Mix number 4 comes to us from Brooklyn based DJ and artist Laila Amira. Laila is a very common face behind the decks all over the city - powering the groovy sounds for club parties almost every week. She is an experienced veteran professional DJ, and we are happy to have her on the series!

Laila Amira is a BK-based DJ who loves to create genre-fluid electronic mixes, drawing upon her love for disco, house, techno, and electro music. Moved by the tracks she has heard across NYC nightlife, she hopes to curate a world through music where people can escape their realities. The connections and feeling of elation Laila has experienced on the dancefloor constantly inspires her to create the same for her listeners.

Get to know the artist -
What is your artist name and where are you from?
Laila Amira, Currently based in brooklyn new york

Can you tell me a little about this mix?
I love to use mixes to explore genres and sounds that I don't normally play in the club. This one has a strong play between lighter vocals/atmospheric breaks and synths/acid/deep house.



What are you working on now that you are most excited about?
I'm at a very transitional point in my life- I just turned 25 this year and I'm taking a step away from things to recalibrate as a whole. I am really excited for the future during this period of self-refelction and rediscovery of myself. I definitely want to focus more on my dj-ing as a whole, and I have a dj partner who I run a radio show with called Made In The Club- I'd love to invest more of myself in that and see what can become of it.



Any hobbies outside of music?
I wish I could say I have more hobbies than just music, but between music and work, my hobbies are truly just reading and spending as much time with the people I love. I always say I know the best people in the world and they've given me so much endless support, comfort, and acceptance that of course I will dedicate any free moments I have to them!


Where can we see you perform next?
This wednesday at Cafe Kitsune, and this Thursday Oct 19th at Mood Ring, and Nov 16 at SILO in Brooklyn,  New York.

Mix 004 - Laila Amira

Mix 005 is brought to us by French Dju:n! She is a seasoned selector and label boss. Learn about her in our interview below:

Dju:n does her first steps as a DJ in 2019 and get noticed because of the numerous music genres she plays. She began mostly with Post-Rock, EBM and Electro then bit by bit added other styles like Ghetto Techno, Breakbeat and Jungle.

In this profusion of tracks, she focuses on those most galvanizing ones and finds unusual ways to mixing vibes we intuitively and falsely would consider too different to fit.

What is your artist name and where are you based out of?
Dju:n, currently based in Brest, France

Can you tell us a little about this mix?
This mix is a nod to my label Purple Records, which promotes breakbeat, jungle and techno aesthetics. I really like this mix, because I was able to really explore my breaks side!

What are you working on now that you are most excited about?
I created a project called Purple Universe, with two friends Swooh and Poppie, which is a booking agency and a label. It takes up all my time, and I want to develop it as much as possible. It's a project of a lifetime, and it's important for me to make a living from my passion and work with people who are important to me.

Any hobbies outside of music?
Alongside this project, I organize parties with my other association WestSound and work for other structures in the same field. My whole life revolves around music. The rest of my time is spent with my friends, and I love going out!

Where can we see you perform next?
The oct 31h, for Halloween, I play with Olympe 4000 and Cuften at La Suite club (Brest) and the nov 11th at Decadanse (Nantes)

What is your artist name and where are you currently from?
Sobolik ~ Brooklyn, NY

Tell me about this mix?
This mix was culled from a recent practice recording, in preparation for my opening set at the next Antidote party on 12/17. Antidote is a collective started by Alyce aka Lychee, of likeminded friends and dance music practitioners: DJs Lychee, T.Wan, Sobolik, and Nutrition Facts, lighting designer Glimmer, and yoga instructor Yaya. We hold this party a few times a year in a private arts space, and it's very special to us as an opportunity to make something specifically for our favorite queer people to dance with. It's off the beaten club circuit path and aims to fully prioritize our collective values, musically, culturally, socially, and otherwise.

i'm looking forward to opening the party following Yaya's yoga session, for the chance to keep improving my slow burn mode and play more music with complex textural and emotional palettes. deep style 😶‍🌫️

What are you working on now that you are most excited about?
So much new music is in the works :) I'm looking at dropping at least three new EPs next year, possibly more, among other singles and one-off projects. I'm not gonna spill any deets yet, but stay tuned <3

Any hobbies outside of music?
No 🫡 tragic lol

Where can we see you perform next?
At Antidote on 12/17 :) check out the event link if you know where to look...
On the Lot Radio for Kindergarten's monthly residency...

and then tbh probably not anywhere else for a good while...

whats your name and where do you rep

Hi I’m Alp, DJ name Alpaca 🦙
Born in Brooklyn, raised overseas and now I’m back full circle living in Brooklyn, NY. I will say there is no other place I’d rather be.

