Boorloo/Perth's @mikemidnight has kindly compiled some tracks that have been inspiring his recent productions - all bursting with bliss and imagination. This is some of his fav downtempo from over the years, in particular those which embody a sense of safeness in darkness.

On the releases front, Mike has a track coming out with https://soundcloud.com/theory-therapy later this year and may also be self-releasing an EP :)

Here, he's aimed to gather classic downtempo songs from the period which embody a genuine sense of humanity and honesty. More than merely nostalgic, this mix recalls connection, community and all that is beautiful and shared <333

☼ Pairs perfectly with late autumn sun ☼

Discovering last year’s Hysterical Love Project’s self-released debut album “Endless Bliss Weekender” was a personal highlight. Resulting in a release on Knekelhuis as Ike Zwanikken at the ‘and felt like...’ compilation. Hysterical Love Project is the project from the love couple Brooklyn & Ike. In which they craftfully compose a refreshing modern take on the slow sensual realm of Triphop, Ambient and hazy shoegaze. 

They will release their first physical album soon on the amazing label Motion Ward. And there is an unreleased upcoming track in here. Bliss.

Ben Bondy. What can we say? One of these exciting openminded DJ-producers within today’s contemporary music landscape. Ben is Brooklyn, NYC based and operates under many different monikers, among crash830 and xphresh (together with Special Guest DJ).
Last ADE, we invited Ben for our little hangout at Red Light Records. Apart from his adorable positive energy, we enjoyed seeing him play his fresh sophisticated sound, while not taking things too seriously. More of that please. 
Check out his stuff on Good Morning Tapes, 3 X L, West Mineral Ltd. 
This mix is a clubby one.

First mix of the year is by NYC based Yumi. What a delightful listening here. She created an exciting mix that kicks if with a weird up cosmic episode, ending up in jacking acid territories. Blast. x

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I’m Jake Muir (he/him). I make music and DJ. I’m from LA, spent several years in Seattle, and currently living in Berlin. 

What sound would you listen to… if it was the only thing you could listen to 24/7?

Ice melting 

Describe in detail your favorite place in the club?

I tend to situate myself in the middle so I get the proper stereo spread. If I forget my earplugs, in the back. If a friend is playing, I try to be closer to the front.

Best gig of your life so far?

Honcho Campout. It was really special all around.

What is the theme song of your mind on 100mg edible?

Wichita Forever



If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

If I wasn’t working in sound, I’d probably be into mixology. There’s a lot of parallels between making cocktails and music. Some people referred to Philip Jeck as an alchemist. 

Longest you've stayed up and why?

It might be when I played through Metal Gear Solid 3 in one go, 24 hrs, over a thanksgiving break back in high school. 

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

https://soundcloud.com/ziurinhell/now-now-refuge-worldwide-w-ziur-ran-cap-duoi

This guest mix from Vietnamese band Rắn Cạp Đuôi_, on my friend Ziur’s Refuge Worldwide program, might be my favorite mix of the year. It’s super wild and kinda plays with the idea of what a mix can be.


Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Develop your own voice, even if it’s super niche, and don’t be afraid to take risks. Think about your own background and identity and what you can bring to the table with that. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More chillout rooms, genre/style hopping, and care for one another.

Hi Gi Gi! Recently Gi Gi released this amazing new album on Index Records. This mix is made to accompany that release, and it wholehearted hit some of the same moods textures as on the record.
We came in touch with Gi Gi’s sound through this gorgeous cassette on Quiet Time Tapes, followed by the one on Good Morning Tapes. Check them both. This mix is like the shimmering of the sunshine after a rainy day. Triphop & broken RnB into the periphery of your dreams.

Juanita's Mix 83 with NAP @napmusick

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Colombo-Canadian male, 33 yrs old, 5’11 ft, 170 lbs.

Q. How long have you been a part of the Mexico City music scene?
A. I’ve only been here since last March and feel that I’m just starting to get to know the city in general. The positive energy that I’ve felt from everyone from the techno to the cumbia scenes here is what has made me want to stay and get to know the city and country more. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet people like DJ Guccichotas, Joyce Musicolor, Jasmanic, Irma Ruiseñor and the EXT crew who have all welcomed me into their scenes and shown me so much love and support. 

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix was recorded in the 15th floor of Torre Zacatecas in Tlatelolco, Mexico, after having just moved into a new apartment. We had cdjs for the weekend after my roommate had rented them for her birthday so I took a shot at recording something with Juanita's in mind and it was honestly one of the most natural and fun sessions.
