A luminescent vision from London's o.utlier, whose meticulous and uncommon approach sets the stage for a new year of discovery. A sanguine moment recorded live among friends in Scotland, a scrying of shrouded futures, a promise cast beneath a clairvoyant sky.

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I'm a producer and DJ going by the name of Ciel. My real name is Cindy, my pronouns are she/her, and I'm based in Toronto, Canada.

How do you deal with being nervous before a gig? 

Try not think about it :) It doesn't always work, but i find it happens from time to time if I'm really exhausted from not sleeping on tour and my brain has naturally shut off. If I can't stop thinking about it, I will try to select the first track from my vinyl bag and have a vague sense of what Rekordbox playlists I plan to play from. I ad-hoc all my sets because I love picking tracks in response to the audience's energy, but sometimes that is a lot more stressful for me and I find myself doom scrolling the USB. Devising a strategy, even if I end up not following it, does a lot to soothe my anxiety. 

Where do you see yourself musically in 2044?

I don't know what the future holds but I hope to be a full time composer of film and TV scores when I'm in my 50s and no longer want to tour constantly.

If you could have anything on your rider… What would you choose?

An indica-sativa hybrid joint (no tobacco), nice bottle of orange wine, German flat peaches, and a bathroom in the booth (anything is possible, right?)

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

Less celebrity worship, less influencer culture, less fame & money-chasing, more focus on behind-the-scenes folks (whether DJs or producers or labels) who foster community and tirelessly build their local scenes.

We're happy to share our new podcast made by the artist who'll join us at Lofi's Colorfloor on May 11: Tijmen Blokzijl aka Teqmun. The promising DJ and producer once said about Upsammy’s music: 'It evokes the sensation of crawling through a landscape like an ant.' He curated a mix that feels to call upon this visualization. In this hour filled with half-time breaks and prickly rhythms you get a good idea of what he's all about. It's adventurous, unpredictable and driving; gritty, raw textures intertwine with bright glowing melodies and synths, creating a sense of ease and softness you want to drown in, while haunting elements and energetic percussion keep it lively and much bouncing. A beautiful mix!

Kia is an acclaimed Australian DJ & founder of the Animalia & Cirrus labels. A highly skilled selector and open-eared music digger, who is ever searching tirelessly for lost obscurities and hidden gems. On the dancefloor her sound spans bass heavy rhythms, IDM and the deeper shades of techno.

About the mix Kia said: “This mix is a big amalgamation of sets and moods I've been playing recently on my travels in Mexico, Colombia, the US & Canada, and some shades and new styles influenced by my time in Latin America & Detroit specifically. Like a travel diary in a mix :) ”

At Monument Festival 2022 Kia gifted us with the perfect afternoon set, laying down three hours of tightly woven hypnotic grooves. This year she will be closing out Friday night playing b2b with Polygonia. Not to be missed.

I met the lovely Copehagen based Vika, @vika-cph at Kune Festival on an island off Copenhagen last year after I'd stumbled upon her set on the beach in the afternoon - playing dreamy half speed & soft dnb. 

As part of the core amazing Kune festival crew, she's an important member of the Copenhagen scene, and has a beautiful polyrhythmic, enchanting dj style of fast & slow, hard and soft. Very happy to host her in the series :)

Thanks so much for the mix Vika!
