My next guest on Yax Invites is Adelaide techno veteran, Ben Alibi, who has kindly prepared an interesting write up to support his mix for the series below.

Good records offer an insight into another existence - be it here on Earth, or the far flung reaches of our imaginations. Speaking personally, the valuable ones are usually something I continue to find something new in and are as appreciated being played right through, or mixed as a portion in a set. 

When DJing, I feel the focus should be on the music itself; I've only ever used two sources at once and I like to believe that in some ways there's fewer places to hide when it's just you and two tracks. Knowing how to juggle three (or more) decks well would be awesome though! 

I always go back to hearing Jeff Mills play over two nights, during the mid 90's. Night one was his 3-turntable power mix - which was amazing to watch first-hand! However, night two was performed on two decks only, whereby it felt to me like the level of intensity and audience involvement was counter-intuitively higher. Furthermore, it seemed like the track selection went deeper and everything being aired reached its full potential. 

As such, I believe a DJ's role is simply to work productions together, so as to best highlight the standout parts of each track simultaneously - anything more, or less, only detracts from what should be at the core of it all; individual human expression, through techno music. 

This mix has plenty of personal old favourites - tracks that we (my generation) would associate with a night out in Adelaide during the early 90's. I'm old enough to remember this period fondly and with good reason as Adelaide, South Australia truly was the underground techno capital (outpost) of Australia - if not the southern hemisphere - primarily due to being the base for the formative label, Juice Records. 

The current generation of contributors should certainly feel proud of our foundations, but crucially, remember that so much has changed. We're totally just a grain of sand on a beach now, but something big has been achieved here before, so it's certainly possible again.
 
From my perspective, if there's one thing to take from our history here, it's that we be totally confident in our unique way of doing things as that's core to our sustainability; moreover, it's what someone on the receiving end 'buys into'. 

Again, with the sentimentality... but buying records back in the day was like being a tourist - you were taking a ride on someone else's reality. Every point in the globe, every scene within a point, had its own sound and this was a big part of the attraction that techno music originally held. In essence, I wish to continue being part of the movement that (re)focuses on sounding like Adelaide, for us to then communicate outwardly with. 

I love what we had, but I love where we might go next, even more. 

I hope that you enjoy listening to this selection as much as I did laying it down. N.B. keep an ear out for the new (and some unreleased) music within from DMZ and Antony Coppens, on Juice Records.

Xplore w/ Operation 4.0 & Redd Ophis & Andrømeda - May-23

Ksenia Kamikaza, the founder of Under festival and Platz für Tanz label, is the main moving force of rave culture in Latvia. Spinning records in places like fabric in London, Dommune in Tokyo, losing herself in music and dust at Burning Man, she varies from techno to ambient, from dark disco to IDM. 
In year 2007 she founded the Platz für Tanz collective to bring international sound of electronic music to Latvia. Throughout the years, the label has collaborated with Dasha Rush, Claudio PRC, Bloody Mary, Projekt Gestalten, OCD, Etapp Kyle, Liza Aikin and a list of significant artists follows. Ksenia challenges the most unexpected places for her events: trains, airports, libraries and even churches, — proving that techno is not only music, but the true cultural phenomena.
As a music producer Ksenia Kamikaza has released several EPs, in year 2015 coming to her debut album "Japanese Georgians", which has been true musical experimentation and self-expression: it includes Ksenia’s love and vision of downtempo, IDM, broken beats and techno. The second album “Pirveli Sitkvebi” in collaboration with Georgian artist Antiproject followed in 2022.
In year 2017 Ksenia and a team of true music fans have organized the first electronic music festival called UNDER in Riga. The festival has become a good tradition and is happening annually. 
 The new beginning came in year 2022: Ksenia has founded two labels, releasing Latvian electronic music only. KĀDAS DOMAS is concentrated on ambient and experimental genres, while TĀDA GAITA is about techno, house and electro music.

Hoy venimos a presentarles a la siguiente artista encargada de participar de nuestra serie.

La DJ y productora Victoria Mussi es sinónimo del underground paraguayo. Nacida y criada en Asunción, sus contundentes producciones y poderosos sets son un subproducto del carácter y el paisaje cultural de su ciudad natal. Su carrera está impulsada por su pasión por espacios que ayudan a elevar a los que la rodean, y es uno de los miembros más activos de su comunidad. Disfruta de los elementos audiovisuales de la música y colabora con artistas visuales y visionarios para dar vida a sus tracks, construyendo en simultaneo una comunidad que celebra el arte y la expresión en todas sus formas. La Boiler Room de 2016 consolidó su reputación a escala mundial, demostrando la amplitud y la profundidad de su catálogo; una mezcla atmosférica de ambient, techno, house etéreo y dubbed out breaks que mostraron su destreza, su sensibilidad y su criterio discreto. Con lanzamientos en Jujuka, Counterchange y Planet X, su estilo de producción es a la vez introspectivo y energético. Sus composiciones se sitúan entre el house y el techno, abarcando toda la gama de la condición humana. Es co-fundadora del sello Inbetween, creado en 2017 para exponer talento emergente y consolidado en múltiples géneros, como también co-fundadora y directora de Tango, club nocturno co-creado en 2019 con el principal objetivo de compartir el amor por la música y las artes, y celebrar el poder transformador de la cultura rave. Tiene el don de alimentarse de la multitud y devolverle su energía en forma de selecciones compasivas e inteligentes, y ve la música como un ritual de conexión interna y externa, experimentación, transformación y crecimiento.
