Influences:
producers who use their DAW to spawn and grow inconceivable organisms, or build and sculpt vast architectures. artists whose music helps you engage with your body with pure openness. artists who make music to excavate things out of themselves. artists who write music that reflects their world (inside or outside) at you. music that carries memories and sensations with me that would be otherwise lost. working musicians who break the borders between practices, cultures, and industries. people who invent new genres by djing, throwing parties, and starting labels. djs who understand how rhythm affects the body. djs who throw away established definitions about music and come up with their own. ravers who throw away their pretensions, exercise care and show love to their peers, and put unbridled energy into the music.

Favorite Quote:
a wise man carrying a comically oversized mug once told me, "this community will give you everything, but eventually you have to give it all back."

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
take the time to think about what you really want to do with your work, and pursue it unapologetically. but as you get more and more from the community, think about what you're doing to pay it back by supporting and uplifting others. try to learn when to make sacrifices in your commitments/presence in the community for your artmaking, homemaking, and personal wellness. try to learn when to do the opposite. show up for your friends and the people who inspire you. it's never the wrong time to take a beat, consider how you're taking up space, and consider the effect you have/could have on the people around you. if you don't get booked too often, always show up early and stay late when you do. whatever you do, hold yourself accountable to push your craft as far as you possibly can - all of us doing that is what keeps the community alive.

On this week's Crack Mix, Mumdance reminds us of his singular production talent and ear for sound. Packed with forward-thinking, unreleased material, he journeys through weighty sub-bass-led riddims and hyperpop-influenced sounds, before closing out with hardcore punk mixed with experimental d’n’b.

Killian and D-Grade mixed live on FBi Radio 06.10.24

Full episode + tracklist: https://www.fbi.radio/programs/m5/episodes/m5-6th-october-2024

D-Grade is a DJ and organiser based on Gadigal land, in Sydney Australia. They present ‘serious’ music with cheek, quirk and unpredictability and love to playfully toy at the margins between ‘mind’ and ‘body’ music. D-Grade enjoys frenetic, bossy and beautiful sounds. They’re partial to a good baseline, gritty drums, a gloomy vocal or gaudy guitar riffs. They sometimes appear as Wings of D’sire with good-friend-and-close-collaborator Wingnut, with whom they also put on intermittent, often-elusive boof functions.

“eyes closed and channel open
an insight into what’s inside
something magikal, something immaterial
finding form through figments of
imagining, making, moving
through subconscious conjuring
we gently tend to what can’t be known
and yet is always felt within”

— excerpts from my dear friend Imbar Amira Nassi’s text-message musings on ’dreamgarden’

TRAUMCAST ☼ 08 ☼ D-Grade

Mumdance embraces a much wider world of sound than many. The UK producer is an experienced collaborator who grounds his sounds in anything from grime to breaks, techno to hardcore, experimental to world and afro. Making textured noise with a module set up, playing sets that run a dizzying gamut of genres and performing live with the likes of Novelist, he is a restless creative who works with labels like Tectonic, Keysound Recordings and XL Recordings. On top of all this, he runs his own Different Circles label, heads up one of Rinse FM’s most popular radio shows and designed sound presents for the relaunched 303 and 909 machines by Roland.

His mix for us is a beguiling, hard to categorise blend of all of this, forthcoming stuff and more: from brain frying frequencies and skeletal grooves from somewhere on the hardcore continuum to sci-fi ambiance, deep techno rhythms and immersive passages of raved-up sound design, it is a singular proposition from someone who embodies many different aspects of UK electronic music past, present and future, often all at once.
