beautful mix, can i have the id of this one?

"I hate being recorded," Mala says nine minutes into this interview. "I don't like my sets being recorded, I don't like being video recorded." The Deep Medi boss and DMZ cofounder is describing his fiercely independent nature to journalist Kieran Yates, explaining how bright lights and prompts leads to self-consciousness. That's why DMZ parties are held in dark rooms, as to encourage freedom, he continues.

Authenticity is a defining theme of Mala's career. Speaking to Yates live at SOUP in Manchester as part of RA's 21st birthday celebrations, the Croyden-raised artist discusses how signing a record deal with EMI at the age of 20 led to misrepresentation. This early exposure to the industry's commercial backbone paved the way for DMZ's democratic, inclusive ethos, he tells Yates. "If I create something that's true to myself, and I can live an authentic existence, somehow by us all being ourselves, I think that makes the world better."

Echolocation 2023 [21/01/21]

A set I performed last month at an outdoor Echo Soundsystem showcase event. 

The Soundsystem was set up facing the water on a secluded, cozy bay in Titirangi/Huia (West Auckland/NZ). When we arrived, there were families chilling on the beach that were all very interested in what was about to happen. 

This set was the first of the day/night during the hours of 12 pm - 2 pm. The tone of the mix was curated to compliment the natural environment we were in and the music lovers who were there enjoying catching up under sun lit marquee, warming up for the night ahead.  

Thank you EchoSoundstem for putting in on.

Piezo joins sour series this week with an exhilarating percussive workout, frantically shifting between left-field house and techno with otherworldly grooves, deep bass-lines and atmospheric breakdowns that offer brief moments of rest throughout. It's clear to hear the influence Piezo's skills as a sound designer have on the musical output and track selections - creating a fluency within the mix that is seldom achieved with the same grace. 

With previous releases coming via Idle Hands, Swamp 81, Version and Wisdom Teeth, we're looking forward to hearing more of this sought-after sound.

TRACKLIST –– https://www.dummymag.com/mix/dummy-mix-601-will-hofbauer/

Selector and label head @willhofbauer is at the forefront of exciting club sounds in London. Heading up the Third Place label, he also co-runs the event series Co-Select which focuses on gender equality in the DJ world, curating the kind of b2b sets that everyone wants to see (for example, the sadly-cancelled-due-to-Covid Angel D'Lite b2b Local Group). Third Place is quickly becoming known as a destination for considered electronic sounds: it recently put out Sangre Voss's 'Expressions of a Mind in Slumber 2017​-​19', an intriguing project that saw him piecing together fragments of his sleep-talking over ambient, experimental sonics (and came out on a pillow-shaped USB stick). Will's own productions are gold standard too: think wonky, off-kilter beats with nods to rave culture and a smattering of breaks. He debuted on New York's HOMAGE Records with 'Who Wants To Be A Willionaire?' which enjoyed a Desert Sound Colony remix on the flip. Support for his tracks has come from Bradley Zero, OK Williams and Moxie, and Ben UFO spun his 'Where Did All The Hay Go?' during his Club Quarantäne session, the duck quacks and farmyard animals he threw into the track sending listeners into a frenzy. His Dummy Mix is a reflection of his broad tastes, with Colombian mysticism sitting alongside wonky 2-step, psychedelic house, twinkly textures, a slamming Breaka tune as well as two of his own productions. "I put this mix together in the basement of my house, and (after a few takes) mashed a few tracks I thought sounded okay together!" he says, "Including some shameless self-promotion of some of the tracks from my latest release, some recent Bandcamp buys, and all-time faves." Strap in below.
