Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself? 

Hi i’m Gigi — he/his — Austin, TX — I was a childhood ice hockey star

How is everything going with you right now?

I have been fortunate enough to be well.. been using this year off from work to dive into a practice and learn some discipline.

How did you get your dj name?

I got it from my partner, Mimi — she flipped my original g-name into gigi & it stuck. I never liked my birth name much anyway + it’s cute to match.

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

ry, tito fuego/mister water wet, charles, bobby, nueen, boundary, jel, purelink, pascäal, ian kim judd, jung dj, shiner, downstairs j, hysterical love project,  perila, oli/px, thurlow joyce+ many more.. so many friends exploring inspiring places these days

If you had to describe yourself as a flower,which one would it be and why? 

Mimi says “frost flowers because they’re ephemeral”

Favorite weird drug/mind altering experience?

Sensory deprivation tank before the rave at Shirley’s Temple (r.i.p.)
What was your first gig? How did it go? 

A show put together by Ben Aqua at an upstairs club on downtown Congress that I don’t recall. I was 18 & had only started making music on ableton a few months prior, and played a live set that mostly consisted of pressing play on a 30 min composed production mix with a little knob twiddling & dj drop triggering. considering that, I’d say it went pretty well

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

I think it’s obvious, but increased representation without tokenism. also, turn away from the dj & look at your fellow dancers.

Any cool releases upcoming for Gi Gi this year? 

I don’t want to speak too soon, but I do have a couple of records in the pipeline with quiet time & index, both of which I’m very excited about. working on some more uptempo material as kept that should be seeing the light of day soon as well.

"Starsystem endurance. Arrival station Centauri RY70X. Cryosleep memory leak; maunder sterile corridors. Grit thoroughfares. Recollect high ability: wildstyle! Abandon former life isolate. Art-zeal-fixation.

Beyond all mire.

The heavenspot ensures death, tag it anyway.” L.C.

Most commonly known to our community as 'Rok', 'Riley', 'Rok Riley', 'THE ROK'. Personal Space is thrilled to introduce, although i feel as though she is someone who needs little introducing, Rachel! I have had Rach on my mind to do a PS mix ever since I started.. over two years ago now. I have always been inspired by Riley's contribution to the music/arts community here in Perth/Boorloo and not only that, but also constantly being a ray of supportive sunshine wherever she may go, leaving you grinning from ear to ear and saying, as she walks away, "Wow, goddam, I LOVE HER!!".  
Inbetween Rach's jampacked calendar of DJ gigs, attending gigs, being an artist, teacher & friend, it proved difficult to lock her down for a mix. Alas we made it happen on a breezy Saturday afternoon under the palms of east street, a joy it was, I too hope you enjoy listening back on Rach's Personal Space. 

Djilba Kambarang Birak Bunuru
Farewell to Spring 

Rachel:
“As I grow older I have become more and more dependent on music to express myself where words fail me. To explain what music means in a mix feels impossible too--for me it feels indistinguishable where I start and where it finishes, and is in a constant state of flux. I decided to instead focus on creating a love letter to the departure of spring and the welcoming of summer, Djilba moving through Kambarang, Birak and Bunuru, which felt like a way of somehow harnessing the overwhelming emotion surrounding the task. Attempts at embrace, washing in and out, asking for gentle glimpses, it helped reach me out of an internal world I so easily get lost in and in doing so -peering into cupped hands small secrets are revealed -like whispers on the cold breeze on a warm afternoon.”
