@facta & @k-lone93 have been on a roll recently. Their Wisdom Teeth label has seen them put out not only excellent music from Tristan Arp, but also Facta's brilliant downtempo album Blush and K-Lone's recent Zissou EP. Both hail from London but are now Bristol-based and they mix up many of the different styles you'd expect from those two musical hotbeds. Everything from 2-step to Baltimore, post-dubstep to deep house gets distilled into their sets and productions, but always with well-swung drums and high-pressure bass. 

The pair kick off the New Year for us with a nimble mix that moves smoothly through glossy house depths, stripped-back broken beats and elastic rhythms. There is always a rich layer of percussion, sweet vocal or elegant melody burrowing deep into your brain while the beats keep your body happy. It's a perfectly persuasive listen that eases you off the sofa and back to the dance floor in no time.

Name: Kelsie Walda
Alias: DJ Chia Pudding (@chiapudding)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Chicago
 
Influences: dancing <3, earth and universal energy, god, flowers, Missy Elliott + the hip/hop and r&b of the 90's/early 00's that I grew up with, my friends, Noumenal Rave, pure joy, raving with real ones in the woods :), the Skate Palace (childhood skating rink), and trees
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Swung (party)
 
Favorite Quote: "The world is burning. Ideas are like hot potatoes. If you're still hoarding yours when the waves consume the shore, when the fires reach your village, you have lost the game. Don't hold an idea for too long. Give it away, and trust that someone may think it better than you. I have come to the conclusion that I may not live long enough to finish all the writing and stories I want to tell. How much better would it be to give these stories away to people who can grow them into something wilder and more durable? Authorship and individuality have only recently become attached to art-making. For most of human history art-making was always multi-generational and always a relational event" - Sophie Strand 
 
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Get to know yourself because other people (often unknowingly) will try to exert their will on you. If you can stay grounded in your own body/energy, you will be better equipped to navigate these influences in a healthy way. Practice :))

Skee Mask is one of dance music's greatest crossover stories of the past decade, with new albums greeted with the attention usually reserved for an Aphex Twin or a Caribou. ("Loved seeing this on r/indieheads," said one Reddit user, on the release of the 2021 LP Pool.) It's not hard to understand why: albums like Compro, he blends well-worn dance music tropes with incredible, detailed soundscapes and spine-tingling melodies. And on his 12-inches, he brings that sensibility to the dance floor, with an approach probably best described as articulate. Even on his most ambient of tracks, everything is in its right place. Along with founders the Zenker Brothers, his music outlines everything that makes Munich outfit Ilian Tape one of the best techno labels going.

On the decks, it's kind of a different story. It might surprise you if you only know his albums, but Skee Mask is an incredible DJ, balancing his predilection for hip-hop and UK-informed sounds with laser-focused techno. He can adapt to all sorts of situations—there's an incredible recording of him DJing with four of the best grime and drum & bass MCs in the business—and on his RA Podcast he focuses on the techno side of things, with nearly two hours of pacey techno and creative mixing, with dips into acid, electro, garage and more. It's a party-starting mix from a genuine star, perfect for getting through the holiday doldrums or pre-gaming your NYE plans. Like Skee Mask's best records, it's something to enjoy in any number of settings.
