Living Room n°62 ~ @connaharaway ~ 'Wearing (oneself) To A Shadow'


q. pls introduce yourself
a. hei :)) I'm Conna – a DJ/producer currently based in Glasgow, UK. I am the co-founder of INDEX:Records and the creator of co:clear.


q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. This mix was recorded a couple of months ago – intended as an accompaniment to my debut album (“Lusidiq”), which was recently released on Theory Therapy.

I remember feeling rather uninspired to dig for new music at the time, so Gary (Theory Therapy label head) lent me his Bandcamp login; about half of the mix was curated via Gary’s Bandcamp collection. Most of the other stuff in here are songs that I’ve been rinsing throughout 2k23.


q. what’s the best way enjoy your mix?
a. Listen to it if you ever need to find solace in rough times </3


q. describe a favorite object in your living room…
a. My living room is the best room in my apartment and there are too many of my favourite objects in here… it’s probably a toss up between a huge 3m wide print, designed by Sasha & Dre, or my PS5 (which is connected to a mini-soundsystem).


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. I’m working on a kinda cray amount of projects currently: many exciting things with co:clear; a link up with 29 Speedway for an event in Berlin; and working on the finishing touches for some of my favourite records to ever come out on INDEX:

Thanks for having me <3

@motion-ward

Introduce yourself?

Hi there ~ I’m Jesse. I live in LA, run a label called Motion Ward, walk dogs, love food, make music with my friend John, DJ from time to time, and love my friends and family. Music is a way of developing emotional closeness with people for me :) 

Where did this gig take place?

This gig took place in Turin, which is in northern Italy right next to the Alps. The venue was a DIY space run by Misto Mame Collective and affiliates. About 9 people pay for the space to be able to operate monthly, and the feeling of community there is really strong and sweet. It was a highlight for me on this recent tour I did. Also really loved the people ❤️

What did you drink as you played?

I had one beer and water lol, and at the very end someone brought me a glass of red wine :) Was trying to minimize the amount I was drinking so I didn’t have to go pee, but eventually I had to loop a track and bolt to the bathroom :X (can you spot the moment?) 

Favorite moment in the mix?

Probably when it starts to escalate after the first few tracks ~ it reminds me of when the energy that night palpably shifted and felt like the dance floor was turning into an amoeba 🦠

Pontiac Streator Live set at Paral·lel Festival, Saturday, September 2nd 2023.

Pontiac Streator - Live @ Paral·lel Festival

✨ 𝓈𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹𝓈 𝑜𝒻 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓁𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓋𝑜𝓁. 𝟧  ✨

I started listening to ambient music properly during lockdown as a way of trying to heal from heartbreak as well as a coping mechanism to deal with what was going on around the world. I was pulling together playlists of tracks that made my heart sing or weep, to soundtrack my daily walks around the canals of berlin or the quiet residential area where i grew up and ended up moving back to. These playlists were the start of the sounds of healing series and my journey of digging deeper into ambient soundscapes via my refuge worldwide residency. It’s a genre that I probably would say I have the biggest emotional connection to right now, in the way that it has helped me through some really difficult times in the last four years. So it was an honour to bring this to the club space for the first time for playbody 002, a party run by some of my wonderful  friends. Sounds of healing vol. 5 is a glimpse of what I played during that after hours set, in what became one of the most beautiful settings with the lights dimmed, a candlelight by the decks, people curled up with each other on various platforms, kissing, or deep in conversation. It was touching to witness people have the same emotional reaction to the music as me; people coming up and saying how a track or artist had saved their life or that they just wanted to have this personal moment with the music, away from the conversation. It was deeply vulnerable to play some of these tracks to a group of people, some being strangers but it very much aligns with the journey I’ve been on recently. And with this mix, I’m not only sharing that moment with you but I’m bottling up this feeling and keeping it close to me forever.

sounds of healing vol. 5

Enter the mythology of NYC artist James K - her sound, equally organic and electronic, is a combination of odd dreams, hybridizing enchanted samples, ripped, broken and morphed rhythms, and vocals, both incomprehensible and appealing.
