Balamii Radio January 2021

Because of our weekly 2-hour radio show, making and releasing mixes is something we don't get around to often. They tend to require too much energy and often end up feeling ephemeral, a drop in a bucket that's already full to the brim.

This 5.5 hour mix is a live recording from us, Paul Raffaele & Barbie Bertisch, DJing at 718 Sessions on Sunday November 21, 2021, a gig we recently played that meant a lot to us. Benny Soto and Danny Krivit will celebrate their 19th anniversary next week and the party has long served as a beacon of light in our world: a place to learn, be with chosen family, release the pressure and experience joy.

This lineup was originally booked for March 22, 2020 but it was cancelled due to COVID. Luckily, the same lineup was revived for the party's return to indoor dancing, taking place at Good Room in Brooklyn. This night was particularly special because it was the first time we would play 718 Sessions, our favorite party, as a duo.

In a pivot from what one might expect from our sets, we made a conscious effort not to play any Garage or Loft classics to widen the musical offering of the party and avoid overlap with Danny in the main room. Some mixes are great, some aren't, but in a bit of a protest to today's world digital perfection, we've kept it all in there and serves as a record for one of our favorite nights DJing together ever.

We recorded line in from the mixer but also the sounds of the room, blending music and crowd together and resulting in what you'll hear throughout the mix. It's an effort to capture some of the room's energy and not just a collection of songs one after the other.

Our style is representative of an amalgamation of the DJs we grew up listening to and studying, most intensely: Joaquin 'Joe' Claussell, François Kevorkian, Danny Krivit, Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, Louie Vega, Dope Jams, Theo Parrish, but there are many more. Thank you for the inspiration.

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix was directly inspired by a warehouse party i played recently in Brooklyn with Eli [Escobar] called 'Relativity' hosted by The Electrik Company. (We didn't record, but my track history was saved and i went back into the studio a few days later to recreate the magic once more for XOXA.) I got to play an extended set for a packed house that night and the energy literally was electric! It was awesome to have that back n forth with the crowd throughout. I crept up through some really seductive downtempo Techno and House at the beginning, up to harder and more hypnotic joints that i had a lot of fun layering and fkin around with, and then came in with a Disco curve ball at the end to re-energize the room and reset for Eli comin on after me. I really like to ride blends for a long time and make two records sing together - to the point where you don't know where one ends and the next begins. Making different tracks have conversations with one another is always something i like to explore during my sets no matter where or when i'm playing. I imagine each record as a fully formed being with their own defined personalities - how would they get into it with each other if they were to meet at a party? Would they fall in love? Heatedly argue with each other? Would it be a sparring of intellect over a hot topic? I wish I could see the looks on your faces when you listen to this and hear the resulting chorus of every record i played. Njoy <3"

SEEPS hails from the Bronx, NY and has always been obsessed with dancing, dance music and its culture. She is a true Nuyorican; which heavily influenced her taste in music and her penchant for becoming the veracious record collector she is. She would videotape every dance show and all the music videos, so that she could emulate each and every move contained within. “It would be extremely hard to be a DJ and not incorporate dance into everything I do because it’s everything”.


“I am obsessed with the New York Underground House Sound and movement of thelate eighties and early nineties; my first loves were Masters At Work, Pal Joey, Two Without Hats and Deee-Lite. You can’t be from NYC and not love Kenny and Louie,right? I have an insanely large number of members in my family. They have had a big influence on me and always wanted me to listen to “that record” they loved so much. I carried that inspiration of their crazy basement parties with me and mixed it into everything I am; music, dance, fashion, and eventually DJing and production”.

During the pandemic SEEPS capitalized on the opportunity to showcase her skills
through streaming regularly on multiple platforms. Her endless energy, deep crates and ability to blend vinyl and digital mediums earned her praise and recognition from her heroes; Jellybean Benitez, Louie Vega and DJ Sneak.

SEEPS has lived in the Los Angeles area for the last several years and plays out
regularly. Find her in Los Angeles playing with heavy locals DJ Sneak, Spiñorita and Aaron Paar, or escaping back home to NYC or her favorite city Madrid. 

She recently made her debut at Dante’s Hi-Fi Miami and continues to love traveling most. You can expect an EP release from SEEPS by the end of this year. In the meantime, catch her weekly radio show I’llGoRhythm, Wednesdays at 8PM PST on Mix93FM Los Angeles and worldwide on Mix93FM.com.

Special Chicago House and Classics Dj Deep Radio FG 18112001

New York’s house and disco evangelist Eli Escobar has been a familiar face on the city’s scene for the last two decades. Whether tearing it up at clubs across the capital (and beyond) or throwing down super-charged disco bombs on labels like Nervous, Strictly Rhythm, & Classic, Escobar rarely steps out of his four-four beat. As one third of the Tiki Disco parties in Bushwick, as well as running his own Night People label, Escobar has been putting his own twist on the city’s house and disco soundtrack, joining the dots between yesterday’s golden era classics and today’s club anthems.
