Mixes

Next up we have a mix from one of LA's brightest DJ community members, Max Ellington (@berrmax). Max is an LA-based DJ with roots in Ann Arbor, MI. Through his VPN Radio show, Surrealchemistry, he has embarked on a mission to explore the power of deep and psychadelic dance music. He's also a resident DJ at the New Palm event series. Some words from Max about the mix: 

"I used this mix as an assignment to break out of a lower tempo zone I've been vibing on lately and grab some faster + most importantly weirder records from the shelf. I tried to find a balance between speed and intensity--moves to higher tempos eventually accompanied by pillowy synths and dubby basslines.. the feeling of accelerating towards a soft landing!"

Out to Lunch Ep. 6 w/ guest Max Ellington - Live on Radio alHara 7.23.2024

For our eighth episode, we are excited to feature one of a kind selector and Anemone co-organizer, Max Ellington. Max performed a special closing set in the early morning hours at our augural Anemone party, and will be back for a frenetic and dynamic B2B2B at our upcoming gathering in collaboration with the Acid Camp family on 10/26. 

A note on the mix:

"This mix envisions a dancefloor suspended in the open ocean, bobbing and rolling with the massive surface waves above and lit by dappled sunbeams reflecting off of enormous, swirling schools of fish like a living disco ball, the light and motion interrupted periodically by the slow, looming silhouettes of whales and manta rays. Searching for the perfect beat with vast, endless blue in all directions."    -Max

Ying Li-Hooi for the Butter Sessions radio show.
Aired on Oct 9th, 2020 from LYL Radio in France.

Butter Sessions LYL Radio w/ YL Hooi - Ep4

This is a recording of a set originally streamed live on VPN Radio on the 4th of July. Saish (aka SwarJi) had hit me up that morning and asked, since we were all stuck at home for the holiday (and feeling more than a bit skeptical of the spirit of patriotism), if I wanted to join him for an impromptu stream and play some music--less as a celebration of the 4th than an angsty refutation. Naturally I pulled some drum & bass records and adjacent 'fast music' for channeling these feelings! As the stuck-at-home-reading-heavy-news days stretch on I think that we're all still feeling a need for some kind of defiant catharsis, and I hope that this can help someone out there to achieve that! Thank you to Saish for the very appropriate cover image and to the mmarz fam for letting me share this recording :) peace - @berrmax

mmarz 091 | max ellington: 160bpm to freedom

The moon waxes into shiny illumination under Gemini tonight and @silver-side-pony has mixed up an hour of reflective and radiant ambient, perfectly facilitating ritual and release. “In a year that feels suspended in motion (not so much surreal as hyper-real), notifications on Bandcamp Friday have become a small joy.” True to that sentiment and full of gorgeous musical morsels from friends of theirs, this mix oozes warmth, stoking the flames of collective inspiration, community and connectivity. Exactly what we've all been hungry for, and what's been keeping us afloat. Thank-you dear Laurel.
