Mix Archive

An audiovisual set for Currents.fm’s “COMMON Multiverse Initiative” streaming festival in March 2021. I sourced video clips from around the internet and created a collage exploring ideas of decomposition & regeneration set to a matching DJ set, drawing inspiration from Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s book "The Mushroom at the End of the World".

Juanita's Mix 059 with Lychee @Lycheefrut

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Born again dance music enthusiast - I've been trying in the post-lockdown era to refocus on being a dancer and a fan and exposing myself to serendipity and the things that made me fall in love with dance music in the first place. A bigger scene like NYC can make you jaded fast if you don't protect and cultivate those parts of yourself, I think.  

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I first started coming to NYC from Boston for more dubstep/bass-oriented events around 2011 - some standouts: Joker, Skream, Benga at Terminal 5; Caspa and Rusko at Webster Hall (lol); acts like Kuedo and Zomby at Glasslands Gallery, an electroclash rave in Chinatown that I have no idea who was DJing or promoting. At that time I wouldn't say I was part of any kind of community here, I usually rode the Chinatown bus or Bolt Bus (RIP) down for a night and took another bus back early in the morning so I wouldn't have to find lodging. 

I think I started finding community here back around 2015 or 2016 at clubs like Bossa and raves like Groovy Groovy where I'd see the same people again and again. Fourth World 2017 was the party that really made me decide I had to live here eventually. I moved to Brooklyn at the beginning of 2018, and in many ways I only really feel like I've begun to find my place here now.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I had a general idea in mind for this mix that I wanted it to be romantic, but weird. I was thinking about things like friendships with romantic elements; weird sex or cuddling on psychedelics when you're not actually sure if you have a body; unrequited forbidden crushes; flirty dancing around someone for an entire night without needing it to become anything more. I recorded it shortly after the Halloween weekend daytime moment with Todd Edwards playing at Nowadays Nonstop, which I found so fun and romantic with diffused pink lighting that made it feel like the sunrise never ended, so I think that moment influenced this mix as well.

Lychee ☀ Sunrise at Locked Groove ☀ 11.13.2021

My first DJ experiences were as a radio DJ on my college radio station back in 2007 - 2011, when my music taste ranged from more indie sounds, to HypeMachine remixes, to some of my earlier forays into dance music. Lately I've been trying to dig back deeper into my library and connect the dots between various influences. 

For this mix that first aired on 9/25 for @KEXP's 'Midnight In a Perfect World' radio series, I tried embrace the radio format to mix some sounds from disparate eras of my musical progression, and to reminisce about my early days as a radio DJ.

Lychee | HÖR - Jun 15 / 2023

Based in NYC, and with a background as a DJ, writer, and event organizer, Lychee's (@lycheefrut) underground energy is evident in every set they craft. With regular appearances at Basement, Nowadays, and Bossa Nova Civic Club, Lychee also runs Spontaneous Affinity, a monthly mix and interview series and occasional event platform, and the label Unimatrix Zero, as well as serving on the board for the Aslice Foundation.

Drawing inspiration from recent musical explorations at Nowadays in NYC in particular, Lychee's Patterns of Perception 116 showcases a return to their musical foundations in hypnotic, dubby, wormholey techno. Embracing a more focused, classic feel than many of their recent dancefloor explorations, this mix infuses a sense of narrative and evolution, effortlessly blending darkness and light, corporeality and sentimentality.

Avant Gardens 03: Lychee (Calathea)

Avant Gardens 04: Sanguinaria

Special 90-minute edition with a recording from Buckle Up Baby at Bossa on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 - dreamy liquidy dnb adjacent sounds for a night focused on fast breaks. The Strelitzia flower was chosen for this episode because of a memory of one of these flowers that once adorned the Bossa DJ booth, and sometimes represents paradise, freedom, and exploration. 

Avant Gardens 05: Strelitzia [Lychee live at Bossa]

FADA2EYAT’s last episode of the year is a special one for me, because none other than Brooklyn pillar and multifaceted artist Lychee takes charge!

Lychee was one of the first DJs to inspire me when I started going out. They’re known for deep, psychedelic selections, and an immaculate sense of whatever room they’re playing demands.  

Their extensive connection to the dancefloor is merely logic — it goes way beyond DJing! They organize community events, are staff member at Nowadays and The Bunker, and even hosted their own mix and interview series Spontaneous Affinity, which focuses on the communal nature of dancefloors. They’re also part of highly influential Brooklyn collective Antidote and were a board member of the Aslice foundation.
 
Tonight, rather than have us dancing knees to the floor, they take us on an elaborate space voyage that’s intended for radio listening.

—————————————
Words from Lychee:

Years back, I made a mix for UK DJ collective SIREN that was my take on a "climate fiction" - I don't think that mix is online anymore, but I really enjoyed the exercise of thinking about a narrative and then creating a mix to soundtrack that narrative.

It's been a while since l've done this explicitly, so I approached this mix with a similar constraint in mind.

This time, I was thinking about human patterns of darkness, exploration, hope, and the way our worst tendencies repeat cycles of destruction. Initially this was a sci-fi soundtrack concept, in response to the extraterrestrial theme of the FADAZEYAT series - space colonialism, a narrative of trying to leave one ruined planet and start fresh but destroying again through industrialization, capitalism, disconnection from nature.

Ultimately I think this mix took on a more personal angle though - the ways we enact similar patterns on a micro-scale every day and the constant effort it takes to resist tendencies toward disposability, comfort, etc.
For radio, l've been self-imposing a constraint where I don't re-record - any radio mix you hear from me, even if it's recorded at home, is a one-take studio mix. So there are a couple imperfect moments, but I'm still happy with the way this one turned out and I think this mix ended up offering some closure to the year for me. Hopefully it can do something similar for someone else 💗

✖ counterspell ✖

what good is a counterspell without a hex? it's been a minute since i've posted a peak-time mix and i don't feel like i have many mixes online that i can send to new people as demos for playing out, so here's the most TECHNO recording i've done in a while.

anyway pls book me for yr afters? <3

recorded in my room where there is some annoying reverb, so forgive a few dodgy mixes. 4ever trying not to let perfectionism get in the way of making things public!

"In contemporary American self-help literature, the magic word is healing. The term refers to self-optimization that is supposed to therapeutically eliminate any and all functional weakness or mental obstacle in the name of efficiency and performance. Yet perpetual self-optimization, which coincides point-for-point with the optimization of the system, is proving destructive. It is leading to mental collapse. Self-optimization, as it turns out, amounts to total self-exploitation."

☻ optimization / exploitation ☻

the last dancefloor moment before the quarantine started, for me and maybe also for some of you /// some imperfections but a moment i find myself holding onto

thanks to the dancers and to @thelongcountcycle for letting me be part of their 7 year (!!) anniversary and @lovetm for the cover photo [w/ lights by Kip Davis] ~ recorded the morning of 3.7.2020

stay safe and take care of each other <3
