DJ FART IN THE CLUB 101123

Many DJs claim to be champions of free-spirited eclecticism, but few truly break boundaries or swerve convention. Step forward Elena Colombi, a DJ and radio host whose inspired sets are not only open-minded and mind-altering, but also seek to toy with the emotions of listeners. It’s the perfect recipe for our Smoke podcast, where we invite to lay back and soak in the music.

We paired Abby’s mix with a ghost print by Edgar Heap of Birds; a monoprint from his recent collection of single prints is what he calls a "ghost" print (he paints the plate, lays paper on and pulls ink for the first print, then repeats the process with whatever ink's left -- the "ghost" from the first pull).

We kick off the year with an excerpt from our founder Dj wiggles' peak time set at open ground in germany back in December. A wriggly adventure through swampy half time, rolling dnb, peak-time jungle, uk bass & dubstep 🌀

---

+ 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞...
I was playing in the smaller room 200 cap room (the annex) with low lighting, a booth shaped like a spaceship & the warmest sound system you can imagine.

+ 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
This was actually my first 3 hour set, so I knew I wanted to use the time to showcase the different sounds / tempos / styles I love, the challenge is always making it all work together.

My set time was 2.30-5.30am so I sort of saw it as a bit of a warm up and a bit of a peak time and a bit of a closing all in one, so wanted to cover more fun peak time bass-y bits, fast wormholey half time & then some deeper dubstep for the end. This excerpt is from the fast wormholey section. 

+ 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐤𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐛𝐨𝐱 / 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐠?
I used to really plan out my sets but i’ve got a lot better at being less prepared over the past year or so, I now tend to prep for multiple gigs as I go by creating an ‘ideas’ playlist for each gig & dragging tracks into it when i come across them. Then when the gig gets closer to the time I go through the playlist & refine the tracks into themes or speeds.

Having everything broken up into themes really helps me keep some structure / narrative. I like to always have a rough end point / goal to get to, especially for longer or deeper sets such as closing.

With my records I try to do the same thing & pack them in order of when I might play them throughout the night. Trying to get better at taking my records with me as I v much got out of the habit.

+ 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 / 𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭?
Yes definitely, I only really get anxious for a gig when I struggle to settle on a theme / vibe. This tends to only happens for gigs where I’m a little unsure of where I fit musically though. If it’s a gig the theme is usually focussed on location / set time - so a deep / dubby warm up or a sexy peak time or maybe a deep & wiggly closing.

+ 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 / 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨?
In the UK, strange brew & the white hotel and laak in the hague oh and outra cena in lisbon actually i’ve heard that’s sick!

+ 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 & 𝐃𝐉 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐮𝐩?
A local party would be goodness, they've been putting together consistently sick lines up for a v long time. Djs I'd like to big up - Softi (@jazz_brown) & benk0 (@benkos), they both have a more psychedlic / trippy approach to blending techno & bass / dubstep together which i love.

+ 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 (𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞) 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞?
Probably an @ilian-tape night at the cause in December, it was the first time I'd had that kind of experience in a club in london in a long time. But tbh I still might not be over REEF at bergs in november yet, that @djrum closing set….

+ 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲?
Long set times, lots of haze, sound system that feels like a duvet, variety of sounds / genres, kind staff and security and the space and freedom to sit down and hang out or explore. I think this sense of freedom is something that missing at a lot of UK clubs.

+ 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭?
micky pearce - numb nut / socks off

“She is rearranging molecules in the air” was how Shane aka. Kiernan Laveaux‘s mixing style was once described to us by her In Training co-founder, Father of Two. Anyone who has been lucky to catch one of her mesmerising sets over the years across North America, in Berlin, or more recently during a tour in Europe this spring, will know exactly how accurate that description is. Kiernan Laveaux is one of the founding members of In Training, a queer party and collective which made its roots in Cleveland, Ohio in 2014. Over the course of a few years, by throwing their own parties in their small, industralised city In Training became part of the fabric of North America’s queer dance music underground. Shane is now based in Pittsburgh and, alongside In Training, holds strong links to the collectives & event series of Heaven is in You and Motherbeat, as well as other parties and groups based around the globe . One thing you become acutely aware of when listening to Shane play, or to her mixes, is that an intrinsic part of what she does is to create a narrative with the music that she plays.
