"Ella Blou is a DJ seeking the worlds we find only in dreams. Non-spaces, non-objects, and dereality preoccupy her imagination, but it isn't enough to be simply far from home. The visions and feelings in Ella's beckoning mixes are that of the impossibly familiar.

DRAT BROADCAST is created with love from fond memories of places we've never been, dear relationships with people who don't exist. It is a cryptic, playful challenge to the bizarre gloom that nostalgia so sweetly evokes. Explore your new hometown, face the strange. Dream while waking."

In early 2021 I had the pleasure of compiling and mixing a soundtrack for the online launch of Drat Magazine. Holding a deep affinity with the themes and semantics behind Esmeralda’s vision for the publication, I felt compelled to capture the essence of the digital escapism we grew up on. 

Honing in on the ambient, orchestral movements of god-player-mode PC gaming soundtracks that evoke the 3D rendered spaces and simulations of what modern suburban civilisation should look like, whilst later delving into the melancholy, bratty, ethereal, raw, emotional reality of a bygone youth. Featuring music from near and far, friends, enigmas, and heroes, here is a highly considered jumble of audio vistas.

Juanita's Mix 001 with J. Albert @jiovanni-nadal

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I like to consider myself an artist, who produces and DJs.

Q. How long have you been involved in the NY music scene?
A. I’ve been a part of the scene for almost 5 years.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I just wanted to make a mix of really sonically pleasant songs. I definitely would say this mix took a bit of research to put together.

Juanita's Mix 001: J. Albert

It's up to Violet to step up to the plate for our final podcast of the year. The Lisbon-based artist, honcho of the naive & naivety labels, co-founder of Rádio Quântica ánd co-organizer of a queer event series called mina is one the main faces of Lisbon's exciting and blooming underground music scene.

Her mix is a textbook example of elegant and controlled chaos, going from electro to bass to rave, leaving us on a high tension for 60 minutes. We couldn't close the year any better if you'd ask us.
