Tracklist & Interview: www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/theory-therapy-19-gi-gi

The latest Theory Therapy mix comes from Austin-based artist Gi Gi. I became aware of the producer after they released Lumino Pleco, one of the most spellbinding releases I’ve heard in a long time. The album, released on New York’s Quiet Time, is made entirely of samples from artists including Prince, Erykah Badu, Vangelis and Miles Davis, then reshaped and recontextualised to say something completely new. If it wasn’t for the liner notes, you would have no idea that this tactile, otherworldly ambient album contains tracks from some of music’s biggest icons.

The fact that it does though adds to the magic of Lumino Pleco. The record brims with life just as a city skyline is filled with people unseen to the naked eye. It is rich, intricately layered ambient music that moves and slowly unfurls, revealing new details with every listen.  

Since the release of the LP, I’ve been catching up with everything that Gi Gi has been involved in, including their incredible three-hour mix for c- and more recent recording for Mitamine. Like the music they create, the Texan’s mastery of rhythm, texture and tone are clear; each mix is absolutely seamless. 

The same can be said for their Theory Therapy recording. There’s unreleased music from Perila, Nueen and an unnamed musician alongside the likes of Dettinger and Massive Attack, tied together in a way that they become almost imperceptible from one another, regardless of how familiar you are with their songs. “The seams are blurred in a way that might allow the listener to become easier enveloped”, they tell us.

Theory Therapy 19: Gi Gi

Animix Forty One presented by Austin, Texas based DJ/ Producer Gi Gi ( @keptmale ) with a beautiful trip. The artist focuses on deep and contemplative listening in this xtra long mix.  

In their own words, Gi Gi writes, "the idea for these mixes is to be a collection of longer-form tracks (7+ min) that demand (imo) to be heard front to back, producing a patient wander of a listen, and to serve as a greatest hits of sorts of songs that are especially personal/special to me-- as opposed to just an attempt to show off the deepest digs i've stumbled on (a thought pattern i think i and many other selectors can get caught up in at times..)."

Love the idea behind this mix, and it's the perfect extended listen for a sunny or rainy day wherever you are. 

Gigi released an LP on Quiet Tapes earlier this year, and has a few more LPs in the works, due out later this year --https://quiettimetapes.bandcamp.com/album/lumino-pleco

Thanks again for this one, Gi Gi!

"For this mix, I wanted to try something a little bit out of my comfort zone. Instead of a dance mix I went with the downtempo & trip hop sounds I've been inspired by as of late."
Milla's group project, Purelink, just released their debut full length "Puredub" via Chicago's Lillerne Tapes, the outfit's take on ambient, dub, downtempo grooves, and more.
