shaping the characteristic UK club sound.

Similarly as influential a character at Dimensions, Pangaea has appeared at every single festival since our inception in 2012. Over the years, Hessle’s presence has grown to be a crucial part of the Dimensions experience -  through their boat parties to memorable Moat takeovers. Eight years on, we’re delighted to present this sublime hour-long mix for our series, loaded with percussive, bass-driven heaters destined for the dancefloor...(or the Moat).
