Years back, I had been asked to play with a gig with Lack, an artist who I had been listening to and really began to admire, even emulate. When I met Phil, I asked if I could help him bring things into Win/Win on Spring Garden. He was quiet and very mild-mannered, which I attributed to my grating personality and worried I was bothering him. Thru the evening, after hearing an incredible set in a famously hard room to sound good in, I stood near Phil's merch table and told people which things to buy, as I had already become an ultra punisher of Lack fandom. Phil drank tea. I liked that.

Soon after, Phil asked that I make a record for his label Enmossed, that he painstakingly takes care of from his cabin in Maine. I was thrilled to make a whacked out record of blacked out VHS tapes melting, drum machine simplicity, and static that resembled a beat. Eventually, I made another tape for the same label, but by then Phil and I had become very close, speaking on a daily basis. He's someone I consider among my best friends. Since, Phil and I managed to play gigs together at other famously horrible rooms in Philadelphia and along the east coast (except Moon Villain in Boston and Brunner's apartment, that shit was the best.)

This is my first opportunity to return the favor. Phil has since dropped the Lack moniker and gone by his given name Glyn Maier. In the coming month of May 2021, with his remixes of the Silent Hill soundtrack (with a b side of nature processes layered on the original mix), I will get the fine opportunity to share this unbelievable ambient "mixtape." 

This mix of the Aught catalog is in the same wheelhouse. 4 cassette decks, a mixer, and Phil railing on the easy money ambient in only a way he can. Download enabled for the hard drive hoarders.

One name that's been floating around the UK and beyond is Dj ojo !! 
A talent that all must know and hear. Joe aka Dj ojo is an artist, DJ and producer based in London. He first caught our attention back in 2021 releasing on Accidental Meetings first Compilation with a progressive, organic and emotive track called Mycelial, which set the tone for what was to come. Next releasing on Pressure Dome, Joe was able to create senses we never knew we had and leave us with hair standing on all parts. His music has really made an internally positive impact in the industry. His debut EP 'Coiled Up', released on Blank Mind, was a weird and cozy dose of 4 uniquely structured tracks that stunned us all. 
Joe not only produces but also Co runs 'Avant garbage' with legendary k means on Netail radio every month offering the most obscure sounds for your ears. He is also a resident on Leeds based station, NARR radio.
We are stoked to have Joe join Cozi with his one hour of dubby infused, house which was his first musical love!


Interview..........

1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?

"I've been making music on and off since my teens but it was only about 3 years ago when i started taking it a bit more seriously. I also played drums when i was younger, and i've enjoyed making sounds and rhythms since as long as i can remember, so in some ways producing music felt inevitable. But there was still a massive mental hurdle just to start actually doing it properly. As for DJing, I guess thats just the natural progression from hogging the aux cord at house parties and friends cars. The music is a bit different these days though..."

2. Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?

"I think there are a variety of things that can make a gig cosy, a few experiences stick out for me... hearing Dozzy play slow deep house and techno feels like receiving a big warm hug; going to small and homely venues like Spanners is comforting, even if the music is not; ambient yurts at festivals often offer cosy outlets amongst the chaos - freerotation has the best one i've seen so far. Generally speaking London and the UK could definitely do with more venues focused primarily on comfort."

3.Are you an introvert or extrovert in the industry?

"Honestly it depends on my surroundings, overall i guess probably neutral. If i'm in a comfortable space surrounded by friends, then i like to express myself and make new connections. But i also value my solitude very highly and i like to be alone, even in the club from time to time. So if you see me out and i'm acting awkwardly that's probably why 😶‍🌫️"

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?

maus & stolle - bubble on. stick it on at the afters and watch everyone wobble and melt

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? do you have any special remedies/ mental prep/ places to go to? :)

"If i'm working on some music at home, i like to get into it early in the day if possible. I'll make a coffee and smoothie and prepare my desk area into a calming arrangement. I think most of the best music i've written has been first thing in the morning actually.

Preparing for a DJ gig is more of a gradual process of trying to picture myself in the environment, imagine how i'll feel, and choose a range of music accordingly. Then before the gig, eat a big bowl of pasta and try to not feel too anxious! "

CoziMix 05 : Dj ojo

While her roots are in Poland, Ola is now based in Brisbane, Australia. Her musical style is an exploration of experimental ambi-step, bassline, and half-time dub. DJ and curator of Eterna, @olajar appears to have a distinct approach: from complex percussion patterns, atmospheric textures, and tempo changes to craft a musical experience that is both intriguing and unsettling. Her ability to seamlessly transition between ethereal ambient tones and intricate textures to dubbed-out psy-tech suggests a diverse and dynamic range within her music, engaging the audience with a constant sense of evolution and innovation.
