Jhonat (@jhonattt), DJ and local journalist from Brasília and a dear friend of mine, is the guest #01 of the series "collecting in another dimension". 

I consider Jhon a DJ who goes beyond the stages, being a genuine collector of moments in raves, festivals, and electronic music parties. With unparalleled dedication to experiencing different facets of this universe, he carries with him a vast repertoire of "dance floor lessons."

His keen ear for hypnotic tones is reflected in this mix as an immersive sound set, which is both euphoric and cozy, marked by heavy beats yet surrounded by a melancholic and contemplative atmosphere, flirting with genres like techno, ambient, IDM, and trance.

Jhonat, DJ e jornalista local de Brasília e um querido amigo, é o convidado 01# da série "collecting in another dimension."  

Considero o Jhon um DJ que está além dos palcos, sendo um genuíno colecionador de momentos em raves, festivais e festas de música eletrônica. Com uma dedicação impar pra viver diferentes facetas desse universo, carrega em sua bagagem um amplo repertório de “aulas de pista”. 

Sua audição apurada pra timbres hipnóticos é refletida nesse mix em um conjunto sonoro imersivo, que é ao mesmo tempo eufórico e aconchegante, marcado por batidas carregadas mas envolto em uma atmosfera melancólica e contemplativa em um flerte com os gêneros techno, ambient, idm, e trance.

drendiela is the name and concept that DJ, visual artist, and anthropologist Julia Mota adopted in 2016, after crossing paths with a magical Colombian traveler and illusionist. When the magician asked her name, she responded with another question: "What name do you think I have?" The answer was "drendiela," followed by a story about its meaning.

In essence, drendiela represents an imagistic person who transits between worlds, a time traveler who crosses binary divisions, moving through the past, present, and future. Since that singular encounter, Julia has been bringing this character to life, adding new layers of meaning. Julia merges with drendiela when she signs her artistic creations with this name.

For Julia, a native of Paracatu (tupi-guarani name that means ‘good river’), a city in Minas Gerais that hosts one of the largest open-pit gold mines in the world, and living in Brasília, the capital of Brasil, an "idealized city”, since the age of seven, drendiela symbolizes a dream, a utopia, an unfinished code, a disruption, and decentralization. It is a continuous experiment whose purpose is to expand our capacities to imagine other possible worlds, other lines and curves, narratives, textures, sensations and techniques; – to unite the improbable, dig into the concrete to reach the subjective.
