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.

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I am a DJ, event producer and educator from NYC with Puerto Rican and German roots. My music selection is heavily influenced by my hybrid cultures. As a DJ I love vinyl digging and hope to take listeners on a journey through time with vinyl + digital sets exploring 90s NY house, latin deep cuts, with new club and reggaeton sounds. As an event producer, I’ve been working on events with Misschief collective and Radio Red Puerto Rico.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I grew up in Manhattan and started going out exploring the club and music scene (mostly EDM shows) as a teenager over 10 years ago. I’ve been DJing and producing events in Brooklyn for the past 5 years at venues like Mood Ring, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Nowadays, Good Room and more.

Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. 50% wax 50 % digital. Deep cuts, vocals and house adjacent tracks with a dip into techno, acid and latin jazz. A mix of old and new, journey through “time and space“ of the 90s until now with records that have been on may rotation heavy recently. Recorded and mastered at Karlala studio.

As part of RA2122, our ongoing celebration of 21 years of club culture, we'll be featuring some of our favourite DJs from around the world, highlighting the parties or clubs most important to their lives in dance music. DJ Voices will be playing our RA2122 party in New York this Saturday, November 29th.

DJ Voices is a prime example of an artist that really can do it all. The New York-based artist, originally from Florida, has been an integral part of New York's electronic music as a DJ and as a booker at one of the city's best venues, Nowadays. Voices got her footing as a selector as a founding member of the DJ collective Working Women, but these days she performs solo through her Nowadays residency and her radio show on The Lot, Nothing In Moderation. Her sets are known for their psychedelic dynamism—her selection, with which she prioritizes "energy and drama over genre," often flits from rolling low-end music, uptempo tracks (that she then slows all the way down) and wonky leftfield beats. 

"It would be hard to overstate how much Nowadays is part of my story at this point, personally and professionally," Voices told RA in the following interview. Her approach to assembling this mix she recorded for us makes that abundantly clear. The mix she recorded for RA—which sprawls out over almost three hours—features tracks that she has either played in her five-year tenure at Nowadays or that she plans to play there in the future. She organized the set in a similar way to the way she goes about her Nowadays sets. She kicks off with fast and nimble bass music ("I like to start fast in hopes of people dancing half-time"), then transitions into a knotty web of dubstep and bright percussive tracks and closes with weightless jungle. The playlist she sourced from to create this mix featured music from every Nowadays resident. It's this same thoughtfulness and meticulous attention to detail that has made her a household name in her local scene.

@livwutang has really arrived on the world stage in the last year. The Seattle-raised, NYC-based artist came up through DIY raves and pirate radio and is now a regular at cult clubs and festivals across North America, as well as being booked in for next year's Dekmantel Selectors. Her sound freely moves between dub, Central and West Africa rhythms and a history of Black American music. All this comes out in her widescreen sets, her curation of the Eto Ano label and her hosting of their show on The Lot Radio.  

The confidence of her selections and ability to shift through moods from the serene to the deep, the energetic to the melodic is evident in this week's mix. It slowly works through the gears from dubbed-out depths to buoyant club rhythms via tribal techno. There is an ever-present mysticism and spirituality that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the body-popping rhythms and it's that which will keep you coming back for more.

The second entry in a series of living documents of momentum

Manifested live at Nowadays in New York City from 3am-6am the morning of June 27 2022

Euphoric kinetic connection embraces disorder inside the void, as we smile & dance toward anamnesis together

Destroy what destroys you & never stop loving one another

Natural's the way you should love
Feel the joy, elevate
It's the way we sway, riding waves eternally
Elevating me, through sky and sea
It's the calming breeze, whispering through the trees
Feel it push you, releasing love from every view
It's the way we sway in elemental harmony
Serenading me
Move so naturally
The moon, the stars
The sky & the sea
Why don't you follow me?
To a place
Where we can be free again
Natural, where I want to be

Thanks to Nowadays staff & everyone who danced & did their thing! This was a special moment in time & has brought me a lot of joy to listen back to since then. I hope it can do the same for any of you who listen.
