Ambient // Live Electronics // Experimental // Downtempo

@gwenans' rise through the ranks has always been driven by a love for the music. She hasn't produced any big breakout hit and never dreamt of headlining on a super-sized main stage. Instead, she has quietly honed her craft playing at intimate London parties like Toi Toi and her own Hi Fi, made a successful move to Berlin where she fomented close ties with cultured crews like The Ghost and impressed with her pitch-perfect sets as a resident at London's Pickle Factory as well as the beloved Freerotation in her native Wales. Her sound is rooted in house and techno that is deep and kinetic, but it can stretch way beyond and into a world of leftfield electronics and heady ambient. 

On this week's mix, Gwenan does what she does best: establishes a groove your body can't resist then slowly tweaks and builds on it for 80 minutes. There are never any big left turns or flashy tracks, just a well-sequenced, neatly mixed and super-tight selection of irresistibly good records. Some go heavy on the bass, some twist and turn on a cosmic synth and some have a machine-made soul that warms you to your core.

Gwenan - Live at Sanctum of Sound, November 2023

Gin & Tonic is an improvised electronic music duo, comprised of Eli Verveine and Gwenan, renowned for their captivating DJ sets that ignite dancefloors across the globe. Their journey began with a spontaneous decision to intertwine their musical machines for a hybrid live/DJ set at an anti-war gathering in MaHalla, Berlin, during the spring of 2022. What started as a fleeting moment soon blossomed into an impassioned collaboration, where the rhythmic pulse of their creations took precedence over conventional DJ equipment.

This recording encapsulates the essence of their synergy, featuring a compilation of six studio and live improvisations. Some tracks are freshly minted, while others were crafted during the waning moments of the previous year. The collection culminates with a tantalizing excerpt from their mesmerizing performance at the Waking Life Festival in June 2023, a testament to their evolution as artists and the boundless energy they bring to every stage they grace.
