Fresh Kicks 168: JADALAREIGN

JADALAREIGN Refuge Worldwide Guest Mix

Tracklist + Q&A: https://bit.ly/3Ut9Hav

@jadalareign is a dynamic force in the American underground's Black music renaissance

"This mix is a snapshot of my signature sound, including some of my most favorite records from my collection. It encompasses my passion for classic American house and techno spanning my home in New York, the East Coast and Midwest. It’s a love letter to obscure cuts, ravey synths and acid basslines, queer themes, expressive vocals, and getting free on the dancefloor."

Juanita's Mix 077 with JADALAREIGN @jadalareign

Q. How would you describe yourself? 
A. Multiplicitous

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I've been a part of the scene for about 10 years, DJing for the last 8.

Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. This mix is a snapshot of my life and mood as of late. As I move into a new season, I'm learning a lot about my own capacity for resilience and fortitude, and this mix captures that nicely. It's introspective, emotional, deep with moments of darkness and hope, and is rounded out with a bit of celebratory fun. It explores the more ambient side of house and techno, with a nice blend of textures and percussion throughout. It's imperfect, uneven, lofi, but honest. I see it as a nice accompaniment to lounging, working, pondering, tripping, feeling or simply just existing.

"In honor of black music month, I created a mix of some of my favorite tracks, records, artists and labels from the 90s to present. The mix spans across different eras and subgenres of house music, keeping depth of rhythm and emotion at the forefront. It showcases my taste for deep cuts, off kilter sounds, and classic underground Chicago and Detroit themes, moving from low to high energy across 90 minutes.  Dedicated to all black music makers past and present. "
