There's an old-school touch to ISAbella's sound. Breakbeats, rolling tech house, progressive house and trance pepper both her studio mixes and her debut EP, transporting listeners to a place of peak '90s indulgence. It's no wonder, then, that vintage rave sounds are a signature tenet of MARICAS, the club night and label that she helped start in 2018.

Her love for the '90s is tangible on her RA Podcast, an emotional journey across breakbeat house, trancey techno and funky electro. First-rate throwbacks such as Canyon's "Move" and "Lightspan Soundwave" by The Shamen exude a carefree euphoria, while heavier cuts like Desert's "Moods (Club Mix)'' intensify the feeling of rapture. Even the contemporary releases, like Bashkka's excellent "C-quence Of Calamities," feel rooted in nostalgia.

MARICAS mixes are usually energetic from the get-go, but ISAbella starts out nice and relaxed this time around. The mix's most striking element is how personal each track feels—a reflection of her intimate relationship with these records. Each one evokes a special poignancy and though these ephemeral selections were largely improvised, ISAbella believes they "show what's going on lately and what's going on forever."

"Genre: Not Applicable" says one of Bogatá-born DJ and producer @bitterbabe's online bios, and she's not wrong. She mixes up and blends global club styles from Colombian guaracha to Venezuelan raptor house with high energy and rich percussion on labels like TraTraTrax and is a member of the ECO and Latitudes collectives. She is focussed on amplifying electronic artists and labels across Latin America while herself being on a near-constant tour of Europe's finest clubs. After a long time entrenched deep in the Miami scene, she recently made the move to Berlin. 

On this week's mix, Bitter Babe takes you on a wild ride through her unique rhythmic world. Everything she plays is defined by big drums, but how they fall and where they take you is always a thrill. You'll recognise hints of jungle, there are nods to techno and flashes of rave intensity but mostly these are contorted in between sounds that captivate mind and body with equal intensity.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Don't stick to one genre, practice your craft as much as possible, learn the background of your scene and where does the music that you play come from. Get involved in your scene and try to support it as much as you can, you have a responsibility as a member of that community.

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I'm a producer and DJ going by the name of Ciel. My real name is Cindy, my pronouns are she/her, and I'm based in Toronto, Canada.

How do you deal with being nervous before a gig? 

Try not think about it :) It doesn't always work, but i find it happens from time to time if I'm really exhausted from not sleeping on tour and my brain has naturally shut off. If I can't stop thinking about it, I will try to select the first track from my vinyl bag and have a vague sense of what Rekordbox playlists I plan to play from. I ad-hoc all my sets because I love picking tracks in response to the audience's energy, but sometimes that is a lot more stressful for me and I find myself doom scrolling the USB. Devising a strategy, even if I end up not following it, does a lot to soothe my anxiety. 

Where do you see yourself musically in 2044?

I don't know what the future holds but I hope to be a full time composer of film and TV scores when I'm in my 50s and no longer want to tour constantly.

If you could have anything on your rider… What would you choose?

An indica-sativa hybrid joint (no tobacco), nice bottle of orange wine, German flat peaches, and a bathroom in the booth (anything is possible, right?)

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Less celebrity worship, less influencer culture, less fame & money-chasing, more focus on behind-the-scenes folks (whether DJs or producers or labels) who foster community and tirelessly build their local scenes.

Favorite Quote: "But all style, that is, artifice, is, ultimately, epicene. Life is not stylish. Neither is nature." -Susan Sontag (from Notes on Camp)

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: 
As a musician I believe it is key to always challenge yourself. I see a lot of DJs, and musicians in general (myself included), getting into this routine of practice where comfort in what you play takes priority over experimentation and the self-reflection of that practice. As DJs, our musical identity is often based around what genre of music we spin, but much like playing an instrument, experimenting with different forms of music can really impact the way you listen, play, and appreciate what you're trying to create. Aim to step outside your own norm and focus on a new technique, style, effect, process, and especially look to your community for inspiration. Experimentation is essential to all musical practice and DJing is no different. And prioritize community over everything, surround yourself with kind and open-minded individuals :) !

Live recording of my All Night Long set at Yu Yu club in Mexico City on 29/Jul/23. 
Turntable channel was kinda raspy sorry.

From RA: "It's rare to encounter a night that caters to such a huge spectrum of electronic music. It's even rarer when there's only one artist on the lineup. Don't miss this headline showcase from Guadalajara-based producer and DJ 1OO1O, who fluidly jumps between breaks, electro, UKG, jungle and everything else besides."

RA: Mix Of The Day

1OO1O • All Night Long @ Yu Yu [29/Jul/23]

This mix is a goodbye letter to my mother to help her start her journey through the universe. 

It has pieces of her life in it to remind her that the pain was only in the end but her life story is not that. It was full of joy, love, laughs, dance, and music.
