a slight lumiscence of the soft-ambi, primarily this whole joint from claire is so mooooooody; alternating percussive patterns being a thread that follows through, ready to pulled away at the frayed edge where this mix hopes to take you. sparse with a touch of wub, it has pure screwface energy… rub your eyes twice so the attitude of the sounds don’t sting, but to be honest, it feels good to let it!!

"A transposition of emotions to sound… a journey through what I was feeling at the time. The beginning is broken and jarring, erratic and unsettling… riding through false peaks and fragmented breakdowns. It’s a bit dark and unclear as to what will happen next. As time goes on, there’s a slow build up of clarity: you can feel yourself coming out of the darkness and into something brighter… something freeing. You feel lighter at the end…. skin tingling with tenderness and elation."

Our third installment for this year comes from @jem4u, a community organiser & DJ hailing from Detroit, determined to introduce us to the new sounds breaking through from the next gen there - and we’re all about it.

This month we have the pleasure of inviting Acid Lillies on our @radioalhara show!
@acidlillies16 is about dancing, loving music and sometimes noisy stuff. Not tied to one genre, she explores music all around with one goal : making people dance. From disco, to house, to hard techno with some jazz in-between, switching energy all around depending on the context she’s given. She recorded a deep, dancefloor ready mix to vibe to wherever you might be!

Machine Woman - 10 April 2023

Name: Claire 
Alias: Claire & DJ Flounce (@claire-dj-bln)
Pronouns: She/Her
Location: Berlin

Influences: I grew up raving to Drum n’ Bass and this is the genre I first learnt to mix when I was 18 so this influences my style a lot. I also grew up listening to a lot of Hip Hop, Tribe called quest, De La Soul and this influences a lot of the music I play in my radio show, Tender Tokens. To be honest a lot of influences are from friends! Esposito, Darwin re:ni, Elke and the Reef party crew always give me so much life and inspiration. 

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: On Refuge Worldwide I have a show called Tender Tokens which is focussed more on music for your wellbeing. This includes usually downtempo, hip-hop & ambient but also some dance music, garage, breaks and DnB because dance music is also good for your wellbeing! The show is usually bi-monthly and sometimes I also invite guests. 
Together with a friend we run an Event series called Double Trouble here in Berlin which is an art exhibition/party hybrid which focusses more on bass music and there I am a resident. We aim to showcase Berlins finest femme talent regardless of starting out or expert. The event series is just starting out but so far is a success and we can’t wait for our three events coming up this year! 
I am also in a DJ Duo with another friend, Elke & Claire (Future Friends). We used to do a Radio show together on Radio80000 but now we are sticking to the dance floor rather than the airwaves and have fun doing so! 

Favorite Quote: You do you baby.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Find your style and don’t compromise on that for anything! You are you for a reason, have incredible things to contribute to your scene and don’t let anyone else tell you different.
