Instalment 10 is a live recording from a recent guest of ours, Kate Miller. The Naarm artist delivered 2 hours of power at The Shed earlier this year.

Much love to Kate for allowing us to share this gorgeous mix with you all.

Lezure is a collective from Glasgow which has since risen to prominence in numerous cities. Energetic, fun filled parties with a focus on spotlighting both local and international DJ’s to great effect.

Over the years they have booked and supported a steady stream of artists who have since gone on to do great things. Lezure as a collective are very much tastemakers in their own right.

From a musical perspective the sounds that they have pushed are pretty broad – however it has never necessarily been about hype and the importance of each guest and their approach to DJ’ing remains pivotal in making the party what it is.

Calum, aka Sloan, is one of the key figures behind the long running party series and brings with him a reputable array of knowledge across a broad spectrum of Electronic music.

When we saw the tracklist for this one we were pretty stoked as we feel it represents both the proper thinking sensibilities of the Lezure crew as much as it does the party orientated gang they are known for.

Josh Caffé, a staunch advocate of the old school, a top-tier selector, and a true artist in every sense of the word. Josh embodies the essence of the golden era of house and techno like few others, and this mix serves as a prime example.

At this point, Shy One might be familiar to most music fans as one of the hosts of NTS's daily breakfast show, Soup To Nuts, where she helps listeners across the UK and Europe settle into their morning routines with an eclectic and soulful selection of dance music and downtempo. But the London artist has been around a lot longer than that, with a discography that goes back well over a decade. 

She started releasing music as a regular on Scratcha DVA's label, and it was there that she sketched out a recognizable but impressively varied approach rooted in her home base of London. On her records, Shy One sometimes feels like London incarnate, synthesizing the histories of Black British dance music—drum & bass, grime, UK funky, broken beat, jazz, you name it—into one syncretic and immensely appealing sound. But her music glows with the warmth of American deep house, too, which lends it a timeless, ageless quality that has proven immensely appealing. She furthers this mission with Private World, a party she started with Ruby Savage. The name kind of says it all: she's inviting you to her own personal space, but what awaits is a whole wide world of music and culture.

Her RA Podcast feels like a hybrid between a club DJ set and her morning show, and here, she zeroes in on a the lineage of American house music from the '90s and beyond, featuring tracks from the likes of Green Velvet, Marcellus Pittman, Roy Davis Jr., Wbeeza, Jay Daniel and more, plus a spotlight from Baltimore club king DJ Technics. It's patient and easygoing but perfect for a small dance floor (or a livingroom party), focused but stylistically diverse. It's everything we've come to expect from an artist like Shy One, who weaves stories and histories with her DJ sets, and does it effortlessly, too.

For extended Q&A... please visit our website ----> pipipi.life <----

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hi! My name is Sam aka Samwise. I’m a selector/DJ, A&R, curator, promoter, and eternal raver. My pronouns are He/Him. I’m currently based in Los Angeles, but spend a considerable amount of time in London as well.

Describe your DJ set up in full detail?

My home setup consists of 2x Technics 1200 MKII turntables (internally grounded) as I like to have the freedom to play both vinyl and digital records, an Allen & Heath XONE 92 mixer (sorry to my V10 bbs but team XONE 100p), and 2x Pioneer XDJ-700 cdjs (I prefer having older CDJs for my home setup because they do nothing for you (technically speaking) and force you to play by ear. Ideal for practicing + warm ups.

3 adjectives that start with the same letter to describe your vibe?

Serendipitous
Sanguine
Sassy

Favorite movie and why? 

Darron Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream. I love bold, esoteric, analytical films with a dark and preferably psychological tinge. Aronofsky is the best of the best at this in my view, and this film remains his most poignant work. 


Listen to the moment at 45 min mark in your PI mix… describe how it makes you feel? 

This moment makes me feel solid, rooted, and hopeful. For me, recording mixes is a cathartic and therapeutic process that largely reflects an experience that I’ve gone through. This particular mix is really important to me on a personal level because I recorded it shortly after I uncovered a deeply rooted childhood trauma. The progression of the mix echoes the process of integrating this trauma into my life – in other words, realizing the way this has informed my way of living/behaving and how to move forward with the knowledge that it happened. The 45 min mark is the point at which I am able to shift away from being introspective and somber, and towards a newfound ability to be hopeful and rooted again.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community? 

I’d love to see more musical diversity and openness from DJs, promoters, and attendees alike. I think we made a lot of progress breaking down musical boundaries post-Covid, but we still have a long way towards destroying musical pretentiousness. Dance music is about connection and togetherness in all forms, period!

"For this mix I went for a few leftfield selections, focussing more on the mix as an entirety rather than a collection of songs. 

It still got the signature high tempo rave feel to it but I added a lot of selections which wouldn't always get a play on the dancefloor.

 It's dissonant, it's bassy, it's groovy baby."
