Juanita's Mix 044 with DJ Voices @latenitesbookclub

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I can't really separate who I am as a dj from who I am as a person, so:
On my bad days: a loner and disturbed eccentric, alienated and alienating
On better days: untameable free spirit; subscriber to the forever child archetype

Q. How long have you been a part of the NYC music scene?
A. Going on a decade now! I can only hope that when all is said and done, I will have given back at least half as much as it's given to me.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix is inspired by two experiences: psychedelic walks through Green-Wood Cemetery, and reading about/listening to Andrew Weatherall. They’re united within me, indelibly lodged in the same part of my heart/brain, and mediated through my favorite mode of expression: the dj mix. Similarly, this mix contains two distinct halves that hopefully by the end make sense together as two chapters of the same story.

Source material for this mix is pulled from Andrew Weatherall’s many mixes, production aliases, and record labels; but also songs that I've found on my own that have no connection to AW but still fit the vibe, along with songs connected to recent experiences of auditory hallucinations in the cemetery and biking home on 5th Avenue, depleted but euphoric in the mist. These hallucinations are based on memories of other times I tapped into something greater than myself amongst others (such as dancing the entire length of Powder’s closing set at Sustain Release 2019, if you need an example).

I’m grateful for these two experiences that kept the joy and meaning of life alive within me during an otherwise horrendous pandemic year.

Made with the tripper’s ear, head and heart in mind, there’s subtle and not-so-subtle nods to one’s ideal state while listening to this mix : )

Queer DIY raves forever and ever <3 
So much love for everyone organized, set up, worked and hosted this

Also: I almost didn't want to put this up unedited cause there is a weird silence around 1:19 from a CDJ loading problem. In the end though it felt better to leave the recording as is rather than disrupting the slightly magic votex of the night. So here it is ...blemishes and all

Day Thief @ Club Pansy, November 6th

Nick Boyd (@nickboydnyc) is a dancefloor staple in NYC, and there's good reason for his omnipresence: everything he does, he explains, is centered around the dancefloor and the dancers who spend time there. Whether he's running @sorry-records, DJing at beloved local haunts like The Lot Radio, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and Nowadays (where this mix was recorded), or giving advice to friends, his ethos always comes back to the dancefloor. Grounded by an encyclopedic knowledge of dance music history and generous sharing of that knowledge, Nick and Sorry Records are beacons of integrity and openness in today's dance music community. 

This is part 1 of a 2 part mini-series with Sorry Records.

"This mix is a recording of my first time playing at Nowadays, a club that has been incredibly influential and important to my life and my friends' lives. When I first started deejaying, my only goals really were to play on The Lot Radio and play Nowadays.

When they asked me, I was very surprised, legit like fall on my bathroom floor crying type situation 😂 😭. I’m a sappy nerd and had loads of nerves but I was lucky to be able to do it for the first time alongside my friend and collaborator Khadijah/DJ Delish and also have the time to just completely over-prepare for like three months ahead of time.

I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to do with the space, both extensively over the years keeping a running “Nowadays Wishlist” playlist and in the three months leading up to the party. I eventually came to the conclusion that I wanted to tell a story with what I played, in the tradition dictated by the New York dancefloor. A story about myself and my friends and the scene here as I’ve seen it both good and bad. A story about the Nowadays dancefloor itself and what that space means to me, but in turn also what dance music spaces and community mean period; how they function and the double-edged sword of trying to be good when it comes to those things.

I also wanted to play tracks by my friends that I knew were going to be there. The people I love who I dance alongside there frequently. I wanted to play tracks that were silly too! Tried to give a sense of levity to a pretty emotional thing. I mean, I got into dance music in large part because of the work that Justin (Carter) and Eamon (Harkin) had done through Mister Sunday into Nowadays, and I'd been going to the space since before it was open indoors. I’m there most every week and have put a lot on that floor…

In the weeks following, I finally got myself to listen to it. At first, I was like, there's so many bits in here where I remember not being able to hear myself or hear the cue. It's my first time playing in a big loud club besides like, Bossa. I considered making all these edits to it…

But then kinda just got to the point where I was like — look at the process of the mix, the ethos behind it… it's more about letting go and natural joy and glee than it is about anything else. So I decided to share it unedited, except for a little audio sample I added at the beginning that I didn't get on the recording. There’s a lot of other very concrete lyrical content included — always with purpose and intention but not always lyrics that I believe in personally."

Spontaneous Affinity #047: Nick Boyd

"Hiroshi Teshigahara’s 'Woman in the Dunes', Frank Herbert’s 'Dune', and an inaugural LSD trip all inspired me to weave this mix together in the engulfing feeling of barren desert. Scarce resources, harsh conditions, and rusted tech. Frenetic bursts of energy, endless climbing, exhaust hallucination, the life and death of ego."

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!!

With this mix for the Ever Afters 2023 campout, I wanted to help set the stage (literally) for the lineup that Envelope booked for the Yurt. This took three forms: lesbian soundsystem music to establish dancing in that room as a norm (prog); dark and percussive and carnal tracks to open the gates for wider tempos and sonic palettes (dnb); and experimentally-focused pieces to acknowledge the history of the Yurt as a site of primarily ambient casting (experimental ambient). It works best I think if you imagine yourself in the depths of the California midlands, huddled under swerving UFO lights as the hours from 3-5am careen by 🖤

A little about this mix: I recently played Wrecked in April and my set wasn’t recorded, so I decided to reconstruct some of my favorite moments from the night. Lately I’ve been trying to piece together my love of different genres when I play out: leftfield techno, polyrhythmic sounds, post-dubstep, more classic 4x4 techno and house rhythms, and my love of 80s synthy tracks. It’s not always easy for DJs to express all sides of our musical tastes, and it’s definitely still a work in progress for me. Wrecked felt like a perfect time to experiment more with weaving between many genres. I always try to record mixes in one take, so forgive any minor bumps and bruises along the way in this recording 💖. May is AAPI Heritage month, so this mix is also dedicated to all the other Asian DJs holding it down and doing amazing things around the world. 

 T.Wan is a Brooklyn-based DJ with deep origins in Seattle. Her perceptive ear for trippy techno and bassy, polyrhythmic tracks captivated listeners at Honcho Campout and has since earned her opportunities to play at notable NYC venues like Nowadays, Basement, and Good Room. She has a monthly show on Bristol-based Noods Radio, where she’s been a resident for the past 3 years.
