On Cue: Chrissy

Name: Kelsie Walda
Alias: DJ Chia Pudding (@chiapudding)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Chicago
 
Influences: dancing <3, earth and universal energy, god, flowers, Missy Elliott + the hip/hop and r&b of the 90's/early 00's that I grew up with, my friends, Noumenal Rave, pure joy, raving with real ones in the woods :), the Skate Palace (childhood skating rink), and trees
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Swung (party)
 
Favorite Quote: "The world is burning. Ideas are like hot potatoes. If you're still hoarding yours when the waves consume the shore, when the fires reach your village, you have lost the game. Don't hold an idea for too long. Give it away, and trust that someone may think it better than you. I have come to the conclusion that I may not live long enough to finish all the writing and stories I want to tell. How much better would it be to give these stories away to people who can grow them into something wilder and more durable? Authorship and individuality have only recently become attached to art-making. For most of human history art-making was always multi-generational and always a relational event" - Sophie Strand 
 
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Get to know yourself because other people (often unknowingly) will try to exert their will on you. If you can stay grounded in your own body/energy, you will be better equipped to navigate these influences in a healthy way. Practice :)) 

With this mix DJ Chia Pudding asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
Tokeyamaniwin Project aims to 
"- Preserve indigenous plant medicine by making flower and environmental essences throughout Lakota territory and collecting the stories and mythologies associated with these regions.
- Create a dialogue with mental health providers and other care providers about the beneficial uses of flower essences for people experiencing chronic and acute post-trauma symptoms, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, and anxious/depressive states.
- Make and distribute flower essences to those suffering generational trauma caused by the effects of long-term colonial genocide.
- Engage native youth on the Cheyenne River Sioux, Pine Ridge, Rosebud, and Standing Rock Reservations to learn and create flower essence medicine for the healing of their communities."

Benny Salvador is at the forefront of a new dance movement in Aotearoa. The Te Whanganui-a-Tara based artist has a reputation for refined and exploratory dancefloor odysseys, driven by his innate curiosity and a childhood surrounded by music. He also an irrepressible force in the studio, with a wicked run of EPs out on his own imprint Aunty Records, features on compilations by Antal and Juke Bounce Werk, and a grab-bag of unreleased cuts and edits ready to be unleashed at every show.  He takes over Friendly Potential Radio in anticipation of his appearance at Beacon Festival in Tāmaki Makaurau next weekend. 

From Benny: I had heaps of fun sitting around the house with my dad picking through some of his and my faves and messing around dubbing them out with my delay pedals haha. Excuse the delay feedback mishaps and some record skips!

Youngsta is one of dubstep’s most foundational figures, an integral force in shaping the genre from its earliest days at iconic club night FWD>>. A specialist through and through, he’s stayed true to the sound throughout its evolution, pushing the original minimalist style that’s now seeing a resurgence in interest.

Alongside his On Cue mix of stripped-back dubstep “ammunition”, he speaks to DJ Mag’s Rob McCallum about how the sound came to be, the vital impact of his sister, Sarah, his struggles with addiction, and his hopes for the future.

With his @shaytoonrecords label, @sepehr-a has built a platform for underground techno and electronic music from the Iranian diaspora. But the versatile New York-based producer and DJ fights oversimplified categorisations and pigeonholing at every turn, extracting as much influence from obscure ‘90s rave records as much as Persian mythology

Alongside a 90-minute On Cue mix demonstrating this sound, he tells Marke Bieschke about his Flower Storm project with Kasra V, the influence of Silent Servant, and his grunge-influenced new band.

@ms-marcia is into her fourth decade behind the decks and has seen many trends come and go in that time. Throughout, she’s stuck with what truly moves her: an assortment of Black music from jazz, funk and boogie to gospel house, broken beat and beyond. She’s thought about giving up DJing on more than one occasion, but — driven by passion and faith — is now enjoying a well-deserved moment in the sun. Alongside an uplifting On Cue mix, she tells Ria Hylton her story
