Summer is here! And the winds are warm :) We have the perfect June match with this month's mix by Nancy Kim (@niteplant) and Erin Keeffe (@perlin_noise). Nancy (the first half of the mix) is by trade an architect, designer, and apparel mastermind; Erin (the second half of the mix) is a photographer, designer, and co-founder of Acid Camp. Together, I call them my rave parents (and many of you do), as they help usher in new talent across techno and make space for newcomers from Taiwan to New York.

L'Art

We paired Nancy and Erin's mix with an infamous detail of a poster by artist Jeremy Deller. The yellow smiley face—eponymous of the acid house genre—has the words "Do you remember the First time?" with the "First" and "time" replacing the eyes of the face echos the moments Nancy and Erin highlight in their interview. The first time—which could mean the first time on a dance floor, the first time listening to music, or something totally different—is a method we've also been using on Moods to discover each other's paths and directions. "How did we get here?" has really become the question we've been answering here. And I want to thank y'all again for sticking it with me here, and for the future. We're archiving together <3