Tell me about this mix

I’m strongly influenced by House, New York and Chicago House to be specific. Knowing the history of the genre you mix is crucial. So I try to pay homage to that genre and style as much as I can.

What are you working on now that u are most excited about?

I just started a new collective called The Jungle Dance! I’m super excited about the opportunity to host many talented DJs and producers under my umbrella of ideas.

Any hobbies outside of music?

I’ve always been a fan of films. Filmmaking, cinematography and screenwriting are hobbies I’d love to sink my teeth into.

Where can we next see you perform or DJ?

I’m throwing a party at Sleepwalk in Bushwick next Friday March 29th from 11pm - 3am.
It’ll be the first official The Jungle Dance party!

Mix 009: Alpaca

https://soundcloud.com/hannah_account

Whats your name and where are you from?

I’m Hannah! I DJ & produce as Hannah Account & I’m based in Queens.

Can you tell me a little about the mix?

This mix is loosely based on a set I played last week at The End. I had planned to play dub reggae tracks one at a time echoed out between tracks. When I got to the gig I learned that the mixer for the evening (a Xone 92, which I had never played on) lacked effects. Not having the time to run home & grab a delay pedal, I instead decided to play dance tracks that draw on dub’s heavy bass & drums & eerie atmosphere. Even though I had to figure out the mixer while performing I was still pretty pleased with my track selection & went home wanting to keep exploring this theme. Like dub, this mix makes me think about ghosts & the weight of the present.

What are you most excited about that you’re working on right now?

I think getting to play a whole bunch of my own tracks out at Bossa a couple weeks ago made me catch the producing bug again.  I’m trying to put out a lot more music this year! I’m mostly trying to finish some of the dozens of tracks I have that are somewhere between 25-90% complete before I really dive into new stuff though. I feel like I make tracks in one long session or very slowly over the course of many months with not a whole lot of in-between. 

Any hobbies outside of music?

I love cooking! Like DJing it’s all about combination timing & selection :)

Where can we see you perform next? (Next upcoming gigs)

I’m throwing myself a birthday party on Saturday April 13th at Jade Bar! I’ll be doing the closing set for that I’m also performing the night after on April 14th at The End in The Breaking Capacity breakbeat/jungle/dnb party. If you know me you know those genres are my bread & butter :) No pressure to come see me two nights in a row but I’ll also love you forever if you do!!

--

Mix 13 comes to us from the infinitely talented Brooklyn NY artist @cadesss a master of live sets, hardware manipulation, dj curation and overall electronic music history buff, we are very excited to have him on the series. This mix is a vinyl-only mix of dub and 90s techno, now playing on the soundcloud page. We sat down with him a few questions to introduce himself-

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Whats your name and where are you from?
Ian Cades and I’m originally from Georgia, moved to the city in 2018.

Can you tell us about the mix?
I’m not a very good mix planner, my collection is split up wildly across multiple hard drives, USBs, lot of vinyl, 2 different laptops, etc. so when i work on a mix I tend to just gravitate towards whatever’s been my recent additions. This whole mix is 140 bpm but hops all over the place.

What you are currently working on that you are most excited about?
I have a big live set I’m prepping for in the summer that is taking up most of my free time. I also just wrapped up an EP for release this week that is entirely club focused and I think is my most concise work yet.

Any hobbies outside of music?
Feeding birds in my neighborhood 


Where can we see you perform next? Any upcoming gigs?
I’ll be opening for Versa end of May for SBE! I’ll be doing a dub live set with a touch of IDM and glitch.
