For the 18th edition of our mix series we are joined by a revered breakthrough of recent years, @ciel_dj.

A key figure on and off the dancefloor, Toronto-based Ciel has been an ever growing force on the electronic scene. Spearheading the female focused Work In Progress collective and co-founding the touted Parallel Minds imprint, she has helped bring diversity, safety and representation into the clubs whilst also working with advocacy groups to change the city’s laws to be more favourable towards creative ventures. Pushing a distinctive sound that is characterised by a club-focused blend of deep and energetic contrasts, she showcases why she is one to watch with a standout mix for the Junction 2 series.

Here is what Ciel had to say about the mix:

“This mix was inspired by 1) clubs reopening 2) my love of cheesy tech house wafters and 3) a desire to present the most authentic version of myself as a DJ. I think most Djs have very complicated feelings about making mixes, the process of premeditating a mix at home away from an audience and the insatiable drive for perfection can both be very anxiety-inducing. So I chose to do as little planning as possible, seeking instead a truly spontaneous recording experience with zero plan and nothing more than 2 USBs full of bangers. The result is a high energy 90-minute trip into trancey house, techy rollers, dub techno, and minimal-UKG tools. Play this on your way back to the club.”

A few words from Evita [@la_dolc_evita] about her mix...
 
This mix unfolds like a lucid dream on the verge of breaking—familiar, yet forever just out of reach.  Melodies drift through vast, empty rooms; basslines rise like fog from the ground, slow and enveloping.  It’s the sound of falling in love with a moment you know won’t last, and dancing with its ghost long after it’s gone.

I met Meg through a mix she did for Trushmix, where I enjoyed her sound as well as her selection of records. So after that I started listening to her shows for Balamii Radio where I found a lot of music that made me feel a lot <3.

So I decided to invite her to the mix series and here she is with a new mix for Esencia with some of her favorite 90's and 00's records she found in her favorite stores in London and Brighton.

"This mix weaves together a variety of melodic, proggy, percussive, and techy sounds.  I leaned into the kind of euphoric, high-energy vibe I naturally gravitate toward in both my DJ sets and productions, with a few left turns along the way!"
