With sizzling electro, crunching breakbreats, frenzied footwork and much more in between, @nikki-nair records a jaw dropping productions mix for the Recognise series.

Atlanta-based Nikki Nair has made waves recently thanks to his sonically varied productions, released on labels such as Scuffed Recordings, Dirtybird and Gobstopper. For this month's Recognise interview, he chats to Katie Thomas about his route into music-making and DJing, the importance of respecting dance music history, and the push for a more diverse scene.

In an unusual collaboration between a Brazilian artist and a Chinese label, Numa Gama returns with a left-field take on her music-making, A Spectral Turn. Inspired by Derrida’s Hauntology, and the post-capitalist instigations of Anna Tsing, she weaves an eerie and cold subtropical soundscape that explores themes of freedom and imagination amidst the ghosts that inhabit today’s world.

Each track here unfolds like a vignette, as translucent synth lines float independently, accompanied by abstract sounds and glitches. This amalgamation creates a rational yet cozy stream of consciousness, guiding the listener through the haunted corridors of the memories of the past, ideas of the present, and miscarriages of the future. To summon these ideas, Numa Gama draws a parallel between negotiating political change and making kin with her own creative desires.

Rather than providing nostalgic sensations or futuristic insights, A Spectral Turn acknowledges that history ends at every moment, and gives way to new beginnings, swarming with ghosts.

Future Disco Radio - 278 - Vertigini Guest Mix

Dear Listener, for our fourth installment I have taken my sweet, sweet time to curate this podcast. With it being only my second mix ever, the first being in 2019, I was relatively nervous showing this to the world. But with spring tickling the life out of nature and people, signaling new beginnings, life, love, and growth, I believe it is the perfect time. With this mix I was very focused on storytelling: what do the separate tracks bring out of the one before or after? How do they play together? Let me know what kind of story you hear when you listen to it.
I also always like to wonder what kind of stories are happening while this mix is playing in the room or in someone's headphones. This podcast spans a wide  array of different styles of sounds. Starting with very instrumental tracks, going funk-adjacent, deep house, electro, and more to be discovered by you. I really hope you enjoy!

Big love
