They also joined our roster for CB x @beatport ReConnect fundraiser benefiting Ukraine, which raised over $100,000 for @chooselove, an org providing shelter and safety for the LGBTQ+ community fleeing the war.

Check out our interview with MORENXXX:

What would you like ppl to know about you?

I'm also an exhibiting visual artist! Whose art practice is deeply intertwined with their DJ practice.

Tell us about this mix and what you want listeners to get from it.

Whenever I put out a mix or get ready to make a mix, I organize a collection of images that help me develop its sonic aesthetic. With this mix I was more so thinking about it as an archipelago, a group of islands that amalgamate to a larger nexus of localities. With that in mind, the majority of the songs I selected have these really entrancing percussive patterns that I gravitate to at large, but also placing emphasis on Caribbean, African and Black American producers. It was easy to find my footings as those connections seem to form organically. This mix is definitely more on the techno side, with many moments of melodic rapture. But overall, I want listeners to sojourn through a transformative journey that explores the entanglement of terror and enjoyment, ecstasy and remedy, death and transformation. A group of islands converging, collapsing and developing one another in their difference. A dancefloor of relation, with explosions of jubilance <3

When did you first take an interest in music?

I think my interest in music or specifically dance music began with Dance Dance Revolution and video games in general. I remember growing up playing dance dance revolution with my cousin and siblings, we even had a metal mat at home- that's how serious we were about it. I'm not the best at it, but I think that definitely began my interest in electronic dance music. My cousin, the one who actually owned the game, took me to my first rave when I was 12 or 13. And obviously being exposed to that at such an impressionable age, I took to that quite quickly Then later on moving to Chicago, and finding home and family in the community there that had already been so invested in a long-standing nightlife tradition - its exalted a profound respect and devotion to House and Techno at large. I've had the most cathartic, healing, and transformative experiences on the dancefloor, and truly believe these spaces are so incredibly spiritual. 

What have been some of your fav gigs and what made them so memorable?

My favorite gig would have to be Honcho Summer 2021. We were all so invested...the whole excursion is this sort of agreement, that I think only a weekend in the middle of the woods with no access to the internet can conjure. Like my eyes still roll back thinking about my experience there, there's something really magical about that experience that I'm still unraveling. Aside from being showered with love and appreciation after my set, and honestly one of the few times where I have felt truly celebrated and held. I was committed, I remember there were times we would be on the dancefloors for hours, going and losing ourselves, everyone began to become nobody and everyone all at once, in the blur of it all. I will never forget my time there. 

How do you think we can make the underground clubbing community better?

I would like to see more thoughtful organizing, a lot of parties post-quarantine have been so maximalist and devoid of intention. We don't need 10 DJs in one night (unless there are multiple floors), we don't need a sampler portion of a DJ set. With the recent destruction of our spaces specifically in Brooklyn, we have fewer options, there's 'scarcity' to it. But there is so much room for potential! I want to see more insurgent, spontaneous, and imaginative organizing

An agreement to exist, embody and dissolve beyond dusk
A consensus to devote - to the perpetual bend of time

When organizing my mixes, I spend a lot of time developing a visual language to accompany my selections. Keeping in mind the visuality of these spaces, in the mix above I felt that it was important to include tracks that carry these theoretical/cultural components effortlessly. From sampling Jenn Nkiru’s short film Rebirth Is Necessary, to Fred Moten’s book Black and Blur, and my own and my contemporaries’ poetic interventions, this mix not only explores the ability to bend time, but also to recontextualize music. While staying committed to a climactic narrative, the mix elaborates on the fluidity between legacy, gender, and race. Throughout my practice as an artist as well as a DJ, I often think about remedy, and how the work I am a part of can be utilized in that sense. In Black to Techno, written and directed by Jenn Nkiru, Elijah Maja voices on Arthur Jafa’s theory of the dropout:

The dropout within techno and all other forms of Black musical composition speaks to the idea of the missing … On a deeper, deeper psychoanalytical level, what you’re essentially hearing is Black people creating a universe within which that rupture, that loss that we are missing is fixed. Forcing an awareness upon us of what has been removed then taken from us. The missing, that thing we’ll never find, never get back, never recover, it's speaking to that. The dropout is essentially a pulling away, an acknowledgment of a presence, an energy that has been removed from itself.

I argue that this gestural practice and intersection of Blackness, queerness, and transness works in tandem with what Eshun mentions: the conscientious notion of filling a rapture.

Ultimately, staying true to the elements that have established MORENXXX, I wanted to meddle in the harder side of techno (and trance), and centralize artists who are Black, queer, and/or trans—for example BEARCAT, TYGAPAW, Him Hun, Quest?nmarc, and DJ Hyperdrive—and blend them with legends like Robert Hood and Claude Young. All the while I’m incorporating tracks from WTCHCRFT, Xiorro, Estoc, and Ariel Zetina, who have been carrying on these legacies with enigmatic force.
