Take a trip this week with @lycheefrut as they send us down the rabbit hole with a psychedelic mix for your ears!

//about the mix
"This mix is inspired by some of the darker, more techno-oriented parties I've DJed recently - specifically in Brooklyn at Basement and for Yearn at Trans-Pecos, where I feel like I was basking in the afterglow of the trippy-but-playful energy of No Way Back and The Bunker parties in Detroit in May. It still feels like a bit of a novelty to create mixes based on in-person dancefloors again and it's nice to be able to connect some of these tracks and blends to specific moments and memories that I can feel viscerally in my body."

//about the artist
“Lychee is a thoughtful, bubbly raveworld fixture. A colorful and perpetually exploratory DJ and event organizer, they manifest underground energy with a magical, scintillating take on technoid psychedelia and relentless, meaningful inquiry. Lychee elegantly runs Spontaneous Affinity (@spontaneousaffinity), a monthly mix and interview series, annual zine, and occasional event platform. A voracious reader and writer, they ever-thoughtfully explore human experience and interconnectedness through words, soundwaves, and the expansive, wobbling pulse of the dancefloor.” -words by Furtive

Lychee got their start as a radio DJ for WMFO, Tufts' college radio station, in 2007. Since starting to play out in 2012, they have played alongside artists like Takaaki Itoh, Objekt, Rrose, Legowelt, Claude Young, and Honey Soundsystem. In addition to playing out, Lychee has organized DJ/producer skillshare events, taught DJ workshops, and curated a speaker event about inclusivity in music technology.

"Recovering - rest in healing. I wasn’t aware how much I needed it before it happened. Healing through becoming. Outside and inside. I can see myself, feel myself, starting to know myself - better than ever before. Touch myself, touch my body and my soul. 

This mix is giving you soft, ambient textures with massaging basslines and sensual vocals. She will hug you and hold you. It’s time - to heal." - @mxpinky

Thank you to all the organizers, performers, listeners and especially to @faited and crew for the sound.

"To me, this mix feels like being in the midst of a psychedelic thunderstorm. At times, it feels like the sky is about to fall and the earth is about to crack open, but it comes and goes in cycles. There are moments that seem to suddenly spit you out into a cerebral fog, and as the clouds break, you're in awe of yourself & your capacity for existence. Sub-bass frequencies roll through like thunder claps, stirring up innate, carnal energy. Syncopated, twisted, ethereal rhythms encourage you to completely lose yourself. I wanted to capture the feeling of moving through moments of intensity and coming out on the other side, feeling relief while still preparing to ride the next wave."

Mx. Blaire is drawn to the magic that’s released when humans convene together. Organizing events in Boston, she strives to curate environments where folks can release their inhibitions for true self-expression and encourage celebration of radical love. She is an organizer and one of the resident DJs of the Queer dance collective, Boudoir.

They like to float through multiple genres during any given set and find joy moving through different sonic textures while keeping a fluid groove. They let their emotions flow through in sets to open up a conversation with listeners and dancers alike. A humble guide for helping healing bass tones and rejuvenating frequencies pass through speakers.

More emerging talent out of Montreal comes in the shape of fast-rising DJ & selector Lis Dalton. Having been intro'd to the Lobster family by Dust-e-1, Lis' solidly-blended sets and knack for a break-y earworm has led to her recording being hammered in the office.

Between key gigs on the Montreal circuit (supporting Yaeji and hitting highly-respectable festivals Piknic Electronik & Shaker Mountain) she's contributed mixes for Bake's Rinse FM show (alongside regular booth mate DJ Frog) as well as an other worldly Graphite Publications set.

This Lobster mix is a dream-world of percussive breaks and sizzling rhythms. Blended, baked and arranged to a T! Lis has rocketed up our list of ones to watch, let's hope she comes to Europe some time soon :)

Words from the artist...

"I recorded this mix in a very blissed out and mellow mood. Maybe good music to sit and ponder the order of the universe, or just take in that earth is a nice little home, or maybe just stare out your window and think about nothing in particular, kind of like your dog does when you're not home. It includes both some old and new favorites of mine, all music that has moved me in one way or another... to tears even. Thanks to all beings whose musical contributions made this mix."
