guest mixes

For this week’s mix, we're happy to have Nazira. An artist who has fundamentally changed the electronic music scene in her native city of Almaty in Kazakhstan, and has gained international recognition over the years.

Left Bank Podcast 014 - Nazira

Name: Andy Garvey (@andygarveyandygarvey)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Eora/Sydney, Australia 
 
Influences: I am very much influenced by my local scene, the beautiful people and the spaces that we share.
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Pure Space, NECTAR, FBi Radio, triple j
 
Favorite Quote: We don't stop dancing when we grow old... We grow old when we stop dancing.
 
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: You only get out what you put in. Find space to contribute to your scene before you expect anything from it. Whether it's running a club night, starting a label, collaborating, sharing knowledge or promoting other artists, giving your energy to the scene is vital. I truly believe that so many of the opportunities I have received have come from the energy I have contributed - I see it as a really beautiful exchange. 

With this mix Andy Garvey asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
❁ Irregular Fit - A local DJ workshop and mentoring program for Bla(c)k and brown folk run by Aybatonye, one of Eora/Sydney's powerhouse DJs and event curators. 
https://instagram.com/irregularfit 
❁ Community Chest - An event series in Eora/Sydney created by seven of our local party crews with all profits donated to a new charity / cause. The parties run from 9pm till midday and have been some of the most special dancefloors I've ever been on.

GiGi FM is a trained dancer, which gives her a deeper insight into the intrinsic relationship between music and bodily movement. You can read a lot more about her philosophy and approach in the interview below, but you don't even need to know about it to hear this in her RA Podcast—a collection of swirling deep techno that rivals anything made by the usual cohort of "hypnotic" techno heads.

Looking at the tracklist doesn't really do it justice, but the names involved give you an idea of what to expect: Varuna, ASC, Donato Dozzy, The Orb, Sunju Hargun. This is techno that ripples rather than bludgeons, that moves with an ethereal grace, where tracks bleed into one another beautifully, with a few surprises, too. While you're here, you should check out her Magnetite EP for Bambounou's label Bambe, already one of the young year's most bewitching techno records. But if this is your introduction, then turn off the lights, light a candle or some palo santo, and sink into two hours of your new favorite techno DJ.

"Opposites. It’s quite astonishing to me how many things you can nudge into some mode of meaningful co-existence as soon as you beat-match them. The carefully crafted and the crude, the solemn and the silly. Far less practical occasions to compartmentalise over the past two years, anyway." - @stefangoldmann

@legowelt-official
There are many outstanding artists within Electronic Music, however, from another galaxy far, far away there is a human named Legowelt who has created his own world separated from all others. We had the pleasure of releasing a Legowelt remix on our Dim Garden Album release some months ago and now we've released a very special mix where you can listen to unreleased Legowelt tracks and a lot of tracks that he loves.
We believe that we live in a magnificent era being spoilt for choice and that’s how I feel when listening to Legowelt live sets. I'm not exaggerating when I say that Legowelt is one of the most influential artists of our time and a top artist who has always been identified as being in the Underground scene.

Perennially fascinated by old and battered noise-making machines, his dizzying output is defined by analogue textures and classic values ​​as well as an ever-roaming sense of sonic investigation that veers from techno to freaky house deepness via old school acid. A producer with a rare sense of humor.

They land on labels like Clone, L.I.E.S., Peoples Potential Unlimited and Nightwind Records in the form of myriad EPs but also well received full lengths like The Paranormal Soul and Pancakes with Mist.
 Enjoy this special set for Italo Moderni by the goat LEGOWELT!"

California-bred Robert Yang, also known as @Bezier, is an American DJ and producer.
While best known for being one of the earliest members of the queer San Francisco musical collective Honey Soundsystem, Yang also produces under multiple aliases and heads three blooming labels: Bodyzone, m-i-v (short for mémoire involontaire), and Piece of Work.
Bézier cut his teeth in the San Francisco scene for a decade, and now firmly planted in Berlin, where he continues to expand his sound and vision into a cohesive yet dynamic mosaic.

Bézier’s productions walk the line between soft and hard, emotive and gritty. From their early interest in braindance and IDM to their dance-forward proclivities, Bézier’s influences are wide-ranging, resulting in music that is as carefree as it is relentless. A master of synth work, Bézier employs a range of analog synthesizers to create highly textured tracks that recall a retro-futuristic soundscape. 
The atmosphere of these releases, often cinematic, bring to mind motorbikes zipping through alleyways or neon sunsets dripping with a kind of dystopian euphoria.

GUEST SERIES : Bézier

Freerotation Festival (a.k.a. the highlight of every year a.k.a. the four best dancefloors on the planet) was on top form this year – it's always a total joy to play and spend the weekend there and I'm really happy to share the recording of my set. I was playing second-to-last on Sunday night in Room 1, between XDB and Sebastian Mullaert, so I figured I'd leave out the drastic tempo shifts and just have A LOAD OF FUN keeping the party going instead, maybe coaxing out a couple of end-of-festival tears in the process.

If you were there then millions of thanks to you, there's no bunch of people I'd rather play to (or hang out with) and I've spent the last 3 days wishing I could go back. Hope you've managed to get through the last few days without almost weeping at the coffee machine. (I've had no such luck.)

And, obv, thanks as ever to Steevio and Suzybee for having me :)))

Dr. Rubinstein is that rare thing, a DJ who's just a DJ. It almost seems churlish to put it that way, but she's made her name and career enchanting crowds with just her infectious selections of acid techno and cosmic electro. Just watch her on the decks, how she feels the music she shares with the crowd, you can sense how her love of the club was born on the dance floor itself, and as an avid raver herself you can see why she's so in demand across the globe. She's in the middle of a year that's already seen her play on both hemispheres, from Melbourne and Hanoi to San Francisco and Los Angeles, from Helsinki to Barcelona and Ibiza, not to mention regular appearances at Berghain's Klubnacht and other celebrated clubs around the globe. Her Truancy Volume reflects on how quickly time passes, covering a range of fast-paced electro that's laced with emotion. We also caught up with her to discuss the demands of her touring lifestyle, how she prepares for different kinds of set and her love of David Lunch.

Truancy Volume 245: Dr. Rubinstein

Nazira is a real powerhouse. She has almost single handedly built up an electronic music scene in her native Almaty in Kazakhstan. She runs her own ZVUK nights in a range of unique settings, was responsible for bringing a one off edition of Unsound to the region in 2017, and after word spread about her skills, she has gone on to represent around Europe while hosting workshops back home that aim to grow local talents. All this is even more impressive given how far removed her hometown is from the rest of the global circuit.

As a DJ, host on Radio Cómeme and resident at Berlin’s Room 4 Resistance, Nazira brings physicality and angular rhythm to her work. For this week’s mix, she kicks off with skeletal bass and huge open spaces of futuristic ambiance before the jittery techno and industrial drum loops take over. Melodies rarely appear, instead the mood is dark, heads down, and focussed. It is the sound of an artist who is assured and uncompromising, which is a perfect reflection of the DJ behind it.
