To celebrate the release of her album Quivering In Time, Eris Drew presents a 2hour club ready excursion taking in 32 tracks of influences, dancefloor go to's and several cuts from her own aforementioned full length. Get ready to sweat.

"My DJ mix for Bleep is over 2 hours and includes a lot of music from the test press of my new album, “Quivering in Time” mixed alongside records from my collection. The mix is equal parts soft and propulsive with each track blended, dropped, collaged and scratched for maximum resonance with the Motherbeat. Rollers from many genres are on the mix, including house, breaks, progressive, trip hop, techno, bass, dubstep, etc etc."

Bleep Mix #212 - Eris Drew

With what was mostly a full and fruitful year for us with many beautiful moments, we now turn our eyes forward to what is looking to be a very exciting year for us at Phonica as we walk into our 20th year of being alive. 2022 saw our mix series get even more killer contributions from artists like Paramida, Sally C, Fred P, Eden Burns, Alex Kassian, Erol Alkan and more. 2023's series line up plans to keep moving up and we have opened this years mix season in the capable hands of two of the finest DJ/Producers doing it right now. Bringing nothing but powerful, euphoric and goddess energies it can only be Octo Octa and Eris Drew of T4T Luv NRG. Amazingly celebrated for their strand of psychedelic, rolling progressive, trancey-house and break rhythms we can't think of two better selector's to take on our series. With an excellently curated compilation and mix for our good friends at Fabric last year as well as two banging cassettes on T4T we can't begin to imagine what this year has in-store for Maya and Eris but we have no doubt it's even more on the upward trajectory! Most likely to the heavens and back! We had a chat with Maya and Eris to see what they have been up to lately and little about how they approached the mix.

For 2024’s final instalment of The Mix, @eris-drew & @octoocta provide an hour of Motherbeat-infused ecstacy

"We wanted to do a proper, 128 BPM house mix. Our very ecstatic, house energy mix. It’s going to be just over an hour, because we want it to be in that radiant space for the entire time and play some of our older favourites, as well as newer favourites from our record bag over this past year. We’re not like ‘track of the week’ DJs, when we love something, it’s getting played over the span of a few years, sometimes even 10 years."

RA profile: https://ra.co/dj/jamesaxon/biography 

James Axon is the cofounder & resident of the queer underground party Planet Love, and a resident of Dublab with his radio show "Hearing Color" -- both platforms he dedicates to underground dance music. A lifelong pianist and classically trained musician, James Axon spent years in bands and orchestras ensembles before falling in love with the timeless sounds of house and techno while studying in Copenhagen and Berlin. With over a decade of collecting dance records since, Axon now draws upon his musicality and eclectic taste as a DJ that espouses an expansive vision of dance music, often mixing seamlessly between all shades of house, techno, italo, electro, disco, and breaks. Often drawn to the 'grey area' and hard-to-classify tracks, Axon's selections stem from a deep love and fascination with the infinite possibilities of synthesis and sound design. His sets are always colorful, eclectic, and intuitively reflective of the setting. Whether playing cosmic disco in an intimate loft or hypnotic techno in a dark foggy warehouse, he still finds a sound that is distinctly James Axon: melodic, driving, dreamy, and synth-heavy.  Axon's DJing has taken him to clubs both around the country and internationally, with recent appearances at Sunday Sunday CDMX, Good Room NYC, and Por Detroit LA
