Kasra's long-standing residency on NTS Radio is a firm favourite here at HQ. His selections aren't bound by any particular genre, constantly shifting and evolving as the mood strikes - whether catering for mainroom dancefloors or intimate retreats, his signature sound is ever-present as this mix clearly demonstrates. We're humbled to welcome him to our series with mix 259 - we'll the music do the talking from here...

Mayss did not have much to say and I’m still redacting my graduation ceremony speech that took place two weeks ago thus I’ll keep it short. Mayss has a big heart and I like crossing her in the streets cuz she radiates hope despite we both living in a city where dreams come to die lol. So if in 2022 Mayss still finds love and inspiration in the art then i'll act accordingly and continue to find  love and inspiration in the arts. Other than that it is a pretty dope mix; listened  to it on repeat while re-potting the tomatoes in the garden; I do hope  they felt the cosmic frequencies of the mix while I handled them and they’ll thrive and become stallion tomatoes cuz I already invited her over to taste the harvest in 8-to-10 weeks. Today it’s also summer solstice and indigenous day so tune-in to the mix an honour ur place in the universe I’d say.

enjoy the summer <3

A long time coming, the third and last installment of NHJ's "No, I" mix series. 
6 years on and our protagonist is still paying the mortgage… along with child support and now victim restitution, stemming from an unhappy ‚ misunderstanding’ whilst waiting for a Żabka hotdog.

NO, I? 3  ||  2023

We welcome our next guest. Berwick is a Sheffield by Bristol DJ and producer focused on esoteric, rave-infused sounds encompassing a dance floor and environments that have inspired his music. His style runs through various BPMs and blends ambience and bliss into sharp electro, techno and breaks. Berwick is the co-founder of INDECENCY, a DIY party that hosts live electronic acts and DJs. With a release on SSS records getting support from Bambounou, Solid Blake, Lena Willikens, Anastasia Kristensen and many more high-calibre artists, Berwick is lining up for more sharp electro releases later on in the year. Berwick’s recent release on More Cowbell has had support from Blumitsu, Lena Willikens and Re:ni whilst also getting premiered by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 6. His latest project brings drum machines and a modular synth together to create an hour of fun-fuelled electro and techno with wobbly, acid lines and hard percussion that keep crowds moving.

Which artists has influenced you the most? 

- I’ve taken a lot of influence across a range of different genres to be honest. My sound and production style has an analog, electro tinge which I think has been guided by some magnificent artists like Radioactive Man, Surgeons Girl, Machine Woman, Karenn, Neil Landstrumm, Barker and so many others, I could really go on and on.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future? 

- I’ve got two releases set to come out from September onwards which I’m really excited about. The two tracks are a bit of a different style for me but I’m really happy with how they have turned out and the labels and artists I’ll be alongside are artists I find really inspiring. My main focus at the moment is my live set. I’ll be debuting it on Rinse FM really soon and the taking off to a few festivals in the UK.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now? 

- There’s some incredible labels that I’ve been digging into recently but to be honest I’m still so addicted to bbbbbb, Voam, Fever Am and Kalahari Oyster Cult. My goal is to work up to potentially releasing on one of these in the near future!

What inspires you now to create music? 

- Sooo many inspirations, being out in nature is probably one of the biggest for me. If I can find time throughout the week to walk, run or swim then I know it’s like a creative boost/reset for me. Equally gigs and festivals. Seeing other people shine and create an atmosphere is incredibly inspiring and usually after being in something like that I’m straight into the studio and creating sounds.

What set-up do you use when creating music?

- Currently I’m using some Elektron gear, so I use the Analog Rytm, Syntakt and the Octatrack and then I have the modular system which is a wonderful sound design tool. I’ve been building up the modular synth for quite a while now and swapped quite a few things in and out but I think I’ve found a set up that really works for me. And of course Ableton, everything goes into Ableton but it’s also nice to spend a bit of time just in the DAW, I try and switch it up quite a bit and resample lots in Ableton.

After an unforgettable 2013 which saw makeSHIFT bring the ruckus to the warehouses of Ap Lei Chau, the basements of Sheung Wan, the South China Sea and a secret festival amongst others, 2014 is shaping up to be an even bigger year for HK's hedonistic party starters.
