Music is important, but even more important is the community that enables moments of wonderful connection, in a beautiful place or space, with beautiful friends both old and new. Albert, based in Brooklyn, New York, is one of those heroes that never requests a spotlight, but is consistently dedicating time and care to contribute to some of the spaces and places that the NYC & Brooklyn house and techno community holds so dear. 

Throwing long standing and much loved parties like Bob & Shirley, working tirelessly behind the scenes at a festival that has garnered global critical acclaim, throwing down all night long at Mansions, or as an always welcome and smiling face on a sun lit dance floor, Albert (Ash) has been continuously refining her DJing craft, and we couldn't be more excited to share a slice of it with you for Doof Spawn 012.

A hypnotic, magnetic journey that we hope you will enjoy as much as we have.

Here's what Albert had to say about the mix: 

"On the second night of the festival, a usually quiet Nordic forest hums with life. A slow, steady rhythm starts the set, drawing dancers into a hypnotic flow as the misty summer air lingers and the trees sway around them. As the night deepens, the music builds—layered and psychedelic—until it reaches a peak where time blurs and everything feels slightly unreal."

Be patient, Be curious) there is always something to explore or identity to evolve 🪨 [no boundaries]

“In the era of globalization, one's identity is a multi-faced and hybrid one."
- Yoshiko Shimada.

Avail and praise layers of identity. Embrace and celebrate multi-identity as an essential part of human development. The term aims to unify, not to separate various aspects of identity.

We are a queer-run and centered boutique collective based in New York. Navigating multiple spaces allows us to be hybrid, paying close attention to gender balance in electronic music industry where females, non-binary, and trans people are still widely underrepresented. 

Leaning on electro, bass , experimental, and polyrhythmic techno, we center our activity to a particular sonic experience for reflection, letting people go inwards to notice subtler frequencies, and creating a breathing room for a much needed transformation.
