Setting the tone for the other side of the Missed Connections series, co-founder zi! takes you on an introspective and meditative journey, ideal for this winter day. 

We believe it is important to showcase both dance and longform listening music, and show how they are not mutually exclusive. 

We hope you like it :)

A portion of my opening set before upsammy for my Nowadays residency.

>> Zooming in on the details, going hard on the textures. Vivid and glistening, delicate but not fragile, dizzy without losing our ground. Hidden messages sent angular and sideways. Distance makes the heart grow psychedelic <<

Live @ Nowadays // Opening before upsammy - March 4 2023

Notes on the Mix ///

"When I prepare a mix, I often pick one idea and expand on it for the whole session. This one explores a combination of bass, breaks, percussion, with elements of dub and world music. This sound just makes my body dance; it has something akin to the beats I grew up dancing to, melded with the more forward thinking production I find myself leaning into on today's dancefloors. Hope u enjoy<3"

TT w/ zi! on NTS

"the inspiration for this mix came from a special afterparty where i DJ’d after a rave i had co-organized in montreal last october. i had spent most of the night dealing with the cops and got a fine for noise. once at the afterparty, i got to channel my frustration into music; i played dub techno for hours. to me, the airy but deep grooves of that music provide space for both introspection and release. hope you feel it too."

Juanita's Mix 34 with CCL @ccl-url

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. An amorphous blob/orb that likes to wiggle & and dance :)

Q. What was your last memorable club night in NYC?
A. Funnily enough many of my memorable NYC club nights have been with persons in series :). My last NYC club night was with adab. I'm pretty incredibly lucky I got to have that as one of my last club experiences before the pandemic - I think about it all the time. Our friend Shane aka Kiernan Laveaux was also present, and so were some other friends, which made it extra wonderful. adab is a sonic sibling and I look up to them a lot, we got to play separately and back to back. Their set was so profoundly deep and spiritual, and our B2B was like flying at Warp-8, we got to play faster Jungle and DnB and dance around. It was one of the most joyous I’ve felt in a long time. Another notable NYC club experience was an all-night “stop and start” with the one and only Physical Therapy, the heads know. ;)

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I made this mix thinking about what I would like to listen to at a freaky stage called “The Way In” that was at Honcho Campout last year. The visual and memory is so visceral to me, it’s a place my mind travels to often during these times. Slinky, shimmery & freaky in the glow of sunrise. I’ve been listening to a lot of Trip Hop during lockdown, so this is undeniably influenced by those sounds. I miss the feeling of dancing slow, and fast, at the same time, and hugging friends on the dance floor. 

Some hum, crackle and mistakes in here for good measure, so you know I’m a hooman.
