Perhaps one of the most wondrous facets of music culture in the UK comes in the form of grassroots, diy promoters and dj's who strive to broaden the eclecticism and experiences of people in their town. Based in Aberdeeen, Nina Stanger is a dj from Scotland who recently sent us an email following what some might deem as a fortunate, unfortunate experience if that makes any sort of sense. You never know who might turn up, hit the club, or the opportunities which might unfold as such...

Earlier this year footage emerged from a party in Aberdeen in which British politician Michael Gove was seen wildin' out to electro and jungle - he was alone yet found his way into the murky, smoke filled club in which Nina Stanger was playing a carefully crafted set of electronic and bass inspired sounds.

Soon after this she dropped us an email, explaining that she was gutted by the oblivious, unremarkable press coverage of the incident and was keen to be known for something more than accompanying the late night escapades of a rich Tory. We liked her style. 

She sent us the mixtape from the night itself and we were blown away by her selections. 

A keen digger, a radio regular on Edinburgh station EH-FM and a talented dj we offered her the opportunity to record a mix and demonstrate what she's all about. The result is an hour of cleverly orchestrated music which would work wonders in the club.

Nina Stanger: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Each year, we select artists to curate a second afterhours stage that leans away from dancefloor-oriented music and more into calming, atmospheric tones. @Mozghan and @darkentriesrecords did a remarkable job executing on the concept. The pair kicked off the stage on Saturday evening with a moody, cosmic journey of their own.

Alberta Balsam (live) | Blijdorp Festival - 6th of August 2022

Alias: Bat 
Pronoun: She / Her
Location: Madrid/Detroit 
Collectives: Silenciolocx / Landelles
Name of the mix: N 2 Deep 
About the mix: The inspiration from this mix came from some of two favorite djs from Detroit: Norm Talley and Delano Smith. As someone who typically selects from higher bpms I decided to take this mix slower and deeper. I really enjoyed putting together this selection of tracks from the wide spectrum of house music.

Live set from Geary Art Crawl 2022 on the Best In Town Soundsystem. Was feeling some slowed down, sexy proggy/trancey, with hints of euphoric house/techno, and some Latine flavours mixed in for this one. <3

Live @ Best In Town x Geary Art Crawl - Sept 25 2022

@panooc_music
Panooc takes you on a multi-genre journey this week with a tracklist that is sure to start your week right!

“First of all, I want to thank Bleak Narrative for inviting me to contribute a mix for their series - this was a wonderful opportunity to tap into another side of myself musically whilst drawing from my experiences as a queer, non-binary individual. This mix goes on a road trip of left-field techno, breaks, Detroit-style electro, drum & bass, deep tech and rave, and was an exploration of my feelings with the constant balance and re-balance of my physical self and the regular re- negotiating to find your “home” spaces internally and externally. I hope you enjoy this high energy journey as much as I did making it <3”

//about the artist
There is something about the freedom found on a dark dancefloor that holds so much possibility. For Panooc, a classically trained jazz musician, the dance floor was a space to explore their inner self and find new forms of self-expression in electronic music.

Soho Radio Magic Castles - The Gun Takeover with Andy Bell & Nick Stephens

Based in the Bay Area, @aunteesam of Club Pansy got their start DJing relatively recently. With their storytelling background as a filmmaker/editor and their strong sense for what it means to get lost in the emotions of a dancefloor, it feels like they could have been DJing for years. Viewing music as a universal language, their mixes are jubilant and connective — this is music for smiling at your neighbor through the fog, for uplifting one another, for heading home with a full heart and a changed mind.

"Music to smize to. As a filmmaker/editor by day, I really enjoy storytelling, evoking feeling, and creating a sense of warmth through the art. It’s not a perfect story, but it has a beginning, an arc, and a resolution.

This mix is bright, has some tight hugs of acid, and groovy bass lines to get your feet kickin’. I’m sharing music that combines my love of dancing and feeling sanguine - This mix is full of tunes that please my soul. I recorded this using an XDJ-RX2 and some studio monitors."

Durante estos meses,
mientras el mundo se desmoronaba,
hemos pensado mucho en la otredad,
lo pasado por alto,
lo diferente…
En definitiva, en todo lo que pone en jaque a la norma y al sistema cisheteropatriarcal

Este puede ser un buen comienzo para un cambio que está por venir,
junts podemos apoyarnos mutuamente para volver a resignificar la pista de baile

nos ha costado pero por fin nos hemos lanzamos.
Llega el momento de
Others To The Front!
