Selene's 30 Minute Micro Techno Tsunami

Études Mix N°62 by rRoxymore @rroxymore
Curated by Aimée @am-agency

A few words from the artist: 

1/ How would you describe your relationship with music and its influence on your creative process?  
Music is an essential part of my daily life and an "emotional" vector, as it is for many people. It has a significant spiritual dimension.  
It's also the medium most in tune with my form of artistic expression, whether for writing and producing tracks and sound pieces, or as a DJ/selector. 
 
2/ As an artist, how do you see the intersection between fashion and music?
Music and fashion have always had a symbiotic relationship, much like fashion's deep connection with subcultures. 
As we've seen since the 60s, if you listen to a particular genre of music, chances are you'll find yourself drawn to a corresponding fashion identity. 
You can see it in New Wave Goths, Ska fans, Rap or Ravers, among others. Many prominent figures in Pop Music have harnessed fashion to assert their creative vision. Bowie is the first to come to mind, but we can also see in the relationship between the Sex Pistols and Vivienne Westwood or Björk and Alexander McQueen. 
 
3/ What particularly interested you in collaborating with Études on this mix?  
First of all, I was very flattered to have been invited to take part in the series, as Études is a brand I've been following for several years, and I found it interesting to do a mix in reflection of the latest collection.  
  
4/ How did you come up with this musical sequence/soundtrack?  
I attended the show and wanted to do something a bit more urban and darker than I'm used to playing while maintaining an enigmatic and psychedelic essence—qualities that define my signature sound. 
  
5/ Three words to define your Études mix?  
SLOW BURNER ... Damn, that's just two ;)

rRoxymore Mix N°62

X-Press 2 are DJ Diesel and DJ Rocky. They need little introduction to be frank.

Two pioneers of UK House music who released some of the most influential records of the 90’s and 2000’s when Dance music might have been at its very biggest and frankly coolest. A lot of the music they released back then has stood the test of time – whether it be singalong classics like ‘Lazy’ featuring the voice of David Byrne or a classic Junior Boy’s Own Cut like ‘The Sound’. Their music still bangs loudly in clubs all over the world to this very day and in all honesty they remain two of the most interesting and committed to House music in the game.

All of this made it even more exciting when we were sent over a copy of their firth album upcoming on Acid Jazz. The pair describe the forthcoming record:

“We’re so excited to be releasing ‘Thee’ with Acid Jazz. It’s been a long time coming, and some of the tracks have been with us for around ten years now. So it’s fantastic to finally get them finished and pulled together with a bunch of new tunes to form an entirely new album.”

The new album is a testament to their ability to adapt and weave their sound into new interpretations of style and genre. The record is a playful collection of floor fillers and grooves which are highly addictive. Reminiscent of some of the greatest X-Press moments.

This mix shows us that they remain just as classy as ever.

X-Press 2: The Ransom Note Mix

New York party Merge is often described as a queer techno extravaganza. Over the past two years, it's built a loyal community from the ground up while integrating everything from high-energy trance to disorienting acid into its rave repertoire. Resident Clarisa Kimskii has played a defining role in the collective's growth, largely thanks to the ultra-kinetic and rhythmic pace of her DJ sets.

Time and time again, the Washington DC native has demonstrated her ability to lock in dancers through captivating and hypnotic selections across various sub-styles of techno. There are tribal, witchy cuts. Jacking, Detroit-style funk. Psychedelic, DJ Nobu-style grooves and austere sounds that nod to Sandwell District. It's the kind of range that explains why Kimskii has been booked worldwide many years over, and more and more as of late. Her deep understanding of techno's myriad flavours come from two decades of industry experience as well as esoteric productions on labels like Mysteries Of The Deep and L.A.G. (her own short-lived, underrated, essential techno platform).

Kimskii's long time in the techno scene, her experience and her expertise is expressed in full form on her RA Podcast Moving from industrial grit to gentle transcendence to heady acid, the mix feels free, fluid but also remarkably precise, just like Kimskii herself.

Born and raised in Queens, a city dweller and a club kid, https://soundcloud.com/kilopatrah- has an innate and superlative gift for transferring energy from the booth to the dance floor—through exciting house, techno, and jungle, and moments that both harken to Sound Factory–era glory days and bring you to sweaty BPMs of the future.

About her favorite track in the mix:
“The track I wish to hi-light  would be “Time For Love (David Morales Club Mix)” By Kim English. For this mix I wanted to focus on diva energy and Kim English is the perfect example  This track reminds me of my travels in djing this summer and the people I’ve met but we share a common deep love and appreciation for house music. It calls as a reminder that music is the common denominator and thru this love, anything is possible :) “
