IS 083 - Chris [Mnml Ssgs]

The latest edition of Nina Mix is presented by Los Angeles-based DJ Bianca Lexis (@biancalexis). Over the past five years, Lexis’ NTS Radio show Panorama Heaven has solidified her as a selector’s selector and a must-see DJ. Her unique style frequently explores the realms of rare and elusive Italo disco, off-the-beaten-path house, and more recently, the late ’90s and early 2000s chillout and electronica.

Beyond her impeccable musical discernment, Lexis continues to uncover and champion new and forgotten musical treasures. Bianca's mix for Nina offers a distinctive blend of loungey, trip-hop-infused tracks—a sound both familiar and endlessly intriguing. In her own words, ‘a mix of '90s-heavy dream pop & downtempo :)’.

Ce podcast est dédié à la mémoire de Fatma Hassona, journaliste et photographe palestinienne tuée par une frappe israélienne le 16 avril 2025. Le lendemain de la sélection à Cannes de "Put your soul on your hand and walk", film documentaire réalisé par Sepideh Farsi où Fatma Hassona décrit son quotidien sous les bombes à Gaza, son immeuble a été bombardé. Elle a péri aux côtés des membres de sa famille.
Pour reprendre ses mots : que sa mort soit bruyante, retentissante. Qu'elle fasse écho aux innombrables victimes civiles palestiniennes tombées sous les attaques israéliennes.

Tread Light - Episode 1

Living Room n°87 - @wieloroman @ushenkosasha

q. please introduce yourselves:

a. My name is Sasha Ushenko, and I'm an artist from Kyiv. Together with my close friend and collaborator WiELOROMAN aka Roma Pivnenko, we’ve built a deep connection through our shared taste in music and vision.

We co-create a project called Practices of Conscious Listening @pup.listening.club — a series of events where we invite people and artists into the world of deep listening, meditative states, and alternative soundscapes. Our goal is to explore how sound can be used as a tool for presence, awareness, and inner exploration.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

a. There’s definitely a story behind this mix. It was born naturally from a live B2B session we played at the Stricka Festival in Kyiv, in the summer of 2024. The setting was beautiful — a lush garden surrounded by greenery, and the vibe was incredibly present, almost timeless.

The mix captured that moment of deep connection - with the music, the space, and the people around us. For a long time, it just sat quietly, waiting to be heard again. 

When we play together, it feels intense and super-spiritual because we hold this depth together with our double intention.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?

a. I think the best way to enjoy this mix is to simply gather your friends, put the music on, boil some water, pour some tea — and just be. Whether it’s shared conversations in nature or quiet moments of presence together, this mix was made to hold space for that kind of connection. It’s not about listening with intensity — it’s about letting the sound gently accompany a real, grounded moment in life.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room (individually)...

a. Sasha - I really love my table in the living room. There’s just so much happening around it — it feels like a digital workspace, but also a creative sanctuary. I draw there, drink tea, read, write… everything kind of flows through that table. It’s simple, but it holds a lot of energy. It’s just… the table, you know?

Roma - probably my favorite object is a whole wall consisting of memories, important trinkets, bookshelves with favorite material, a place for a vinyl collection and a sound system. This corner has become for me a kind of mirror that can remind you of the important things on the path of this character, through which all life breathes


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music, together or individually)?

a. Musically, I want to finish a special release for Gasoline Records — it’s a vinyl postcard project that brings together five musicians, five photographers, and two organizations: our label and the Kyiv Biennial. It’s a cross-disciplinary collaboration that merges sound and visual art in a very tactile, analog format.

Alongside that, WiELOROMAN and I are continuing our journey with Practices of Conscious Listening. We’re motivated to keep creating offline events, and we’re also planning to launch a podcast series to deepen the conversation around attentive listening and sound as a meditative practice.

On a more personal level, I’m diving deeper into healing sound — exploring voice, vibration, and the yoga of sound as tools for body-mind connection and inner transformation.

Roma, in turn, works extensively in the field of online education, creating courses for his clients and helping teachers develop transformational programs to support the growth of their students. He is also a "guide". It seems that this is his lifetask, to combine people, ideas, and tracks with each other, so that something divinely beautiful comes out of it.

Art flourishes when the freedom, flow and creativity intersect. Often a direct response to resistance, art transcends borders and the physical to allow transmission of the soul; emotion and consciousness. Be Yōkai, a collaborative project between three artists, represents these core values uniting music with art and the moving picture. At the convergent point between these three disciplines we find Be Yōkai, driven by rhythm and vibration, while delivering progressive, transcendent visual stimulation.

In this free zone they flourish, as their art flows out of them without a hint of resistance. It’s the kind of freedom that many artists strive to achieve with no pressure, no deadlines and no strict briefs to uphold. The notion of trust, encouragement, confidence in one’s approach is what we find with Be Yōkai. All three men have known each other for over a decade, and worked closely together during that time on several occasions. This foundation keeps their relationship strong and provides a comfortable layer upon which they are building an intriguing project.

Sebastian Mullaert, Douglas Holmquist and illustrator/animator Kristofer Ström are the three creative wonders who stand behind Be Yōkai. Each member of the trio has a longstanding relationship with their particular skill, as well as each other.

Sebastian’s musical endeavours have taken him around the world, both as a solo practioner and in the duo known as Minilogue, among other projects. Douglas an accomplished composer for film animations, advertisements and video games, as well as making club music. Kristofer, a world-renowned illustrator and animation specialist, who is also adept when it comes to making music.

From the very beginning, the group have worked in an unplanned, natural, organic way, exchanging music and visuals with each member contributing to the progress of each track and accompanying video. It’s a project that acts as its own catalyst, as the three artists contribute their respective talents to the final product, bit by bit, without having a defined goal or target.

In this way they allow for a smooth flow in their production process, which is crucial to their ideals. This is not a ‘hit-making machine’, nor is it a project that has any pre-conceived ambitions towards “success”. All three men agree that Be Yōkai represents an organic, intermittent working process that is not bound by the constraints of future pressures. With Be Yōkai the three men have a space to inspire one another and to be liberated from target-based composition.

It is the only way they can operate, with three separate lives and careers, they have to consider the dynamic and unpredictable flow of life itself. Attempting to control this wild beast is futile, so they work on the project as and when possible. Eventually there is the hope of taking Be Yōkai to the stage, for a concert style performance with live instrumentation accompanied by Kristofer’s mind-boggling visuals. This is something all three artists agree on, but it’s not something they are desperate for. It will happen, all in good time, as everything will if you trust enough in the power of being…
