Bienvenida TraTraTrax Sound Sistema, the joint alias of TraTraTrax co-founders Verraco, Nyksan and DJ Lomalinda.

As founders of the Colombian imprint, the trio have led a wave of experimentation and innovation in the global club underground, platforming the hybrid electronic sounds of Latin America while also pushing UK-born genres such as dubstep and garage into new sonic territories. Running alongside our November issue cover story, written by Rachel Grace Almeida, this cover mix is a deep, near-three hour rhythmic odyssey through destabilising techno, murky bass music, guaracha, dubstep and much more. There may even be some never-before-heard forthcoming TraTraTrax releases thrown into the fold – listen closely.

Issue 149 Cover Mix: TraTraTrax Sound Sistema (Verraco, DJ Lomalinda & Nyksan)

If Bitter Babe was a perfume, her scent would be animalic—heavy musk, bergamot, worn leather and burnt spices. The Bogotá-born, Miami-bred and now Berlin-based artist has a heady, ultra-rhythmic sound that feels made for sweltering summer nights and feral fantasies. Combining pan-Latin styles with hard drum and industrial touches, she's crafted a singular mood that defines her DJing and production: hazy, high-energy and sensual.

Bitter Babe's ascent on the international circuit has been tied to her role in Miami's electronic renaissance. Whether it's proto-reggaeton, dense ambient or guaracha, her sets and productions are characterised by evocative low-end, darting synths and distorted frequencies that exude drama. With releases on TraTraTrax, Air Texture and SVBKVLT, she's cemented her position as an experimentalist, leaving the door open for more deconstruction and abstraction.

As cofounder of multidisciplinary project LATITUDES, Bitter Babe seeks to unify Latin America's electronic music communities. Her mixes are a great source for discovering under-the-radar acts from Peru, Brazil and beyond, some of whom are featured on her RA podcast. Starting with subby downtempo before moving onto swampy baile funk, technoid mutations of dembow and cheeky UKG, it showcases her expertise for trippy yet deeply kinetic grooves.

"When I wake up, I'm very picky about the music I want to listen to. I wanted to record a mix that would sound great for a morning coffee, but also to help me to start the day. It’s new and old club music, soft melodies for your morning, motivational rhythms, and heavy frequencies to end the journey. It's a day in my life, with the moods I go through, condensed into one hour." - @mil3-3ri-vs

The Mix is our new online mix and interview series, dedicated to the spectrum of electronic music from around the globe, exploring sounds and stories from the early days of rave to the future.

Mixmag has a long history of publishing mixes, from our legendary cover CDs accompanying the print magazine to our worldwide video streams in The Lab. Last year we celebrated 40 years in the game and The Mix now arrives as a fresh outlet to document DJs and the musical movements they represent, showcasing their sound alongside an in-depth interview. The design pays homage to a previous Mixmag logo from the ealy ’90s, nodding to our heritage while using the square and rectangular building blocks to construct an aesthetic that works cohesively with contemporary design elements and digital motion systems.

We’ll still be bringing you the Cover Mix, The Lab and occasional sets in other formats, with The Mix is taking the place of our In Session and Impact features, intending to bring an updated look and vision to our flagship weekly DJ profile and sequencing them into one place, without separation. We hope you enjoy.

Jay Carder B2B Small Crab - 08 April 2024

Nick León (@NICKLEON) is an artful DJ and producer from Miami who has always operated at the experimental fringes of electronic music. Though he has always pushed at the boundaries he never fully loses sight of the dance floor while colliding reggaeton, techno, ambient, dubstep and hip-hop. He is a frequent collaborator and something of an album specialist who most recently took inspiration from Florida’s diverse sub-aquatic ecosystems on his superb Projections of a Coral City album alongside Coral Morphologic.

Nick will be joining us at Dekmantel Festival 2024 and this week's mix is a great way to keep you going until then. It's an hour of loose-limbed and largely genre-less rhythm with a naturalistic feel. There's a blend of filtered and futuristic voices and centuries-old dancing rituals that take you to the heart of an ancient rainforest, all with his signature Latin flavours and an undercurrent dembow-laced beats.

Dekmantel Podcast 467 - Nick León

A focused low-end workout from Small Crab who sets her sights on experimenting with tracks around 80pm, playing with different textures and rhythms, going fast and slow. 

Based in Dublin, Small Crab is a DJ, producer and founding member of the Skin & Blister collective - a platform that aims to nurture and support female identifying, trans and non-binary creatives. With releases on Early Reflex, Left, Right & Centre, Intercept and Paryìa to name a few, Small Crab's productions leans more into the percussive and breaksy realm of bass music - sounds of which you can find in the accompanying mix here. 

In the below interview, we chat with Small Crab about her early introductions to music, what her production journey has been like so far, what she loves about the scene in Dublin and her approach to podcast 191.

Untitled 909 Podcast 191: Small Crab

As a producer and DJ, TSVI is in the form of his life—which you can't always say for an artist a decade in. He's been an enduring presence through several underground cycles for a reason: the man knows how to flow.

TSVI's RA Podcast features a solid number of new and forthcoming cuts from the current vanguard pushing club music forward, amongst them Verraco, Surusinghe, DJ Plead, Doctor Jeep, DJ JM, WOST and Dj Babatr—who just dropped a split 12" with TSVI on TraTraTrax last month.

Alongside the names you might expect, TSVI also leans into a streak of personal history. On RA.944 you'll hear fast, deep and percussive '90s and '00s cuts from Spain, Latin America and his native Italy, with a particular focus on the kind of playful progressive trance minted by the late, great Franchino. It makes for a truly dynamite mix.

Influences: It’s all about the drums! I’m drawn to percussion and deep drum sounds that create a visceral impact. <3

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: I’m involved with Skin&Blister, a Dublin-based collective dedicated to empowering FLINTA creatives in Ireland through workshops, parties, and various initiatives.

Favorite Quote: "Sometimes the most profound ideas come from letting go of the need to control the outcome." - Rick Ruben 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Follow your instincts! When it comes to choosing music, releasing tracks, or making decisions, focus on what feels right to you and brings you joy. Prioritize your own satisfaction over how others might perceive it. Stay open-minded and explore a wide range of music—there’s no need to confine yourself to one genre or style.

About the mix: I wanted to craft an uplifting, high-energy dance mix that excites and energizes! Drawing influences from bass, reggaeton, dubstep, Afro-house, and techno, it maintains a vibrant pulse throughout. While it occasionally ventures into darker, dubstep-influenced territory, I see the percussive elements as the driving force and centerpiece of this mix.
