Hemmed OUT – by peoplelikeusdj

Most of us in our everyday life find ourselves hemmed in.  Hemmed in by expectations of friends and family, hemmed in by societal norms and traditions, where the consequences of stepping outside of these hemmed in boundaries seem too unsure to try something different.

As with the sharing of music, especially in clubs, there seems to be a prevalence of “playing it safe” hemmed in by the perceived expectations of the dancefloor to feed them wall to wall bangers, keeping the energy high in fear of losing the dancefloor.  The smoking area is now an additional foe in this battle for attention – the increasing short attention of this smartphone generation we all find ourselves victims of in some way or another.

As a result, rarely am I taken by surprise by a DJ in a club setting – once the first few records are played through the Soundsystem we tend to know what to expect for the next few hours, what sounds, what tempo and what we will be made or invited to feel.  

Hemmed in by bpm, genre, and the requirement to please the dancers.  Of course, this can be lots of fun for all involved but at the end of a club DJ set, I’m often left feeling like there was something missing…

This hemmed OUT series of shows for Mutant Radio looks to begin to explore different dancefloor possibilities, to begin to unpick, unstitch the lines of dancefloor expectations that have been sewn…

…to invite the dancefloor to moments of wonky undefined genre sounds, to explore what this does to our bodies, ambient moments that are sometimes serene, euphoric, peaceful that can also be read with dark undertones – moments that make you want to lie prostrate or curl up in a ball…moments before or after dancing frenetic to sounds that call for this.  

hemmed OUT looks to play with tempo, pitch, volume, and multiple layering and invites you to come on this journey, let your ears, your minds and bodies be hemmed OUT…just for a moment.

For those interested: the mix was recorded in one-take, at 2am when very tired…a conscious stream with no more planning than putting a bag/folder together containing the sound pallets I wanted to maybe include.  Playing off 2 x CDJ2000NXS (linked) with 1 x Technics mk2, all linked into a Mastersounds Radius Valve DJ mixer.

Posting up the first hour and a half (thanks, shitty recorder) of my 6.5 hour set at Tresor/Globus' "Aurora Bar", which is envisioned as a sorta chill out vibey space that can serve as a respite from the more chaotic dancefloors.

This starts with ambient, goes into some deep artsy house and techno, some downtempo, some digidub, and some other stuff. Enjoy!

Live at Aurora Bar - 1 March 2023

Outsiders: Glossy Mistakes w/ Melles & xandru @ Kiosk Radio 02.05.2023

Recorded a mix for Laib Und Seele Records on Netil radio.  Expect a dark, percussion heavy mix where I explore the territories of experimental sounds. With a keen focus on deep percussion, thriving beats and hypnotic rhythms I tried to challenge the listener to experience sound in ever-changing ways. With a dedication to sonic exploration, this set becomes a journey through multiple elements, blending polyrhythms, ambient textures and breaks to construct an immersive sonic landscape.

Farewell to summer...a Hugo Girls production. 

The paun ambient series are twice-annual DJ sets first realized in 2020. Thanks to a diverse selection of featured artists and sub-genres, the series can be considered a study on the ethereal edges of music. 

Our second guest mix comes from Tina Marie fka @b0ssmentality, a Zürich-based landscape architect and current resident DJ at Kasheme with roots in Cameroon, Madagascar and Canada. Having resided in Switzerland for the past 5 years, she recently co-founded Planting Solidarity, an international collective that promotes food and land solidarity through collective knowledge exchange, participatory research, and the facilitation of events/workshops. Her first ambient mix is inspired by this summer's explorations; a journey through the intersections of healing and landscapes that blurs daydreams and reality. 

Tina Marie Mix Tracklist (First 30 mins):
1. Arushi Jain - My People Have Deep Roots
2. Carmen Villain - Light in Phases
3. Suso Saiz - Looking You in Silence
4. Nala Sinephro - Space 1
