Nothing In Moderation With DJ Voices And Kia @ The Lot Radio 09 - 14 - 2022

@upsammy
Since the release of her debut EP ‘Another Place’ on Rotterdam's premiere Nous’klaer record label, upsammy has emerged as one of the most exciting contemporary electronic artists of our time. Known for her boundary-pushing vision of music and sound, upsammy’s string of releases on the likes of AD93, Die Orakel and Dekmantel have manifested into a back catalogue that give the sense and feeling of gallery of artworks. With a background in arts, it’s no surprise that upsammy works from a foundation of unbridled imagination. As is a common theme amongst many of my most admired artists, the power to present works that simultaneously champion both the weird and the functional is at the forefront of upsammy’s sound. It seems to me that the space between is where the magic happens - crystalline electronica, otherworldly ambience, hypnotic glitch and deconstructed club sounds morph to produce upsammy’s unique brand of contemporary, psychedelic idm. Her more recent and first long-player ‘Zoom’ showcases a somewhat softer side - warm crunchy textures, bouncing sub bass and at times-playful melodies are bound together with both quirky and functional rhythms. Zoom bestows upon us a beautiful and engaging collection of sounds which tell the story of both organic and digital realms. I once read a Bandcamp fan describe upsammy’s work as ‘fairytale idm’ and I couldn’t agree more. At the heart of every fairytale is a sense of magic, and everything upsammy does is just that. 

Alongside her productions, upsammy is an expert DJ who crafts brilliantly creative mixes and live sets with laser like precision - dynamic blends of experimental electronics weave between dreamy soundscapes, spacial percussion, psychedelic drum and bass and breaks - you can always expect the unexpected and this mix is no different! upsammy joined me live in the PBS studio on the 14th October 2022.

Big thanks @professional_music for the mastering help, @sarawass for the pic, and @itsallhalal for having me play. 

Audio lovers--yes, the mix was recorded in mono. Hopefully you can still enjoy. We were just having fun up there.

Juanita's Mix 83 with NAP @napmusick

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Colombo-Canadian male, 33 yrs old, 5’11 ft, 170 lbs.

Q. How long have you been a part of the Mexico City music scene?
A. I’ve only been here since last March and feel that I’m just starting to get to know the city in general. The positive energy that I’ve felt from everyone from the techno to the cumbia scenes here is what has made me want to stay and get to know the city and country more. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet people like DJ Guccichotas, Joyce Musicolor, Jasmanic, Irma Ruiseñor and the EXT crew who have all welcomed me into their scenes and shown me so much love and support. 

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix was recorded in the 15th floor of Torre Zacatecas in Tlatelolco, Mexico, after having just moved into a new apartment. We had cdjs for the weekend after my roommate had rented them for her birthday so I took a shot at recording something with Juanita's in mind and it was honestly one of the most natural and fun sessions.

"This mix was inspired by lazy, lounging days with my friend, Tondiue's creation, Frog and Dog. This is a mix a tribute to that song, and to lethargic and zoner music that encourages basking lizard energy. It recalls the warmth of summertime, green grass touching tanned skin, cold drinks in hot sunshine, and greetings from old friends. Come chill out with me, Selene :) "
