To celebrate the release of her album Quivering In Time, Eris Drew presents a 2hour club ready excursion taking in 32 tracks of influences, dancefloor go to's and several cuts from her own aforementioned full length. Get ready to sweat.

"My DJ mix for Bleep is over 2 hours and includes a lot of music from the test press of my new album, “Quivering in Time” mixed alongside records from my collection. The mix is equal parts soft and propulsive with each track blended, dropped, collaged and scratched for maximum resonance with the Motherbeat. Rollers from many genres are on the mix, including house, breaks, progressive, trip hop, techno, bass, dubstep, etc etc."

Bleep Mix #212 - Eris Drew

Next up in our quest to ascertain musical majesty, we bring you Parasol Culture bossman @thomabulwer. “Raised in Techno, schooled in UKG, cemented in House” - one hell of a sound bite and the keys to the foundation of being a frontline selector. Naturally Thoma’s mix shifts between garage-aligned tech house, hypnotic tripped-out rhythms and straight-up 4x4 rudeness. We simply adore the weirdness and we don’t care who knows.

Firstly, a bit about the man. Regularly observed within his natural habitat at the Lion & Lamb, Thoma has become suitably accustomed to featuring on lineups alongside the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Burnski and Voigtmann to name but a select few. Aside from the residency, he has frequented respected venues such as The Cause and the world-famous Fabric. This man is no stranger to controlling a dance floor and relaying his vision via succinct sonic debauchery.

When he’s not playing to an enraptured crowd, he can be found in his bespoke studio crafting musical treats, the likes of which have featured on labels like Seven Hills, Alternate Facts and of course his own label Parasol Culture which just so happens to have dropped a limited run of dubplates only yesterday. Happy accident? Yes, no and maybe.

This mix is guaranteed to get you moving no matter where you are on this ludicrous hellscape we call Earth. Now off you go to drink, be merry and make the most of today.

Russell E.L. Butler at Lente Kabinet Festival 2022

Russell Ellington Langston Butler (they/them) is a Black artist from Bermuda, living and working in New York City. Russell has painstakingly cultivated a unique artistic expression that integrates and investigates themes around process, technological innovation, the archive, and decolonization. Their works have taken the form of vinyl records, digital audio releases, live A/V performances, and special archiving projects. 

In 2022, Russell has kept a busy schedule. Remixing artists like Scott Avery and Joakim, touring internationally, and holding it down on many dancefloors in NYC. Russell recently released a new process oriented work called Three Things Minus One and has been playing live gigs again.

Notes on the Mix ///
"I’ve had a lot on my mind this summer as I’ve adjusted to an intense tour schedule. This is my job now and I am super grateful for the opportunity to travel and share music. This heightened intensity has made it hard to take a moment to breathe, so I’m working on that. This mix isn’t entirely focused on that though. I made this mix while thinking about all of my friends medically transitioning at the moment. There is no explicitly trans messaging in this mix, or even trans artists (to my knowledge), but I made it while holding space for my friends starting to bind, starting HRT, fundraising for Top surgery, growing and expanding their consciousness whilst reconciling with and embracing their bodily autonomy. So this one is a kind of dedication to them and my love for them and my hope that these sounds give them some space, just for them."

I heal myself weekly with the music I play. I listen deeply to the words buried within; the intention behind the lyrics either peppered-in or chorused. So much of the house music I connect with is rooted in love. It’s rooted in desire and hope. It’s rooted in narrative, “Do you want to trip with me?”, “I’ll outstretch my hand”, “I won’t forget about you, you won’t forget about me, we won’t forget about love vibrations!”. I listen to the messages to remind myself what I need and why I continue to move forward.

Vol.2 is represented in two mixing styles; long-melded blends (Trippin’ On Love) and fast, tight radio-style cut mixes with overdubs (Slammin’ With Love). Both convey the deep need for connection to one’s body and to others. It’s this connection energy that I find so powerful about house music’s healing magic.

RA Live - 2019.21.04 - Carista b2b Elias Mazian, DGTL Amsterdam

For Eris’s mixtape “Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1”, she uses old records to create a new style out of fragments. Many of the selections have been featured heavily in her live DJ sets, including her b2b sets with Octo Octa. Eris accumulated these records slowly, over decades, but it wasn’t until touring last year that she realized a “sound” coalesced in her bag. What does a rave at the disco sound like? Kinda like everyone took ecstasy at the roller rink. On her ecstatic mix, Eris colleges together a genre by scratching-in breaks with horn samples, mixing Disco House with broken beats, dropping Miami Bass jams with Boogie keys and blending Rave tunes with disco vocals. On the mix Eris utilizes turntable techniques such as “doubles” tricks and “hot mixing”—a fast-paced mixing style inspired by her beloved B96 Mixmasters, Chicago’s most popular 1990’s radio DJs. Like all of Eris’s mixes, she weaves strong narratives of embodiment, defiance, cultural transcendence and personal triumph (a classic disco emotion) into a flow of body rockin’ beats, scratches, drops, and sweet melodies. The result is a bass heavy summertime house mix for the psychedelic bad girls, boys and enbys. 

A limited run of Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 cassettes are available now exclusively from the label’s Bandcamp - http://t4tluvnrg.bandcamp.com

 The recording can be streamed on the T4T LUV NRG SoundCloud for free and hi-resolution versions are available for download on the label’s Bandcamp (donation requested). All profits  from Eris’s mix will be donated to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence.

Eris Drew is one of those artists who seemed to blow up over night, but who had actually been hard at work for decades. A long-time residency at Chicago's Smart Bar brought her to international attention, and her own Motherbeat parties at various places around Europe furthered that reputation. It is there that she manages to cook up pure, unadulterated dance floor love and euphoria with hi-energy selections and a unifying sense of oneness that is put together with her own so called “orchestration” mixing techniques. An inquisitive musician and innovative recording artist, she has also just put out her debut solo EP on Interdimensional Transmissions and runs T4T LUV NRG with partner Octo Octa. 

This week's mix is all of the above and more: a throbbing, impulsive and full bodied experience that serves up the most bumping house grooves but run through with the warm ambient glow of a post-rave comedown. The music feels at classic but also thoroughly contemporary: it will make you pump your fist in sheer joy, but also sends warm waves of euphoria through your body. This is the sound of the Motherbeat.

Eris on her mix:
"In a recent interview for DJ Mag I talk about my connection to the song “Secrets of Mediation” by Dutch producers Alex Dijksterhuis (Jamez) & Gaston Steenkist (Dobre). At Chicago raves in 1994 and 1995, this track revealed to me that modern dance music contains archaic ritual elements such as trance-inducing resonances, penetrating sacred drums, and language transformed into glossolalia. My DJ mix for Dekmantel is inspired by my formative dance experiences and by the intense extended sets I play at psychedelic raves such as Motherbeat and No Way Back. The mix includes bass music, progressive, breaks, house, techno, and minimal, all of which I collage, drop and scratch to put us into a tunneling trance."
