MIXES

Nativecast Series

For volume one of our Nativecast mix series, we are pleased to present you with Amsterdam based DJ and producer NAKANO BLU. He came into the scene during the turbulent year of 2021, after switching from his drumming career towards dark electronic music. Being active for many years as a hip-hop producer and multi-purpose session drummer, he decided to start a new project focusing on the inspiring sounds of Amsterdam`s club scene, where techno is king and there is a big space for experimental DJ and producers to play their tracks for an electronic-loving crowd. 

His first single release with cologne-based label Urban Undergrounds was a more chilled, outsider house track, but his production style evolved quickly into the IDM and lo-fi techno sounds of his first EP, Æ, released with Berlin's  label Corresponding Positions, house of releases from techno legends like Umwelt or Templer. Following this evolution NAKANO BLU progressed into the breakbeat productions and fast-moving DJ sets that contain an eclectic mix of techno, IDM and juke/ghetto, defining his particular DJ style and ready to smash the dancefloor of any club.

She has already graced us and killed it with her ‘Midnight Mood’ EP for the label. Based in the city of Los Angeles, Alixandria Andre, is a DJ and music producer that fuses her love for ethereal grooves, jungle, breaks and electro through imaginative productions, diverse Dj sets, and inspired studio mixes. With Djing for exactly a decade, she's discovered bits of her artistic style which has guided her to where she is today. Through some of Etari's past releases on 100% Silk, Low Recordings, Yellow Island & Native Boundaries, you can be sure to hear more of her idiosyncratic productions in the coming years as she expands her artistic craft.

For Volume 004 of our mix series, we are happy to present e91. E91 is a DJ and a producer pushing energetic and distorted basslines in the shades of Riga. He has seen consistent releases on labels including Club Designs, Low Income Squad and most recently In2ition Music. His tracks have had a global impact, receiving features from tastemakers like CRUDE Berlin and Posse Up!, while for the last 10 years he’s become a strong presence locally in Riga’s underground and club scene. A fascination with and love of the music led to a desire to create it, and his early experimentations with 8bit music were followed by breakcore and fidget house. His sound now fuses inspiration from each of these eclectic influences and can be best described as high energy club music with a relentless groove.

Native Boundaries is an LA based label, mix, and party series spotlighting fresh takes on hard, heavy rave music by @luciddistraction. The label is driven by a vision of melting the boundaries of culture and place to expose listeners to the sounds of Berlin, Chicago, Detroit, and London with a new school twist as interpreted by artists from all over the world. 

Born as a minimal and deep house label in 2021, Native took a decisive turn into heavier territory in late 2022 with EP releases from the fast-rising Etari and label head Lucid Distraction, shortly followed by a 21-track VA featuring the likes of Osutin, Lord Pusswhip, Mezer, Karawai, Mister Sticktalk, In2Stellar, Snarexx, DJ Simlocked and more. These releases earned support from Filth, Inc., Kernel, Moskalus, 6AM, Crazed Behavior, Les Yeux Orange and many more. Native Boundaries has established itself as a respected curator of parties and mixes that push the boundaries of experimentation in the Los Angeles underground, uniting fans of electro, juke, breaks, acid and more.
