Renowned illustrator EZ.Naive reminds us with her LiT MiX 026 that she is also a wicked DJ! This may come as a surprise to those who know her via visual art, and even for long-time fans of her slow jams sets, but wow can she ever select and mix high-energy club music... This set is a great fit for workouts, creative flow, and warehouse raving if and when that’s still a thing (prayer hands). After a year and a half of pandemic restrictions here in Canada, EZ.Naive is here to remind us of how good it will feel to dance together again soon.

With a knack for juxtaposing jacking industrial club sounds with organic hip-twisting instrumentation and soulful vocals, her up-tempo selections here span a decade of 130-bpm dancefloor destroyers in the post-dubstep meta-rave realms of hybrid global techno-bass, 2-step garage house and breaks. 
 
We are so honoured that after a year of drawing Light Twerkerz LiT MiX covers, EZ.Naive has stepped up to join our series of selectors in recording her first DJ set in years, all without skipping a beat. And as such a prolific portrait artist of others, she has now passed the baton, ermmm, stylus and tablet to our new illustrator Sadé's Studio who has drawn her in a stunning power pose. 

Originally from Greece and now living in Vancouver, EZ.Naive is a passionate advocate for social justice and the environment, mental health, body autonomy and freedom of expression. Follow her socials for gorgeous art and fierce politics, support her by purchasing prints, accessories and home decor from her online store, and donate to fund Vancouver Mutual Aid programs. Oh yeah and get ready to sweat to EZ.Naive's LiT Mix!

@UmbralSound
Host of Umbral's monthly mix series on sub.fm [Every 4th Sunday: 4-6 PM MST]

Passage (better known in the community as Whitney Caine) is an emerging DJ and producer from Edmonton, Canada. Making connections on the decks as much as she does on the dance floor, her sound creates balance with paradox -- sustained by a foundation of deep bass and rolling breaks.

Whitney is an ever-growing representative of the Umbral Sound System crew, including the host and curator of Umbral’s monthly mix series on Sub FM. As diverse as she is cohesive, Passage juxtaposes grimey and ethereal elements, her underground tastes infused with a pop sensibility all her own.
