Ashland Mines, AKA Total Freedom, AKA Big Gay Idiot DJ, AKA Bobby Beethoven, is one of the best and most influential DJs of the 21st century. Starting out at pioneering parties like Mustache Mondays and Wildness (which he cofounded with Wu Tsang)—and a regular at GHE20G0TH1K—Mines helped to define the style that would become known, however cringe-inducingly, as experimental club or deconstructed club, directly inspiring fellow visionaries like Arca. 

Like some of the best DJs before him, Mines uses the CDJs as an instrument, but that doesn't mean just fancy tricks and looping. Instead, he artfully throws together clashing sounds—effects, samples, monologues, pop and R&B acapellas, and beats that run the gamut from dancehall to kuduro to breaks and techno. He's not afraid of the grotesquerie of human life and movement (just check out the monologue at the beginning of this mix), and he likes to push buttons. Once he put on a party where dancing wasn't allowed. Some of his sets are intentionally anxiety-inducing, evoking horror movies and modern classical composers like Penderecki, while others are bouncy and ebullient, weaving between genres and tempos like an old-school platformer. The best are both.

On Mines's RA Podcast—a milestone 900th in the series—he shows off this inimitable style, sharpened and reinforced over a decade-and-a-half of playing some of the world's best parties, fashion shows, you name it. He's the kind of DJ who creates his own music as he goes along. He makes you hear old tracks—especially pop music and R&B—in a whole new way. Titled "Cursed Piercing," this is a near-hour of controlled chaos that'll confound you at one moment and deeply move you the next.

NTS - mobilegirl 15th February 2024

mobilegirl is a DJ and producer based in Berlin. Her style behind the booth focuses on creating a highly energetic dance floor that allows for emotionality, for softer moments but also attention-demanding breaks and shifts. An equally fun and challenging combination that gained her traction very early on in her career and established her as an artist to watch in experimental club music – bringing about tours across Europe, East Asia and North America and a spot on the roster of DISCWOMAN. 
Reflecting her general curiosity mobilegirl's inspirations draw from a broad pool that intentionally make her rather difficult to categorise. However, she has made a name for herself through club edits of R&B classics; a predilection for which draws through all of her work. Another influence, not less apparent, are video game scores. Her fascination with the repetitive and soothing effect of music in RPGs accordingly set the foundation for her debut EP "Poise" released in 2017 - a string of tracks that at that time seemed untypically mellow but were created in an effort to decelerate and invite the listener to do the same. This project turned mobilegirl's inspiration into praxis. It opened up the doors for her to shift her focus towards scores of films, art installations and fashion shows the years after, while remaining a force on the dance floor. 

"The entire mix is a nest for POiSON GiRL FRiEND - Hardly Ever Smile (Without You) to sit right in the middle."

Bristol producer and visual artist @munsing shares a mix that will make your head fizz.

"The aim of the mix was to create this super focussed and fun distraction, like when you're in the club and you're determined not to let any of the outside world in. You're watching the DJ and your head is like fizzing with ideas and you want to stay distracted forever! I often find i write a lot of music in my head whilst watching other people DJ. So here's some fun club music featuring some artists i respect a lot, plus a bit of K pop and Basement Jaxx cos it wouldn't feel like me without it."

For this week’s episode of CENTER BOOTH we’re delighted to share a start-to-finish thrill ride from one of the most exciting artists working today: estoc. The Philadelphia-based DJ and producer is well known for her dazzling, highly inventive sets, intricate, compelling releases spanning the gamut of genres, startling, often hilarious mash-ups and edits, and uncompromising politics that are the lifeblood of her art. 

Her visceral, take no prisoners approach to DJing has seen her summoned to play transgressive techno parties all over the US, Europe, the UK, Asia and Australia, while her latest LP, Are We Doomed To Bow Down To The Stupid And Cruel? is a growling, guttural response to fascism, colonization and other craven ideologies.

Her CENTER BOOTH set, which plays in a live and compositional fashion, comes from that same place of staunch resistance, both a source of release and fuel for the ongoing fight. It’s hypnotic not in its repetition but in its restlessness, a disorienting rollercoaster of cacophony, distortion and aggressive melodies.

The effect is something like strapping in for a full throttle VR experience, a quest soundtracked by creeping pads, all manner of belligerent percussion, itchy snares and the full kitchen sink of FX. Featured artists include DJ Plead, WTCHCRFT, Dave Quam, estoc herself on remix duties, and the Prodigy, overlaid with extra thundering drums. We’d call it a masterclass but estoc is an artist who simply can’t be imitated.

Hey!

Your favourite SoundCloud rapper is back with the monthly EP release. Once again, I’m bringing you a club-oriented pack filled with heat. This time it’s 4 club-ready tracks plus a bonus one — an unreleased song from last year.

A few years ago I was only making electro. That’s when I first got fascinated by synthesizers. I guess things came full circle, because now I’m back to being obsessed with them. With this project I wanted to focus on synths and melodies, creating something you can truly lose yourself in.

Tracklist:
1. The Escape (Intro)
2. I’m Lost
3. Escape
4.Heat
5.AW SHIT (DIRTY MIX) (2024 UNRELEASED)

The full project is up now on my Bandcamp and SoundCloud pages.

Also, starting next week I’ll be teaching DJing at Instyt Dźwięku in the N29 studio. Can’t wait to see you there! :)
