RE/FORM Spring 2024 - Los Angeles - Tease/Homework

I've uploaded the live recording of my dj set at Monument Festival 2022 in Norway. It was a pleasure playing there, loved the warm and welcoming vibes of the festival & visitors and was in awe of the beautiful nature of Norway ⛰🌲🌿🍀. Thank you! Hope you’ll enjoy this mix ❤️

Sandrien @ Monument Festival 2022 Norway

Next up we have a mix from one of LA's brightest DJ community members, Max Ellington (@berrmax). Max is an LA-based DJ with roots in Ann Arbor, MI. Through his VPN Radio show, Surrealchemistry, he has embarked on a mission to explore the power of deep and psychadelic dance music. He's also a resident DJ at the New Palm event series. Some words from Max about the mix: 

"I used this mix as an assignment to break out of a lower tempo zone I've been vibing on lately and grab some faster + most importantly weirder records from the shelf. I tried to find a balance between speed and intensity--moves to higher tempos eventually accompanied by pillowy synths and dubby basslines.. the feeling of accelerating towards a soft landing!"

Ending 2023 with a very special mix from FAW resident, Carré (@carreo). This was recorded live last month in San Francisco for @clubmoniker at Underground SF.

A message from Carré:
"Someone at the party described my set as 'really high energy, intricate rhythms, & fun tangents' and I truly think that's the best way to sum it up. When listened to this recording I could hear just how locked in I was, and I'm so happy that was captured. Grateful to Club Moniker for bringing me to play SF for the first time, they're the best. P.S. there's a couple IDs from me in there :) "

Kicking off 2024 with a mix from Los Angeles based DJ / producer John Bryars (@johnbryars). John is recognized for his broad taste and eclectic style, known for pushing boundaries in the pursuit of euphoric, auditory bliss. 

A note from John:
"I'm excited to share this journey, which includes some unreleased tracks off a collaboration EP from myself and Sevyn, coming soon on AL GHARIB (@alllgharibbb). There's also a forthcoming Schacke (@schacke) remix of 'Devotion' by Pilo (@pilo_zkulptor) and myself, coming out on Boysnoize Records."

Next up we have a proper journey of a mix from NYC-based DJ Reid Golden. Inspired by sci-fi soundscapes and world-building, his DJ sets take you on an intentional ride. While he gravitates towards electro and other psychedelic sounds, he makes it known that all genres are fair game. Formerly of Denver's staple party crew Send/Receive, he now resides in New York City as a devoted patron of the metropolis' chugging club scene.

A quote from Reid about the mix:
"this mix is a pseudo slow burn – a BPM rotary of '90s hip hop, psy-tech, jungle, ambient and more"

Introducing Dreamrdreamr to the FAST_CAST universe! With a variety of releases under her belt @dreamrdreamr productions showcase a fusion of early melodic rave and with her own personal nostalgic memories of sound. On the dancefloor, Dreamrdreamr will play with sound in a unique way to create mesmerising blends of genres from House, Breaks, Techno, and Jungle with undertones of dreamlike states and euphoria.

A note from Dreamrdreamr about this stellar mix:
"Keeping in mind the labels ethos of fast not hard I have chosen to move uptempo in the 140-160 range. I have tapped into some of my favourite tracks that I have been listening too recently plus some forthcoming and new selects. Starting on some fiery breaks and bass and transitioning through to some blissful and thought provoking jungle blends, the mix sits in the in-between space of emotions."

Next up on FAST_CAST we bring you NENE H (@nenetreat) – enjoy two hours of Nene H's incredible set at Fast At Work. This was recorded live on May 3 2024 at Venue MOT in London. 

Berlin-based Turkish-born DJ NENE H has become a powerhouse of Berlin's evolving underground identity–blazing a trail for SWANA, Muslim, queer, and female representation. Whether she's sprinkling trap into a peak-time techno set, or obliterating Berghain in her bridal gown–just when you think you've boxed Beste in, she throws you a curveball that hits you square in the face.

For our eighth episode, we are excited to feature one of a kind selector and Anemone co-organizer, Max Ellington. Max performed a special closing set in the early morning hours at our augural Anemone party, and will be back for a frenetic and dynamic B2B2B at our upcoming gathering in collaboration with the Acid Camp family on 10/26. 

A note on the mix:

"This mix envisions a dancefloor suspended in the open ocean, bobbing and rolling with the massive surface waves above and lit by dappled sunbeams reflecting off of enormous, swirling schools of fish like a living disco ball, the light and motion interrupted periodically by the slow, looming silhouettes of whales and manta rays. Searching for the perfect beat with vast, endless blue in all directions."    -Max
