one of my favorite sets from this weekend. loved it!

Cutting edge techno at it’s finest, Parisian heavyweight Bambounou takes us through the paces with a mind-warping mix for the Junction 2 series.
 
Fusing his love for dystopian sci-fi with futuristic interpretations of UK techno, IDM and tribal sources, Bambounou is an artist at the forefront of today’s underground scene. Catching the attention of Modeselektor early, the French-Malian-Polish producer has released two albums and five EPs on the now-defunct seminal label, 50Weapons, and is set to launch his own imprint, Bambe, this month. Lauded for his experimental eclecticism and dynamic sets, Bambounou is a regular at dance institutions like Breghain, Concrete and De School and will be making his long-awaited debut with us at ION Festival this September.

Junction 2 Mix Series 011 - Bambounou

Toronto's efemmera (@efemmera) closed out the very first year of Daisychain in 2018 (#051) with a mix dedicated to the 1993 rave era. She's back again with a fizzy mix for the Daisychain residency on Berlin's Refuge Worldwide 📡🌐🌼

efemmera is 1/3 of Toronto-based dance music collective @oepresents with Ceremonies and Kehdo. She began deejaying and throwing parties as a way of bringing together her friends, both irl and Dancing is merely a small part of her endless dedication for fun and Having a Good Time. While On Earth is currently offline, they can be found on the radio waves monthly on  Lisbon's Radio Quantica and occasionally, at @invisible-city-radio.

efemmera shares a bit about this mix: "I've been thinking a lot about this feeling of 'nostalgiacore. just like many others, I found myself returning to songs I listened to 5-10 years ago for both comfort and pleasure's sake Think lots of indie dance, music that toes the line between cheesy, neon, and what feels good, etc, which i realize share a lot of common elements with genres and sounds I love and gravitate towards to: lush bass, 90s trance, new beat, weirdo synths, pop-centric electronica, etc. I think a part of me is thinking about an idealized version of Ibiza where it's just my friends and I playing music for each other and having fun <3  ~
Some imagery to accompany this mix: rolling around in sticky heat, fizzy acid,  haribo gummies, a clown car"

Refuge Worldwide is a Berlin-based independent, community radio station working in solidarity with grassroots and non-profit organizations.

Darwin (@darwinspec) juggles many different roles in dance music as well as she juggles her records in the DJ booth. The Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist runs her own REEF parties at Berghain, and has nurtured a wealth of emerging talents on her SPE:C label. She is also the founder of Clean Scene, a climate action collective that wants to explore a more sustainable future for dance music. They recently authored a stark report about the industry's carbon footprint, which you can read through cleanscene.club/report.pdf. 

Darwin's sound is rooted in various UK styles, from bass to dubstep, garage to breakbeat. That is evident in the 100-minute mix she lays down for us this week. It opens with thoughts about environmentalism and some indigenous jungle recordings before grinding through chunky Afro drum patterns and supersized bass. The pressure builds throughout, the cavernous rhythms grow ever more muscular as the urge to snake your body becomes overwhelming. It's a perfectly balanced, well-controlled mix that showcases the irresistible power of heavyweight bass music.

In addition to playing out, Lychee has organized DJ/producer skillshare events, taught DJ workshops, and curated a speaker event about inclusivity in music technology.

Notes on the Mix //
As someone who often goes super conceptual with mixes, this one was a lot more about capturing a vibe - something sultry and slower-paced and weird that a few recent sets I heard from the dancefloor tapped into (@andrewakanbi and @DJTemporary closer at the last Groovy Groovy, @RussellELButler silky slow peak time moment at their all nighter at @Nowadaysnyc , @Physical-Therapy at Weird Science at @liveatmagickcity on a Sunday night). I felt kind of disconnected from my body and sense of sensuality this winter, those sets really helped bring me back to it compared to a lot of the faster, frenetic music I've been hearing out (not that I don't love that too). I don't think what I played here really matches the style or tempo of any of the sets I mentioned (and I still want to make a ~100 bpm set with a bunch of tracks played at the wrong speed someday, and almost went there for this, but it wasn't clicking for me this time), but it makes me want to move the way those sets made me want to move - slippery, playful, strange, emotional. Sort of a similar tone to my @JuanitasNYC mix back in November."

TPF–004 is a special recording for us, not least because it comes in part from The Pickle Factory's newest resident, Leif.

The mix is a live recording from Leif's first residency party back in March. To mark the occasion, he invited a debut live set from Forest Drive West, a warmup from ace French selector Gigsta, and as the grand finale, a closing b2b with Leif joined by Livity Sound boss and fellow genre-bending UK selector, Peverelist.

Leif and Peverelist going toe to toe at peak time is exactly what The Pickle Factory was made for. Two of the UK's finest selectors, sharing the decks for the first time. A rabbit hole of a mix, they traverse through hypnotic techno and spaced out house, before finally settling on thunderous 180bpm rhythms. Or as Leif himself described it, "Jungle rinse out hour". Enjoy.

Leif's next party with Laurel Halo, Don't DJ (Live) and Dan Thorman is on 28 June 2019 → bit.ly/2wELd4K
