NYC legend - DJ G ( @dj-ggggg ) takes over earth doggo this week with a piping hot hour of murky basslines, foggy pads, and minimal steeze.. peak time morning style

Questions for the dog:

--What's the best dance track of all time? 

The Cool Notes - My Tune.
 
--Best party in recent memory?

Nonstop at the end of January. I got there on Sunday at 9am and expected a very chill one because of the snow storm that weekend but the heads were out in force and the atmosphere and the music was incredible throughout the day.

--Peak time style or Early morning style?

The style when early morning is peak time : )

--Where do you think contemporary dance music is heading? What's the next wave? Any labels pushing a sound your attracted to at the moment?

I think that coming out of the pandemic there's a renewed sense of importance being placed on this culture and on real life human connections. This will only boost the interest in both underground and mainstream experiences centered around dance music and deepen its significance for people already participating. I’m very optimistic about what’s to come and I think the future will make fertile grounds for a lot of fun and more experimentation that help to grow what’s already in bloom.

I also see a refocusing on the roots of this culture underway and lot of conversations happening around how to honor the people of color and the queer communities that are responsible for sowing the seeds that have given life to this thing that brings so many people so much joy. I’m excited by the prospect of newly imagined spaces being led by these groups that will foster new movements and ideas to push everything forward. That’s the next wave, I think. 

Additionally, as technology develops I think we’ll see more attempts to push the experience of listening to dance music further into the digital world and I’m confident that in the not too distant future lots of virtual clubs will exist where people will put on a VR headset in their homes and pretend they’re raving. These things are probably already out there but I think in five to ten years we'll see a lot more. If another deadly virus emerges and we’re not able to get it together irl again then I guess I’m down with the tech if it helps keep the culture going. But as immersive as this stuff has the potential to be, it definitely won't match the feeling of being in a room full of mad-for-it ravers lost in the vibe and feeding off one another’s energy. Despite the best efforts of the Silicon Valley types who think they’ve got the read on what’s happening, there won’t ever be an app for that. The mainstream brands and promoters will probably embrace this and I think the underground will be unified in calling bullshit on it. So it'll be win, win.

And on labels that are delivering the goods, there's an overwhelming amount of people absolutely crushing it but I think what the Incienso fam are doing is right up there with some of the best in the world in terms of releasing a range of high quality and sonically diverse music.

--This mix is insane - what inspired you?

Thank you! I was mainly just trying to do something that I thought Earth Dog would be down with so you were def the guiding light. But in the back of my mind when I was choosing tracks I was thinking about the tripped-out, sultry sounds that I heard Luciano and Villalobos play in between CO2 blasts at Space in Miami one Friday afternoon back in December. Thanks for the opportunity to put it together : )

@mgmldrm was kind enough to record this wonderful set for contact. layered otherworldly soundscapes and hummed vocals filter in and out of view - there's a real dynamic sense of space and texture in the hour.  I've been listening to the set a lot - hope you enjoy it as much as I do

For the newest Animix i'm very happy to host an exciting, bass-heavy mix by one of my favourite DJs at the moment, Amsterdam local @jasminhoek

She is in many ways a perfect representation of the bright, bubbly and diverse style that is common amongst so many of my favourite Dutch DJs and producers, whilst at the same time she is certainly paving her own refreshing and unique style. 

Residing in Amsterdam & studying gender studies, Jasmin hosts her own radio show "petting dogs" on Stranded FM.  She frequently featured on De School lineups before its' closure this year, and i'm excited to see where she goes with her DJ'ing in the post-covid music world.

Thanks again for being a part of the series Jasmín! <3
