~ Gene Tellem [Canada] ~

Gene Tellem is a Montreal-based DJ who has righteously been very much on the rise lately. Inheriting from a background in piano and guitar, she had her first time in dance music in the late 2000s while working as a customer service assistant at the traditional Piknic Électronik event. After getting her hands dirty following some DJ lessons and trying to put theory into practice, the watershed from taking casual DJing to a professional activity was her discovery of the house icon Moodymann. Things quickly got serious then when she started to build the All Good party series with her partner Kris Guilty. From 2018 onwards, she has been proving a lightning rise; from making her debuts with the dazzling *Who Says No* EP on Project Pablo's label SOBO to hitting Boiler Room's legendary decks. Only a year after, she founded her own label Bienvenue Recordings and has been a staple in the city's underground scene and beyond since. When it comes to production, her sound is both warm, groovy and welcoming, which ensues a mind-bending deep house vibe reminiscent of a friendly invitation to introspective daydreaming. 

Here she is proving again her versatility and skillfulness, compiling a blinding mix which oscillates between ambient and deep house. Her mix takes in music from Ian Pooley, Session Victim or The Detroit Experiment, and translates into an atmospheric voyage and a certified brain stimulation.

039 ~ plastic/vibes x Gene Tellem 🇨🇦

CCL (@ccl-url) has many tricks and plenty of surprises up their sleeve. London-born, US-bred but now Berlin-based, they are playful in what they play but serious about how they play it, whether that's head spinning 160bpm cut, "cowgirl-breaks or wiggle steppers." The key for this multidisciplinary artist and former New Forms festival curator is to find the similarities and differences between shades of sound and rhythm and exploit them to spellbinding effect. As a producer, they are no different and have always managed to find fresh in-between sounds on labels like Fever AM and Discwoman. 

The singular DJ steps up this week with almost two hours of pure sonic adventure. It's a perfect showcase of how they can soundtrack imaginary worlds from humid future jungles to robot dances in the sky. You'll hear rhythms you could never imagine and contort your body in impossible ways, all while admiring the dexterity of the DJ who has threaded together such a trippy trip.
