Living Room n°78 ~ @olga_udda

q. pls introduce yourself
a. Hey 🌸 I’m Udda, Ukrainian dj based in Berlin, part of Bass Resistance collective.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. It took me a while to put this mix together. Sometimes, while selecting tracks, I wanted to make it more grounding, and other times, I leaned toward something more ethereal and far from the earth. In the end, I think it turned out to be some sort of dance between these two states. 

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix? 
a. On the train, heading home after insightful trip.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
a. A small Chinese clay teapot 🍵

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. I’m helping friends to build a platform for electronic music artists  and fans. Hopefully soon we’ll share more about it.

BEN BONDY @ IDK 21/11/2024

@qwqwqwqwa is an artistic outlet of producer and DJ Grigorii Gribov. In his live shows he explores bassy, glitchy micro-percussive music, navigating between UK bass, techno, ambient breaks, illbient, and downtempo with a touch of early 2000s IDM.

He has released albums on labels like Grid, and Neoplasm and contributed to compilations by Comic Sans, Xpone, Neoplasm, Radio Fantasia, 29 Speedway. As a Dj and selector he made podcasts for NTS, Rinse France, Retreat, Mutant, Ola, syg.ma, Kiosk, Gimic radios.

His latest mixtape Rejecting Fragility, released on Xpone, 2024, is a recorder of emotions and experiences collected during a year of immigration to Tbilisi. Delving into new surroundings, the mixtape acts as a postcard that envisions the technogenic bustle of Tbilisi. Similar to Fashion Music for Scammers, the release takes shape of a diary entry and attempts to record the constantly fluctuating moment of emotional fragility, where the atmosphere within the magical and serene corners of the city’s surroundings switches up rapidly with its concrete coldness, and the deep wormhole that is its nightlife.

EUROSIS

The third episode in our new series (and our 40th podcast!) comes from Lyon based Comic Sans Records label-head and lyl radio resident, sleek fata. 

@sleek-fata

We've been a fan of sleek fata for a while now, often tuning into his exquisitely put together "Cremation of Care" shows - which explore a wide spectrum of experimental music focused on tracks with an high sound design profile going from psychedelic electronics to jazz with a touch of punk and trip hop between.

This mix beautifully showcases the variety of his tastes and skills of mixing it all together, from dub to dubstep, techno to half time & masterfully jumping tempo’s - sleek fata’s got it covered.

I wanted to build a thematic journey that could bring together different types of music and tempos, while still feeling coherent as a whole. I found a strong inspiration in the icy textures of dub techno, it sparked the whole idea. So this is essentially a cold journey through the dub techno continuum (dub techno in the broad sense): half-time, dubstep, dub techno, footwork, downtempo… each track shares a similar colour palette, sonically speaking. Think light blue, white, and grey tones. I imagined a dancer trapped in a cold room with a perfect sound system, moving and reacting to these glacial sounds. But "glacial" doesn’t mean emotionless—on the contrary. Despite the chill, there's a lot of soul embedded in each track.

I grew up listening to rap while living in the suburbs of Lyon as a kid. Later, when I moved into the city centre for university, I discovered electronic music. So yes, my environment has always shaped my musical taste—just like it does for everyone, I believe. Our preferences are influenced by sociological data: age, ethnicity, the country we grow up in, our parents' professions, and so on.

But beyond that, my uncle, who I lived with when I was younger, had a big impact. During the peak of the Emule era, he downloaded every US rap album he could find and burned them onto blank CDs. When I came home from school, I would pick one at random and discover a new album every day. That routine really shaped my digging habit. These days, the Bandcamp community is a big influence for me.

I’m working on Vision Pro Dubs, a various artists project that started as a special episode of my Cremation of Care radio show. It brings together contemporary and cutting-edge smooth dub sounds. Besides that, Malesa is working on their second album, and we’re putting together a remix EP of Seta Loto’s last release. I’m also collaborating with Cortex of Light on something exciting!
