For extended Q&A please visit our website ~~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~~~~

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?
he/him. Currently in Glasgow, Scotland. 

All of my fingers are double jointed

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Spending time with friends and my partner,Linn Park crematorium, the atlantic ocean,sunrises, sunsets, watching films. At the time of writing this I have just returned from Drop Everything festival in Ireland and am feeling creatively charged after that too. 


If you had to trade your USB with one DJ, who would it be and why?

Byron Yeates- we have been friends and playing together for 10 years and I am constantly in awe of their depth and skill! Love you B! 

How do you typically prepare a mix?

Depends, if I’m tight for time finding a bunch of stuff that goes together from my collection already, if it’s for a bigger project I usually write down some stuff about the vibe and try and base my mix off a couple of important tracks in it. I’ll usually try out a few drafts and listen and see what it does or doesn’t need, digging digging digging digging as I’m getting it together.

How do you avoid burnout? 

Saying no, listening to the birds and napping. 

Who do you think is the most underrated artist of our time?

Hard to say in this internet bubble time but deejay wise probably Cáit and Angel D’Lite (there are many other mix masters I admire getting due credit which is great to see too). 



What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Not quite where I reside but Radiant Love is my favourite party. I have had my most life-affirming club experiences there and they have set the benchmark for how to run an event. The music, the people, the ethos, the space, the sound… it’s a real privilege to be able to contribute even if it’s in a very small capacity. Shout out to DIP and Gash Collective in Ireland and Shoot Your Shot in Glasgow too; High Hoops in Manchester doing great things as well.  


What was your best moment at the supermarket?

Morrisons reduced section on a regular basis- I fuck so hard with 13p bags of herbs

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

https://soundcloud.com/spielraum-amsterdam/byron-yeates-at-spielraum-april-17th-2022 

B has so many shades to their sound and it’s a delight hearing the tougher end of it. Recorded live no less! Big shout out to Cáit and Angel D’Lite’s contributions to the Hue & Saturation series too.  

Dream DJ gig?

Closing Radiant Love, Berghain or Nowadays; playing to all of my friends on a dancefloor at once with a huge sound system- doesn’t matter where or when, this would be enough.

Any advice to upcoming DJs? 

Don’t sweat mixing, find music that you LOVE, don’t pay attention to others and figure out what it is you like about the music you play and follow your ears x

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Wider discussions about what a truly safe space means, accountability,accessibility, diversity, privilege and gatekeeping. I feel like it’s actually more harmful to say a safe is space when proper measures aren’t being taken. 

I had a horrific experience of being needle spiked in an otherwise safe queer space recently so I would like to see more safeguarding measures against this happening in clubs (I plan to expand about this a bit more publicly somewhere soon). Fuck all of the predatory men out there. 

Collective and communal action targeting white supremacy, the patriarchy and abusers having any sort of power in dance music and wider society as a whole. I dream of dance floor utopia. 

I would really really like to see less phones in DJ booths and on dancefloors too and a big move away from the social media focus. 

Also more focus on communities building homegrown scenes and not relying on international bookings for anything. More resident DJs.

Origins Tapes 073 - Marie Malarie

SOLACE SPACE 007 ✼ @asatatemusic (@tech-supportuk)

A mix that has been coming for nearly a year, London based DJ and producer Asa Tate steps up to provide a stunning power hour of house, prog & 90s tech house. Commonly known under his Tech Support moniker, Asa Tate explores faster, more grooving sounds than his usual downtempo Italo style. 

"Recorded back in July in the midst of that blistering heatwave I figured I'd put together some bits and pieces that had been getting rinsed on the sticks at my sets, leaning heavily into the more up tempo high energy side of house and techno. Old and new, all killer no filler."

SWOON is a berlin-based party & mix series,  releasing new sounds with every full moon 🌀

~the earth bulges slightly, in flux with the moon as she waxes and wanes, flirting with the tides. the moon pulls strongly on her waters, as the earth spins around dancing for her daily, and the bulges undulate across her surface. is it high tide, or are you just happy to see me? immerse yourself in these warm waters, seep into the deep and let the currents wash over you... 🦪💕~
