In the fabric of New York's club scene, Kristin Malossi – @latenitesbookclub – is a crucial thread. As DJ Voices, her sets favour "energy and drama over genre". As one of the bookers at underground institution Nowadays, she champions artists who imbue their selections with authenticity and adventure. Alongside her 90-minute Recognise mix, she tells Eoin Murray how a devotion to community and integrity informs everything she does

Side A: Bass is Eternal
Side B: 2-step Mutual Dream

A Night in the Skull Discotheque by the beloved underground selector CCL is the latest offering in the T4T LUV NRG label’s highly limited DJ mix series of cassettes. This immersive journey through a wonderland of proto-dubstep sounds from the late 1970s through the year 2000 is a sonic sibling to CCL’s acclaimed 2018 mix Ode to Queer Steppas.

Inspired in part by Eris Drew’s use of “old records to create new styles out of fragments” on her Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 mixtape (T4T LUV NRG, 2019), CCL approached this recording with a parallel frame of mind. Created with 3 CDJs, one Turntable, and a Boss Digital Delay 200, the tracks included in the mix are deconstructed from their whole, and constituent parts are intertwined, sampled, and dubbed out while being further stretched beyond their physical limits. CCL mixed many tracks at the 'wrong speed', pitched beyond their original recognizable tone; others are recontextualized through imaginative layering.

With a solid nod to seminal mixtapes of the early 90s, CCL references the namesake for Side A, Bass Is Eternal, an unreleased 1992 mixtape by influential Bristolian producers Smith & Mighty, an important sonic fulcrum amongst the musical tributaries of the hardcore continuum that continues to reverberate to this day. CCL experienced the after-effects of this ‘proto’ sound genesis in 2008, while living in Bristol, by which point its emergent whispers had coalesced into what became known as dubstep. Tracing a rich history of reference through the samples, basslines, moods, and drum patterns emanating from Bass Is Eternal while looking for connections that predate it became a long-term fascination for CCL. The result is a DJ mix that connects the oft-forgotten dots between proto eras and modern developments in bass and dubstep.

For the resulting sonic ride on A Night in the Skull Discotheque, CCL leads us to a fantastical place of timeless surreality – a majestic haunted dancehall soundtracked by a giddy rush of steppers and dubbed-out delights. Subs rattle through syncopated percs, and moody synths glisten in macabre glory. Fantastical dancers wriggle in wispy eternity, liberated from their corporeal forms in all their greatest spiritual wonder. Both extravagant and dusky, A Night in the Skull Discotheque is a world of seductive in-betweens, a place caught between the moodiest depths and the highest exuberance – A love letter to one of the most impactful formative sounds of the last decades.

initiating rr.gmx.007.exe .. 
loading tammylakkis.vibe3[💿] ..

the seventh installment in our guest mix series opens with the tinny call of a Darbuka drum over a winding 303 bassline, a perfect portrait of our guests' diasporic Detroit roots. Motown’s rising voice [@tammylakkis] takes us on a journey through her richly textured, self-contained, and nutrient dense audio universe

Tammy has an unsuspecting appearance when behind the decks, one that was on display while she played our [#RRSEASON0NE] showcase in Detroit last October. head down and nodding, she’s fixed on the waveforms and equipment in front of her. sonically however, she’s delivering Hulk-sized grooves onto the dancefloor, sending bodies into frenzied knots, tangling and untangling at her touch

over the next hour Tammy invites us to experience her Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde essence. we’re led through electro, breaks, acid, and techno, while encountering tracks by Mim Suleiman, False Persona, Dagga, and eventually landing on a jazzy grime conclusion by the emcee of emcees, Novelist

catch more of this virgo virtuoso at Movement Festival in May and keep an ear out for her contribution to the upcoming compilation by Rare Frequency Transmissions, arriving April 5th

Tracklist

[rr.gmx.007]: Tammy Lakkis

This mix was recorded live at Hoppetosse Berlin on Sunday, at the unofficial "New Kids On Acid" after hours, where I spontaneously and totally unexpectedly accepted to take over the party. I didn't have my records with me, as I wasn't booked for the party, so I ended up playing for 8 hours from my USB key I had in my wallet. We finished at 1pm on Monday. Despite some sloppy mixes I decided to upload the whole recording, only the last 3 h are missing- unfortunately the recorder stopped earlier then the party :)
