For her Crack Mix, upsammy’s architectural and shape-shifting approach to sound is in full force. “This mix is more on the percussive and clubby side of my sound,” she tells us, “focussing on a flow between adventurous rhythms with playful high frequencies, eccentric kicks and ambiguous tones”.

Honcho Podcast Series 116: Furtive

One name that's been floating around the UK and beyond is Dj ojo !! 
A talent that all must know and hear. Joe aka Dj ojo is an artist, DJ and producer based in London. He first caught our attention back in 2021 releasing on Accidental Meetings first Compilation with a progressive, organic and emotive track called Mycelial, which set the tone for what was to come. Next releasing on Pressure Dome, Joe was able to create senses we never knew we had and leave us with hair standing on all parts. His music has really made an internally positive impact in the industry. His debut EP 'Coiled Up', released on Blank Mind, was a weird and cozy dose of 4 uniquely structured tracks that stunned us all. 
Joe not only produces but also Co runs 'Avant garbage' with legendary k means on Netail radio every month offering the most obscure sounds for your ears. He is also a resident on Leeds based station, NARR radio.
We are stoked to have Joe join Cozi with his one hour of dubby infused, house which was his first musical love!


Interview..........

1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?

"I've been making music on and off since my teens but it was only about 3 years ago when i started taking it a bit more seriously. I also played drums when i was younger, and i've enjoyed making sounds and rhythms since as long as i can remember, so in some ways producing music felt inevitable. But there was still a massive mental hurdle just to start actually doing it properly. As for DJing, I guess thats just the natural progression from hogging the aux cord at house parties and friends cars. The music is a bit different these days though..."

2. Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?

"I think there are a variety of things that can make a gig cosy, a few experiences stick out for me... hearing Dozzy play slow deep house and techno feels like receiving a big warm hug; going to small and homely venues like Spanners is comforting, even if the music is not; ambient yurts at festivals often offer cosy outlets amongst the chaos - freerotation has the best one i've seen so far. Generally speaking London and the UK could definitely do with more venues focused primarily on comfort."

3.Are you an introvert or extrovert in the industry?

"Honestly it depends on my surroundings, overall i guess probably neutral. If i'm in a comfortable space surrounded by friends, then i like to express myself and make new connections. But i also value my solitude very highly and i like to be alone, even in the club from time to time. So if you see me out and i'm acting awkwardly that's probably why 😶‍🌫️"

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?

maus & stolle - bubble on. stick it on at the afters and watch everyone wobble and melt

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? do you have any special remedies/ mental prep/ places to go to? :)

"If i'm working on some music at home, i like to get into it early in the day if possible. I'll make a coffee and smoothie and prepare my desk area into a calming arrangement. I think most of the best music i've written has been first thing in the morning actually.

Preparing for a DJ gig is more of a gradual process of trying to picture myself in the environment, imagine how i'll feel, and choose a range of music accordingly. Then before the gig, eat a big bowl of pasta and try to not feel too anxious! "

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Heyyyy I’m Roy, He / Him, I’m based in South-East London

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Watersign by a country mile. It’s the only party keeping it real imo. Hot bookings, always a sexy vibe inside. Lineup is secret until the day of. A must-attend if you’re in town <3

What movie would you pick to do the score for?

Can I choose Surfs Up?

If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

Print making 🙂

It’s a beautiful artform with so many possibilities. I would love to dive deeper.

Track that makes you think about being in water…

I have a playlist for this! I think I'll go with LTD Colours – Messy Objects, from their Patterns EP.

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

I think a more unionised approach to the scene would be nice. Solidarity and mutual aid – in regard to uplifting and platforming our peers.
