RE/FORM Spring 2024 - Los Angeles - Tease/Homework

I've uploaded the live recording of my dj set at Monument Festival 2022 in Norway. It was a pleasure playing there, loved the warm and welcoming vibes of the festival & visitors and was in awe of the beautiful nature of Norway ⛰🌲🌿🍀. Thank you! Hope you’ll enjoy this mix ❤️

Sandrien @ Monument Festival 2022 Norway

Next up we have a mix from one of LA's brightest DJ community members, Max Ellington (@berrmax). Max is an LA-based DJ with roots in Ann Arbor, MI. Through his VPN Radio show, Surrealchemistry, he has embarked on a mission to explore the power of deep and psychadelic dance music. He's also a resident DJ at the New Palm event series. Some words from Max about the mix: 

"I used this mix as an assignment to break out of a lower tempo zone I've been vibing on lately and grab some faster + most importantly weirder records from the shelf. I tried to find a balance between speed and intensity--moves to higher tempos eventually accompanied by pillowy synths and dubby basslines.. the feeling of accelerating towards a soft landing!"

Camu @ temple chptr. 1.

Camu says about:

"For this inaugural edition of Temple, another new adventure alongside Josephine, I approached the set in a natural way, with only a few secure tracks and others chosen from many I've selected over months but haven't played for one reason or another. Given the volume of music circulating nowadays, my premise is mostly not to repeat them, a manifestly failed attempt to give visibility to so many creative and talented agents.

Horizontal listening events are my favorites. If we add that they are among familiar and new faces, it is in these moments where we can unleash our imagination without complexes and in a comfortable environment. If, in addition, it is playing at home, as is the case at Espacio Perpendicular, the result is perfect.

Long live Temple".

"With closed eyes, I'm transported to a forest, surrounded by the scent of pine and wet grass. Sunglasses on, I settle into a camping chair as the psychedelic downtempo beats of the second day at Parallel Festival unfold. Feeling completely at ease, I sway to the music, and later, I rise from the chair to float, ensuring this magical moment becomes a cherished memory."

Recorded at Paral·lel Festival 2023 (@parallelfestival).

A note on the mix:

"This mix envisions a dancefloor suspended in the open ocean, bobbing and rolling with the massive surface waves above and lit by dappled sunbeams reflecting off of enormous, swirling schools of fish like a living disco ball, the light and motion interrupted periodically by the slow, looming silhouettes of whales and manta rays. Searching for the perfect beat with vast, endless blue in all directions."    -Max
