Very much a part of the current Latin-American born and influenced wave of DJs and producers breaking through and dominating the underground airwaves – from Nick Leon to INVT and Bitter Babe to Siu Mata – Porto-via-Belo Horizonte DJ and Yellow Island Records (releases from Kessler, Boulderhead) label head ALBIN (@albindj) is highlighting Brazilian community through his blend of Baile Funk, Miami-Bass, forward-thinking Techno and underground UK Dubstep, Breaks & Jungle; channeling the spirits of both South America and the UK and finding a sweet spot between the bounce, bass and energy of each continent's aesthetics.

Previously supported by Ransom Note, NYC collective HAUS of ALTR, Craigie Knowes, Rinse FM, Mixmag and Groove Magazin, ALBIN held down a residency at Balamii Radio under his Yellow Island Records label between 2020 and 2022, inviting more than sixty guests from around the globe to connect with the deep-yet-dutty Yellow Island aesthetic, sharing the decks with Amelia Holt, Zopelar, John Beltran, Andrea (Ilian Tape), Glenn Astro, label-resident Etari and more, in addition to a residency at Internet Public Radio where he invited Soela, Paul P (Of Paradise), BADSISTA and more for guest slots.

Floating somewhere between a hybrid Latin-sound, Ilian Tape-techno and deep UK club, ALBIN is a DJ ready to tell his story through the sounds of his home and outer-space, turning in recent mixes for NTS Radio, Rinse FM, Index Records and has recently played in Dimensions Festival in Tisno, Razzmatazz in Barcelona, La Rotonde Stalingrad in Paris, among others.

Detroit dancer Amina Ahmed blends her youth spent across the dark corners of the net and the dimmest dancefloors.

Moods is community curated and community supported. By helping us out, you're directly supporting artist commissions, curator fees, merchandise, and materials for parties. Give us a buck, four, or more a month here: danielsharp.cargo.site/Moods

Amina reminds us why we do what we do - for the love of it. Going to your first show in high school, finding some obscure band on a message board and obsessing for months, making mixes on your family’s computer and singing along in your hoopty. We recommend you listen loudly. 

Read her interview, tracklist, and more on Substack: moods.substack.com/p/moods-64-amina-ahmed

We paired Amina’s mix with an early net artwork from 2000 from Mark Napier, one of the early/earlier net artists. Below, his write-up:

The Tompkins Square riots and the state sponsored enforcement of gentrification in New York’s East Village in the ’90s inspired Riot, an alternative browser that crosses the virtual boundaries in the web. Riot breaks the software-based rules of Internet domains and blends web pages together as users surf from site to site. Playboy.com blends with whitehouse.gov, CNN.com with NPR.org. Visitors surfing with Riot see their own pages merged with pages from other users. Riot was the first and only multi-user browser. Riot revealed the soft territories of the web, enforced by the rules of browser software and domain name servers

You can still access the work online if you want to see it in action: https://potatoland.org/riot/riot.html

Moods (2017-ongoing) Moods is a community of nightlife workers, techno fans, and artists that platforms music outside of techno. We explore our community’s roots and origins to understand how music migrates from one geography and generation to another. We do this through monthly mixes, merchandise, and low-capacity events.

You're welcome to help pay and pave the way by giving $1, $4, or $20 a month here to support the project. Each Moods Mixer gets paid $50 for their mix—or we donate it to a cause or charity of their choice. The rest of the money fronts costs for merch, a Soundcloud or Substack subscription, and archive maintenance. To do so, head here: https://danielsharp.cargo.site/Moods

Season Seven (2024) is co-organized by, in alphabetical order:
Miguel Cisne, he/they (@miguelcisne)
Crystal Gause, she/her (@etta_sound)
